Beachside haven
Husband and I stayed for two nights in August. Amazing location and beach was stunning. Very peaceful, even at this time of year and even though site virtually full. Great facilities and helpful staff. Stock up before you get there though (Tesco at Thurso or Wick was useful) Handy stopover for ferry to Orkney (10 mins up the road) Would recommend to all and hope to return ourselves. Dog LOVED the beach!
Very peaceful
What a lovely site, so peaceful, lovely views and right on the beach. A perfect place for the dogs, they loved the beach and the extensive forest walks just across the road. The facilities were very clean and tidy and the wardens friendly.
We really enjoyed our stay .
We had a lovely time at the site. It was very clean, the staff were very helpful. The Bay itself was beautiful. So much for families to do on the beach which was perfect. It was a real pity that we only stayed one night. This is one site which we would recommend to anyone.

What a site, loved it.
We only went to this site as its the most northerly site we could find, bit of a challenge. The site is basically a field with electricity points and a gravel road, but what a field it is. Situated a stones throw from the beach you would struggle to find a pitch that doesn't have a sea view. We were at the back, backing onto a road and still had stunning views. The road was not so busy that it caused any bother.
We had good weather, but I could imagine it getting a bit blustery up there at times.
It is only a small site and the facilities match, the washrooms were very clean and up to usual CC standards all be it a bit small.
There was no laundry facilities on site though, and having a beach and two small children meant we needed laundry.
We would love to head back up to this site, just a bit of a trek to get there.
Fantastic location
Just returned from 2 weeks at this site. The location is superb with the most fantastic beach on your doorstep. We were lucky enough to secure a pitch with a seaview . The park facilities are excellent and spotless. Friendly helpful wardens as per usual on club sites. We used this site as a great base for exploring. Visited Castle of Mey dunnet Head John o Groats the stacks of dunscaby where we saw puffins and even drove along the coast west of Thurso all the way to the Kyle of Tongue where we stopped along all the coves and beaches along the way. Took the ferry from Gills Bay to Orkney for the day trip which was amazing we were able to visit the stones of Stromness the skara brae and rings of brognar as well as some time in Kirkwall and the churchill barriers before getting the last ferry home. The only downside was a few dodgy days with weather and high winds which we lost our awning to one day! We also went along to St John's pool to the bird hide and were treated to many varieties. We saw plenty of seals everywhere we went and also a few sea eagles! Had a fantastic break which was well worth the long drive up very winding roads with breathtaking views to the top of the island!!
Fantastic position
Lovely views over Dunnet Bay. Friendly warden. Small shop with essentials. Some road noise but the sea and beach made up for it. Took a boat from John o groats to view seabirds and a visit to nearby castle of Mey is well worth it.

Superb!
What a lovely site! Always wanted to visit since becoming a member a year ago, and so glad we did! Stunning location, ideally placed for exploring the North East of Scotland. Day trips were all within easy distance. Site itself very clean and tidy with a good information room, wee herb garden and helpful staff who recommended places to visit. Strathy Beach is so stunning, like something out of a Med brochure! Would highly recommend the site - we had a great time and great weather (believe it or not!)
Edge of the World
We stayed on this site for five days in July. We had planned a week, but the Scottish summer drove us south two days early. There is a feeling of being near the edge when this far north, with only the Northern Isles far out to sea before the arctic circle looms. We had a wonderful time at this rugged, well equipped and well tended site. The wardens were efficient and friendly, and despite the challenging weather keep the site in good order with tact and humour. Well situated for trips to Thurso, Wick, John o' Groats and Orkney, in this land nature is king.
This site is well worth a visit, but remember that here roads are narrow and twisty and often single track, and self reliance is essential. But the rewards are the opportunity to see nature in the raw.
