Any info will be great

Thanks Sid

Hi Sid

Just got back from our first two weeks camping after 10 years. If it's Rosemarkie you are refering to we spent our first 5 days there. It's a C&CC site,extremely well organised,it looked to be almost fully booked when we were thereand seemed to be very popular, facilities spotless but a but too regimented for me but I would still use the site again. I don't think any unit was any more than 50yds from the beach & most with a view of the sea( if you look to the right of photo you can see the markers for the units). I'm not sure of the suitability for children, the beach is great but unsuitable for bathing because of the strong currents. You can walk along the beach to Chancery Point where you can watch the Dolphins( Magic) or if you feel lazy it's two mins by car down through the golf course. There is also a very good dog walking area at the back of the site. One bad point is that a road to Rosemarkie itself runs through the site but it is closed to the public at 11oclock.

If you are in this area a must is a visit to the Clootie Well it's a very odd attraction. Hope this helps

Just posted a couple of photos on June comp of dolphins at Chancery Point, Best time to see them is low tide or when boats are going out from Avoch
