Wick River Campsite Reviews
Wick River Campsite is the perfect spot to explore the beauty of the Caithness countryside situated along the riverbanks in a peaceful, secluded part of Wick. Tents and tourers are welcome across the site's range of electric and non electric grass and hardstanding pitches. Conveniently located along the NC500 route and just a ten minute walk into the town of Wick and to the coast, you will be in a prime location for exploring the Highlands.

Mostly flat site on the bank of the river. We had to use alternative entrance due to low railway bridge on main approach. Friendly welcome. A 10 minute stroll along the river brings you into Wick centre. The site is tidy and the facilities spotless. Don’t be put off by the temporary facilities-they are excellent.

The camp site was fine although the facilities block was not finished but there was only two porta blocks for the whole site. The weather wasn't good either

Nice little site but there are loads of rabbit holes that wasn’t brilliant when camping in a tent. I did go down one when getting out the tent and twisted my ankle. Toilets are clean but had no soap. Glad they had showers but they were too hot for the kids. Had a small play area that’s a bonus but wasn’t suitable for my 2yr old. But found a park 2-3 minute walk from camp. Nice site overall
Very disappointing

We've just done the NC55 this was the poorest site. Facilities were poor, felt it was very poor value for money and would not stay again or recommend.
Should be great

Nice location, within easy walking of Wick along the river. Pretty little site. Downside for us was that the new shower block wasn't finished and so temporary toilets and showers were being used, with only 3 of each. There were quite a few people on the site and not really enough facilities. The new block looked really nice and I'm sure when that is completed fairly soon that this will be a great place to stay.
Fantastic price and a fantastic atmosphere

What an amazing place that had a very peaceful atmosphere. Great for stopping by, along with a very cheap price. Unfortunately the local pubs were average, but peaceful, which was really nice after travelling.
A One Night Stay.

The campsite is situated in an extremely pleasant spot by the river, with a pleasant walk into Wick for eating and shopping. Rabbits were running around darting out of sight when people appeared. The campsite had a quiet, very pleasant atmosphere with friendly, helpful staff. Whilst the new shower block build was delayed, for which the staff apologised the temporary showers and toilets were acceptable. We ware particularly pleased to stay at the site given that it is community run.
Great campsite

Really lovely site. Well spaced out, really clean and peaceful. Temporary facilities really clean. Service was excellent. A great example of how to run a campsite!

Lovely campsite. Will be even better when toilet block is finished. Walks for dogs and river which is never enough for swimming dogs (mine).
Lovely site with great staff

The alternative route is signposted but at first glance doesn't look suitable for motorhomes to drive along it, but it definitely is. Don't be put off, it gets wider as you drive along next to the river to the site. A new amenities area is being finished off at the moment, but the temporary shower and toilets are fine. We booked a second night to do the Whiskey tour 25 minutes walk away from the site. Would definitely recommend this site.
Amazing stay

This was easily one of the best campsites we stayed at on our NC500 route. Although new facilities were being built at the campsite, the temporary ones they had were very clean and well looked after. The campsite is in a lovely location overlooking the river, where if you walk two minutes down you get a beautiful sunset. The staff were super friendly and gave us some awesome recommendations for the NC500 that we hadn’t heard of before. Definitely stay here if you are passing through.

Had a lovely stay here, it had all we needed. The new facilities being built will be awesome. Great place to get to anywhere.
