Why stay here ...
A good choice for those who enjoy solitary tranquillity, at Dunnet Bay Club Site you can admire the stunning views over clean washed sands to lovely Dunnet Head, the northernmost point of the British mainland. Located in Dunnet, Thurso, the caravan park is in an area of vast natural beauty - it's a perfect location to unwind from the bustle of day to day life.
Dunnet Bay Club Site is ideal for walking expeditions and offers great nearby dog walking too. If you climb Dunnet Head you will be treated to magnificent views over the Pentland Firth to Orkney and a great part of the north coast to Ben Loyal and Ben Hope. To take in local restaurants as well as some retail therapy, a day trip over to Orkney from John O'Groats or Scrabster won't disappoint, in fact you can island-hop the string of islands by both boat and coach. If you're a keen birdwatcher, you can take a ferry trip around the Stacks of Duncansby to see a wealth of seabird life. Anglers are spoilt for choice with sea fishing by boat from Scrabster, fishing from the beach or freshwater fishing nearby. Sites of historic interest include the majestic Castle Mey and Mary Anne's Cottage, a museum detailing crofting life.

Breath-taking
Stayed here in September. The wardens need and deserve a shout out as they took delivery of a parcel for us which arrived before we did! The views are stunning, it was a great place to relax and unwind and forget your worries and look at the wonder of nature . The site was very clean and all precautions taken as required during the pandemic. We will be back

Great place to relax!
First time to this site, but won't be the last! Like many other like minded people, needed a break from the dreary news and lockdowns. This certainly made us forget the outside world for 1 week! Having 2 dogs, the beach and adjacent forest walks in the Dunnet Community Woodland were absolutely first class, we all benefited from fresh air and exercise. The weather also played it's part, some cold days but dry. It is well placed for Thurso John' O Groats and Wick as well as Duncansby Head.
Facilities due the COVID were restricted but this did not impact our stay at all.
Views and beach stunning
Booked here for 3 nights but only stayed for 1 as the weather wasn’t great (as you might expect for this part of the world) ! Quite exposed when very windy so be prepared for that. Beautiful beach where you can walk for miles but little else nearby so again bear that in mind. Really glad we visited. The only down side here is the toilet/ shower facilities which are mentioned in other reviews. 2 toilets only despite it being quite a large site. Not really up to the same standard as other sites we have visited. That said, great for those who are able and happy to use on board facilities. Great hotel called the Northern Sands just up the road. Lovely food and well organised re Covid safety.
Wonderful location
Absolutely loved this site, the beach is stunning, dog friendly and easily accessed directly from the site. The Site Wardens were friendly and helpful, providing information on our pitch, the facilities and the location. They clearly explained to read the information provided on the COVID restrictions and it can be fully understood why the facilities are restricted to one family group at a time, its just a case of avoiding peak times and being patient, though we didn't need to wait at all. We cannot wait to go back to this site and spend more time there and would highly recommend for anyone who wants a stunning beach and beautiful scenery.
