We have just spent a few days at this campsite. Our main reason being there was to see the dolphins off Chanonry Point. Our first visit to the point resulted in some great pics with some jumping together clean out of the water. The other visits were not so good as the dolphins were not so active.
This campsite is split into two sections by a minor road to the village that runs beside a beautiful sandy beach. We had a wonderful view overlooking the bay.
The toilets are kept very clean. The camp shop is only open for a short time morning and evening.
There is a good dog walk which runs the length of the site.
Our first visit to Rosemarkie, all pitches are grass and some were very well worn and muddy.
We had selected an electric hook up pitch which was located up at the end of the first site, although on the second row, it had excellent views across the bay.
Two small W/C and shower blocks, both spotless, wardens very friendy and helpful.
Well supplied site shop, local shop in the village with papers, large superstores in Inverness if you coming in from the A9.
This is a site you can really relax on, the sound of the waves, excellent bird watching and the last but not least, the dolphins.
I had my telescope with me and had some really good views of the dolphins.
Really nice site, will return for longer next time.
Superb - helped by the weather - 12 nights of wall to wall sunshine in Scotland can't be bad!
Although the facilities are not too numerous, and a little dated (site is owned by local council, so upgrading is difficult) they are kept in immaculate condition by the staff. They ensure you're sited sensibly, offsetting units at the water's edge and further inland to ensure everyone gets the best possible view of the Moray Firth. The dolphins were there twice a day every day, and although there is a public road at the site's edge, this doesn't create a noise problem, and overall, the site is a haven of peace - topped off with regular visits from the local dolphins which put on a twice daily show at the lighthouse! This was our third visit - and we'll be back again, despite it being 350 miles from home.
We have visited this site x2 this year in June and July with our large tent the first time and our small tent the second time as we were on a flying visit to go to the Scottish Open Golf on the other side of the Moray Firth.
Yes its an expensive site but not if you join the C&C club. Its a busy site but peaceful. We loved lying in our tent and hearing the water lapping on the pebbled shore.
With only one shower in one of the toilet blocks it can get busy. But would be quicker if ladies just showered in them and did a quick move to the wash cubicles to finalise their dressing and spraying activities!
Excellent local shops and pubs nearby.
Husband liked the golf course and practice area.
Did not go to see the dolphins. But when talking to some locals at the golf open they felt that since the point had been on the TV it had made it so well known that there was a chance that it may be spoilt.
When we were there in July, Fort George opposite shoreline was glowing in the setting sun and I thought it looked like a Moroccan citadel.
The views form the site are spectacular and the Moray Firth is beautiful.
The road going along the middle - which is a public road is still very quiet with traffic that generally goes to the slow speed limit.
Wardens very helpful when we were arriving and working out what size of pitch we need for our large tent and when we arrived slightly later - but we had phoned and let them know we were going to be late and estimated time of arrival.
Fantastic location right on the beach, don't be put off by the minor road running directly along the back of the site. Wonderful views and only a 20 minute walk along the beach to Chanonry Point where the dolphins show up as regular as clockwork - we saw them every time we went down and were treated to wonderful displays of their agility, truly breathtaking!
In the opposite direction along the beach we saw otters just off the shore.
There is a golf course adjacent to the site, we didn't play but they seemed to welcome non members.
The facilities are excellent, plenty of toilets, free hot showers and always spotlessly clean. There is a hair dryer in the ladies but there's a 20p charge for this. My husband thought the mens shower cubicles were on the small side.
The wardens are very efficient, but we didn't find them very personable when checking in.
Lovely community run beach cafe in Rosemarkie. Fantastic real ale pub in Fortrose (The Anderson) with the best burgers we've ever tasted. The external appearance belies the quality of the beer, food and friendliness of the owner and staff. Again this is within easy walking distance from the site; probably about half an hour.
Nice walk up the fairy glen to a couple of very pretty waterfalls.
We will definitely be back, it is a wonderful place.
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
Friendly wardens were very helpful when we arrived late and without a booking. Pitches were all grass but pretty level. Toilet blocks were clean and available ok with code. Weather was very windy but toilet block not too cold and showers were good and hot.
As suggested in earlier review the best time to see the dolphins is in the two hours immediately after low tide at the point. We were not disappointed.
You can see Fort George across the firth and it looks huge.
We travelled up to Cromarty next morning after watching the dolphins again for about an hour, and left the black isle via the northern coast road from Cromarty and it is worth seeing as it is right alongside the Cromarty Firth for quite a way with views across the firth to giant oil platforms and a visiting cruise liner with snow capped hills behind. What a contrast.
