We had a warm welcome to this site.
The site shop is small with just a few basics (it was September though so near the end of the season for him) but wick is only a 5 minute walk or so.
The site is quite large, well laid out & secluded.
The facilities, keycode entry system, are dated & the cubicles small but all clean & plenty of them.
There is a river just outside the site so we did suffer a midge attack the next morning.
We only stayed a night as we were touring but all in all this is not a bad site at all & for £10 per night for a six man tent, two adults & two dogs it’s a bargain we think!
Would return.

What a great site to find. Its very well maintained and looked immaculate when we arrived. The owners a very helpful and friendly.
We arrived with a view of staying one night but chose to stay for two which wasn't any problem. The site is reasonably priced and has everything you need. The showers are hot and free but as said by others a bit cramped for drying space.
Short walk into town along the river which is a nice walk and Wick has everything you would expect from a coastal town. There is a play ground on the walk for kids (1-2 mins from the site) and also plenty of space to let the dogs go for a run straight off the site.

As said a little hard to find the entrance to but the staff are very welcoming. The site is well kept and clean.
Pitches are a good size
Toilets are a little small and there is no where to change in private and if your pitch is near the trees, as ours was, there is lots of flies during the day and midges at night, so we had to keep our door shut but
Other than that is was a nice site.

A fantastic campsite. The walk to town along the river is lovely and much shorter than the route by road. The site owner was really helpful and even gave us a lift to the beach on his way to do some errands!
The toilets and showers are a little cramped, but clean and well-maintained which I think is more important!
There is a Co-op supermarket about 500m away, but the campsite shop sells a few things if you're feeling lazy.
Reasonably priced too (for two hikers + tent at least).
Would recommend to anyone!

We visited this campsite with two children (ages 5 and 8) and they loved it. Being forewarned about the misleading entrance to the site, we were prepared (it's not that bad - you just drive past a couple of warehouses) and we were very warmly welcomed by the owner. Maybe this isn't a problem for most people, but we couldn't pay by card as there was no machine in the office, but the owner very kindly let us pay whenever we had the chance to visit the cash machine (at the co-op).
Despite the fact that we pitched our tent at the edge of the site, near the railway line, there were so few trains running (about two per day) that it wasn't a problem.
We had read all the previous reviews about the showers (agree, a little tight for space, but lovely warm water) and the toilet block was thoroughly cleaned every day.
The area around the site was good for us - the riverside walk provided an evening's entertainment (a little play park and an observation platform) and the co-op was easily within walking distance.
We stayed in Wick in order to do a day trip to the Orkney Isles (very good), but also ended up visiting Duncansby Stacks and Dunnet Head, which both provided a good excuse for a walk. If we were coming back to this part of the country we would definitely stay here again.

I have lived in Wick up until I was 23 and decided to come back with the kids for a long weekend. The camp site is picturesque overlooking the river but be ware the entrance is tight with a very low bridge to get under. If you have a motor home then there is a separate entrance down by the civilian shooting range that allows you to enter along a track into the riverside of the campsite.
The weather was amazing and we went on numerous cycle rides along the river. This was probably one of the best weekends we have had away for a long time.
There is not much to do in Wick however there is a new indoor soft play area at the Pultney centre next to the Pultney Distillery.
The wardens are very friendly, helpful and willing to accommodate. The camp site was spotlessly clean although the toilets are a little dated and were not very warm even though the weather was blisteringly hot. Good Satellite reception with no real obstructions
The heritage centre is definitely recommended for a visit and it's size is very deceptive. You think the place is tiny but it goes on and on and never seems to end.
There is a large Tescos near to the airport but very little in the way of decent shops in the town, with most seeming to have closed down. If you want to buy a kilt or accessories then definitely visit the Blackstairs Highlandwear, very helpful owner who is more than willing to try to accommodate your needs.
There is a public swiming pool down by the river and if you are a bit more adventurous on a nice day then try paddling in the 'TRINKE' victorian sea baths out by the old Coast Guard station.
Would definitely come back here again for another long weekend.
