 We love this site. We must do as we have just returned from our 8th or 9th visit in as many years.
Under new ownership, we'll look forward to seeing the changes that will be undertaken. But also hope that it basically stays as it is, a lovely unspoiled site that has steered away from all singing all dancing facilities. There is no play park for children. But you have a great pebble beach, where both our children [now teenage] spend hours. The position, views and wildlife are what help make this site one our absolute favorites.
The facilities are still spotless, even though the site was full and the weather not that great.
Fortrose has a co-op, bakery, fish and chip shop, cafe, restaurant and beautiful jewellery shop.
For wildlife head up to Chanory and hopefully you'll get to see famous dolphins, if you time it for after low tide [when it is on the turn]. You'll be in great company with a good crowd all there cameras poised.
There is a fantastic walk up past Eathie mains down a steep but proper track that leads to a beach where when the tide is out, you can fossil hunt [head right when you reach the bottom and head round the headland a bit].
There is so much to see and do in the area, but you can also get across to the west coast, so a day trip to Applecross up and over the Bealach na Ba is a must for us for lunch at The Applecross inn.
Even storms don't stop us coming to this site [and we've weathered a couple here now]. We will return again next year.

Lovely find of a site and much better value than the one on the other side of the peninsula.
10 min walk up to the light house to watch the dolphins
Lots of Pitches had a sea view and mostly taken up with caravans. ( now own a caravan so will be back to try these out)
Toilets and showers are split in two with only one washing up place in the far block from reception.

This is a lovely site in a great position next to a pebble beach. We are in the middle of a 12 night stay here and it is so relaxing and peaceful, as I sit writing this a seal has just swam past the caravan towards chanonry point which is a 20 minute walk away and where we spent a good hour this morning watching the Dolphins, having seen them on 4 out of 5 days so far. We have good views down to Inverness which is about 14 miles away and it is 30 to 40 minute drive to Loch Ness. The site has two toilet blocks and though the block closest to us has just one male and one female shower they seem to cope well even when the site is busy. The new owners are friendly and helpful and we will return if we venture this far north again!

Everything good previously I can vouch for. I have camped up the road at the CCC site for the past near on thirty years. But will in future be booking this site the welcome is a lot warmer and the the pitches not as worn out. The other point is this site is not regimental as the other. Facilities were very clean but old.
Will recommend this site to anybody and wish the new owners all the best, looking forward to returning.

We returned here again, after discovering it last September. The site has been taken over since last year. The new owners are very friendly and very keen. The site is very good. All pitches overlook the Moray Firth. The site is suitable for tents, caravans and motorhomes. Chanonry point is less than five minutes drive away, or fifteen minutes walk, here you can see great views of the famous bottlenose dolphins. The facilities are excellent. Clean toilets and showers, clean and well equipped washing up room. I would not hesitate to recommend this site to anyone.

Just back from a 3 day stay here.
Lovely relaxed site, we were able to chose our own pitch with electric hookup, overlooking the Firth, from which we spotted an otter one night. We also saw a dolphin with her calf.
We used the showers in the unisex shower shack, was a bit apprehensive at the thought, but no need - this setup works well, modern electric showers with good water pressure, also very clean, as was the older style Ladies Toilets.
The site is a short walk into town where it was good to see a nice selection of local shops still in business, and the Co-operative Supermarket had a good selection of supplies. We also had brunch in the garden of the local cafe, which welcomed dogs.
Be careful not to miss the sign for the site, from the main street in Fortrose, the road down is fairly narrow, but there were large caravans and motorhomes that traversed it without problem.
All in all we enjoyed our stay, and will certainly return.

Stayed here for two nights on a round trip of Scotland.
Lovely site with spacious pitches right on the beach edge.
Showers and toilets were very good.
The site was quiet, yet just a few minutes walk into Fortrose. There is a nice walk down the edge of the beach to Chanonary Point which is perfect for Dolphin spotting. We saw dolphins from both the point and they also swam up past the campsite.
Can highly recommend and would definitely use sgain.
It was also very good value for money.

