You wake to the long, salt-bright light of the Moray Firth, stretching north toward the hills, and the low murmur of horses in the paddocks beyond your pitch.

This is a straightforward, working stud farm site that suits tent campers, caravanners, and campervans looking for something quieter than the manicured touring parks further south. The Black Isle itself—technically a peninsula, not an island—offers dolphin-spotting at Chanonry Point, woodland walks, and farm shops dotted along single-track lanes, and you're well placed to explore both the coastline and the forests inland. Families who don't mind a bit of farmyard reality and couples after hill access without the Cairngorms crowds tend to settle in well here.

Facilities are simple: toilets and showers onsite, and you'll want to ask about campfires when you arrive, as policies can vary depending on conditions and where you're pitched. It's a genuine farm stay, so expect friendly practicality rather than glamping polish—dogs' policy isn't confirmed in advance, so worth checking if you're bringing one along. The vibe is low-key, rural, and genuinely Highland.
