Why stay here ...
LOW 10% refundable deposit plus FREE cancellations and FREE amendments*
A good choice for those who enjoy solitary tranquillity, at Dunnet Bay Club Campsite 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 Campsite 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.

A nice place to stay.....
Dunnet Bay Club Campsite
We stayed here for 6 nights mid March, and more or less had the site to ourselves. With easy access to the beach, there are lovely beach walks as well as coastal walks nearby. Despite the site being close to the road, there was no road noise at night. The wardens Claire and Alan were so friendly and welcoming, coming up with new recommendations of places to visit during our stay. If you wish to go to the most northerly point on mainland Britain, this is without doubt the best place to stay! The ferry to Orkney is close by.
Beautiful site ,Brilliant staff
Dunnet Bay Club Campsite
Stayed for a couple of nights mid March, had a great stay, lovely easily accessible beach, everything spotless just what you need and you will not meet a nicer couple than Clare and Alan who run the site, what a joy to meet them, We were going to extend it was so enjoyable, had it not for my wife being in need of a little medical help and again Clare and Alan were so helpful and gave invaluable advice. We will be back.
Beautiful beach site
Dunnet Bay Club Campsite
Two minutes walk to the beautiful beach at dunnet bay. Site clean and well run. Ideal for walking and for pets. Walk in the woods just down The road from the site which is worth a visit.
