  • Well-maintained site in the grounds of a golf club on the Moray Firth
  • Fochabers 10 minutes’ drive; Glenfiddich Distillery half an hour
  • Access to the golf course; dogs welcome; firepit and picnic tables
What’s not to like about Spey Bay Golf Club? It’s an impeccably maintained site in the grounds of a golf club. More than that: it sits right on the coast of the Moray Firth in northern Scotland. Want to crank this all the way up to 11? This coastline is famed for sightings of bottlenose dolphins. (By the way, if you want to learn more about these watery visitors, head to the WDC Scottish Dolphin Centre, a 10 minutes’ walk away.) In other words, there’s something here for everybody, not just the golf-obsessed in your midst – though they will certainly get a lot out of being on site, with a gorgeous 18-hole course where they can practise their swing and work towards reducing their handicap. Mind you, they might get distracted by the spectacular views of the firth and return home no better at golf than when they left… Meanwhile, non-golfing people might take the dog on a long, energising walk on Spey Bay beach (10 minutes’ walk), scramble up to Binn Hill viewpoint (20 minutes’ drive) for far-reaching coastal views, or take it a bit easier and sample the home-made gin at the bar. The firepit area comes with picnic tables and views of the sea. If you don’t fancy firing up the barbecue – which implies having to source provisions, though that’s easily done at Fochabers (10 minutes) – there’s a restaurant on site.

What customers say

This neat, quiet park has a great seaside spot, with lovely views and a pebble beach nearby – perfect for spotting dolphins. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Toilets and showers are usually clean and modern, though a few folks mentioned some old bits or drainage issues. The on-site bar serves food and drinks, but closing early disappointed some. Great walking and cycling nearby.

Liked Friendly and welcoming staff. Combined with the golf club and attended from 8.30 to 4.30, they could not have been more helpful. Cooked breakfast and snacks throughout the day. Toilets, showers, laundry available 24 hours - very clean.Good walks available - pebbly beach and inland on Speyside Way. Quiet and restful.

Disliked Nothing really.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Quiet spot in a great location for exploring the Moray Coast. We stayed for 2 weeks. Flat level gravel pitches or grass optional. Nice welcoming dog-friendly clubhouse on site for breakfast rolls or a lunchtime drink and toasties. Lovely walks nearby by the river. Toilet/shower facilities and MH service point basic but adequate

Disliked Be prepared for some windy weather. Toilet and Shower Facilities are dated and need some TLC. Would have preferred to have a mop or squeegee available for people to clean up after they have a shower as seems to be the norm elsewhere

Liked The hard standing was a. Large area with water and hook up.
If your a golfer then you'd enjoy the green on your doorstep.

Disliked The whole area for camping is basically a carpark, very exposed to the wind with views over someone's garden one direction or a row of houses the other. The toilet block had broken toilet seats X2 also stained looked disgusting.
The showers I couldn't bring myself to use as full of mould on the silicone and no cover for the drain. Not up to a standard I was expecting.
The club house closes by 4.30 so no evening food or drinks available and because of the remote locations this was really disappointing. My visit was at a weekend and the club house still closed that early. Such a waste of a facility, sure the locals would like somewhere to go on a weekend eve ING as well.

Local attractions

Elgin (20 minutes’ drive) is home to the remains of a 13th-century cathedral on the banks of the River Lossie. Next door to the well-preserved ruins is the Biblical Garden, featuring more than 100 plants that are mentioned in the Bible. Meanwhile, the Moray Motor Museum displays a collection of vintage vehicles. The immersive 4D experience at the Speyside Cooperage Visitor Centre (25 minutes) takes you through the various stages of the art of making casks. You can then move on to the viewing gallery to see craftsmen as they create barrels for the whisky industry. Established in 1886, Glenfiddich Distillery (half an hour), on the outskirts of Dufftown, is one of the oldest family-owned distilleries in Scotland. Tours of the facility range from a basic 90-minute introduction to a full four-hour experience, which includes a visit to the cooperage and a guided tasting of single malts.
