Culloden Moor Club Campsite

Spent a few days at Culloden Moor in May whilst touring Scotland, entrance could be signed better, had to queue to get in, was aware sit wasn’t level but some effort had been made to level some pitches whereas others could have been made level easily but had been left with various degree and directions of slope. Grass area for tents was on a slope.
Facilities were ok and clean. Few nice walks around site and Culloden Moor battle field not far from site.
Great site & location
Great site overall, very peaceful and remote so perfect for the start and end of our NC500 trip.
Most hardstading pitches aren’t level and some really aren’t acceptable, especially down towards the tent pitch & childrens play area. We travel in a small VW campervan so don’t have the luxury of being able to carry levelling ramps. We saw motorhomes with ramps that still weren’t level, so be aware of this when booking.
I’m not sure why some of the roads on site are now permanently fenced off, forcing you to drive around the entire of the site when trying to access or leave your pitch. It seems really odd and just adds to unnecessary traffic around the site when the existing layout appeared to work well.
Similarly, to the new fences are in weird positions and unless you walk in the opposite direction to the toilets / showers and dishwashing areas, to then walk back on yourself through a gap, you need to cut across a grass area which makes no sense when the original path has been fenced off.
I’m sure there’s a reason for the added fences and layout but it made no sense to us and was quite frustrating when carrying the washing up!
Why no WiFi?
This is a very well run, peaceful site set in beautiful countryside only six miles from the capital of the Highlands, Inverness. The wardens are very friendly and maintain the site to a very high standard. Although many pitches are sloping caravaners and motorhomers all seemed to cope easily using ramps.
On arrival the warden was very welcoming and placed great emphasis on the 5mph speed limit around the site which we found very encouraging. Despite this we noted many instances of the limit being flagrantly ignored. What more can the Club do to stop these idiots?
The complete absence of WiFi is, I feel, a distinct disadvantage and needs to be rectified. Although my smartphone gave good 4G internet access it is disappointing that I was unable to utilise my annual subscription to the Club’s WiFi.
That said this is however an excellent site and we would be happy to return despite the absence of WiFi .
A really good experience
This is a very pleasant site with helpful staff and a very high standard of cleanliness. Some of the pitches are just a bit too sloping for motorhomes, but it’s a lovely spot and ideal for setting of to or returning from the NC500. Would highly recommend it and would have no hesitation in returning.
Excellent club site
Wardens were very professional, conscientious, courteous and went above and beyond especially when we had to return early home due to unforeseen hospitalisation of a family Member. The grounds and facilities were spotless and could not fault sight or the team.
very quiet and peaceful and dog walking facilities excellent.

What a difference!
If you haven't been to this lovely site for a couple of years or so then you should definitely make a return visit. Reviews from before lockdown were less than favourable and for good reason, the site was going downtown rapidly. But now, goodness what a difference! Neatly cut and manicured grass, plant tubs with actual plants and flowers in them, new painted fencing giving a neat and organised flow to the site, spotless facilities, a very well stocked information room with book exchange, a small shop in the neat reception offering basics you might have forgotten. The two tight corners on the site road have also been widened slightly to allow easier manoeuvring around the site for larger outfits. Joe, Sarah, Richard and Marcella, the site team, work tirelessly to keep the site running as smoothly as possible and always looking it's best. The new sign for the dog walk made by Joe always brings a smile when we drive past and it's these little touches that make this lovely site somewhere we return to year after year.
Will definitely be back!
Don’t know where the previous reviewer was staying but even though our stay must have overlapped with theirs we have certainly not found any reason to be unhappy.
Yes some of the pitches are a bit mossy but at the end of the day this is a caravan site and not a residential street in a perfectly manicured town. We would be disappointed if the Club insisted that all signs of nature were to be rubbed out.
Our stay has been lovely and we will definitely be returning to this great site.

Fantastic Experiance
Having visited the site several times, it is pleasing to see the site improving year on year, over the past few years.
We arrived today and we're greeted by a very warm and friendly informative warden, who took time to explain attractions available in the surrounding area,bus service etc.The warden went through a few standard site rules, which was refreshing as on some other sites we have visited, we have been greeted with a grunt and a point in the direction of the pitches.
On entering the site it is warming to see how much the site is improving,grass is cut, trees and shrubs seem to be kept tidy now.
The Toilets are spotless with some great stats available to pass the time away (and all good points if you care about your environment and your club).
Took a walk down to the dog walk and again improved, it used to be full off mud on entry, not anymore. Its fantastic to have this facility as part of the site.
The water and waste points are spotless and you can sense the wardens are really trying to turn this site around, all four wardens walked around the site early evening, think this is a fantastic gesture, shows they really care about there customers and there safety. Overall fantastic experiance.
Can't think of what to say but EXCELLENT.
Lovely site, clean facilities and exceptionally friendly, efficient and helpful staff.

Well deserved positive praise
My husband and I popped in past today for a visit only
We stayed on the site last year and we were more than disappointed with the unkept grounds and toilet facilities were not up to usual standard
Wow what difference a year makes ! It’s more than evident that Jo and Sarah are not only dedicated managers but extremely hard working to change this site round in such a short time
We will be back next season