We will be back to the Rosemarkie site and as we are 'mature' C&CC members we get club rates at a concession so disagree with the earlier reviewer who suggested the site was expensive. It is not.
Road through site was quiet during our stay and silent through the night although I could see this still being a concern to parents of young kids
Right on the seafront on the Moray Firth, a lovely location and well known for Dolphins although we didn't see any on the two days we stayed. Not a child friendly site with signs saying for them to play in the park up the road. The small shop/reception sells fresh eggs. It was made quite clear to us by the Warden in reception that it was our fault for not seeing that the site had no drain facilities for motorhome's but being new to this we didn't realise, thankfully the man that showed us to our pitch took pity on us and opened a manhole.
The showers/toilets were warm and clean and had private cubicles for wash basins, the laundry/dishwashing facilities were also good. We ate Sunday lunch at Crofters Bistro a 10 minute walk along the seafront, very nice food and very friendly staff. There is a local Spar shop a 15 minute walk away and also a delicatessen. The pitches are all grass and after a lot of rain at the end of our stay we were stuck, there are no towing facilities and being a hire motorhome we had no gripper mats but thankfully the same kind man who opened the manhole helped us with wood and then pulled us out using his own car.
This site is best approached as directed in the hand book else you arrive facing the wrong direction to drive onto the site and take your pitch.
Very friendly helpful site managers, husband & wife team. We were given a choice of pitches as the site was not full. All pitches are grass, which is uneven, but the motor home was ok as the ground was very dry.
We understand this site is very busy in Summer and booking is essential.
The site is in two parts both long & thin one bordered by the sea on one side & a road on the other with a facilities block. The other part has its own facilities block and is on the other side of the road. The road does give some noise at night but not excessive.
The shower block is clean and modern but has no heating and during the coldest Easter on record was uncomfortably cold to use.
A short walk along the beach or road takes you to Chanonry Point. Where you go with the hope of seeing the Moray Firth dolphins. We were unlucky.
A walk in the other direction takes you into Rosemarkie which has a pub, deli, Spar shop and deli café. The deli sells fresh meat, pies, cheese and lots of lovely food. The pub is small but has a restaurant and sells meals.
On the beach is the Rosemarkie Beach Café. We had a delicious bowl of home made soup and scones for lunch. The café is open 7 days a week from end March to end October and weekends November & December 10. 30am to 3. 30pm. Well worth a visit.
Fortrose is within walking distance and has a Co-op store, bakery and pub.
The selling point of this camp site are the fanatic views out over the Moray Firth and towards Fort George.
£24. 80 for a two man tent, per night! Yep, that’s per night! Two adults with two dogs.
Is this the most expensive camp site in GB, it certainly is the most expensive we have ever paid by far. Needless to say we only stayed one night. We arrived at about 4:30pm after being on the road all day & left by 9:30am the next morning.
For that did we get a nice warm welcome, no. My partner said we had come to see the dolphins for which the reply was, well yes everyone comes here to do that.
The ground. It took twice as long to pitch our tent due to it being very rocky an inch or so under the soil & I have heavy duty pegs with a 3lb club hammer!
The facilities. Rather cramped & dated. Generally clean but not the best we have been to, about average really. The shower unit itself looks new but even on high power & full heat it was only really just past lukewarm in both gents and ladies. The mirrors in the gents for shaving, in both cubicles, are level with the sink due to the window so not much use for shaving or anything really.
A public road cuts the site in half. Half the site, 1 field & 1 facility block, which we did not go in, is next to residential housing. The other half of the site, over the road as it were, is where we stayed & that is just a long field as well so there really is nothing else here other than it is next the beach.
I know we have been critical of this site but for the very high price they charged I would expect at least a warm welcome with award winning grass, the best facilities I’ve ever seen & even a free swimming pool or something. It is just a basic site with average facilities and a public road running through the middle of it!
First time at this site. Wardens were very helpful as when we booked there was only a Jumbo pitch available and we have only a small motorhome. However on arrival we were given a discount due to our small van but still allocated the Jumbo pitch.
The site, as mentioned many times before, is right next to the beach with superb views across the Moray Firth to Fort George and beyond.
Facilities are good, although probably need updating.
Pitch was level and firm, with electric hook up and we can really have no complaints.
Our dogs, although quite old, still enjoyed the local walks.
The Deli in Rosemarkie itself is superb as is the chocolate shop in nearby Fortrose. The beach side cafe provides reasonable quality at an acceptable price. Overall, a very good site to which we will return.
