What a position! Great views to the Orkneys across Pentland Firth. Whoever said there's no reason to stay more than 1 night missed a treat by not walking out to Duncansby Head & Stacks. We were lucky enough to see a Puffin. Facilities excellent and clean, lady who greeted us very friendly and helpful, allowed us to check in at 10 a m. Could do with a key each for the facilities though.

Probably one of the most envied camp site locations ever. Right at the top of Scotland in the village of John o' Groats. The site is adequate for the night you will spend there, there is no need to stay longer. You will marvel at the views of the Orkneys if you are lucky! have a wander around the rip off priced gift shops in the village, not eat in any of the equally expensive eateries and have your photo taken at the most famous road sign in the uk! Job done. The site has a vast toilet block with showers you could hold a dance in, a bit old and cold (a bit of heating for the £20 fee would have been nice) but spotlessly clean. Very friendly welcome from the owners, 16amp power, lots of water points. TV reception A1 mobile reception too. Wifi compliments (at a cost) of Highland Public Wifi. And that's it. You can say you been there but you are unlikely to go back. All in all a must visit----once!

I stopped here at the end of my LEJOG cycling trip and pitched my small tent. Plenty of space, although a bit exposed when windy, but that is the nature of the area. I pitched my tent behind the excellent shower block and locked my bike to a washing line pole, because like most sites there's no bike parking. The bike seemed perfectly safe though. Site is literally 30 secs walk from the end/start of LEJOG/JOGLE and is the only camping option, but a good one.

Stopped one night, doing the NC500. Well, you have to stop at John O'Groats & get that photo of the famous sign post pointing to Lands End, before the next group of charity fundraisers arrives to get their 'end of trip' photos. Apart from the jetty & refurbished hotel, there's not here of note, but late Queen Mother's Castle of Mey is nearby & well worth a visit. The site was fine, we expected the owners to be taking advantage of the location but the fee for EHU was about £20, well in line with similar sites and the owners were welcoming. We were allocated our pitch; we hadn't booked, we got the last hookup (mid week at 5:00pm); it was on well-mown grass (no hard stands left) which we prefer anyway. Fabulous views of Orkney from all pitches. Dog walk offsite towards the beach worked well. The showers were in massive cubicles, hot, free, and not the push-button pulse type. One key, so we had to co-ordinate our visits to the showers & toilets. We'd be happy to come back, but we might book next time to be sure we'd get a hookup.

Lovely site. Wonderful views of Stroma island and the Orkneys. We were very lucky with the weather and was able to go on the wildlife cruise around the bay. Facilities are very good and when I realised I hadn't enough pegs the lady at reception let me borrow some. Pitches are very generous and plenty of hard standing. No separate area for tents which is good for families with different units. Would definitely use again and thought it was good value for the main holiday weeks, £20 with electric for our motorhome.

Good site with plenty of space to choose where you wish to pitch tent. Facilities good, provided with key to shower/toilet block, so only good when arrive and warden is on site, although can access warden via mobile phone. Dishwashing and laundry facilities are also on site. If you need to get provisions, nearest shop is the post office about a mile away - not open on Sunday however. Nearest supermarket possibly Wick, 17 miles away. Great location for day trip to Orkney and John O'groats tourist facilities - with tourist vistor centre on site. If I venture that way again, would definitely stay there.
