5 starsAutomatically translated. - Reni L.May 2022AdvantagesView good starting point for the NC500 nice little town Lidl directly opposite small restaurant directly on the squareNegativesoutdated sanitary facilitiesBeautifully situated, good starting point for the NC500Sanitary facilities are older and basic but clean.
Washing machine costs £3, dryer £2. Laundry lines are available.
The power supply and pitches have probably been upgraded since the last reviews here. You stand on gravel pitches with grass in front of the door. Electricity is available directly at the pitch.
The view is beautiful. There is a footpath along the coast past the campsite.Automatically translated. - Christel M.June 2016AdvantagesWell located with a beautiful view and good shopping facilities.NegativesPoor power supply, lots of cable clutterWell located starting point for the north coastSimple, but well maintained pitch. Sanitary facilities simple but clean. The power supply is a bit extensive, you need a lot of cable and it can happen that other campers drive over and onto the cable. However, there is a large Lidl supermarket directly in front of the site, which even has fresh bread and rolls on Sundays. Even wholemeal!Automatically translated.
- Steffen H.June 2015View of the Orkney IslandsThe campsite is located on the edge of the town of Thurso. It is easy to find. You stand in the meadow here, which can lead to wet feet when it rains. The rain forms puddles and unfortunately drains badly. The sanitary facilities are clean and are cleaned daily around lunchtime. The doors are secured... with a code lock as the site is not fenced. You can see the sea, the Orkney Islands and the Dunnt Head lighthouse (the most northerly point in Scotland) from every part of the campsite. There is a restaurant/café on the campsite. Unfortunately, meal times are limited. The town center can be reached on foot in 10 minutes. There are a few stores there, but they close early. There is a large supermarket across the road from the campsite. You can get everything you need here. The ferry to the islands is only a few minutes away. The campsite is therefore a good stopover.Automatically translated.
- Manfred K.June 2015AdvantagesGood shopping facilities for groceries. Close to the Orkney ferry.NegativesNone.Close to the town and Orkney ferryFlat, relatively unadorned but well-kept meadow area within walking distance of the center of Thurso. The town itself is not particularly attractive, although it does have a small pedestrian area. Nice view over the bay. Decent sanitary facilities. Restaurant on the pitch. New, large discount store in... the immediate vicinity with - if you come from the loneliness of the north - disturbingly low prices and a huge selection. Good stopover before the crossing to the Orkneys (Scrabster-Stromness).Automatically translated.
- SERGIO D.August 2014you eat at 6 o'clockCamping by the sea, spacious but with only 3 places on gravel the rest is on grass. Wifi included in price restaurant despite name closes at 8:30 pm.Automatically translated.
- Helmut S.June 2011Ideal starting point for tomorrow's crossing to Orknay, everyone stands where they want, there is plenty of space. The warden is only there for an hour in the morning, you have to look for electricity yourself, the atmosphere is a bit strange, but clean and acceptable.Automatically translated.
- toffa t.August 2010The campground is in a great location, right on the cliff. The sanitary facilities are functional but very poorly maintained and not very clean; you need a code to access them. The dish and pot cleaning room is closed at 8 p.m. and is not very clean.Automatically translated.
