A campsite with incredible views, even including the Northern Lights!

This wonderful campsite has an idyllic location on the coast, on an elevated position on a cliff, giving perfect views out over the sea. At certain times of the year, it is even possible to see the Northern Lights dancing over the ocean here. The beach is stunning, so much so that it will be easy enough to pass your whole holiday simply enjoying the view! All the facilities you need are here, including a camper’s kitchen for those using tents on site who need a little more space. With several beaches, stunning walks and magnificent viewpoints, Durness is unrivalled on the North Coast of Sutherland for a holiday base.

Though this campsite does have seasonal dates, it is actually open all year for campers to stop by. The facilities are closed but it is possible to connect to the electricity and fill up your water, and there is a public toilet not too far away. This service is available for just 15€ a night.

It is along the famous NC 500 route, a popular route for all kinds of ‘car enthusiasts'. Vintage cars, bikes, motorbikes, and campers join this route on single lanes with passing places.

The campsite is located on a cliffside with spectacular views of the ocean and the Orkney Isles. The site is prone to harsh weather conditions, so come prepared for cold and wind. In front of the site, there are two gorgeous beaches separated by a promontory with wooden walkways.

Sanitary blocks are basic but there is a really nice breakfast bar with coffee and rolls in a ‘streetfood’ truck. The phone signal is surprisingly good being so far north.

Pitches are on hardstanding plots with electricity, to be reserved well in advance. Freestanding pitches without EHU are on a first-come, first-serve basis. It can get very busy in summer!

The drive is the destination.. driving along the NC500 through the Scottish Highlands truly is fascinating

The landscape is gorgeous and the driving is a thrill. Every corner has a different view and a different climate. You could visit the Smoo cave in the vicinity or the quaint John Lennon memorial.

Ambassador’s Opinion

Fantastic part of the country

We loved the far northern tip of Scotland, the landscape is magnificent, and the remoteness and ruggedness are unique. You need the local whiskey to warm yourself! We recommend Old Pulteney or Famous Grouse, but we are novices...

Be prepared!

Scottish single-lane driving needs some studying but the system works surprisingly well. Inform yourself in advance and bring a little patience. Also, come prepared: the climate is harsh, petrol stations are limited, and big supermarkets are sparse.
