Fabulous site right by the beach. Flat grass pitches ideal for tents and a toilet/shower block with kitchen round the back with everything you could need - hot water, washer & dryer, kettle and microwave plus loads of local info and even a little nature hunt on the site for the kids.
The road cuts through the middle of the site but it's so quiet it didn't matter at all.
A delightful fifteen minute walk along the coastal golf course takes you to the point to look out for the dolphins, and the owner was helpful and friendly and told us about plenty of other things to find beyond that in Rosemarkie. Beautiful sandy beach, rockpools, a beach cafe and even a cave further along round the coast, not to mention an excellent local play park that we wouldn't have known about from just looking at the map!
Couldn't have been happier with our pitch for the night. Brilliant price/value for money too!
Delightful site right on the shore by the small but historic town of Fortrose. Excellent views across the Moray Firth with the added bonus of the UK’s best dolphin viewing point within 10 minutes walk.
Rachel the site manager could not have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the new shower facilities next to the reception block are a welcome addition to the older, but clean and functional older block at the far end of the site.
The site is an excellent base for touring the area both to the north and south of Inverness. Culloden and Nairn are within easy reach to the south, and Cromarty, Glenmorangie and Dornoch to the north. Highly recommended, and will visit again.
Great site by the sea, with spectacular sunsets. Can Walk 1/2 mile to the point and see dolphins and seals. Plenty of walks from site. Pub 3/4 mile from site with very good beer.
All pitches are on grass and just about wide enough if you have a slightly larger unit. The road runs through the site but that wan not an issue at all and we never had any noise. We walked to Rosemarie where the CCC site is. Although it also has good views, this was the better of the two and half of the price!
Toilets and shower dated but functional and free hot water.
Quiet, wonderful views sunshine and dolphins. What more should I say. We stayed 9 nights and lived every minute. Rachael and Mike are fab owners attentive but unobtrusive.
The toilets were lovely and clean and the new shower shack was fab.
We will definitely come back her as it is one of the nicest parts of the country we have visited.

We booked for 2 nights and stayed 5. Lovely relaxed site with no silly rules.
2 unisex showers, but no need to worry as this works well. Older toilet blocks with 1 oldish shower in them - but all very clean.
5 min walk to shops, good walk to Chanonry Point and round to Rosemarkie's beach. Good swimming there for our dogs, and nice beachside cafe where you can sit outside with them.
Our 2nd visit to Forrose Bay Campsite, and it won't be our last.
What a fantastic site this is, directly on the shore of the Moray Firth with lovely views in all directions, and an easy 10 min walk into the centre of Fortrose with Pubs, Butchers, Bakers, Co-op etc.
Don't let the fact there is a public road running through the site put you off, it is extremely quiet, (there is much more traffic on the one running through the Caravan & Camping site at Rosemarkie).
The pitches are mainly grass, but very firm and well drained, you have a choice between more sheltered ones behind reception, still right on the shore with lovely views, or the much more open areas all along the front of the shore, all with hook ups.
There are 2 toilet blocks, one each end of the site, both with one shower for each sex which are spotlessly clean, but for the luxury experience use the new unisex 'Shower Shack' beside reception, a heated building containing 2 shower rooms with large glass shower enclosures, electric showers with variable heat settings, (no buttons to press or timers) a large dressing area with a lovely wooden stool and lots of hooks for clothes and towels.
A 20 minute level walk along the shore by the golf course takes you to Chanonry Point, the best place to see the Dolphins, which usually make an appearance at low tide, we even saw some from our pitch. Rosemarkie and the Fairy Glen are also both within walking distance.
In the evening you can see the fishing boats out on the Firth. This was by far our favourite site on our round the coast Scottish tour, the lovely owners have got the balance just right, friendly and helpful but never in your face and this makes for a great relaxing site.
Been to this site couple of times. Changed ownership last year and has had a upgrade. Toilet blocks upgraded. New shower block. Very friendly wardens. Spectacular views.
£20 a night dogs free. (the Caravan and camping club is £30 a night). Used to be free WiFi. Now it's £2. 50 a day. Go into plough pub in Rosemarkie. It's free and fast.
