Native broadleaf woodland along the edge of the park

Peaceful woodland park on the Black Isle peninsula
A 10-minute drive from Inverness; Aviemore 35 minutes
Easy access to major roads, including the North Coast 500

Whether you’re exploring the city of Inverness, driving the North Coast 500 or simply enjoying the spectacular shorelines of Ross, Cromarty and Moray, fast-track your way to relaxation at Kessock Caravan Park. With a relaxing atmosphere and very pleasant views, this place is a quiet woodland park on the edge of a sheep and Christmas tree farm in the Black Isle area of the Highlands. There’s no trouble getting here – the private site is easy to access, with good accessibility from a number of major trunk roads including the A9, A96 and A835. Then, once you touch base, you’ll be able to unwind on well-maintained and spacious grounds, with native woodlands on one side and fir trees (a varied landscape if you ever did see one) on the other. Naturally, that means lots of wildlife come to call here too, especially birds – just keep your eyes peeled on the farm for buzzards and red kites, a particularly common sight. Kessock Caravan Park is about a mile from the small village of North Kessock, an attractive spot on the Beauly Firth with a range of cafés, pubs and places to stock up on food. The larger city of Inverness can also be easily reached via the Kessock Bridge within 10 minutes.

94% would stay here again

This was taken not long after leaving on a nc500 trip

Several 'smaller' shower rooms, but with heating and warm water, and so clean

One larger shower room, again with heating, and again wonderfully clean

Every pitch has a picnic bench, really useful

Only showing reviews for the last 30 months.

Great site. Will definately return.

Liked: Toilet and shower facilities were nice and clean. Pitch sizes were good. Quiet and peaceful location but not too far from big supermarkets. Large grassed area to sit and enjoy the sun.

Disliked: No draining board at the sinks was a bit tricky.

Liked: Simplicity of arrival and check in process. The owner stopped by to introduce himself later in the evening. He checked we had everything we needed and ensured we had found all of the facilities.
We really loved the private bathrooms. It made for a very comfortable stay.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Beautiful, calm and quiet site. "If you are booked, enter and choose a vacant pitch" -wonderful. Toilets and showers immaculately clean and centrally located. Showers have easily controllable hot water.
Good spacing and lots of trees and cover between pitches. Very cheeky robins beg for crumbs (even entered the van looking for food). Some pitches have picnic tables.

Disliked: There were 3 showers, all modern and beautiful. Two of them have no hooks to keep your clothes dry, or to hang your towel. In those two, there is nowhere to put down soap or shampoo in the shower cubicle. Small things but when you are getting on a bit, small things count.

Local attractions

Chase down the Loch Ness monster in a boat, kayak or canoe… at Loch Ness (20 minutes’ drive), there are boat cruises, watersports rentals and the lochside ruins of Urquhart Castle (35 minutes) to explore. If you’re keen to add dolphins to your creature-spotting list, your best chance is at Chanonry Point (20 minutes) on the coast. The Scottish coast has more remarkable points of interest, such as the beach caves and stunning coastal walks around the Rosemarkie beaches (15 minutes) and Ullapool (an hour), a pretty fishing town. Other ripe walking grounds include Ord Hill (10 minutes’ walk) and its gorgeous views over Inverness, the Ben Wyvis trailhead (50 minutes’ drive) river trail, the ancient pinewoods in Glen Affric (45 minutes) or a sightseeing-themed wander through the streets of Inverness (10 minutes) itself. Mountain biking trails more your kind of thing? Head to the Learnie Red Rock Trails (20 minutes). Otherwise, you may want to bike, climb or hike in the Aviemore and the Cairngorms (35 minutes) for other outdoorsy days out.
