The man at reception was fantastic and told us all the times to see the dolphins at the bay which we did. The booking system is great, how perfect that you can pick your own pitch! We had one right on the beach front and the weather was amazing. The laundry room / kitchen is brilliant and the toilet / shower block very clean. The accessible wet room (Pea Pod) is a very nice addition and must be so welcomed by people who aren't so physically fit. Bravo! · via Google [Pat Shaw](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116515907856935824244/reviews) ★★★★★ Lovely little campsite. Even though we only had a tent, it was so nice we could reserve a pitch. The facilities looked new: they were clean and practical with homely touches - my wife loved the vase of wild flowers in the bathroom. · via Google [Shelly Pirie](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100559090978724175646/reviews) ★★★★★ Great first spot on our NC500 trip. Lovely plot with sea view. Good onsite facilities. Short walk to the town with great fish and chips shop and pubs that serve food. Very peaceful. Definitely recommend. 10 minite walk to chanonry point where we watched the bottlenose dolphins come in on the high tide. · via Google [Jo](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102546191626770218847/reviews) ★★★★★ What a delightful place to stay. Even before we arrived we were sent an email conformation with several PDF's with useful local information. On arrival, we were given more leaflets and booklets and explained about the area. We didn't have a front pitch to begin with but we were offered one for the 2nd night if we wanted to move. A short walk to Chanonry Bay, gave us dolphins on the 2nd day what a treat. Be patient!! Just a short work further gave us Rosemarkie, a delightful village. If you put the effort in the walk to the Fairy Glen wont be disappoint. Really helpful hosts, thank you for a lovely stay · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x488f6d50a4edfd29:0x48c5940d52534c9c!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this campsite offers stunning sea views and direct beach access, with many enjoying dolphin and seal spotting opportunities nearby.
