 It was the worst camping experience in my life due to negligence of its owners.
I have stopped up there for one night only as coming back late on that day from far North and sought for place to rest. On arrival at this campsite I was not notified by owners about party that was going to take place that night on their premises, otherwise I would not have stopped with my family as were seeking for quiet night to have proper rest. It appeared later on that night that group called Rally Scotland, which was an organised group of over 50 people, was stopping up there for one night with intentions to party hard until early morning hours.
At 23:00 hours had phoned an owner to complain about noise coming from a previously set in main picnic area gazebo, which holded a stand serving alcohol, console for DJ and loudspeakers as well as rows of benches with tables. I was reassured over the phone that something would be done. Initially music was tuned down for about half hour but returned with full blast after that. Despite trying to contact Simon, who was one of the owners at that time, I could not get in touch with him anymore. Party continued until around 02:00 am making me unable to sleep.
I did not hear any apologies from owners in the morning and felt very disappointed with their act of neglect.
Other than that, toilets and showers remember probably cold war and its cleanliness standards were very poor. Did not use other facilities.

Really nice campsite with stunning views. Plenty of space and facilities were decent and clean. Very helpful friendly staff. The campsite is a little out of Inverness but there is public bus every hour which we used however with 2 adults and 2 kids we were only £2 more for a taxi back! There is a great little mobile kitchen serving burgers etc at night and breakfast rolls in the morning.

We picked a pleasant May bank holiday weekend for our stay at this pleasant site on the banks of the Beauly Firth.
The very best feature of this park is it’s location. The tent pitches (we do not use electric hook up) had the pick of the prime spots overlooking the Firth and it was lovely to sit overlooking the water and watching the lights on the bridge in the distance in one direction and the snow capped mountains in the other. Despite being so close to the city it felt very peaceful. There was a little road noise at night but probably only noticeable to us because we live in a very rural location.
The whole site had a very relaxed vibe. There are quite a lot of residential homes on site which made it feel almost like a wee village nestled on the side of the water. The welcome at reception was warm and friendly.
Facilities were basic but adequate. Pull showers - maybe a little attention to cleaning and some new shower curtains wouldn’t go amis - but plenty of hot water. Washing up facilities were also provided in a separate block.
Our kids loved the telescope mounted near the beach and the rope swing was a hit as well. There is also a large playing field with goal post so plenty of space for ball games, frisbee etc without annoying other campers. The play park is mainly an outdoor gym and swings. Great for our older kids and us! The beach is a small, mainly pebble beach. Fun for some rockpooling but not one I would want to paddle or swim from.
Being a short hop into the city was a novelty for us and for anyone camping on rainy days the close proximity of swimming pools, cinemas, trampoline parks etc would be a bonus! As well as all the shops, restaurants etc in Inverness, there is a wee shop at reception that seemed well stocked with the basics.
There is heaps to do locally. We had a drive around Loch Ness with a stop off in Fort Augustus for chips. This was incredibly busy even on an (admittedly warm and sunny) May bank holiday weekend so be aware that in peak season you need to be prepared to take your time!
As well as Loch Ness and Inverness, there is dolphin spotting up at Channory point and all the delights of the Highlands just a short drive away.
If you like a hands off, relaxed camping experience with the convenience of proximity to the city then this is a great pick!
If you value spotless facilities then you may be disappointed here. An upgrade to the shower block would gain this site a few more stars.
Lots of nice touches for the kids and a great location as a base for exploring the local area or up into the highlands.

This is an amazing site with lovely views. The site manager was very accommodating and allowed us to have a late departure as we were participating in the Inverness Baxters Running Event. The cost is great compared to other Scottish sites and I like the relaxed nature of the site - allowing you to choose your own pitch.
Dog friendly, kid friendly. We'll definitely be back. Thank you.

Good peaceful position out-of-town and next to the Beauly Firth. Must be very good in the summer weather!
Not much room in the lavatories! Facilities are clean and tidy. Good open views, Good skyscapes too.

Nice site with beautiful views of Loch. Very welcoming staff. Reasonably priced and a Bus ride from Inverness. Bus stops right outside campsite. Toilets/showers a bit dated but clean. Laundry facilities would seem a bit Heath Robinson to a qualified electrician but functional although expensive. Inverness us a lovely town and worth a visit but has no dog friendly pubs to eat in. We ended up walking 2 miles back from town towards campsite to Inchnaharry Inn where the food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Unfortunately you cannot walk to/from it from the campsite due to there being no pathways on a very busy road but the pub is worth a visit.