TV signal ok. O2 Mobil is ok too.
The dolphins at Channory point is good viewing. The carpark has been reconfigured. Think there's less space now. But in peak times free park and ride bus to Fortrose. You can walk to Channory point from Fortrose campsite 30 mins along coast.
We have just spent 5 nights at this site - we moved from Rosemarkie so we could have a 'sea front' pitch & use our canopy. Rachel welcomed us, provided a free map of the Black Isle & explained the locations of the necessary facilities on the site.
Stunning views - pleasant mile walk to Chanonry point where we did see the dolphins as well as a variety of sea & shore birds.
Dolphins & otters were also visible at times from the caravan.
Facilities are old but very clean although there are not many showers for the size of the site.

Booked this site for 3 nights and was bowled over with stunning location so stayed for 5, right on the front, short walk to lighthouse to see the dolphins they did not disappoint back to site, has just had new owners who are doing all the right things facilities are old but well maintained all ways clean an earlier poster states no MH point there is it, s along side second gents toilets so no problems for MH, s the CCC along the road at Rosemarkie will have to improve in both price and their welcome to guest, s or lose out to Fortrose
PS campers kitchen has sinks, microwave, washing machine, dryer and ironing board
We spent three nights here at the start of our highlands tour. Very friendly welcome and we were given a map of the Black Isle and information about the area. It's a short walk to Chanonry Point where you will see dolphins on the turn of the tide. We saw seals from the site.
10 minute walk up to the village where there are a couple of pubs, a restaurant and fish and chip shop. Reasonable sized co-op and butcher and baker.
Facilities were clean and free showers.
The only downside to this site is that there is a road going straight through the camping area. It's not a very busy road and most cars go slowly but I would be a bit concerned if camping with small children.
We arrived at the C&CC site to be told they were full for the weekend and they suggested we try Fortrose Bay site.
We did, they fitted us in but they too were full by 3pm on the Friday afternoon.
The site is set out on a long strip of grass along the shore, some tent pitches on the side of the road furtherest from the sea, the rest on the sea side.
Pitches were defined by marker posts, there seemed to be a fair bit of confusion as to whether units should be parked in the middle of the markers or to one side (the details pinned outside reception showed to park with the driver side to the post but to be fair many wouldn't have read that).
The loos and showers were old but have to say have found very few places where they are kept cleaner - spotless in the ladies by reception at all times. The shower in there was good and hot, decent pressure and not on a push button.
There is a water fill for motorhomes at the endof the first pitch section, no drive over empty point but several grey water dumps. Chem disp at the rear of the facilities block and ehu on all pitches.
Wifi is available for £2. 50 per 24 hours, pay direct on line not to the site.
The village of Fortrose is less than 10 minutes easy walk, a butchers, two bakers, a couple of cafes and a small supermarket. We loved the Fortorse Cafe, great scones, super friendly staff and good coffee.
There is bound to be comparisons between the Rosemarkie and Fortrose sites, we found them very similar in terms of both have a great location, old but immaculate facilities and fab owners / wardens.
This site is in a lovely location and we found it to be relaxing, welcoming and well maintained.
Overlooking the Moray Firth, with easy access from Inverness it is a great base for exploring the Black Isle which we did on our bikes - the roads were quiet, views beautiful and hills challenging. The small town is an easy walk away and there are some shops, cafes and a hotel/bar serving food.
From checking in we were made to feel very welcome, encouraged to choose our own pitch, which was very quiet and given information and leaflets about the area.
Although the small toilet/shower block at reception was not modern, it was well maintained and clean and the new unisex shower block is very spacious and well designed.
Would highly recommend, and would definitely return.
As with at least one previous reviewer we had always stayed at the nearby Rosemarkie CCC site. This year, however, we had a few problems with their running of the site so we resolved to try Fortrose Bay. Suffice it to say that it is highly unlikely we will ever stay anywhere else on the Black Isle from now on. Mike and Rachel are extremely friendly and welcoming - nothing is too much trouble. The site is peaceful, clean and tidy; the views across the Moray Firth are superb and we can only think of it as our 'little piece of heaven'.
