 Just stayed 1 night as doing the NC500 route, arrived about 2pm, didn't like our pitch no. 25 only for the simple reason our 25m EHU cable wouldn't reach the box, went to reception to see what we could do about it & if they possibly had some sort of extension, the young lad in reception said "oh we have problems with that pitch" he went off to seek advice only to return with another guy (probably in his 30's) who greeted me (rather abruptly I thought) with the words "what's the problem?" anyway upshot was to plug into no. 23's box, my sister was already plugged into no. 24, was a bit worried if someone was going to turn up later on 23 & unplug us.

Lots of rabbits running around on the site which was nice to see, don't know if that's why there were so many flies plaguing us at one point, seemed to settle down once I gave the motorhome outside & in a good spray with insect repellent!

Pitches are a good size,

Only a short walk into town along the riverbank, found the world's smallest street Ebenezer Place, Bank Row is interesting to walk down & see the engraved flagstones & read about the history, shame the town centre seemed to have quite a few empty units & was surprised how few boats were in the harbour.

Had dinner at The Norseman Hotel, lovely, friendly staff & great food. Next morning visited Sinclair castle just outside Wick, was well worth the visit, didn't see the Orcas, that someone told us had been spotted in that area earlier that morning though.

 Gorgeous little campsite right on the river and only a very stroll from the centre of Wick.

I stayed here while walking the John O'Groats trail. And it was ideal, only a few hundred metres off trail and the hot showers were perfect!

Staff were really lovely and helpful.

 Chilled, relaxed campsite, fitted our rather large unit in.

Clear that they are working hard to modernise the site and getting better by the day.

East walking distance to Wick.

 Beautiful site overlooking the river with a nice Riverside walk, walking distance to town,

All the money we pay to camp is put back into improving the village and the site, a none profit organization, new BBQ and eating area, and kids park, there is also As a bigger park next to the site on one of the roads into the site next to the river,

Extremely well kept grounds,

We were greeted with a warm welcome with helpful staff thank you,

Perfect location.

 Good location, shower block is being updated but still hot and clean facilities.

Walking distance to town where you can get a meal or have a drink.

Recommended a trip to The Old Pulteney Distillery.

 Stayed here for a night in June 2023 travelling with my dad and 2 brothers from Essex doing the NC 500 lovely setting next to the river and very short walk into town

We had a motorhome and very easy directions for the alternative route Into campsite due to the low bridge

The site was very clean and very tidy - nice cut grass and pitches were very clean and smooth

One thing we had all agreed on was how amazing the pressure was in the showers (Brother actually said best shower he's ever had)

Was nice and quiet around with the sound of wildlife to keep you company

Would 100 percent recommend and stay here again

Reviewer: Dawnnic 1 review from this member

 This site was beautiful. The grounds were kept immaculate and there were even bunnies running around everywhere.

The warden was so helpful and gave us information about pubs etc.

The toilets and showers were very clean and the shower was so powerful! I’ve read reviews stating they need updating but please don’t let that put you off.

It’s such a wonderful site and we will definitely be back.

Thank you for a lovely stay! Steve and Dawn.

 What a great wee site!

The two staff who were on that day were very helpful.

Toilets were clean and tidy.

Site was nice and quiet and close to shops etc.

Plenty of space to pitch up and not near anyone.

Thank you.

 Great site. Stopped here for one night whilst doing the NC500.

Staff were courteous and helpful as I was unsure about my electric hook up as it was our first time out in a campervan.

Toilet and shower facilities were also good!

Everyone pitched a decent space apart.

Would recommend.

 Great that this campsite is being ran by the community.

The staff/volunteers were friendly and helpful. As they explain, they will refurb the toilet & shower block soon but they are fine currently.

Nice to be right by the river
