My least favourite out of the ten sites used to tour Scotland.

We have been touring Scotland in a hired motor home normally we are caravan owners. There are several things I found wrong with this site. Firstly it feels like a rally on a school field. There are no separations between the pitches like hedges/trees or fencing. Secondly, the pitch which we had a lovely aspect but was really uneven. Thirdly, the entrance has only one space to pull into when you arrive which is in front of the motor home filling station. This caused a lot of trouble when you needed to empty the waste and fill the tanks as people parked there to register and you were unable to wait as there was nowhere to go. Fourthly, it was noisy, the main road to John O Groats runs along side the site. It is a constant hum day and night. The good things were the key operated toilet block, however I think this was only due to the close proximity to a car park which is next door to the entrance barrier and seems to have people staying overnight there. It is in a lovely position looking over the beach if you get one of those pitches and good for John O Groats plus ferries for the islands.

Good site, good location, busy and popular

We visited at the end of July before our trip to Orkney. Lovely site, beautiful beach in easy access. Very busy as Route 500 is so popular, so a must book. We ended up on grass but with a motorhome prefer hard standing. Block is key access, given one as standard but more available if you ask. No mobile or internet access. Friendly wardens, good local knowledge and of other sites in area.

Great site

Another site we visited on our highland tour, Dunne Bay is a great site with wonderful views of the bay we sited by the gate to the beach with uninterrupted views, it's a very clean, neat and tidy site with extremely clean facilities from here you can visit castle of Mey, John o'Groats and Dunnet Head which are all close by and a must see, it's a dog friendly site with the beach practically joining it

Stunning location

We stayed here for one night on our tour around Scotland, if we had known how beautiful the location was we would have planned to stay longer. The site is right on the beachside with easy access, facilities are spotlessly clean, site staff are very friendly ( sorry didn't manage to get the guys names). We visited Dunnet Head, John o Groats and Duncansby Head which are all only a short distance away, top marks A****

Finally made it to top of the country

This was the best site during my tour of Scotland 's CC Sites , had 4 nights with no problems , but yet again I have to comment on the ridiculous number of dogs , the club needs to address this issue and soon , children have to be paid for , and dogs do not and that is why some people bring 4 or more dogs with them --- for free ----!!

Another great stay at Dunnet Bay

We had another great stay at Dunnet Bay. After spending a week travelling route 500 we stayed at the Bay for our second week. We had a great relaxing stay. The short walk to the Northen Sands Hotel is a must. Went into Thurso on the bus for supplies. The bus stop was only a couple of minutes away. I would recomend the forest walk accross from the site.

Book to avoid disappointment

This is a great CC site, sorry, CMC site, with fabulous views, access to an amazing beach and kept immacculately by brilliant wardens for whom nothing is too much trouble. It is perfect for the Highland 500, perfect for anybody in transit to Orkney via Thurso or Gills Bay. But it is small, so if you have not booked you may be turned away, and alternative facilities are not plentiful, although the kindly wardens will point you at possibilities they cannot guarantee that those sites have availability.

Superb site superb wardens!!

The wardens here went over and above their duties and customer service requirements. Friendly and helpful.... love them!!! Now the site - well wow. That's all I can say. We wanted to go somewhere where we could chillout and relax and we certainly did that here. Fantastic views and a great destination. Dunnet head is better to go to than John o groats and the gin distillery is a definite winner!!! A week here for us next year without a doubt xx
