We chose this site as a one night stopover on our way up to catch a ferry to the orkneys - I'd read reviews so was a little concerned but thought as it was only for one night we could put up with general shabbiness etc. So it was a really delightful surprise to arrive and see an immaculately neat and tidy site, with possibly the friendliest managers I've met at any site - they are a couple who took over this year and have worked hard since January to get it to what they feel is a good enough standard (and their standards are high!). F or that reason only one of the two showers in the ladies is open, as the second one still had to be refurbished. There are nice personal touches everywhere, like fresh flowers in the shower block and planters full of flowers round the site.
There are further improvements that will be made, like making access to the motorhome water tap easier (inherited problems) but even as the site is now it's a lovely little site. It's ideal for dog owners as there is a lovely walk that goes from just outside the site all along the river.
This site has the biggest discrepancy, in a good way, between what I was expecting and what I actually got, the managers have already worked a minor miracle in transforming this site, so I'd happily return there any time.
Stayed at this site for 1 night while up in dingwall for the football. Site is right next to the global energy stadium which makes this 1 of the best locations in the country as a travelling fan ( could see our motorhome from inside the stadium!)
Now for the site itself, on arrival at 11. 30am we were told we were to early for our 12pm check in. I pointed out that as I had drove 3. 5hrs and as we had booked a grass pitch with no facilities and paid for the pitch online there was no real need for us to check in just park up (site was about 1/3 full) after about 10mins warden decided that would be ok?
Site very run down and could do with a complete make over!
Had a few drinks in the Viking and Mallard both seem like nice pubs. Apart from that never seen much of Dinwall. Our sole purpose of this trip was for the football and location for this is 100%
We will return again for the football and not for the site or its poor facilities
It could be a gem, have written to the CCC about this site. Situated as it is, indeed it is the gateway to the highlands. However, despite the hard working efforts of the manager and his wife, the whole site needs a make over. The fences are rotten, the roads are breaking up and the electrics are in need of an upgrade. The toilet and showers are clean but so old and worn even the best efforts of the staff cannot persuade me to use them. On a positive note, the town is an easy walk away, Tesco's sell diesel at a decent price and there are shops and bakeries on the high street for a pleasant browse. Train station is a 10 minute walk away and can be used to access other parts of the highlands.
A bit dated this Site as other reviewers have noted. There are 2 toilet & shower blocks, one, centrally located, with washing facilities and pass code locked, the other is very small in one corner but is not locked. Both are clean enough but need updating. I am also constantly surprised that, the further North I seem to go, the more Site owners feel a need to have uncovered washing facilities.
The neighbouring Global Energy Stadium, home of Ross County FC was having a full scale pitch replacement so there was a lot of earthmoving & construction work going on from fairly early on in the morning.
TV reception was poor and trains trundle along one side (opposite to the football ground).
On the positive side, the site is well managed by helpful staff and is located just outside town. Dingwall itself looks like a traditional, if quiet little town but is well placed to get across to Ullapool for the afternoon Ferry to Stornoway.
We had tried to book this site online but the computer said there was no suitable pitch available for our motor home. So we telephoned and were immediately booked in on a hard standing pitch with EHU.
This site is approached over a narrow railway bridge and then through the car park of Ross County FC.
Very friendly helpful site managers, husband & wife team. We were given a choice of pitches & picked one in the best area for tv reception which turned out not to be that good but we did get plenty of sunshine as we were not shaded by trees.
The site is next to the railway, but the trains are travelling very slowly as they enter the station & did not cause us any problems. The first one is about 6 am but none over night.
What did cause problems during the night was the noise from the boiler room of the football clubs under ground heating. This is on a thermostat and kept coming on and going off during the night which was a cold one. The nose was disruptive.
The shower block was very warm, very clean but dated and well ready for a refurb.
In fact dated and well ready for a refurb applies to the site in general. Which we understand now has its lease sorted so C&CC over to you as this is a lovely site.
