Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (super)

Liked: Lovely clean site, swim hole. Only a cycle ride to town and attractions.

Disliked: Showers not working in both male/female first two days of season. However opened 1 disabled shower to help with this on the second day.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review. however the point about the showers not working is not true we did have problems with the showers but the only time we closed the ladies was to fix the broken one and asked people to use the disabled shower, There was always at least one working shower in each block apart from when we were working in the ladies block.

Would stay again.

Local attractions

Historical hotspots are rife in this part of Scotland – hike to Cawdor Castle and Gardens in an hour and a half, then travel to Culloden Battlefield visitor centre and interactive exhibition (15 minutes' drive) to see the setting of the famed Jacobite Rising’s last battle. The 18th-century Fort George is about the same distance for gazing at an awe-inspiring selection of arms, including muskets, pikes and ammunition pouches. More places to poke around in the past – from museums to castles – are in Inverness (25 minutes), which is also the gateway to Loch Ness (45 minutes). Drive or dawdle along the banks while trying to catch a glimpse of the fabled monster, stopping by the ruins of Castle Urquhart (55 minutes) for pretty pics with the water in the background. To get out on the water, dolphin spotting and sea fishing tours leave from Inverness and sail through the Moray Firth, while the northern edges of the Cairngorms National Park are around 40 minutes away for terrific treks in this classic Scottish landscape. Head deeper into the area for the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre (an hour away), then round off the trip with a tour and tasting of some of Scotland’s finest whisky at the Knockando distillery (55 minutes).
