Wick River Campsite

The rhythmic rush of the River Wick provides a constant, soothing soundtrack at this far northern campsite, where Scotland's wild skies stretch endlessly above coastal Caithness. Positioned in one of mainland Britain's most remote corners, you're perfectly placed to explore dramatic cliff-lined coastlines, windswept moorlands, and the historic harbour town of Wick itself.

This straightforward site welcomes tents, campervans, and caravans, making it an accessible base for those venturing to Scotland's northeastern extremes. Whether you're breaking a North Coast 500 journey, exploring the nearby Castle of Old Wick ruins, or simply drawn to Caithness's raw, unpolished beauty, you'll find this a practical stopover in a landscape where facilities are few and far between.

Toilets and showers cover the basics, while the campfire policy requires checking on arrival—worth asking about if you're hoping for an evening under those famously clear northern skies. The atmosphere is unpretentious and down-to-earth, appealing to adventurous souls who appreciate simplicity and proximity to nature over creature comforts.
