 Excellent site.

The facilities block is new this year and is lovely.

The site is much more sheltered than many in Caithness and the staff are great.

 First return visit to the site since the upgrades carried out recently.

The site is now very impressive, from the polite reception on arrival, to the overall site layout and the new facilities, the transformation amazing.

The site was busy with a mixture of tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and appreciating what the site has to offer.

We will certainly return.

 We absolutely loved our stay here.

Friendly personal, brand new facilities, very clean, great wifi (important for our teenager kids), enough space, possibility for fishing.

Shopping possibility in walking distance.

We booked a night more than intended.

Reviewer: Siesmicchief 1 review from this member

 WOW, this site left us speechless. We planned to stay here for one night whilst doing the NC500 but it was so good we booked an extra night.

From the moment we arrived the service was second to none. The Warden was very friendly and so helpful, the site is very well laid out and kept immaculate. We were on a hard standing pitch which was large and well spaced from the pitches either side.

The site has a communal barbecue area which we thought was a lovely touch and has a small children’s play area, but there is also a larger play area just next to the campsite. If you like bunnies you will love this site as there are wild rabbits hopping about aplenty.

And then there is the facilities block which is like something you would find in a five star hotel. They are stunning to say the least, and kept spotlessly clean. There is also a family shower room, disabled facilities and an amazing laundry and washing up area, and to top it off we discovered this is a community run site. I think you will be able to tell we were impressed by this site and it was without a doubt the best site we stayed at on the NC500.

Wick is just a five minute walk along the riverside.

Reviewer: Maddog24 1 review from this member

 Given I signed up to review this campsite should show how delighted we were with this campsite!

My son and I were driving the NC500 and chose wick river campsite as our first overnight stop. From the welcoming friendly reception staff to the well laid out campsite we couldn’t have been happier.

However their crowning jewel are their facilities, toilets and showers that could compete with any up market hotel. Really makes the difference when you stay at a place that takes pride in their presentation and having spoken to several visitors during our stay everyone was very impressed with the site.

The owners/team should be very proud of what they offer and for anyone transitioning the NC500 it’s a fantastic start/end stay with beautiful beaches very close by.

 This has been the best campsite so far doing the NC500.

Very clean and modern facilities.

Guy at reception couldn’t have been more helpful too.

Definitely return, well done 👏🏼👏🏼

 Lovely site with outstanding, brand new facilities. Toilets, showers, hairdryers, dishwashing room and washer and dryer room. 5 mins walking distance from the town, local shops, pubs, hotels etc.

Campsite manager could not have been more helpful, and lots of rabbits running around the sight.

Really nice dog walk, and a children's play park behind the sight on the river front.

Had 2 fabulous nights there and will definitely return next year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 What a lovely well maintained campsite.

The pitches are large and well spaced out.

There is a brand new toilet and shower block with spacious cubicles which were very clean.

The manager was friendly and helpful.

The site is located a few minutes walk from Wick with a lovely riverside walk. Perfect for walking the dog.

Lots of rabbits roaming the site.

Take midgie repellent!

 Wick River is a lovely clean, open and well maintained site. We were welcomed by helpful and friendly staff.

Plenty of room to each pitch. The amenities are clean and fit beautifully to the site.

Its location is out of the way but so near to the town with a short walk along the river to shops and places to eat.

A good base for visiting the surrounding area.

Be a short overnight or a few days it is the place to stay for this area.

Thank you.

 Stunning site, was a stop off on a longer tour. Grounds are well kept, pitches are roomy. Site itself is peaceful with friendly staff who chat away.

The brand new toilet block was only just opened when we stayed (5 days). Spotless of course but showers are very spacious which you don't always get! Well worth the money spent on it.

We didn't use laundry/dish washing but did have a look around and they also look great.

We walked into Wick by the river which is a lovely wee walk. Wick itself is sad looking now like many towns.

If we were staying for longer we would have to venture further as no much there at all. Even the pubs were quiet. This is the only reason I've scored it 9/10 overall. No fault of the site owners.

We would 100% come back and also would highly recommend this site to anyone.

 After completing the NC500 we just had to leave a review for Wick Campsite. This was the first campsite we stayed at and it honestly put all the others to shame.

Camping and hiring a motorhome was a first time experience for us so going onto a campsite we had no idea what to expect, we could not believe how luxury Wick Campsite was.

Not to mention it was absolutely spotless, on arrival we were greeted and as it was our first time in a motorhome we were clueless with emptying everything and hooking up our electric, the man was so helpful and spoke us through everything.

Everything felt so luxury to what we were expecting, the laundry room was amazing and the guy helped us out with some detergent as we never brought any! The dishes room was spotless and the changing rooms were so beyond spacious.

Great location for nice walkways at night with the dog, every campsite we stayed at as we carried on our journey was disappointing as Wick really set the standards super high! Will be sure to come back even just to make a visit to enjoy wick & the campsite!

Thanks again to the man who helped us and the team who keeps everything spotless! Great job!