A short walk from the site is Dingwall town centre which is very pleasant consisting of mainly independent shops. But does have a Tesco which had the cheapest diesel we have seen for a long time.
A walk in the other direction takes you along the canal to the old Harbor picnic site with good views down the Cormarty Firth and then back into the town centre.
Set at the foot of Ben Nevis in the midst of spectacular Highland scenery. Pitches with fantastic mountain views, for caravans, motorhomes and tents with EHU option, or choose a cosy camping pod or self catering lodge. Showers and toilets, dishwashing, small shop, WiFi, and children`s play park. Explore over 1,000 acres, including woodland, roaming Highland Cattle, fishing rights to the River Nevis, and a multitude of walks and cycle tracks. And afterwards relax in the onsite restaurant and bar! Find out more here
We chose this site as a one night stop over before heading north and were pleasantly suprised.
Its a lovely site on the edge of Dingwall, within walking distance of the town centre with good shops, award winning butchers, bakers, fishmonger, cafes, banks and take-aways. There are also 3 distilleries within about 20 miles.
Site staff are very friendly and helpful, the facilities are clean and the pitches, a mix of hard standing and grass, are broken up with beech hedges and trees. Even though its right next to the railway line the trains caused no problems.
Ross County football club is right next to the site but didn't cause a problem either, on the night that we stayed the second team were playing and entrance was free.
There is a short walk along the canal to a lovely picnic area overlooking Cromarty Firth.
If you want a pub then The Mallard is the only one in town worth a visit if only to say you had a beer on a railway station!
Would definitely recommend this site for both a short and longer stay, it would be a great pity if the Club lost this site at the end of the season as mentioned in Rfling's review.
Found Dingwall to be a pleasant little town. The campsite is in a good location within walking distance of the town along a quiet footpath. However, I received a rather unfriendly welcome and found the toilet block difficult to access in the dark. Could not find anything else to recommend this site. Also, if you happen to visit during the football season be aware that the entrance road passes the Ross County’s ground. Overall I was very disappointed and would not use it site again, especially as there is an excellent B&B further down Ferry Road.
An excellent friendly site, ideal for exploring the surrounding area or as a stopover for going further up north. The site is close to town, on the other side of the railway.
The wardens were very helpful, taking us to our pitch. We pitched on grass next to tarmac - seemed to be plenty of grass pitches for caravans, and all fine despite the exceptionally wet weather during our stay. We were very close to the railway line but were not woken by any early morning trains.
The toilet block was very nice, showers hot and clean.
The town has everything you need including a large Tesco (including petrol station), Tandoori restaurant, and chip shop.
During our stay we visited Hugh Miller's Cottage, a National Trust property in Cromarty that is the birthplace of this interesting writer, geologist, paleontologist and editor. Well worth the 30 minute drive, and the village of Cromarty is also very interesting historically, and with views over the Cromarty Firth.
Spent 11 nights here from 16th April in generally good weather. Site is a little tired and needs a general overhaul but I heard that there was a possibility that the Caravan & Camping Club could loose the lease on the land this year and maybe they are waiting for the decision.
All facilities were clean and fully operational and the site is ideally located for the town and the surrounding area. However, the site has the familiar problem on most C&C Club sites in that the waste water disposal drain is surrounded by a 12 inch high wall. Lifting a full waste container weighing more than 42Kg onto a wall to empty it is very difficult and dangerous. I am surprised that the Club Health and Safety officer allows the situation.
Despite all the above, we enjoyed the site and the wardens were gems!
We stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed it, the toilets and showers are spotless, small queue for showers early in the morning though, but not 2 long to wait.
The couple who run it were very friendly and helpful.
There is a walk up the side of the river which seemed popular, and in the other direction its only a 5 minute walk into town.
Didn't see an area for kids to play on but there's an area of grass next to the site which they can play on. Dingwall itself is a nice town to explore, plenty of shops and places to eat out.
If I was in the area again I would definitely return to this site.
