About Craigdhu Caravan Site

Craigdhu Caravan Site takes tents, caravans and motorhomes on pitches near Thurso in the far north of Scotland. The site has showers, and recently installed new toilet and shower blocks that include a microwave and kettle. Staff are reported to be helpful. Some of the pitches are uneven and can be poorly maintained, so it is worth checking conditions when you arrive.

Vivien Harris

Enjoyed our 2 night stay. Excellent little campsite with 5 star toilets and kitchen. Hard standing available for our motorhome. Plenty space for tents etc...great little vibe going on. My only suggestions to improve the campsite would be strumming the grass around the pitches and site to tidyy it up and decent mops in the showers. Person I spoke to when booking was very helpful. Thank you

Absolutely loved my wee trip to Bettyhill campsite such amazing hospitality very typical to our highlands they let you pitch with no hassles and as with most sites you dont get someone at reception its not Butlins!! (to everyone complaining!) They pop round to either take payment or you book online. Theres a spotless block of toilets and showers with plenty loo roll and heating. A kitchen with facilities more than other sites provide. Fresh drinking water and gas bottles for sale. It's quiet peaceful cozy and they let me dry my tent before packing up. Will be back up soon. Thankyou to all the staff for their hardwork keeping the site running.

Visited in may, If your lucky enough to snag one of the cliff spots you'll wake up to a nice view but overall this sight is too pricey for what you get which is recentley built showers, toilets, kitchen which includes microwave and 1 electrical outlet but no cutlery.

Another great campsite to visit. When we arrived, someone was in our pitch space however the site owner quickly assisted to resolve the situation. The Facilities were mixed but properly sectioned off rooms to shower in. each were clean and well maintained.
