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.

Excellent site
Dunnet Bay Caravan Club Site
Super site, straight onto beautiful beach, close to Thurso and John O'Groats.
Excellent facilities, clean and well maintained. Bookings and site well organised.
Only negative was they ran out of Ice-cream. Well it was the end of the season.

Great location
Dunnet Bay Caravan Club Site
We were lucky enough to stay here for 3 nights on warm sunny days. On arrival the best seafront pitches were taken but still managed to get a good pitch, the best pitches became available the next day so asked to move and it was no problem at all. The site is perfect for access to the amazing beach, where you can walk for miles and a great location for visiting attractions. We really enjoyed our stay here. The only downside is the close proximity to the main road where road noise would be a nuisance for the pitches at the back of the site.
Great site on the beach
Dunnet Bay Caravan Club Site
Great site right on the huge, sandy beach, with some rock pools when the tide was out. Clean, good facilities with a small shop. Some pitches are close to the road (these did not appear particularly flat), which can be noisy during the day but were quiet at night. Only a few pitches have sea views due to the high sand dunes. Within walking distance to the North Sands pub (fab food) and the Rock Rose Distillery. A road walk to Dunnet Head, which was particularly busy with cars and motorhomes passing by, who had chosen to drive and not walk (not our favourite walk as we had to keep getting off the road to let cars etc by), but amazing views once we got to the top. If we were in the area again, we would definitely return to this site.
A lovely site by the beach
Dunnet Bay Caravan Club Site
We stayed here for 2 nights before going to Orkney on the ferry, then one night on our return before heading off home. The site is clean, tidy etc just like al club sites.. I agree that the pitches roadside can hear traffic but only up to about 9.00 pm when it quietens down. WE had 2 nights in middle of the site and one night roadside. We didn't really notice it at all with a a radio playing. We found it a great site to stop over, visit the Castle of Mey, Forsinard Flows (down a narrow road) and to Dunnet Head (another narrow road with passing places).
Very clean but not ‘tranquil’
Dunnet Bay Caravan Club Site
We were staying here as a stop off on the way to elsewhere, so just for the one night. A sizeable minority of the pitches are by the main road, and unfortunately for us that’s what we ended up with.
But it’s a nice site, private entrance to a beach, spotlessly clean etc. Would stay again if in the area, but if a member wants a good spot they’re recommended to get there early (1pm), which of course isn’t always possible.