Stayed here for our planned (and doomed) NC500 trip, as our first night.
Very well organised and laid out site, in a veyr nice location, very handy for Inverness. The small shop on site sold most of the things you'd need.
Midge free camping, and reasonably priced (though slightly pricier than some sites).
The shower facilities were perfectly adequate, and in all, when we try our next shot at the NC500, we'd be happy to return here.

Tried this site 'on spec'. Great views across the Beauly Firth. No really specific pitches, but didn't find this a problem. Despite a number of children & motorcycles, noise was never a problem on the 4 nights we were there.
Facilities are a bit dated, However everything you want is there, clean and working. I admit chemical disposal point is dated, but also clean and adequate. There is an on site snack bar that does the usual fair for the campers. Also has a sign giving recommended times to go the Chanory Point to see the Dolphins.
There isn't a child's play area, (that I saw), but there's plenty for them to do.
Would recommend this site to anyone so long as you don't want everything looking like new and smelling of paint.
Enjoy.

Site is easy to find and access, views across the firth are stunning. However, the site facilities are rather tired, the chemical disposal point an acquired taste to use! Toilet and shower blocks are kept clean but are old and unheated, functional would be an apt description. Water and waste points are dotted around the site and are functional.
There are few hard standing pitches and theses are on a first come first served basis, tents can and do pitch wherever they like sometimes in 'silly' places.
Overall site is ok for a short stay or as stopover as the location is convenient and public transport runs from the site entrance. Could be a fantastic site if the facilities were updated.

Stayed one night in April 2016 as part of a tour, they were very helpful and good facilities plus a small shop on site but no local pub. Watch out for there site sign as the post code takes you further up the road.

This site is off the main road A862 heading west out of Inverness. It's in a nice spot by the sea. We stayed here for one night. The toilet/shower block is ok. It has a lady on site operating a tea van selling burgers. Drinks etc. The cost was reasonable. Very quiet site. There is no pubs nearby at all though. So not good if you fancy a walk to a pub at the end of your day.

Had an overnight stop here during our tour of Scotland. The owner was pleasant and informative and allowed us to pitch where we wanted. The showers were good, plenty of hot water. The on site take-away van was a nice idea, however the haddock chips and peas were very poor. Fish that looked like you'd get frozen in a box from a supermarket. All in all though a good stay and I would definitely stay again.

Lovely situation by shore of Loch but rather disapointing. Pitches close together so had people passing by all the time. Showers etc. Dated. One benefit was the food stall which opened in the morning for breakfasts and bacon butties. Close by Inverness which is a very pleasant and busy city. Visit Leakies bookshop in a converted chapel on Chapel Street.

First time at this campsite and we will definitely be back! Beautiful views pitched right on front and saw some seals swimming past on the Saturday night. Loads of birds flying beside the tent. The owner was very helpful both over the phone when booking and once we arrived. The toilets although yes dated were immaculate and always clean and never had to queue. Showers were fine hot water at all times and pull chain did not bother us in the slightest. Bonus is the lack of midgies which could be due to the salt sea water! Cant wait to go back

Site is really well situated to access Loch Ness, Glen Affric, The Black isle and also Inverness city (useful on rainy days). It has a pretty coastal view and access to a stoney beach (a bit too seaweedy for kids playing but good for exercising the dog). The campsite's best feature was the variety of small areas round-about for kids to meet and make friends - lots of random rope swings hanging from various trees, football pitch, swings etc.
Facilities were OK but not amazing. Toilets and showers were being cleaned but were not spotless, and were very dated. The campsite shop at reception sold most basic supplies and also has a freezer for ice blocks. There are a couple of plugs you can use to charge phones in the dishwashing room. Other good point was the excellent hair dryer in the ladies toilets which was free to use!
Had good day trips to Glen Affric, Culloden and Loch Ness (did the full tourist circle). Fantastic Forestry Commission mountain bike trails at Learnie Rock (good for all ages) on the Black Isle and whale and dolphin centre there is also good.
Had a good week there but probably wont go back as we prefer the more remote sites and feel we saw all the things we wanted to in this area.
