 3 separate fields, front row pitches on beach side are for smaller units mainly.
Facilities block are old fashioned but now fitted with digilocks.
Step access to beach, 10 min walk to Rosemarkie which has a community cafe near beach and a Crofters cafe nearby, also 1 pub and a Spar shop.
20 min walk to Chanory point to see if you can see the Dolphins. Fortrose is about 35 mins walk and has 2 bakeries a butchers plus a Co-op with parking and ATM.
A fresh fish van visits the site on a Friday.

Stopped here specifically for the chance of seeing dolphins and wasn’t disappointed we were lucky they put in an appearance even showing off one of their babies. That said the previous day they were a no show and no sign of them the following day either .
As for the site nothing seems to have changed from all the previous reviews, friendly helpful staff, tired facilities, odd sized pitches, great sea views, can be very windy etc.
None of this prevented us from enjoying our stay and we would be happy to return another time .

I last reviewed this site in July 2017 & I can honestly say that much of what I wrote then still applies in August 2025.
Staff are friendly & do a great job of keeping everything running but the facility blocks are too small & rather tired for the top-notch prices charged.
The shoreline pitches are very exposed to eastly winds. Ask for "Field 3" if you would rather something more sheltered. The wifi has improved and worked well for basic internet use.
Dogs: we were one of only a handful of pitches without dogs - one couple had four! Thankfully most were well behaved but once one started barking it did tend to set off all the others.
Otherwise, quiet at night except for a loud Saturday night party in Rosemarkie that was nothing to do with the campsite.
We saw the dolphins most days but sadly only once close to the shoreline.
For those "Parkrun tourists" amongst you, then we recommend Alness - maybe a 20 mile drive north to the Cromarty Firth.

We spent a great 8 days on this site. The views were stunning because it is right beside the sea, although obviously this can make it a bit breezy.
The field we were pitched in had a small toilet block which was kept clean and tidy. The shower was good, you could adjust the temperature and the height of the head, but there was only one each for ladies and gents.
We cycled every day, mainly on quiet, but hilly, roads. There are some forest tracks too, but these were unsuitable for our road bikes.
One day we took the bike to Cromarty on the car and then travelled on the Nigg ferry as foot passengers. Once there, we had a lovely day cycling up to the lighthouse via the seaboard villages.
Chanonry Point is only a mile away from the site via the beach. We walked up several times after low tide and were rewarded with close up views of the dolphins.

Stayed here for 4 nights as part of my Scottish trip.
Although the facilities were clean and tidy, with friendly and helpful staff as one would expect from a C&CC club site; and my pitch had a stunning view; I was not too keen on this site for the following reasons:
- My pitch was narrow, so narrow that I was not able to use my retractable canopy. Apparently I should have specified I would be bringing an awning in order to get a wider pitch. Lesson learnt in that I shall always specify I am bring an awning in future in order to get a wider pitch!
- There was a public footpath running right in front of the pitches on the campsite side of the hedges! And it was well-used.
The lack of privacy, along with a narrow pitch with my neighbours on one side who had pitched their van so that their habitation door was facing mine, and with two yappy dogs; it was not a pleasant stay for me until they left.
Dog walks were well-kept and suitable for prams and those with reduced mobility.
The beach was easily accessible and my dog loved it.
I wanted to stay at this campsite when I was up in Scotland in 2012 in a tent and decided against it for concerns of windy weather. However, it was relatively calm during my stay.
Glad I had stayed in this campsite for its stunning view of Moray Firth and the beach. However, it is unlikely I shall return for lacking in privacy unless I can get a wider pitch away from the public footpath.

There are a few things sub-optimal about this site, but let's start with the good point. It's a perfect location to be based, to walk along the shore to Chanonry Point and see dolphins in the wild, feeding and playing.
The site staff, on our arrival, gave us the tide times and recommendations as to the best time of day to see them. The advice was perfect. We saw many dolphins, several very close indeed to the shoreline, I would estimate 5 metres max. Some of them were doing complete leaps out of the water, twisting in the air and diving back in. This is more like a 40-minute walk rather than the 20-minute mentioned by a previous reviewer. Still, it's a nice, pleasant walk.
All the usual facilities are here, except grey water disposal (or, if they have it, we couldn't find it). The wifi is ok-ish. But as we travel around numerous UK campsites, we can see just what a difference some investment in new or upgraded facilities can make. Here, the Club needs to seriously upgrade the toilet block(s).
Beside being 'tired', there aren't enough facilities for the number of visitors, leading to queues. We had a seafront pitch but it was far from flat. We had to drive in quite far so as not to block the roadway behind, and then, even with the use of chocks, we couldn't level our vehicle.
Also - be warned (!), not the site's fault but if you do get a seafront pitch in rough and windy weather you're liable to get a splash coating of salt on your vehicle.
There are 2 nice beach cafés in Rosemarkie, an interesting Pictish museum and a couple of good, signposted walks, - but not much else. The next village - Fortrose - has a decent Coop and an old cathedral to visit.

Excellent location. Very friendly welcome from the Warden and shown to our pitch.
As it was our first time, the warden gave us plenty of top tips and information.
Site facilities are very clean. The site is right next to the beach and can be quite exposed so pitching a tent can be challenging!
The warden came round before we departed to check on our visit - we are booked in to coming back in a few weeks so we were shown round the site for alternative, more sheltered pitches.
All in all, a great campsite.

Excellent site and staff are very welcoming.
Highly recommend. Site is clean and tidy.
The nearby golf club do excellent meals.
On the day we arrived all the local restaurants were fully booked so booking in advance is recommended.

Although the site was very busy everything was spotless and it still felt as if you had plenty of space. The staff were the kindest and friendliest I have ever met.
The location is right on the beach front at Rosemarkie with lovely walks along the sands. You can watch dolphins at Chanonry Point which is a 20 minute walk down the beach or walk to the fossil beach and caves in the other direction.
There is also the walk up the RSPB Fairy Glen to the waterfall which is about a 6k round walk from the campsite. If you are a wild swimmer definitely a place to visit.
There are plenty of places to eat ranging from the community cafe to the Crofters and the golf course, and a fish van with fresh local fish also visits the site during the day.
