The cry of gulls and the rhythmic wash of waves against shingle announce your arrival at Coulmore Bay, where pitches spread across open grassland with views stretching over the Cromarty Firth. Morning mist lifts to reveal the distinctive profile of Ben Wyvis rising inland, whilst the ever-changing Highland light plays across the water throughout the day.
This straightforward, year-round site suits those seeking an unpretentious base for exploring the dramatic landscapes of Easter Ross and the Black Isle. Tent campers, caravanners and campervan tourers will find level ground and the essential facilities needed after days spent walking coastal paths or venturing into the surrounding glens. The location places you within easy reach of the historic town of Cromarty and the wildlife-rich waters of the Moray Firth.
With toilets and showers provided, Coulmore Bay keeps things refreshingly simple. Check regarding campfire policies when you arrive. The atmosphere here is wonderfully unfussy – just you, the water, and big Highland skies that seem to go on forever.
