  • Well-maintained site in the grounds of a golf club on the Moray Firth
  • Fochabers 10 minutes’ drive; Glenfiddich Distillery half an hour
  • Access to the golf course; dogs welcome; firepit and picnic tables
What’s not to like about Spey Bay Golf Club? It’s an impeccably maintained site in the grounds of a golf club. More than that: it sits right on the coast of the Moray Firth in northern Scotland. Want to crank this all the way up to 11? This coastline is famed for sightings of bottlenose dolphins. (By the way, if you want to learn more about these watery visitors, head to the WDC Scottish Dolphin Centre, a 10 minutes’ walk away.) In other words, there’s something here for everybody, not just the golf-obsessed in your midst – though they will certainly get a lot out of being on site, with a gorgeous 18-hole course where they can practise their swing and work towards reducing their handicap. Mind you, they might get distracted by the spectacular views of the firth and return home no better at golf than when they left… Meanwhile, non-golfing people might take the dog on a long, energising walk on Spey Bay beach (10 minutes’ walk), scramble up to Binn Hill viewpoint (20 minutes’ drive) for far-reaching coastal views, or take it a bit easier and sample the home-made gin at the bar. The firepit area comes with picnic tables and views of the sea. If you don’t fancy firing up the barbecue – which implies having to source provisions, though that’s easily done at Fochabers (10 minutes) – there’s a restaurant on site.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Fabulous location to listen to the waves throughout the night - best sleep I have had in a long time!
Have recommended to all my walking friends (and those who love dolphins!)
Great instructions on where to pitch.
Warm showers and nice clean facilities.
Fire pit with wood and a bbq were set up and available (although I just used my little trangia inside the brick enclosure).

Disliked: Lights went out while I was in the shower - had to open the shower and wave arms to reactivate which soaked the floor a bit - sorry.
Not clear where to do washing up or which was drinking water (ended up boiling everything just to be safe and then refilling water bladder in the morning from the bar when it opened.

Liked: Our one-night booking at Spey Bay Golf Club was very enjoyable. We booked last-minute and Bert was so responsive and helpful. There is a disabled toilet accessed via the door to the women’s toilets, the toilet area is kept unlocked to campers can access it any time and it is easy to get to from the pitches. The view is incredible and it was an absolute joy to stay here.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Great location with views of the Golf course and easy access to the beach.

Nice and clean toilets with children’s toilet seat and easy access sink available for our toddler.

Stone free and flat pitching area for tents.

Lovely fire pit area and the clubhouse had great food and service on a very rainy day.

Nice stroll to dolphin centre for some wildlife spotting, easy to access other beautiful seaside towns by car.
Very reasonable price.

Disliked: The clubhouse/ reception hours are flexible, so when we arrived there were no staff there, whilst this wasn’t an issue, it’d be nice to have a generic sign or email saying to just pitch and they’d see us in the morning would give a little reassurance to prebooked arrivals! However, we now know for next time!

Local attractions

Elgin (20 minutes’ drive) is home to the remains of a 13th-century cathedral on the banks of the River Lossie. Next door to the well-preserved ruins is the Biblical Garden, featuring more than 100 plants that are mentioned in the Bible. Meanwhile, the Moray Motor Museum displays a collection of vintage vehicles. The immersive 4D experience at the Speyside Cooperage Visitor Centre (25 minutes) takes you through the various stages of the art of making casks. You can then move on to the viewing gallery to see craftsmen as they create barrels for the whisky industry. Established in 1886, Glenfiddich Distillery (half an hour), on the outskirts of Dufftown, is one of the oldest family-owned distilleries in Scotland. Tours of the facility range from a basic 90-minute introduction to a full four-hour experience, which includes a visit to the cooperage and a guided tasting of single malts.
