About the site
This scenic park is surrounded by 20 acres of sheltered and tranquil parkland looking out over the Firth and towards mountains, where sea birds and plenty of wildlife make their home. Just ten minutes from the picturesque city of Inverness, there are also plenty of attractions nearby for days out.
For tents, campervans, caravans, motorhomes and RVs, there are 50 non electric and 65 electric grass pitches with 16 amp hook ups available. Tourers also have the option of ten hardstanding electric pitches, great for when the weather may not be so sunny.
All of the pitches allow up to six guests, with plenty of space left for games and playing with the family. The site also enjoys direct access to a shingle beach, perfect for a little paddle. You can even hire bikes onsite and venture off on the surrounding routes.
The site also offers a range of eco cabins and static caravans, great for those not wanting to bring their accommodation with them.
For that traditional camping experience, the site also allows raised BBQs and fire pits, great for evenings out in the open.
Four-legged friends can also join you for your stay so don't forget to pack their treats!

There’s nothing like a bit of retro in today’s high paced, high priced, & high expectations world. Bunchrew is a caravan site from a long gone era. I’m reminded of the old army camp of Cultybraggan, in Perthshire which I last visited in 1976. Both were PoW Camps in WWII. Bunchrew seems to be a stop off site to & from the North of Inverness. There are chalets that are disintegrating, with people still apparently living permanently in them. The gentleman at reception is exactly that, a well mannered gentleman, from the time the site was probably first opened for the tenting & caravan towing families back when I was probably a still a lad!
The parking up on a pitch was easy, the gentleman from reception rode down astride his pushbike & waved nonchalantly at a general area, for us to put our motorhome. He then rode off in his woolen pullover & mustard coloured corduroy trousers, back to a waiting customer in the onsite shop. As the day progressed there were many new arrivals. This is where the problems started. The rules for distance between units is 6 metres. Another Motorhome pulled in between ours & the Motorhome parked on our right hand side. That was the 6 metres fire safety gap gone. It’s not as though there was even a view to see. Just a load of other tents & caravans. If they had stayed back on the grass they would have had the same view but about 7 metres either side of them? Is it herd mentality, & thinking there’s safety in numbers? Lord knows! The ablutions are basic. In the male toilets, there’s still a percentage of individuals still apparently confused by how the flush system works.
The showers are a separate room next to the toilet & operating on a pull chain system, through the most robust Heath Robinson thick galvanised steel articulated arms. It looked severely over engineered. There was many hooks & stays to hang up your clothes. Just as well, as the floor gets wet up to the door. The water pressure was good & water warm enough. My foot kept going into the drain, even though there’s a rubber mat to stand on. Overall, it’s basic, we paid £31 for one night. It’s quiet, even though it was very busy as it got to evening time. The pot wash area has 2 sinks, but only one swivel tap, & no plugs in said sinks. There’s a burger van on site, which is open at breakfast time & evenings 7 days a week. Wife had a bap with bacon 🥓 & I had a Lorne & Haggis for our breakfast. They were 4*. Absolutely fresh & delicious. £4- £4.50 depending on your fillings. Highly recommend. I do hope that my comments are off putting. The place is just crying out for an upgrade. People have different expectations now. Certainly when you’re north of £25 per night. Then again if you’re happy to stay in an old style camping site, you will be in Nirvana..
