  • Small, friendly CAMC members-only site three miles from Thurso
  • Orkney ferries 15 minutes' drive; half an hour to John o' Groats
  • Easy access from the A9, part of the NC500 route; dogs welcome
Coming to the Caithness countryside as part of a road trip on the NC500 – or setting down roots for a few days to explore this lovely part of the world more deeply? Either way, Caithness Caravan Park Certificated Location makes a fabulous base for those in possession of Caravan and motorhome Club membership. This CAMC members-only is just a mile away from the A9, which forms part of the NC500 route, so t's a handy spot indeed for a stopover. The site is in a rural location, but it's only about 10 minutes' drive from the seaside towns of Castletown and Thurso (the latter being your best bet locally for shops and places to eat). It's a handy base for exploring the very north of Scotland – John o’ Groats is about half an hour's drive away, and ferries to Orkney leave from several nearby harbours including Scrabster (15 minutes' drive). Everything on site has been set up to make life nice and easy for guests – pitches are spacious and fairly level, and each one has and individual electric and water connections. Shared facilities include fresh water, grey water and chemical disposal areas, and although there's no wifi, the mobile signal is generally pretty good. It's a small and friendly site that welcomes kids and dogs. It’s not just human and dog visitors that enjoy visiting this place – it’s also a bit of a wildlife haven, where you may spot rabbits, roe deer and foxes as well as birds like owls, red kites, sea eagles and kestrels.
