NC500 Campsite Opening Dates 2021

 

Just as I did last year, I am hoping to once again compile a list of camp sites and opening dates. Currently the earliest possible date for opening is April 26th 2021. I will add dates to those sites that have decided to open later on as they are announced. There is a list of service point providers for waste & water at the bottom of the page.

NB  Many sites will only be accepting motorhomes and caravans that have onboard toilet and shower facilities when they first open as it is unlikely that shared facilities will be allowed. 

PLANNING ON OPENING April 26th 2021 

This date is dependant on Government advice and it will be up to individual businesses to decide when they are ready to welcome visitors - updates to follow!  The sites below are beginning to make announcements about dates, and they all opened last year. The sites below that stayed closed for the 2020 season so may be less likely to open this year.

SITES OFFERING WATER AND WASTE DISPOSAL POINTS

Ferry View Night Stop in Caithness is offering a service point for motor homes who need it. There is a charge for the service, but you do not have to stay overnight on site. Although at only £15 per motorhome per night for up to 4 people we think it is definitely worth a stop!



Beauly Holiday Park near Inverness are also offering a service point for motorhomes providing you only use GREEN chemicals. It is good to hear that there are sites opening up facilities. So far we only have two service points confirmed so please support these sites by booking a pitch here for just £20 per night. (Grey & Black water discharge, drinking water refill & shower £5 for those not staying on site)

Kinlochbervie Harbour Community-owned stop-over overlooking Loch Clash, with five EHU's, fresh water, and chemical toilet waste disposal. The £15 overnight charge goes to community improvement projects. Payments for pitches and waste disposal/ water is at Bervie Stores in the village. Please do not be tempted to occupy the picnic site opposite as this denies its use to other people and it is very close to occupied properties.

If you run a camp site or have information on a site that is opening or remaining closed please post below so we can update our list and keep our members informed. Thank you.
