A bit dated this Site as other reviewers have noted. There are 2 toilet & shower blocks, one, centrally located, with washing facilities and pass code locked, the other is very small in one corner but is not locked. Both are clean enough but need updating. I am also constantly surprised that, the further North I seem to go, the more Site owners feel a need to have uncovered washing facilities.
The neighbouring Global Energy Stadium, home of Ross County FC was having a full scale pitch replacement so there was a lot of earthmoving & construction work going on from fairly early on in the morning.
TV reception was poor and trains trundle along one side (opposite to the football ground).
On the positive side, the site is well managed by helpful staff and is located just outside town. Dingwall itself looks like a traditional, if quiet little town but is well placed to get across to Ullapool for the afternoon Ferry to Stornoway.

We had tried to book this site online but the computer said there was no suitable pitch available for our motor home. So we telephoned and were immediately booked in on a hard standing pitch with EHU.
This site is approached over a narrow railway bridge and then through the car park of Ross County FC.
Very friendly helpful site managers, husband & wife team. We were given a choice of pitches & picked one in the best area for tv reception which turned out not to be that good but we did get plenty of sunshine as we were not shaded by trees.
The site is next to the railway, but the trains are travelling very slowly as they enter the station & did not cause us any problems. The first one is about 6 am but none over night.
What did cause problems during the night was the noise from the boiler room of the football clubs under ground heating. This is on a thermostat and kept coming on and going off during the night which was a cold one. The nose was disruptive.
The shower block was very warm, very clean but dated and well ready for a refurb.
In fact dated and well ready for a refurb applies to the site in general. Which we understand now has its lease sorted so C&CC over to you as this is a lovely site.
A short walk from the site is Dingwall town centre which is very pleasant consisting of mainly independent shops. But does have a Tesco which had the cheapest diesel we have seen for a long time.
A walk in the other direction takes you along the canal to the old Harbor picnic site with good views down the Cormarty Firth and then back into the town centre.

We chose this site as a one night stop over before heading north and were pleasantly suprised.
Its a lovely site on the edge of Dingwall, within walking distance of the town centre with good shops, award winning butchers, bakers, fishmonger, cafes, banks and take-aways. There are also 3 distilleries within about 20 miles.
Site staff are very friendly and helpful, the facilities are clean and the pitches, a mix of hard standing and grass, are broken up with beech hedges and trees. Even though its right next to the railway line the trains caused no problems.
Ross County football club is right next to the site but didn't cause a problem either, on the night that we stayed the second team were playing and entrance was free.
There is a short walk along the canal to a lovely picnic area overlooking Cromarty Firth.
If you want a pub then The Mallard is the only one in town worth a visit if only to say you had a beer on a railway station!
Would definitely recommend this site for both a short and longer stay, it would be a great pity if the Club lost this site at the end of the season as mentioned in Rfling's review.

Found Dingwall to be a pleasant little town. The campsite is in a good location within walking distance of the town along a quiet footpath. However, I received a rather unfriendly welcome and found the toilet block difficult to access in the dark. Could not find anything else to recommend this site. Also, if you happen to visit during the football season be aware that the entrance road passes the Ross County’s ground. Overall I was very disappointed and would not use it site again, especially as there is an excellent B&B further down Ferry Road.

An excellent friendly site, ideal for exploring the surrounding area or as a stopover for going further up north. The site is close to town, on the other side of the railway.
The wardens were very helpful, taking us to our pitch. We pitched on grass next to tarmac - seemed to be plenty of grass pitches for caravans, and all fine despite the exceptionally wet weather during our stay. We were very close to the railway line but were not woken by any early morning trains.
The toilet block was very nice, showers hot and clean.
The town has everything you need including a large Tesco (including petrol station), Tandoori restaurant, and chip shop.
During our stay we visited Hugh Miller's Cottage, a National Trust property in Cromarty that is the birthplace of this interesting writer, geologist, paleontologist and editor. Well worth the 30 minute drive, and the village of Cromarty is also very interesting historically, and with views over the Cromarty Firth.

Spent 11 nights here from 16th April in generally good weather. Site is a little tired and needs a general overhaul but I heard that there was a possibility that the Caravan & Camping Club could loose the lease on the land this year and maybe they are waiting for the decision.
All facilities were clean and fully operational and the site is ideally located for the town and the surrounding area. However, the site has the familiar problem on most C&C Club sites in that the waste water disposal drain is surrounded by a 12 inch high wall. Lifting a full waste container weighing more than 42Kg onto a wall to empty it is very difficult and dangerous. I am surprised that the Club Health and Safety officer allows the situation.
Despite all the above, we enjoyed the site and the wardens were gems!
