You won't find better soft, springy grass to camp on anywhere is the country! We spent 5 days here and had a great time even though the weather was very mixed. The site is a big open grass square with some views up the coast and out over the North Sea. The simplicity of it is very attractive indeed with the few buildings, toilet block and office, having the air of the 1950s. The toilets are spotless and the site owner very friendly and helpful. The passing trains, only 2 a day so not disturbing, who's drivers always waved and tooted to us, added to the comfortable feeling of it all. There are no 'play' facilities on site except the huge camp field itself but this is a positive aspect as it encourages you to wander down to the beach only a five minute walk away, and what a beach! Absolutely stunning in size and emptyness. Didn't see any whales or dolphins near by but spent a magical half hour just south of Brora watching at close range a colony of seals playing, feeding and entertaining.
The Camping Club site next door was much busier than this one but it has fewer views and is more expensive so we definately made the right choice.
We'll certainly be back at some stage.
