  • 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.

Dmitrii R.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked This is the best campsite we’ve stayed at in Scotland in terms of organisation and comfort.

Check-in was quick and efficient, and a member of staff even drove us to our pitch in a small electric golf cart and helped with parking.

The facilities are outstanding:
- Eight individual shower/toilet blocks, each with its own outside entrance. All showers, cubicles and toilets are modern and in excellent working order.
- Laundry facilities with 9 kg and 20 kg washing machines plus a dryer, all payable by bank card – no need for coins.
- A warm, well-lit utility block for dishwashing and other chores, which also includes a children’s playroom.
- A separate outdoor playground for kids on the campsite grounds.

Staff were also very welcoming and provided detailed information about both the campsite and local leisure options, which was extremely helpful for planning our stay.

Overall, everything is well thought through and maintained to a very high standard.

Disliked The only minor inconvenience was that the hairdryer works only with 20p coins. We didn’t have any cash with us, so it wasn’t very practical. Perhaps reception could have helped, but we didn’t ask.

Camping pod

Liked Fab couple of nights stay here. The pods were clean and ready for us on arrival. The gentleman checking us in was fab and was very knowledgeable of the local area! The toilets/shower's were immaculate and so warm. My daughter loved the children's park and made some lovely friends.
We would definitely stay again.

Swordale camping pod (four person, no pets, deluxe)

Liked Awesome host, beautiful quiet location and incredibly cosy little pod! Perfect for what we needed. We were a day late due to car issues and Martin was very understanding and kept in contact the whole time. Once we eventually arrived he was there in minutes and showed us to our spotlessly clean and very well equipped holiday home. It was perfect! We will definitely be back next year ! I will recommend to anyone that will be travelling up there. Out group of 3 had additional needs adults and everything was fast smooth and most importantly stress free. Can’t recommend enough.

Disliked Nothing. It’s all brilliant. Everything you could ever need. We had additional needs adults in our group of 3 and it was completely ideal.

Camping pod

Liked Had an amazing 9 days the pod was comfty and clean had a kettle 4 cups 2 spoons and a microwave and washing up bowl with tea towel and spong the pod is next to an amazing forest walk we took a walk to the famous gorge but on the way the forest is so peaceful. I camped in the pod by myself with my 3 children my 7 and 11 year old the cubical for toilets and shower is very clean the washing machine and tumble dryer are very handy and u don't need to bring your own washing supplies, supplies it for you and the washing up area is clean and handy too and all the staff there are so friendly. We was always out and about and I didnt have a car but I used the bus and got to see alot of attractions whilst we was there! we also eat from the local cafe and pub overall I am extremely happy I came across this camp site in my search and would recommend to anyone.

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.
