Camping at Golspie Reviews

Holiday

Was not what was expected on an industrial estate.

Site's response

Camping at Golspie, Golspie Business Park is on the southern outskirts of Golspie, benefitting from excellent road transport links to the main A9 Inverness/Wick trunk road. All local services and amenities can be found in Golspie, a short walk away. We are a small motorhome Aire based in the small Business Park providing all amenities for guests. We have big skies above us and with open countryside, mountainous and sea views all around. There are only 2 offices based in the Business Park, from which a minimal amount of traffic frequents the Business Park. So to avoid any ambiguity or misunderstanding, I want to state that Camping at Golspie is not located within an Industrial Estate.

Not happy having to pay for a shower

It was a bit noisy from the cars passing on the road and we were also not happy having to pay to use the shower.

Thank you for your review. We are in a great location just off the notorious NC500, (A9) in Golspie. As a main corridor trunk road, there will be some road noise but does quieten down during the night. We are predominately a motorhome Aire, though we try and cater for everyone. We don't advertise a shower on site because as a year round site we have to close the shower during the frosty winter months and wouldn't want to disappoint prospective guests. We decided that by installing a shower facility, it allowed us to offer more services to those who don't have their own facilities on board, eg, rooftop tents, walkers, cyclists, wild campers etc. So to keep our prices competitive, we ask for a small contribution towards the running costs of the electric shower. The shower has proven to be very popular with guests but it's a matter of choice as to whether you shower in your own van or use our clean spacious shower for £1.

A small, convenient overnight stay on the NC500

This park was perfect for an overnight stay, if your on route, or you want to explore the area. It's a small site, with good hardstanding, clean facilities. You do need to pay a £1 if you want to use the shower and you also need to pay £10 to dispose of your chemical waste here. Overall, it suited us for a one night stay.

Thank you for your review. Just to confirm that paying guests do not need to pay the £10 service charge, as this is included in the pitch fee. As an additional service, we offer a useful onsite service point for motorhome and campervan users to maintain their vehicle services whilst travelling.

Perfect

Warm shower, clean toilets, electric hook-up, close to the village. Perfect.

One night in Golspie!

A great little place to stay for the night. Easy to find, everything in great condition and just what you need for a night.

Well located for beach

A well organised, clean site, well located for the beach. We visited out of season so it was quiet. Site well organised, clean, disabled toilet/shower facility exceptional (in my view) for a campsite. Close to sandy beach for dog walks and Golspie town centre close by too. Site easy to find and access. Hosts attentive with texts checking everything was okay. Would definitely return.

On tour

Excellent booking and service, the site was immaculate and a great location for the village and onward.

Great stay

Lovely night stay here, wasn't sure what to expect with it being a business park, but it's beautiful. Toilets are clean also offering a leaflet stand of places to visit in Scotland, which is always handy. My partner paid £1 for the shower which he said was nice. It is so peaceful and quiet, all you hear is often the cars driving by but during the evening it is dead silent. Would recommend and will defo come again.

A gem of a campsite

This campsite was perfect for our stay. Each pitch has access to electricity and water and there’s a toilet and shower available. Host’s communication is clear and she’s at the end of a phone if needed. The location is great, easy walking distance into Golspie and the beach plus access to longer walks if you want them. We had an amazing time here and I’m already planning a return trip!

Convenient

Convenient on the NC500 loop. Ann was very helpful. Don't forget your £1 coins for 4 minute shower. Facilities were spotless, I'd stay again.

Stay at Golspie

We knew before we arrived that there were no shower facilities, but this did not affect our stay at all. The toilet facilities are very clean and in fact, there is a shower which needs to be paid for, if need be. The location is brilliant and a coastal path is very close and also a walk (climb!) up to the Sutherland monument. Once up there, the views are spectacular and worth the effort. I would recommend this campsite and we enjoyed our stay immensely.

New and clean

Beside a busy-ish road so some passing traffic noise overnight but didn't prevent a good night's sleep. Otherwise very convenient, extremely clean and well kept site. There was a lovely shower room and separate toilet, grey water disposal and close to shops/eateries. It is also dog friendly. Great communication from the owner. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely small site

Lovely small site just off the A9 on the North Coast 500. Nice hardstanding pitch, beautiful views, open all year and good facilities.

Overnight stay

Ok for an overnight stay.

Wonderful little site

Wonderful little site, and whilst on the road, it is in a great location. Owner also very lovely- thank you!

Easy to find

Nice site, easy access from A9. Clean toilets and shower. Good contact from owner on arrival via telephone.

Good stay

We found this site very good, it had everything we needed. It was clean and easy to book, we recommend this site to anyone.

Good stay

Excellent site with good facilities, handy for the village for shopping and eating.

Lovely stay during our NC500 route

Lovely stay. Easy to find campsite - very well signposted. Close to local shops, such as the Co-op. Also, there is a lovely waterfall walk not far which was lovely. Toilets were clean, we saw them getting cleaned while on site. Shower £1 for 6 minutes - kitted out with shower gel, etc and was warm. Electric hook ups available. No one was there when arriving on site which wasn't an issue for us. Check-in was as easy as informing the owner by SMS. Good communication, but as straight forward as it gets. Perfect for a stay on the east side of the NC500 to either start or finish your journey. (Close to Inverness). Thanks again x

Excellent little site

We really enjoyed our stay. The facilities were clean. The road was a bit noisy, but we were parked closest to it.

Route 500 stop

Great facilities and easy to find.
