  • Quiet caravan park close to the A9 in scenic Glen Glass
  • Half an hour’s drive from dolphin spotting at Chanonry Point
  • Full facilities and shop; five minutes’ walk to the pub in Evanton
Located in the sleepy village of Evanton in spectacular Glen Glass, Black Rock Caravan and Camping Park is so peaceful it feels like the middle of nowhere – but actually it’s really easy to access, being under five minutes’ drive from the A9 main route between Perth and Thurso, and only half an hour from lively Inverness. There's no need to travel very far to stock up on essentials though, as the park has its own shop, open daily, and there’s a small shop in Evanton too. If you prefer not to cook every night on your holiday, the village pub serves tasty dishes like burgers or fish and chips. Both pub and shop are five minutes' walk away. For peaceful times outside of the site, there’s loch and river fishing nearby (you’ll need a permit), as well as many, many hiking trails in untamed Highland countryside. Loch Ness, Glen Affric and the dolphin-spotting hub at Chanonry Point are all within easy reach for more outdoor adventures. And the practicalities? The park has disabled facilities, hot showers, baby-changing amenities and a launderette to keep everyone smart and shipshape, plus ice-pack freezers to keep your foodstuffs fresh. There is also pay-as-you-go wifi on the park.

What customers say

Great facilities, especially the spotless loos. Friendly staff (Gary & Donna get a shout-out!) and a lovely riverside spot with woodland walks nearby. Handy pub and shop. Some tight spots, but top marks overall for a welcoming stay.

Camping pod

Liked A lot of pitches (statics, touring caravans, tents and campervans, as well as 2 pods) but didn't feel too hemmed in and wasn't noisy either. We had one of the pods and it was perfect for me & my 15yr old son. Well equipped with a new combination microwave oven, kettle & mugs, mini fridge (just big enough for pint of milk) and heater. Had 4 sleeping zones with reasonably comfortable mats which looked pretty new. Would've been cramped with 4 in, though, I think. You can convert the bottom 3 beds into a giant bed instead but you'd lose the table doing that. Clean and cosy.
Site has a single shower/toilet block - 8 pods each with a sink, toilet & shower. Heated too. Separate block for washing up (3 sinks) with sitting area, kettle and books/jigsaws. There is also a baby changing room/disabled toilet in this block. The pods are provided with a washing up bowl, washing up liquid and a tea towel, which is a nice touch. There is even a laundry facility. The grounds are well maintained with a small park for young children. Recycling facilities, one of my bugbears, are well covered.
Easily accessible from the main road but far enough away to be quiet. The village of Evanton is within walking distance and has a pub, takeaway and Co-op.
We came for the off-road cycling and, boy, we found plenty of that! Views around the area are incredible. We even made it over to Ullapool, on the west coast, a drive easily done in a couple of hours.

Disliked Very little to dislike but enough to lose a star. Shame we couldn't park next to our pod. We were allowed to unload close to it but we then had to move our car. My biggest gripe was the apparent lack of regular cleaning to the toilet/shower block. They were very clean on Monday evening when we arrived but the floors weren't washed through the week (we came away on the Friday morning). The block wasn't dirty as such - just they could've done with a quick clean during the week.

Local attractions

If you’re into exploring out and about on foot, start off with an easy hike to Black Rock Gorge (five minutes’ walk), or take the longer trail around Loch Glass (25 minutes’ drive) to the well-known Insta spot and solitary pink house at Culzie Lodge. The hour’s drive up to the top of Glen Affric brings rewards in the form of spectacular walking alongside lochs and rivers. You might like to spend a day exploring Loch Ness (40 minutes), perhaps the most famous section of water in Scotland. Board a cruiser in Fort Augustus (an hour and 10 minutes) to look out for the famous monster, or read up all about Nessie in the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition in Drumnadrochit. Drop by Urquhart Castle (both 45 minutes) to see the Giant Tower, prison cells and dramatic loch views, or go wild swimming off the shingle beach at Dores (40 minutes). End the day in one of the many pubs or restaurants in buzzy Inverness (half an hour). Kids with you? Challenge them to paintball and archery at Wildwoodz Adventure Park Inverness (15 minutes), or take them dolphin spotting at Chanonry Point (half an hour) – be sure to look up tide times as the dolphins follow the tide up Cromarty Firth.
