 This was our second visit to this site. We were in the 2nd field this time and right at the back, so no view apart from a folding camper. I will try and get a pitch on the sea front next time as it wasn't very nice stuck at rear of the site.

The washing up and toilet block were right beside us, which was handy and loads of folk stopped to speak on their way past.

The site was full but the facilities were still spotless and the wardens friendly and helpful. They still made time to stop and chat when they were on their rounds.

We'll be back to this lovely site again and again I think !

Reviewer: Lisajk 22 reviews from this member

 A really nice site. Staff friendly, good views, quiet, clean facilities. We ate at the Crofters which was very good and the shop in the village had a great selection of deli stuff, meat and other fresh food including a fantastic range of cakes - don't bother shopping before you get here!

Two negative points - the advertised wifi doesn't reach to the second field (if that's important to you), and there aren't enough showers in the furthest toilet block - only one each male / female. Strangely however there were two private cubicles with sinks in. I really don't believe that many people these days will strip wash rather than shower, so why not remove one of the cubicles and put another shower in?

One other thing to bear in mind is that the Nigg ferry is not working at present - however there are no signs indicating that this is the case anywhere on the way to it (it is still advertised on the road signs) until you actually get to the quay. Nor is it clear from the ferry website that this is the case.

 Just spent a very enjoyable 8 nights at Rosemarkie & will definitely recommend this site to friends & family.

It's very clean & well looked after by the helpful, friendly wardens (even the dog walk is a pleasure to walk around; no mess in sight!)

Fabulous views and plenty of walks without having to use the car: to the lighthouse when tide is coming in to see the dolphins; around the coastline by path or beach, or into the woods to Fairy Glen to see the waterfalls.

Ate at The Crofters Restaurant & Bar & also at the local pub, The Plough, & can recommend both.

Local shop called Comfort Foods is also excellent.

Our section only had 1 male & 1 female shower but this didn't cause much of a problem whilst we were there.

Reviewer: The McCulloch Clan 1 review from this member

 We spent a week here with two young kids. The site is effectively on the beach so it was great for them who were most disappointed any time we left the site! It is a long linear level site with effectively two fields. Not all pitches are adjacent to the beach and in some places are three deep. Our pitch was at the end of the site and in the back row, but this was fine - we still had wonderful sea views of the Moray Firth.

The only drawback(primarily from the kids point of view) is that a minor public road runs through the site and there may be a safety concern - albeit most traffic is considerate and slows to a safe speed.

The wardens are extremely friendly and helpful showing us to a designated pitch (- we saw a few people moving -having consulted with the wardens- when preferred pitches became available).

The best thing was no need to use the car once we were there-we did the forest walk along the road from the site, good beach walks (also saw the dolphins), some family cycling available also. The local pub was fine (if a bit tired), the local shop was good value for money.

The toilets were more than adequate- very clean and well maintained (local forecasts and tide times for dolphin spotting placed on notice boards.)

There is a council run cafe within easy walking distance from the site with a nice sandy beach and play park - (no playpark on site but not an issue with the beach so close).

It was a most relaxing week (it was great going to sleep listening to the sound of the waves)and we certainly hope to return as we had great weather despite poor forecast - there appears to be a microclimate in this cove. Can highly recommend this site.

 A well located site with lovely clean facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Our pitch was right on the front and we watched the dolphins as we had breakfast both mornings.

The beach kept our 2 year old occupied - watching for boats and dolphins and finding unusual coloured stones, so a playground was not a necessity.

A great chip shop in Fortrose if you can't be bothered cooking and a lovely walk in the Fairy Glen at Rosemarkie.

We will definitely be back.

 Great location and very friendly site managers. The facilities were clean with hot showers. All you need!

We were told where and when to see the dolphins and they obliged dead on time - and just a short walk away.

We ate at the Eilean Dubh Restaurant and drank and ate at the Plough Inn. Both very good.

The free Pictish Museum was excellent.

There was also an interesting looking walk to a nearby wood & waterfall but we weren't able to fit this in. Next time perhaps.

