 Excellent location in centre of Wick. Friendly staff.

Dated shower block needs updating and enlarging for when site is busy (which I believe is happening soon).

 This is a lovely site and located just next to a park and river. It is well kept, good pitches and the facilities very clean.

The staff are great (very helpful and altered our booking without any problem because we couldn't make the original one) and it's so good that the site is putting something back into Wick.

The town itself is possibly a little tired so anything that helps is good.

If you need a place to stop over, it's a great little site and you're supporting a good cause.

Reviewer: Dexys Midnight Run 1 review from this member

 Nice site close to the river and within an easy walk into the town.

The facilities are a little tired but I know they have plans to update them. It's a clean and tidy site.

Wick itself seems to be looking a little past its best. The Wick Heritage Centre is absolutely fascinating and like a tardis inside, full of history and well worth a visit.

We'd happily stay there again as part of the NC500 tour.

The Tesco on the way out is a good place to stock up again before continuing on your journey.

Reviewer: EmilyMoo 1 review from this member

 Very friendly and helpful staff. My daughter loved the play park on site and another by the river.

Nice and quiet and great location for walks along the river.

Easy to walk into town and visit local shops. Lovely walk to the harbour and fantastic heritage museum.

Showers were hot and powerful, although dated and with rather narrow cubicles.

Clean and tidy site. Facilities need updating.

 Good pitch in a great community campsite.

Facilities dated but very clean. Hot showers so that goes a long way.

Options for pitches as a few available.

Good info from staff.

Next to a good walk into Wick itself.

 A lovely flat campsite by a beautiful river. A great reception, given a leaflet of guidelines, pitches clearly marked.

Facilities a bit dated but very clean.

A stroll into Wick. Had drink at the main pub, wished we had eaten there, great prices and the food looked good!

Would def stay there again, great to know the community has bought it, and it’s a great asset to the town!

 Location was great, nice and quiet,

Very clean facilities and friendly people.

Not too busy either.

Not much going on in Wick though, sadly, eating out options very limited.

Reviewer: Julie Bhatti 1 review from this member

 This is an absolute gem of a campsite, so friendly and helpful with a wonderful ethos. I love that it is community-owned and proceeds go to funding local community projects.

I stayed for 3 nights in April, a perfect base for walking sections of the beautiful John O'Groats coastal path, swimming at the North Baths and Reiss Beach, exploring Wick's harbour and history and wandering along the Wick River at sunset.

The campsite is in an ideal, peaceful location and only a 10 minute walk into town along the river.

I've already persuaded my sea swimming friends that we need a camping and swimming trip to Wick this summer and the Wick River Campsite will be the perfect base for us.

The only thing I would recommend is that it would be good to have a drying room on site.

 Super campsite. Well maintained. Beautiful location.

Very warm welcome.

Handy for the town- just a 10 minute walk alongside the river. Great fish and chip shop on the harbour!

Lovely walks for dogs straight from the site. Super showers! Ideal stop on NC 500.

We did a tour of Old Pulteney distillery just before we arrived which was also superb. 10 minute walk from campsite though.

Reviewer: Natalie60 2 reviews from this member

 Stayed for 1 night with a 4x4 and rooftop tent.

The site was relatively quiet so we were given the option of a few pitches and chose one with a view to the river.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The site was well-maintained and clean. The toilet and shower block were good however my shower ran cold, my partners ran warm so unsure if this was specific to the shower I used.

The town is within walking distance with plenty of shops.

Would stay again and would recommend it.

Reviewer: StefEverill 1 review from this member

 A fantastic site! Excellent grounds/facilities. Beautiful location. Helpful and informative staff.

Aware that the shower block is 'a work in progress', however it was clean and there was plentiful hot water. Not much more to ask for really.

We look forward to visiting again.

Many thanks!
