A great basic CL.
Spent 4 nights here. A simple, basic CL with water, chemical disposal, and bins at the end of the drive.
The lady who owns the site is very warm and welcoming. It's an honesty box for payment, but she does pop down in the evenings to welcome people.
The site is an undulating but well kept patch of ground with huge mature oak trees between some arable fields. When I was there, the harvest was in full swing but didn't impose at all, in fact it was quite interesting! Lots of room for 5 vans, and an informal system of picking the best, flattest bit of ground.
5 mins to Cawdor, a really nice village with the famous Castle and some great walking along the riverside. 2 mins to Howford Bridge with an excellent riverside walk into Nairn, or Cawdor. The stunning beaches of Nairn are around 10 mins away. Probably the best beaches in the north of Scotland.
I had a great break at this CL, and I will definitely be back.

Peaceful weekend break in November
What a lovely peaceful spot for a relaxing weekend. Although the weather was bad we had a lovely view and were warm and cosy on our first 'off-grid' experience. Allanaha is really well situated for sightseeing or just chilling and a visit from our host Margaret Lyle made our weekend. We will certainly return.
Don't tell the others
This is a basic, gas only, CL but is up there with the best for it's tranquility; the wildlife; the views not to mention is most charming host, Margaret.
During our 4 night stay we enjoyed seeing so much wildlife that it was far too easy just to stay at base all day. The pheasants, entertaining as always; a family of 3 young buzzards, warblers, deer, owls and lots more.
Brodie Castle is well worth a visit on your way to any of the beautiful coastal villages.
In nearby Nairn, you'll find a good Sainsbury's for fuel and food etc.
Just north on the A96 is the Caravan and Camping Club site (ooops!) if you need to replenish your gas supply. Also on the A96 is Highland Campervans who have a good accessory shop.
fantastic wildlife
We recently stayed on this site for two and a half weeks , Mrs. Lyle is the nicest person you could wish to meet , she pointed us in amazing directions for local site seeing places, the scenery, and wildlife on the site keeps your heart and camera clicking,, we will certainly be back again soon.
Thanks for owners help
In June stayed here on the way up North and on the way back, but for some technical reason I was unable to activate the "leave review" button until now.
This was an ideal site for us; basic and quiet with good views. There are not many CLs left that charge so little and we think that it is important that we support these before they all succumb to rise of facilities and related prices.
The owner, Margaret, called to chat with us both times and we spent a long chat putting the world to rights.
It was after we left the site to return south that we called for fuel in Nairn and it was only when we were in Pitlochry (89 miles away) that evening that I realised that I had left the filler cap and bunch of keys, including door locks and ignition spare at the fuel pump. A phone call to the petrol station confirmed that they had found the cap. I then called Margaret to ask if she happened to be in Nairn could she collect the cap. It tuned out that she knew the owners of that station and she offered to collect and post it to us that same day. It was waiting for us by the time we got home and she refused payment (we sent it anyway).
So here is an owner who makes precious little for letting us stay on her land and then goes out of her way to help us.
Thank you Margaret, we will see you again we are sure.
