Kessock Caravan Park

The rhythmic slap of waves against the Beauly Firth shoreline mingles with the cries of oystercatchers, whilst morning light catches the road bridge arching overhead – an engineering marvel framing your waterside pitch. This is camping with a front-row seat to the Moray Firth's ever-changing moods.

Located on the edge of Inverness, Kessock Caravan Park offers year-round pitching for tents, campervans and caravans, making it ideal for those using the Highland capital as a base for exploring or simply passing through on the North Coast 500. The location puts you minutes from Inverness's shops and restaurants whilst dolphin-watching boat trips depart from nearby marinas. You're perfectly positioned for ventures into the Great Glen or further north.

Facilities are straightforward – showers and toilets keep things simple and functional. Ask about campfire policies when you arrive, as rules may vary. The real draw here is the setting itself: that distinctive combination of coastal calm and urban convenience, where you can watch shipping traffic and birdlife from your pitch before heading into the city for provisions or culture. Unpretentious, practical, and wonderfully situated.