Fabulous loction, camped right at the edge of the beach with stunning views over the Moray Firth. Level pitch but you will need your rock pegs for this site.
Campfires on the pebble beach if you wish.
Very quiet and serene through the week except for the cars using the road through the site (possibly more noticable because otherweise so peaceful). At the weekend the other campers will drown out any road noise.
Fridge/freezer and microwave available in pot washing area.
Family sized shower rooms but they are sited at the opposite end of the campsite from where they ask you to pitch if you have kids. I had a 3 year old and a baby with me and the logistics of using these were impossible for us.
Would stay here again.

First actual stay at this site although I live relatively nearby and frequently visit the area.
I chose this site based on its idyllic location, size of pitch and value for money.
The site is under new ownership and proved to be an excellent place to stay.
Each pitch is spacious with terrific waterside views with easy access to the beach.
Chanonry Point is about a mile away on a lovely walk to the side of the golf course along the seafront. This is an ideal dog walk and can be extended further along the beach into Rosemarkie.
The site is quiet, facilities including showers and kitchen are great and represents excellent value.
The site is well maintained and has obviously been updated by the new owners.
Overall a terrifically quiet place either for a brief stay or as an ideal base to explore the Highlands with relaxing evenings being spent watching for the Dolphins.
I shall return here and would advise anyone thinking of visiting to do so as I found it to be the best option in the area.

Stayed here as new reviews suggest the new owners have made great improvements. We weren't disappointed. Great walks in and around Fortrose and Rosemarkie. The beach is great for walking the dogs and perhaps checking out the Dolphins.
Lovely quiet setting, and would come back again.

This our second stay with new owners Rachel and Mike who are incredibly friendly and helpful. They are working really hard and improving their site. The site itself is right on the water with incredible views. Ground is well maintained with good level grass pitches for all. The new shower units are great. There is no play park but who needs one with the beach and so much space to run. This is the first time we have come back to a site since we got our motorhome last year. It is so peaceful. We had used the club site round the point at Rosemarkie before but often felt crammed in on small pitches. Not an issue at Fortrose. Pitch fees are extremely reasonable too. A short walk takes you into the village where you'll find a butcher, baker, Co-op, brilliant fish and chips and the Anderson with a real ale and whisky 'menu' to make you need to stay longer. You can walk to Chanonry Point from this site and then round to the beach cafe in Rosemarkie. We have a black labrador who is made very welcome. So much space for him to walk, run and swim. No need for a designated dog walk! There is so much to see and do without having to leave the site with our motorhome. Don't miss this little slice of paradise.

We have just returned from a fantastic weekend at Fortrose campsite. The campsite has fantastic views across the Moray firth for ALL pitches, and there is access to a pebble beach, which my boys enjoyed skimming stones from. The new owners are a friendly couple (Mike and Rachel) with two dogs, they were incredibly helpful, and the rate was very, very reasonable. The facilities were clean, and the two additional hot showers (FREE) with a good size changing area were great.
We went to see the dolphins at Chanery point, which is only a short walk from the site, I unfortunately missed them, but I did see an inquisitive seal!
The co op is only a short walk from the site and sells a good range of provisions.
We will definitely stop here again, and we are in the process of booking a return visit. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

It's been a few years since we stayed at this site and it was lovely to be back.
The views are really spectacular, and it is just so peaceful and tranquil.
The site has just been taken over, the couple running it are friendly and helpful. They were able to give us some local recommendations too.
Although the toilet blocks are still the same, they are very clean, and there is a new unisex shower block which is excellent. There are two separate shower rooms - they have large spacious showers and plenty room to change, as a family of young kids, this was great for us!
The site is straight on to a pebble shore, perfect for skimming stones. Our boys loved it.
Fortrose is a lovely village with a lot of small, local businesses, there's a well stocked Co-op and a cash machine available too.
The site is excellent value for money, £20 includes electric and there was no additional charge for our kids or dog.
We'll definitely be back very soon!

We have been advised this site (formerly named Fortrose Caravan Park) is now under new ownership. We've been advised that the new owners plan to spend the winter making improvements to the site in order to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Beautiful situation with wonderful views over the Moray Firth £20 per night I think is a little excessive for the facilities provided whilst toilets & showers were reasonably clean the campsite seems a little run down, spent seven nights there the grass was not cut once and when it was last cut the grass was not collected. Hence we were continually fighting to keep our motorhome clean. On our last day there a fellow customer arrived and ended up cutting the grass himself, overall lovely location but could do with a bit of TLC and it would be a wonderful site.