Reviewer: Campingcaz 28 reviews from this member

 Very nice site next to pebbly/sandy beach with good facilities, though ladies block only has one shower on second field so no good if everyone tries to get one first thing in the morning. Staff are great and very helpful.

All pitches have good views as site is narrow and good spacing between units means it doesn't feel crowded. The first field is best for small children as they can access the beach directly from it whereas the second field has a road between site and beach which poses a danger to young ones.

Very dog friendly with bins provided near to beach; we never saw dog mess left around anywhere and everyone seemed to respect the beach as a place to keep clean. Interestingly there is a no-alcohol-zone on and around the beach and it wasn't used for BBQs or parties as it would spoil the beauty of the place. The dolphins were out a lot when we were there but not always in a predictable manner and not always close in, so, patience and a good pair of binoculars needed. They did come near to the point if the fish and tide drew them there which was lovely to see. There is a very good 2 hr trip out from Cromarty in a dinghy if you want to get a closer view which is well worth the money and they respect the dolphin's need for space.

Sea is very cold but nice for a quick dip; wetsuits recommended. No jetskis or noisy stuff around and there are no waves (in good weather) as it is such a sheltered bay .Rosemarkie has a decent shop and smart restaurant / takeaway and it is a good site to spend a quiet week at.

Reviewer: KAnderson 3 reviews from this member

 An small, but excellent site in my opinion with well spaced and laid out tent pitches. Staff were very welcoming, showing us to our pitch and keeping us right.

Toilet and washing facilities amongst the best I have encountered, although they could do with more showers. I was initially a bit disappointed with the lack of space in the showers (e.G. For changing), but realised that this actually worked quite well as most people, like myself, decanted to the 'washbowl' cubicles to change - freeing up the shower more quickly - meaning that despite the limited number, I rarely queued to get in. Still - could do with one or two more showers.

Local facilities include a rocky beach 100 yards away and a sandier beach less than half a mile away. Some nice places to eat locally - bistro half a mile away. Also a must see is the dolphins around 2 miles walk along the beach. Campsite staff gave us useful tips on best time to see these tide-wise.

Small, tired-looking playpark for the kids next to a beach cafe around 3/4 of a mile away.

Another thing to bear in mind is that the area seems to have a 'blessed micro-climate', we got significantly better weather than other parts of Scotland at the same time.

However, on the whole a big thumbs up - would definitely go back.

 Stayed here for two nights and cannot but agree with everything positive that has already been written about this site in previous posts. It is very good, great location, friendly site managers. Being such a great site you do need to book or risk disappointment. We stopped here the end of June phoning two days previous and getting the last available pitch. Were also lucky enough to see the dolphins off Chanonry Point both nights we went there.Also found The Plough Pub in the village very friendly, also dog friendly and serving two nice handpump local real ales. Would definitely return to this site.

 I travelled with both my wife and pet dog and only stayed the one night but we were impressed by this site, its location right on the coast is superb.

First of all, the couple who run the site were very friendly, welcoming and helpful during our stay.

As it was still early in the season (and cold!) the site wasn't full (in fact we were the only tent until joined later by one other). There were plenty of caravans and motorhomes though so the site wasn't empty.

There are two amenity blocks (with toilets, washbasins & showers) one at each end of the site and are kept very clean. They are closed for half an hour for cleaning every day but are also checked in between and cleaned if necessary.

The site overlooks the beach on the Moray Firth and it provides a good walk (our dog loved it!). We walked along the beach to Chanonry Point to watch the dolphins that appear when the tide changes. We also found a good walk inland called Fairy Glen which is great for spotting wildlife.

Within walking distance of the site is a Bistro, a restaurant, a pub and several shops. There is also a shop on the site for the basics.

We appreciated the dog walk on the site which is very handy if you just need to let the dog have a quick wee!

I can't comment on the child friendliness of the site but I would think it may be a bit quiet for them. There weren't any children in evidence while we were there.

I suppose if I had to be negative then it would be about the price. As it's a C&CC site then it charges extra if you're not a member and this makes the price £22 p/n for 2 adults. If you're a member then the cost is £16, much more reasonable. Having said that, I think it worth it to get first-class facilities.
