Lybster

Lybster is a small settlement in the Highlands where most visitors either stay put or use as a base for exploring the wider area. The accommodation here leans notably toward camping and glamping: there are four campsites, each well-regarded, ranging from the family-oriented Caithness Animal Farm Park to the more polished North Star Glamping and Orchid Pods. For those preferring walls and beds, four guesthouses and hotels offer an alternative, with Taigh An TSaoir Bed & Breakfast and The Antlers both rated 4.8, while The Portland Hotel (4.4 from 235 reviews) has a longer track record.

The town itself has little in the way of attractions or dining venues that we know of, which suggests most visitors come for the space, the landscape, and the freedom of a camping holiday in the north Scottish Highlands. This is not a place of museums or restaurants—it is somewhere to pitch a tent, park a campervan, or settle into a room with a view, then venture out into what the wider region offers.
