Tent campers are welcome across the electric and non electric grass pitches, whilst motorhomes caravans and campervans can also opt for an electric hardstanding pitch with a 16 amp hook up. Roof tents are also permitted on all pitches except for the smaller ones. This site is part of a community enterprise, meaning a stay here will contribute to the continued improvement of the site or local projects that will improve life for locals and guest experiences.

BBQs are welcome on site, great if you enjoy al fresco cooking. However, please note that campfires and fire pits are not allowed, sorry. If you are looking to bring your four-legged friends, they are more than welcome as long as they are on the lead. There is a riverside walk that you can take straight from the campsite, great for a dog walk or a family bike ride.

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

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

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.
