VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jun 2025 Really top class camp site.
All the facilities were very very clean. Staff were lovely.
Very convenient shop and microwaves and washing machines etc. Thank you .
Great site
Medium Tent - Small Grass Tent Pitches (Optional Electric) Jun 2025 Lovely site, very clean and great facilities. Only downside was the midges which the campsite obviously can't control.
Convenient and clean
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 On our way from the North coast and Orkney. Great place to stop on the way down after the Scrabster ferry and seeing John O' Groats etc. very convenient. Friendly staff, attractive site, modern and clean facilities.
Excellent throughout
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jun 2025 Very well appointed and exceptionally clean.
The entrance for tall motorhomes looks daunting but is in fact, no problem.
Super site
Motorhome - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 A beautiful site, very well run by super friendly staff. The toilets and showers are first class!
A wonderful community
Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jun 2025 This place is a real find.
Wick is a terrific example of community spirit. Those on the NC500 should stay more than a night. Stop and smell the roses.
Epic stay!
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jun 2025 This could not have been a better for my wife and I as "virgin" campsiters!
New facilities, all really clean and well serviced. All you could need from pre-arrival until departure.
Beautiful site
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2025 Wick River Campsite was one of the best we stayed at while touring the NC500 in a motor home. The facilities were excellent, really fresh, clean and well appointed. Access to the site was easy, especially as we had a unit taller than was able to access from the main entrance. The proactive text with link to where the alternative entrance helped reassure us we were accessing from the right point.
Incredible site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2025 This was our first night on the NC500 and the site is amazing! Very very clean and modern. The lady who checked us in was very helpful and super friendly. We will be recommending to people who go on
To do the NC500 and we will stay again if we ever do it again.

Wick River review
VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Pitches May 2025 Good facilities, welcome and good information.
Highly recommend
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches May 2025 We stayed here for 4 nights, my husband and I, along with our 11 yr old daughter and our two dogs.
We all had a fabulous stay here, the facilities are fabulous, very modern and clean toilets/showers. The shower cubicles are spacious so you can get dressed in there after showering. There are three hairdryers in there. The only downside I'd say is that they close the toilets between 11am and 2pm for cleaning, which is a bit inconvenient if you've had a chill morning and want a later shower.
There are various water stations around the camp with drinking water. The grounds are extremely clean and well presented. Other facilities include a clean and spacious washing up room, which has a communal fridge and a freezer (very handy). Also, a lockable phone charging station. There is a laundry room to wash your clothes on the go, which again is very handy.
The onsite shop at reception is handy but does close at 8pm. There is a play park at the back of the campsite if you follow the river down towards Wick town, you will see it, it's fabulous. Consists of a zip line, which my daughter loved and a sunken trampoline, which is great fun.
There are many walking areas around for the dogs to run off the lead (off camp). There is a Co-op nearby which is handy. We tried the chippy, Chinese and Indian in Wick for take out and each meal was fabulous.
The staff here are very friendly and helpful. We were very happy with our stay and if it wasn't a 10 hour drive away, we would definite be back time and time again! Loved it!
Pleasant site close to the river with footpath to the town
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches May 2025 Warm welcome from team who also sorted an extra long cable for hook up as mine was too short.
Facilities were excellent - one of the nicest shower blocks I have seen! The shop was useful and the site was tidy with every thing needed for short or long stay.
Whilst it wasn't the cheapest, the facilities were very good so extra cost was ok.
Good stay for NC500
Medium Tent - Small Grass Tent Pitches (Optional Electric) May 2025 Couple stayed with dog for one night. Staff were very nice and facilities very excellent and clean. I made a mistake on my booking and the staff changed it quickly and without a fuss which I really appreciated but didn't expect when I asked.
Would really recommend. Good base for a stop on NC500.
Great stopover for the NC 500
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2025 Quiet place to stop at on the NC500. Within close walking distance to the centre.
Nice clean facilities with helpful staff.
Can't fault it
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2025 Can't fault this site - the welcome was very genuine and the facilities amazing.
I just hope that it doesn't become so popular that they try and accommodate too many units. Going under the railway line was a bit scary but the warden assured me I would have hit the barrier before the bridge.
NC 500
Motorhome - Electric Grass Pitches May 2025 Very good, very clean, very pleasant.
NC500 overnight stay
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2025 Great site, good location and excellent facilities.
First class site
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2025 Nothing to fault on this site. All the facilities and staff are excellent. Would definitely return.
First class campsite
Small Tent - Small Grass Tent Pitches (Optional Electric) May 2025 A lovely stop on our road trip. Excellent facilities- loved that the toilets and showers were so well heated and had music playing. The staff were helpful and friendly. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Great site would recommend
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2025 We enjoyed our stay in our campervan at the site, great site, really clean, and good facilities.
We will definitely return.
Fantastic location
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Apr 2025 Arrived at Wick campsite for two nights while touring the NC500.
What a beautiful site this is, with two ways of entry, one for smaller vehicles and one for larger. Top quality facilities, we were welcomed by one of the staff and shown our pitch, which was fifty feet away from the showers.
The information sheet they gave us on arrival was very informative, the shop was stocked with great essentials if needed and the walk along the river into Wick was lovely. There are not many shops in Wick, and that didn't bother us, a place where Lowery painted his portrait of the steps and it's steeped in history around the herring industry.
Wick campsite is a fantastic place to stay when doing the NC500, whether just for one night or maybe more if you're not in a rush to complete the NC500 trip.
You are truest spoilt with the facilities here
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Apr 2025 Honestly, we have done the route NC500 and the facilities here really spoilt us, I have not seen anything like it before on my travels.
Amazing friendly and helpful staff - a must stop off.
First Class Campsite.
Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Apr 2025 We booked Wick River more for its location, to break our journey north, than for any other reason, so were unsure what to expect.
Wow, what a pleasant surprise. From the warm welcome we received at check-in, to the standard of the facilities, there wasn't anything that could have been improved on. In terms of campsites, this was one of the highlights of our motor home journey around the Scottish highlands.
