The flat sweep of the Moray Firth stretches out just beyond the dunes, salt air threading through the pitch rows and gulls wheeling overhead on the breeze.
This is a straightforward caravan and campervan park perched near one of the northeast coast's broad sandy beaches — the kind of spot that suits families after bucket-and-spade days, couples touring the whisky trail with a motorhome, or anyone drawn to the big skies and dolphin-watching possibilities of this stretch of Scottish coast. Burghead itself is a working fishing village with proper character, and you're well placed for exploring Moray's distilleries and coastal paths. Dog owners should ask about bringing pets along.
Facilities aren't detailed in the listing, so it's worth checking what's available when you book — likely the essentials for tourers, though don't expect bells and whistles. Campfires need clearing on arrival. The vibe feels low-key and coastal rather than activity-packed — a place to settle in, walk the beach at dusk, and let the rhythm of the sea set the pace.
