Don't waste your money. Said he had a pitch and took payment via email. No confirmation or information. Headed over there. Toilets were locked with a phone number. Tried to cally for an hour but no reply. Finally a lady let me in to the toilets, cold, dark and old. Showers required coins for the meter. Emailed saying I wasn't staying and wanted my money back. He phoned me and said I would get a full refund. That was 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back despite emailing. Site is ran by a church but obviously not Christian at all. Went to Dornoch much better facilities for only a little extra money.

Nice motorhome camping site with basic facilities. Electric hookup & water are available and there is a toilet block with coin operated showers, but no grey water or chemical disposal. Great location right near the beach.

Very dated facility’s although they were clean (coins are needed for the shower) and little view from the pitches. But walk over the small dunes and there’s a beach that stretches forever which is litter free and almost empty. My dogs ran every inch of it. This is spoilt by a kid on a motorcycle who speeds up and down without apparent reason.

Great views of the bay. Very friendly and helpful warden who found a pitch for us. Basic facilities are there and they are clean which is all I need. Electric hook-ups can be used. Moderate prices, 20 £ per night with electricity. Very pittoresque village. Definitely to be recommended
