Liked: Very friendly helpful staff member. Great location. We had one problem and staff resolved this immediately.
Disliked: 1st pitch offered was opposite the toilet dump facility and there was a queue of large campers waiting to empty. It was Whiffy.

Liked: Everything; the scenery, the people, the facilities. The toilet and shower facilities were only temporary but still much better than most permanent facilities we've seen. Rabbits will graze just a few feet from the pitch. There's play area for the kids and just around the corner there's possibly the best playground for kids we've seen yet. Wick River Campsite is community run and all over Wick you can see signs of that spirit. Wick is the only place I've ever been where you feel welcomed be everyone you meet. The campsite itself is possibly the best maintained site we've ever been to. This is definitely the place to visit if you want space to breath or good people around you and there are plenty of other interesting spots nearby to visit if you're willing to look. Our only negative takeaway was that we had to head home to our normal lives.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Rural Situation and space. Nice welcome. The new facilities will make it into a really nice site.
Disliked: Difficult to find when coming from the North. Porta cabin facilities cramped but new facilities will sort this.
