Chemical waste disposal. The staff are very helpful and present on site most of the day.

Reviewer: Alronald 11 reviews from this member

 Really nice site on the edge of Kirkwall. Whilst it can feel as if you're camping in the middle of a housing estate at the same time you're right next to the swimming pool / leisure centre so if the weather's bad there's still thigs to entertain the kids with. Tesco, Lidl and the Coop a 5-10 minute walk away.

We arrived late evening off the Aberdeen ferry but the camp site had already provided us with the barrier code so it was just a case of confirming our pitch on arrival and driving to it. Facilities block contains individual shower and toilet cubicles, a communal area and there are dishwashing facilities. Wardens friendly and visible.

Lots to do - Kirkwall boasts a Cathedral, two whisky and one gin distilleries, a couple of museums, some interesting shops and eating places, and the ferry terminal to Shapinsay and the Northern Isles. We drove down to St Margaret Hope and Sands o'Wright, and also across to Deerness to Newark Bay and Mull Head. We also drove south over the Churchill Barriers and to the Italian Chapel (tip - try to dodge the cruise ship tours)

Reviewer: Bluebike 6 reviews from this member

 Staff were helpful when I needed to arrange an extra night.

Not having enough data to be able to download my email wasn't helpful and as coming from north had no signal or wifi for days.

Site good

Would suggest an out of hours phone number would be helpful as we don't all have wifi

Nights stayed: 7 Travelling as:  Other
Reviewer: NEJane 26 reviews from this member

 My son and I visited this site, straight after lockdown was lifted. We arrived, bleary eyed, at 11 pm and were a little anxious in case we couldn't find our pitch.

However we'd been given the code for the barrier, via email and we were delighted to see my name displayed in the office window, showing our pitch number.

This isn't a pretty site but, for sheer convenience, it cannot be beaten, after a 6 hour ferry crossing, from Aberdeen. It's only 10 minutes drive, from leaving the terminal.

Facilities were immaculate and having self contained privacy cubicles, during the pandemic, gave a feeling a safety. Sanitisers were everywhere, along with cleaning cloths to keep cubicles clean.

The staff couldn't be more friendly and made our long journey, worth it. On a plus side too, the Pickaquoy Centre is next door and the site is part of their business.

Having no access to our own swimming pool at home (closed until further notice) we were delighted to be able to book an hour's session, in the centre's pool. Again, the feeling of being 'safe' was paramount.

Kirkwall centre is only a short walk away from the site and offers every feasible shop necessary, for the touring folk. The fish and chip shop serves huge portions. Or at least, it did - far more than we could eat.

We paid £173. 95 for a 7 night stay x 2 adults, with hookup. It was money well spent, in our opinion and we would, certainly, return to this site, in the future.

Reviewer: Atmack 1 review from this member

 The facilities were excellent, clean, well arranged and with clear instructions.

The site is ideally located for Kirkwall and the local tourist facilities and very close to several supermarkets.

The layout is spacious with good separation of sites and well-tended grass between hardstanding sites, allowing also for tents, to allow a good variety of campers.

Can't say much more at this time.

 An excellent site, one of the best we have ever visited.

Fabulous views and a most welcoming host who couldn't have been more helpful.

Facilities were kept scrupulously clean.

Pitches were well maintained and certainly big enough

Reviewer: Medley 2 reviews from this member

 Great site. Great location for ancient sites. Very clean.

Lovely lounge if needed, , and kettle and microwave!

Would use again! Only 20 mins drive to ferry.

Only downside I would have preferred the tent only area, but it was too soft due to heavy previous rain.

Every thing was great, even the weather.
