We were touring the highlands doing the North Coast 500, so John O'Groats was on our list. This site is excellent for visiting the islands too, as a ferry leaves from Gills bay, just a few miles from site, to Orkney. The beach is amazing, as is the forest walk, just across the road from the site. Beautiful wood sculpture's can be found as you walk around. Great place for children and dogs to let off steam. Although there is no play area on site. With the beach and the forest on your doorstep, I think it's a great place for outdoor families. My only disappointment was with the warden, who was on duty when we went to the office. We had arrived in the afternoon, chosen our pitch, as per sign on door., I posted my membership card through the door and waited till 4pm when the warden was on duty. On entering the office, there was no greeting or acknowledgement. I gave her my name and pitch number, she handed my card back, checked the computer and her only words were...."one night £16.20." Very unusual, in my experience, for a warden to be so detached from their job. Everyone can have a bad day, but I don't think I'm the only person to have experienced this behaviour.
