Date of Visit: April 2009 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: THERESA KERR 10 reviews from this member

 On arrival, we were met by two very friendly wardens. Throughout our stay the Wardens always went out of their way to wave and say hello.

The site is in an excellent position overlooking half moon bay and right next door to a golf course. From every pitch, the views are stunning, out to sea and surrounding coast line. The toilet facilities are also excellent and to the usual Camping and Caravan Club standards. The small town of Rosemarkie is in walking distance. There is licensed Bistro which does excellent food and is open in the evenings and is five minutes walk from the site. A Spar shop is in Rosemarkie.

Unfortunately, we did not see the dolphins when we were there, but the warden did mention they were sighted the week before.

We have nothing negative to say about this site. The weather was not great when we visited but there are loads of places to visit nearby including Inverness and good walks round about, which will keep you occupied.

 Excellent site. Lovely and clean toilets and showers. Site was quite busy but still quiet.

Wardens are friendly and helpful.

Great place to see the dolphins just along the beach at lighthouse ten minute walk away, great to see them so close to the shore throwing salmon up in the air, good time of year to see them do this. Local chip shop is well worth a visit too great food. Would definitely visit again.

 An excellent site spot for all ages. Kids loved the freedom whilst dogs loved the water! Such a lot to see whether on foot or cycling. Nearby shops. Toilet facilities absolutely A1. Spotless doesn't even touch on describing them. Laundry facilities excellent. Beach Cafe was just opening for season so walked along to the caves and then stopped for coffee and ice creams. Had a meal out one evening at the restaurant on the front (can't remember what it was called) - again excellent. May think about going back in October school holidays - weather dependent!

 Our first camping expedition and we couldn't have picked a better place!

Owners very helpful - allowed me to arrive early with no extra charge.

Pitch locations marked with good distances between. A dog walk along the back of the site - great for that last wee (dog - not me!)

Showers hot and all facilities spotlessly clean. Hairdryer fixed in toilet block (costs 20p but lead is very short).

Shops and facilities in Rosemarkie and Fortfose great - fish and chips best i've tasted.

Saw dolphins every day (from the lighthouse at Chanonry Point) it's best to go on a rising tide we went 1hr before high tide and had a 100% success rate.

The Black Isle is a wonderful destination with lots to do and see and with easy access to Inverness, you should be able to please everyone.

This site was so good that we went back a week later and look forward to going again soon. Enjoy!

 Friendly staff, good pitches staggered to give sea views, but front pitches are not hookup, understandable when you see how close the Moray Firth is to your pitch. Toilets and showers immaculate.
Village shops to north are a waste of space. Site takes a bit of finding if your a thicko like me. Loads of dolphins. For me and her indoors, great site (Dunno about sprog facilities) Will visit again.

 Stayed here for two nights in July, on our Scotland tour.

The campsite could not be better situated, 5 mins walk from Rosemarkie and 10 mins walk from Fortrose, so plenty of shops and pubs close by.

Our tent pitch was about 10ft from the pebble beach, overlooking the stunning views of the Moray Firth.

Don't forget to take your binoculars and spend a little time dolphin watching.

The site is very clean and very well maintained, as are the toilet blocks.

I have only 3 very small negatives about this site:-

1, More showers would be nice, as they can get very busy at peak times.

2, Take a big hammer and some good quality pegs as the ground is very stony and I'm sure it can get very windy at times.

3, It’s not cheap! (but worth every penny in my book).

A real gem of a site this one, with stunning views. The highlights are the Dolphins, peace and quite and the sound of the waves to rock you off to sleep at night.

We can't wait to return.

Reviewer: Borley 4 reviews from this member

 Stayed for five nights in August. Site is divided into two areas and we were offered a choice of pitches in the area furthest away from the reception. Pitch fantastic, only yards away from the beach. Small road runs through the campsite, which could be a problem if you have young children but very quiet and most drive slowly along it.

Only one shower in the ladies block in our area, which also seemed to have a slight problem with slow drainage, so walked to larger block in other area, which was nicer and cleaner anyway.

Most people appeared to stay for quite a long time at this site, so unusually had to queue for washing machine and tumble dryer. Dishwashing sinks in our area right next to ladies door, husband said quite off-putting for people to have to squeeze past to use showers etc.

There is no children's play area, but no need as beach is so close to all pitches. Saw dolphins several times at Chanonry Point, 10mins stroll along beach.

Lots to do in surrounding area, and would definitely visit again if just for view from pitch and dolphins.

 The gents' shower block is probably the smallest you'll meet anywhere.
 
That's the only negative bit out the way. The rest is all upbeat and positive. The shower blocks were pristine and kept so by the wardens - who we found friendly, helpful and enthusiastic.They even seemed to be able to keep one step ahead of the children.
 
Location cannot be bettered. Where else can you dolphin watch from beside your own 'van, yet be a few minutes from two good food pubs, 2 general stores, and a Chinese take-away? The site itself strings along the shores of the Moray Firth - as far as we could see every pitch has a view of the sea. Some have hook-up; some don't. Some are level; some aren't quite so, but nothing a set of chocks couldn't cure.
 
Mobile signals (Voda and Orange) are good. TV not bad.
 
If you're going to the Black Isle, look up at the field to the east of Rosemarkie. Has the Pictish symbol being cut into the grass been finished yet?
 
A beautiful site. We hope to be back soon.

 Lovely site. Views stunning (weather permitting) and proximity to the beach is great if you have kids although the road through is a slight concern.
 
Facilities clean and tidy, as you'd expect. As for the lack of showers. I wouldn't let an occasional 5 minute wait for a shower spoil my holiday or dictate my choice of site! I understand why the loos have the keypad entry systems but it can be a pain if you have kids of an age who can take themselves to the toilet but can't remember a code and/or push the buttons in the right sequence.
 
Wardens generally good although we found one of them to have a very up and down mood!
 
It is stony for pegs but beach site often are. A bit of perseverance with a mallet did the job and to be honest you only put your pegs in once, not every day!
 
All in all 8/10

Reviewer: Les4paintings 5 reviews from this member

 On a recent three weeks tour of Scotland we came across a terrific little site right on the banks of the Moray Firth where you could walk just 100 metres along the beach and see wild dolphins at play in the waters.  The site was a Camping and Caravan Club site but welcomed all comers.  It was called the 'Rosemarkie' and was situated just off the A9 about five miles north of Inverness.
The site wardens were exceptionally helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble.  Toilets and showers were exceptionally clean and the wardens enthusiasm showed in the little things (like proper toilet paper, and fresh soap daily plus flowers in the ladies washroom).or so I'm told by my wife. Grass was cut on a daily basis as was the dog walk.
The front row of pitches were no more than a few metres from the shingle beach and you could hear the sea lapping all night long. A really restful sound.
Rosemarkie village its self was a sleepy little place with a licenced grocer, a butcher and a 'Spa' store for all your daily requirements.or, a couple of miles in the other direction was the small hamlet of Fortrose where there was a really friendly Coop  store that stocked almost everything that you could need.
Peace and quiet with the gentle lapping of the sea is the main attraction of this site apart from the helpful and friendly wardens, but at less than £10.00 per night including awning and electric hook-up I consider this a good site to visit if you are touring the Highlands of Scotland.
