Great campsite with plenty of facilities and gorgeous sea views! Pitches are quite narrow and close together but didn't detract from our 1 night's enjoyment. Friendly pub nearby and toilet facilities were very clean. We went in mid April so not very busy but still plenty of holiday makers and motorhomes. Recommend booking.

Okay place for an overnight stop with a lovely view overlooking the beach. We were allocated a spot at the end by the beach but we found out that it was quite a walk to the one toilet and shower block. Pitches are very close together so don't expect any space to relax outside your van. Facilities are a bit sad and there were no sanitary bins in the ladies toilets.

We failed to book a pitch in advance and tried to get one with electricity after 12. Lucky enough we got it. It is wonderful experience there and we stayed two nights for a relaxed atmosphere and enjoyed the spectacular view there. Beach is so close and easy to reach. Smoo Cave and Art village are close by. That is the Scotland in my dream. We simply love our decision to be there. On camp site, we can have dinner and breakfast take back to our van. There is also a bar to meet friends. Shower is a bit walk from our pitch, but toilet and kitchen cleaning are easy to reach from different locations.

One of best and most organized campsite on NC500 route. Quite big campsite, with a magnificent view and a superb sandy beach. Couple of trails and places to visit if you stay longer... We only stayed one night as we're on NC500 road trip but we enjoyed and we stayed more time than planned. Clean facilities, family showers, laundry room pub, shops and food places within 10 minutes walk... Being on the coast and on top of the cliff yes it may be windy, but you should do your researching before coming to Scotland, it may be windy and rainy... Lovely staff, very helpful... Excellent choice for a short or longer stay...
