This was our first time in the area and this site had everything we wanted. I had to work on one of the days of our trip so my wife was left all day without a car - no problem here as the beach and and village of Findhorn are only a couple of minutes away on foot and she didn't need to go anywhere. The village has some good pubs, cafes and an excellent and well-stocked convenience store barely a minute from the site. The interesting Findhorn Foundation, with it's eco-village and brilliant food shop are a lovely 20 minute walk along the sandy beach.

The site owner was very friendly and helpful and let us pitch up more or less where we liked. The site is spacious with plenty of power hookups. The toilets are clean and the shower cubicles are enormous! Might be a good site to go to if you have to use a wheel chair.

Overall a wonderful site that we will be visiting again very soon I hope!

One point worth mentioning though - they don't accept tents anymore, so be aware!

Brilliant place to be, I stayed here 4 nights and really enjoyed. The park was not busy so I picked my pitch where I wanted, they are all flat grassy pitches

The shower block was good standard and clean. The kids of all age groups would have plenty to keep them happy here, grown ups have 2 good pubs serving top grub. Mini market / post office, couple of cafes

This is second to none for beautiful scenery, kinloss RAF base a mile down road but in 4 days I heard 2 jets take off, whether I was lucky I don't know

I'll be back here for sure, so relaxing. There is good golf courses around this area, also good for cycling as its flat around this area.

Had a weekend here and would recommend it.

Good points:

Location, location, location. Fantastic. Right on the beach. Right in the village. 5 mins drive to Forres, 10 mins to Elgin.

Touring site has flat grass and is well drained on sandy soil.

Showers are enormous. The cubicles are probably 7'x6' and there are 6 of them on both m/f sides.

Bad points:

There is a lack of electric points for the size of the place. When you arrive, you will see plenty of nice quiet spots among the dunes and think, great, let's head for one of these, park your van and start setting up. And there you will find the problem. The electric point will be miles away and all the ports will be full already. We arrived at 630pm and got the last one. Anyone arriving any later in the evening, as people did on both nights we were there, will be hard pushed to find any electric point and certainly not in an area where you want to pitch.

At night the site is moving with rabbits, so the grass is covered with their droppings, to the extent that you cannot avoid walking on them. These will tend to stick to your footwear, so its very easy to drag said droppings into your accom.

Whilst palatial in size, the showers are sadly lacking in pressure. I was the only one in but the showers were still only a trickle.

None of this would stop me recommending this site, simply because its in such a great locus.

We have visited this site a number of times and always enjoyed our stay no matter what the weather. When it is sunny the beach walk into the village is stunning, often seeing seals along the way. Another good walk is across the dunes towards the windmills and this brings you out into the Foundation village which is fascinating to walk around. The area is good for cycling too.

Satellite reception is a bit hit and miss. The site does get full and it is best to book in advance during the peak season. We tend to visit in the autumn and the peace is thoroughly appreciated. The Kimberley pub in the village (10 minutes walk) serves great food and real ale.

The Crown next door has a good large TV screen for watching the important sports events through the year. We love it here and would recommend it to anyone.

Reviewer: Fsdss  (5)   Date of Visit: July 2007  Unit:  Other

We looked around this site with a view to booking next year. So we didn't actually stay.
From looking around a number of sites this appeared to be one of the better locations, literally minutes walk away from the golden sandy beaches. The site appeared well maintained, very tidy with good sized pitches compared to the other 3 that we looked at.
The staff were very helpful and gave us all the info that we needed. There was a small play area for the kids
The local shops and pubs are within a few minutes walking distance.
The best bit was sitting watching the dolphins playing in the water near to the site

What a great site just a few mins from the beach and the village. Excellent toilet and showers, though could be a bit crowded in high season. Could do with more dish washing facilities.

Thoroughly recommend this site. Good eating / drinking places in the village.
