One of the nicest campsites I've ever been to. Extremely remote, but the road leading up is easy to do even with a city car. The hike to Scoraig lighthouse from the campsite is one I'll never forget. The bothy serving as common room is great, nice to get some shelter to prep a meal and relax.

Absolutely stunning campsite - beautiful walk down to the loch which was just so clear and peaceful. Lovely little plots - just right for our campervan. Toilets and showers were clean and functional. Only downside was the midges - I would have loved to stay outside for longer but we had to retreat to the van. Highly recommended though.

Great location and a great place for camping. We will be back again and for longer. Thank you for having us and sorry we had to cut the holiday short.

A lovely quiet laid back site with stunning views of the mountains with a short walk down to the loch which gives you fantastic views back across the loch in both directions. Facilities met all my demands, the showers were very good, a Bothy to hand as well if the weather or the midges get to bad. 🤪
Fire pits provided but bring your own wood.
I fully recommend a stop here if you are in the area.

Beach camping in Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve guide
When to go
Visiting Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve is a special experience at any time of year. Birdwatching is great all year-round, while spring and summer are best for wildflower viewing. Seasonal highlights include ospreys soaring over the estuary and sand dunes blooming with colorful wildflowers in the spring; butterflies in the dunes and seal pups in the estuary in summer; greylag geese and wigeon in fall, and more winter wildfowl and otters in the winter.
Know before you go
- The closest bus stop is in the village of Golspie, two miles (three kilometers) from the reserve. Here you’ll also find the closest train station (Golspie is on the Inverness to Wick line). There is also a cycle path from the village to Balblair woods.
- The closest public restrooms are in Fountain Road car park in Golspie. They are fully accessible.
- Visitors should familiarize themselves with, and take care to follow, the Scottish Outdoor Access Code and avoid disturbing wildlife.
