 Good campsite, temporary facilities were good but limited in space.
However, the new shower block will be ready soon.
Close to town, with good dog walks.

Loved this site next to the river with wild rabbits bobbing around and a short walk into town.
Felt very safe and secure with nicely spaced out pitches. Welcome at reception very informative.
The facilities/shower block are nearly complete and it will be a 10/10 when it is.
Highly recommended

A lovely campsite, nice welcome on arrival.
Temporary toilet/shower facilities are adequate and the new block looks like it will be very nice when it’s finished.
The town of Wick didn’t have a lot of choice of food as we were visiting on a Tuesday a lot of places were shut.

Friendly site in a lovely location next to the river and easy riverside walk into Wick.
Flat pitches, whilst we understood there was a delay in the new facilities some of the alternatives were lacking - wash up was one unit outside with only cold water - an interesting concept for washing up a frying pan in the rain!
I think once the site is running with the new facilities it will be great but we were disappointed not to be informed of the lacking amenities before we travelled.

Only stayed for one night but wished we could of stayed longer.
We rang for directions and was quickly given directions, as the Road works at the alternative entrance occluded the campsite sign
A cheery welcome from all members of staff.
Only A very short river path walk into wick.
Temporary shower block kept clean and tidy.
Pitches spacious and in a good condition ( we had a grass pitch)

The campsite was pleasant with spacious pitches, lots of rabbits running around at dusk, close to the nearby picturesque river, and only a short walk into the town.
The town itself was a bit run down and not much to see/do. But the campsite itself was nice.
The temporary shower/toilet blocks for men/women were adequate, but the shower cubicles were very small so not easy to get dry/dressed in. But the new shower/toilet block being constructed looks set to be really nice if the exterior is anything to go by.
We had to use the alternative entrance/exit to the site as we were in a fairly large motorhome and it was a bit tricky when leaving as it's quite a steep bank with a turn out onto a busy road, so not ideal for a larger motorhome, but thankfully my husband is a good driver and managed to do it ok.

Lovely site with easy walks in and around Wick.
Facilities were not the best but we were aware of this prior to us going as they are building a new facilities block which looks like it will be fabulous when completed.
We loved that it is a community project and thinking of the environment.
We would stay again

Lovely location 👌 very helpful and friendly staff.
The bonus will be the new services which I'm sure will be open soon but in the meantime they are providing adequate toilets and showers.
Lovely stop over on the NC500

You can tell that they are working hard to improve and maintain the campground.
I can't wait to see how the improvements will look next year!
What a great location, right next to the river and walking paths.
A really easy under 10 minute walk into town.
Highly recommend :)

Friendly welcome from staff & knowledge about the area.
Nicely sited pitches & walking distance to town.
Shower/Toilet block due for refurbishment which will be another positive point for the site.
Will visit again.

Great pitches and a very clean, organised site.
Just needs the toilet/shower facilities updated which they are in the process of sorting.
On that basis, we would recommend a visit/stay soon or during the 2024 season.

A beautiful well situated campsite with an east walk into Wick. Warden was very friendly and helpful.
When they get the new amenities block it will be 10/10.
Everything was kept as spotless as you could hope for in such an old block ( we were there 30 yrs ago and it was old then !)
Will be back asap. So many beautiful beaches in the area and museums to visit on wet days

Bit busy when I arrived but the chap on check-in handled it well.
Great site map and map of wick.
No pitch markings that I could see but plenty of space.
Toilets nearer the camping area would be nice for those night visits, as would an additional dishwashing area nearer the tents.
Really nice quiet site, not too large and everyone seemed very friendly.
Toilets and showers had obviously had a bit of a face lift and were clean, tidy and well lit. They are intending to totally renovate when funds allow.
There is a washing line with pegs which would have been more useful if we had not had the torrential rain (with accompanying 50+mph gusts of wind).
Will definitely recommend and will hopefully be back next time I am in the area.
There is not a shop on site, but there is a co-op not far down the main road.
The site has low level lights at night - useful for the darker nights
The site is in an ideal position for walking into Wick and exploring the heritage trail and museum. Dont expect too much from wick town centre in way of shops/restaurants, but do explore.
The Trinkie and North Baths are two tidal pools, both walkable from the site. Do not swim in the Trinkie when windy and high tides - think safety. North Baths is a much safer pool, but probably better not to swim if waves breaking over the edge.
Altogether a well located friendly site.
