  • Peaceful dog-friendly holiday park at a Moray coast fishing village
  • Walk to sandy beaches and forest trails in Roseisle Country Park
  • Adjacent to a beach; guests can use a pool 10 minutes’ drive away
Scouting for that one peaceful spot where all the family can take a break on Moray coast near Lossiemouth? Signed, stamped and sorted at Burghead Holiday Park, a peaceful holiday park in the Moray coast fishing village of Burghead. In these parts, you'll be able to go orca and dolphin spotting or birdwatching in the bay, and the Northern Lights are another frequent visitor during autumn… Dolphins, whales and aurora borealis aside, this holiday park has a few more special ingredients. There are no facilities on the park – just well-maintained grounds and lots of space to soak up that great outdoors – but it’s in a splendid location on the edge of Roseisle Country Park, a place where you can either follow forest trails or wander straight out onto the sandy beach (or combine a bit of both). When you fancy it, swap the peaceful setting for some slightly more lively scenes at Burghead Harbour, 10 minutes’ walk away. The village has shops, a pharmacy and an outdoor bowling club, as well Doorie Hill – the location for the Burning of the Clavie and the Pictish Fort. Following the coastal trail east on two wheels or two feet, Hopeman has lots more amenities and an 18-hole golf course (of course, teeing off is a must-do in Moray). While this is a thoroughly peaceful spot, a little extra entertainment (of the non-sandy kind) is on hand at the site’s sister park, Silver Sands Holiday Park, 10 minutes’ drive away – head here for free use of the swimming pool and to dine at the restaurant.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Warm, clean and well provisioned toilet block. Grass good for pushing in tent pegs. Lovely site next to the woods and beach and close to the historic village.

Disliked: No-one at reception, no-one answered our phone call, no response on the out of hours number. Had to get the code for the doors from someone else stopping there and guess where to pitch our tent.

Liked: Lovely peaceful site, smaller than expected for Tourers. Well kept & clean facilities. Just a few yards to the beach & also to the forest, brilliant for long walks in either direction to explore the Moray coast. We will definitely be back!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Lovely clean site and location is amazing.

Disliked: Only slight dislike is the proximity of the pitches. Certainly by the time a car is parked next to the caravan, you are right next to your neighbour.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Good pitch, well-maintained grounds and facilities.

Disliked: No staff on site to raise issues or questions with, and no out of hours contact possible. We had a caravan arrive on the hard standing pitch next to ours and they put up a massive awning which extended to within about a foot of our vehicle, obscuring our view and light, as well as obstructing our door. Shockingly inconsiderate and against site rules. The owners refused to remove it, with an arrogant and rude sense of entitlement. But there was no-one on the site who could have intervened and enforced the site rules, so we were left with a very unpleasant and intimidating experience for the rest of our stay. No-one from the site replied to our phone call or email and we left earlier that we would have wanted on our last day. Very disappointing.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Location is great as it is by the beach and woods, and an easy walk around Burghead.

Disliked: We arrived on Monday 29 July and left Sunday 4 August. No one seemed to have been round all week to clean the toilets or replace toilet roll in the ladies toilets, as by Saturday 3 August there was only one cubical (out of 6) which had any toilet roll. Also the hand driers were as good as useless.

Local attractions

It’s not just the Moray Firth coast that has stunning scenery, so point your compass inland too. Characterful Elgin (15 minutes’ drive) has a number of distilleries, including Glen Moray Distillery (15 minutes), Gordon & MacPhail South Street (20 minutes) and Glen Elgin Distillery (25 minutes), most of which have open days for the public and whisky trails – and of course, there are the typical Scottish pubs, shops and restaurants to duck into too. If you’re here to get up close and personal with the waves, there’s a surf school at the east beach in Lossiemouth (20 minutes). With another beach on the other side of the harbour and sand dunes, get acquainted with the lush sand too. Golfers who like to tee off with terrific scenery can also get sea views from the holes on the Moray Golf Club, a links course alongside the west beach. RAF planes also swoop low over the course, adding an extra touch to the atmosphere.
