Dornoch Caravan And Camping Park

Dornoch Caravan And Camping Park combines a large, open coastal site with the convenience of having Dornoch town centre a short walk away. Family-run, it has flat grass pitches for tents and campervans, with a choice of electric hook-up or non-electric pitches. Toilets and showers are available, dogs are welcome and booking is offered online. Direct access to the golden sands of Dornoch Beach is a particular draw: the shore is a short walk from the bottom of the campsite, making beach walks easy to fit around the rest of the day.

Dornoch’s shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants offer alternatives to cooking at your pitch, while the championship links at Royal Dornoch are also within a short walk. Whisky enthusiasts can explore the selection of old and rare drams at Dornoch Castle Hotel’s whisky bar. For a closer look at the town’s history, Dornoch Cathedral dates from the 13th century, although fire and subsequent restoration have shaped the building seen today. Its stained-glass windows commemorating Andrew Carnegie are among the details worth seeking out.

For an excursion beyond Dornoch, Glenmorangie Distillery at Tain offers bookable tours and tastings. Its visitor centre also includes a museum and boutique, giving whisky-minded visitors more to explore than a tasting alone. Check the available experiences for your intended date rather than assuming tours run every day throughout the year.
