  • Quiet caravan park close to the A9 in scenic Glen Glass
  • Half an hour’s drive from dolphin spotting at Chanonry Point
  • Full facilities and shop; five minutes’ walk to the pub in Evanton
Located in the sleepy village of Evanton in spectacular Glen Glass, Black Rock Caravan and Camping Park is so peaceful it feels like the middle of nowhere – but actually it’s really easy to access, being under five minutes’ drive from the A9 main route between Perth and Thurso, and only half an hour from lively Inverness. There's no need to travel very far to stock up on essentials though, as the park has its own shop, open daily, and there’s a small shop in Evanton too. If you prefer not to cook every night on your holiday, the village pub serves tasty dishes like burgers or fish and chips. Both pub and shop are five minutes' walk away. For peaceful times outside of the site, there’s loch and river fishing nearby (you’ll need a permit), as well as many, many hiking trails in untamed Highland countryside. Loch Ness, Glen Affric and the dolphin-spotting hub at Chanonry Point are all within easy reach for more outdoor adventures. And the practicalities? The park has disabled facilities, hot showers, baby-changing amenities and a launderette to keep everyone smart and shipshape, plus ice-pack freezers to keep your foodstuffs fresh. There is also pay-as-you-go wifi on the park.

Beautiful riverside location with woodland access. Top-notch, private washrooms. Friendly, helpful staff. Conveniently near a pub & shop. Minor Wi-Fi limits mentioned, but guests loved it and want to return.

Andrew M.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked One of the very best sites I’ve stayed at - excellent facilities and the staff are so welcoming. Combined shower/toilet blocks are superb and very warm. Great walks nearby and really good pub just a short walk away where the food is excellent. Pitches brilliant and all elec/water at the pitch.

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Hi Andrew thank you so much for your review i dont often respond to reviews as they usually speak for themselves. However I did note that you stayed at the same time as somebody that scored us a 5 saying that ""The tight packed pitches with liite extra space. Also a really narrow road between pitch rows giving little or no privacy."". sometimes you feel as you cant please everybody all of the time. It was great to host both of you haste ye back

Black Rock Caravan and Camping Park cancellation policy
No refunds within 3 weeks of arrival date.

No refunds/discounts for inclement weather, late arrivals or early departures.

The site is not liable for any refund in the event of force majeure.""

Since you have just rang to chase your refund (which can actually take up to 5 days) whilst I was entering this comment when you conceded that you were going to remove the review (which Ive confirmed that I am happy for the review to stay) as sometimes its good to see a poor review and the subsequent feedback to the reviewer so that everyone can see both sides of the story. Furthermore I have checked and your deposit reimbursed to you the day after you left!

In terms of parking you are able to park within 10 metres of the camping pods to facilitate the unloading/loading of any bedding and or equipment from your vehicle. You then have to drive to the pod parking area which is less than 50 metres away! I can only apologise that you had to walk in the rain but we are situated in Scotland so rain at some point is inevitable.

Great

Liked Absolutely lovely place , we have a daughter with hidden disabilities and asked for a pitch close to the toilets if possible . When we arrived we were given a pitch just opposite which was perfect . Toilets and showers were very clean and warm . Well maintained site , lovely walks and walking distance to village .

Disliked Had to drive around a bit longer as check in was later than others with being 3pm but that just us

Local attractions

If you’re into exploring out and about on foot, start off with an easy hike to Black Rock Gorge (five minutes’ walk), or take the longer trail around Loch Glass (25 minutes’ drive) to the well-known Insta spot and solitary pink house at Culzie Lodge. The hour’s drive up to the top of Glen Affric brings rewards in the form of spectacular walking alongside lochs and rivers. You might like to spend a day exploring Loch Ness (40 minutes), perhaps the most famous section of water in Scotland. Board a cruiser in Fort Augustus (an hour and 10 minutes) to look out for the famous monster, or read up all about Nessie in the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition in Drumnadrochit. Drop by Urquhart Castle (both 45 minutes) to see the Giant Tower, prison cells and dramatic loch views, or go wild swimming off the shingle beach at Dores (40 minutes). End the day in one of the many pubs or restaurants in buzzy Inverness (half an hour). Kids with you? Challenge them to paintball and archery at Wildwoodz Adventure Park Inverness (15 minutes), or take them dolphin spotting at Chanonry Point (half an hour) – be sure to look up tide times as the dolphins follow the tide up Cromarty Firth.
