Date of Visit: July 2012 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Arrachogaidh 15 reviews from this member

 Arrived here in 27ft vehicle which seemed to cause a stir.

Wanted to move us away from reception quickly and in process although we paid we didn't get the necessary codes for use of showers etc.

Site was nice though but what made it special was the beach and walking out to see the dolphins at Chanonry Point.

Very pricey and considering we didn't get access to the facilities was disappointed.

Yes, of course we should have gone and asked, but we had everything on board anyway.

Mind you, would have been nice to get a shower in the morning.

Reviewer: Andrea D 1 review from this member

 Have just returned from an amazing fortnight on this site. Weather wasn't brilliant but better than elsewhere in country

saw dolphins most days either by going along to chanory point about a mile along the beach or through binoculars from our tent. Amazing! also had a visiting seal right opposite the tent most mornings. Brill.

Site centrally located so were able to drive to Isle of Skye and Orkney, long days but well worth it.

Comforts deli in Rosemarkie is well recommended, the butcher couldn't be more helpful and is now also open 10-2 on a sunday, crofters bistro on the seafront is also a must visit, excellent service, large portions and well price.

Facilities on site a bit tired but always clean, good shower, and the view made up for it. Definitely recommend. 


Date of Visit: May 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Garioch 2 reviews from this member

 Stayed here on the May holiday weekend. Great location with an uninterrupted view out to sea from the caravan, just feet from the beach. The beach itself is quite stoney with small patches of sand but kept a 5 year old amused despite the erratic unseasonally cold May weather (sunny one minute - hailstones the next!).

Toilets were clean although a heater would have been nice in this weather. Site was well kept and wardens friendly & helpful. Our car wouldn't start when leaving but crisis averted by using the caravan battery and jump leads borrowed from the warden.

Rosemarkie is just a short walk and has a lovely community run cafe on the beach with a play park and good sandy beach. Another short walk in the opposite direction takes you to Chanonry Point where you can see the dolphins, aim for 2 hours after low tide and you are almost guaranteed to see them.

We wanted to re-book for the jubilee weekend but unfortunately there was no room.

 Lovely site although it can be a bit windy as it is coastal. Friendly helpful staff,toilet and showers very clean.Limited hook up points.Good walks nice safe beach very clean dog walking area.

Only drawbacks no children's play area although beach very close to caravans and there is a small play park outside the beach cafe approx 5-10mins walk along the beach front. Chance to see dolphins and occasional otter.There is a road that runs between the two camping area's that could be a hazard for small children,but all in all very nicely run site.

Little expensive for the size of the site. Nice site for dogs.We would definitely return.

 This site is in an idyllic location right by the sea - we didn't manage to get a pitch in the front line closest to the beach, but because the pitches are staggered we still had a lovely sea view. We had electric hook up, and for a small site the motor home service point was of a very good standard, and access was easy. The site is immaculate, the staff are really friendly and helpful and the site seems well drained as although we were on grass and there had been rain the pitch was good and firm. The site wasn't full when we were there so there was no competition for the shower, I can imagine it would be busy at peak times. The shower had really good water pressure and adjustable temperature and the facilities were perfectly clean.

A local road cuts the site in two so care has to be taken when crossing to get to the beach, but we had no noise problems - the boy racers previously mentioned in another review obviously stayed at home for the two night we were at this site!

I would happily stay at this site again and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed the beach - what luxury to have a beach literally one minute's walk from our pitch!

 Good location and views, well worth a walk to Chanonry point where it is quite common to see dolphins at play. Only draw back is the road seems to be used by young racers in the evening with their souped up vehicles with minimal silencers and early morning commuters heading for work. To baffle the noise with vegetation would ruin the views.

Toilet blocks fairly basic, water flow from shower was more like a mist than a downpour.

Price is high compared with others with better more modern facilities.

Not all pitches have power connection.

Staff helpful and friendly. 


Date of Visit: October 2010 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Leedyson 3 reviews from this member

 Spent a single night, at the beginning of October, so getting very late in the season.

We're not members of the camping & caravan club, so paid a slightly dearer (but still good value) £25 for camper & hook-up (2 adults + beagle).

Site is well situated, right on the shore of the Moray Firth, 10 minutes walk from the dolphins at Chanory point. We went at high-tide and the Dolphins turned up on queue.

We had a sea-view pitch in the furthest field, fantastic view, and close to the toilets + showers. Toliets were warm and spotlessly clean. As others have commented, only 1 shower in this block, but at this time of year, the site was pretty quiet, so no queue for the shower.

Warden on his bicycle was extremely helpful. Helped me park the camper to ensure best view and level.

Will definitely use this site again, though I suspect it will be VERY busy in high-season. 


Date of Visit: September 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Nht2010 6 reviews from this member

 We visited this site twice, in July and September 2010. The first time was showery, the second constant pouring rain! (not much fun, but that's Scotland for you). Both times the warden was very friendly and helpful, and the facilities spotlessly clean - he cycles round checking all the blocks frequently.

We were in the 'near' field, which has amenities blocks with 3 toilets/3 washrooms/2 showers in each of ladies and gents, plus a separate room for dishwash/laundry (3 sinks, one low for wheelchair users). While we were there there were no queues.

Location is absolutely gorgeous - the pitches look out on to a shingle beach, so you can wake up to the sound of the waves lapping. There are usually dolphins to be seen at nearby Chanonry Point and sometimes from the campsite itself.

Only slight negative is that a lot of the pitches are rocky in places. The warden did offer to sell us rock pegs, but we managed to make do. During heavy rain the ground got a bit waterlogged, though not as bad as some sites.

Will definitely return (in nicer weather.) 


Date of Visit: August 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Hazelandstuart 1 review from this member

 Just back from 3 nights at this site. Good location - just a few mins walk to Rosemarkie itself which has a deli, Spar and pub (the Plough Inn).

Fortrose is also walkable, just up the hill which has a chip shop and Co-op. Just across a quiet road to the beach, about a 20 mins walk along the beach to the lighthouse and the dolphins. We only really dealt with one warden but he was really helpful and always waved as he headed past on his bike.

Our pitch wasn't great as it was right outside the toilet/washing block so there was quite a bit of noise but the site looked full and we had booked with electric which obviously limited the choices. Also there was only one shower in the block which did mean having to queue even though our area was almost all caravans.

It rained constantly the last night but the ground held up very well. Plenty of things to do in the surrounding area, we visited Inverness, Fort George, Dornoch and of course the Black Isle Brewery. Will visit again but will probably phone directly and be more choosy about which pitch we get.

Reviewer: JayJ1 4 reviews from this member

 This site is a great location being right next to a quiet yet beautiful beach. The campsite is about a metre above the beach so if you get camped next to it you can look out over the sea all night. There are lots of really nice walks in the area and you can walk to the pub and get a meal along the beach in 5mins. The owners were really helpful and nice and facilities clean. The only negative things I can really think of is that it was a little expensive as caravan club sites often are and that there isn't a park or anything if you have children (which we don't)
