    Fantastic location with dedicated bays. Very friendly and great walks along the front. Sundancer restaurant just 100 m away which is outstanding.

  • 5/5

    Another stay at this spot went to the local restaurant sun and sea 2 minutes away, would highly recommend this place, probably will need to book food was delicious and pudding where delicious even had a cocktail ? a great stop of very quite can highly recommend

  • 5/5

    Great night stop lovely Harbour cafe, found fish chip shop called salt and vinegar 8 minutes walk away. There is also a bar restaurant on the harbour but only opens Tuesday to Saturday. What a lovely spot beautiful beaches ?

  • 4/5

    Great overnight stay, quiet bar the waves crashing over the wall. No facilities. Don’t park in the motorhome spots if it’s a rough night as you will get battered by the waves. Car park “flooded” overnight but water pouring back into harbour as sea was so rough. £10 a night voluntary payment. Don’t know why would wouldn’t pay that though!

  • 4/5

    Plenty of parking bays, £10 charge for overnight. Right on sea front. Sandy Beach, well lit up. Cars come & go. Slept to the waves directly behind. Only caution not advisable to park if stormy due to close proximity of the ocean. No bins or amenities. 4G signal on EE, Vodafone & GiffGaff.

  • 1/5

    Leider für 10Pfund zu teuer, da weder der Ort noch der Haven sauber sind. Keine Mülltonnen vorhanden. Sollst sauber halten, aber wie. Nachts leider auch keine Ruhe, durch Autofahrer und Spanner.

  • 1/5

    Leider auch hier ein Reinfall. Auch wenn man hier ein paar Stunden zu zweit Verbringen will sollte man sich nicht wie ein Neandertaler aufführen, sondern Respektvoller über die jenigen die woanders herkommen. Ihr werdet bei uns nicht wie Aufsässige behandelt. Können wir auch ändern zu Hause.

  • 5/5

    Very quiet right at the seafront.

  • 5/5

    Sehr schöner Standort ,den können wir nur empfehlen. leider darf man hier nur 24 Stunden stehen, wir wären sehr gerne länger geblieben. Tolle Stadt ( The Class room) Restaurant können wir sehr empfehlen. Delphine haben wir ebenfalls vom Hafen aus gesehen.

  • 4/5

    Schöner Platz mit Blick auf den Hafen und den Strand von Nairn. Viele Picknickbänke in den Dünen, leider keine Mülleimer.

  • 4/5

    A spot looking out to sea is amazing. Spaces very close together though and some vans decided not to stay in the allocated bays once they filled up

  • 5/5

    amazing spot. public toilets on the green (main beach 500m) or public toilet at the holliday park (1km) shower in community art center (cost?? accessible??) weekly ceilidh in summer (art center) great walk on the beach towards peninsula. walks in forest are amazing too

  • 5/5

    Lovely wee spot right in the harbour. No real amenities but right over the bridge is the holiday park for a bite to eat and a drink. Nairn is a lovely wee town to visit too.

  • 5/5

    10 pounds pour le parking et vue 5 étoiles pour 8 camping cars. Nous étions plus que 8 mais personne n’est venu nous embêter. Nous pouvions surveiller nos enfants qui joulaient sur la plage pendant que nous buvions l’apéro dans le cc le top ! Mieux qu’un camping mais sans services

  • 5/5

    What a great place for my first solo outing. My dogs loved the beaches. I had a peaceful nights sleep and felt very safe. There were just 6 camper vans, motor homes. I would definitely go again.

  • 4/5

    Bel emplacement au calme

  • 2/5

    £10 for the night, no services and noisy till 10pm

  • 4/5

    Ruimte zat om te overnachten aan het water

  • 4/5

    Hi all, I and my granddaughter stayed at this super location Saturday night 15th July 2023. You are invited to pay £10 for a night stopover which I think is very fare. The donations collected are supposed to improve services in the area. Unfortunately the public toilets at the approach to the harbour are not in use. Let’s hope there fixed soon.

  • 4/5

    Bel endroit. Calme, belle vue. Manque juste un point d'eau.

  • 5/5

    Access open today when I arrived. there a barrier blocking one side of road so might be a tight squeeze for larger mohos. 5 spots already taken when I arrived at 6pm and spaces not particularly wide if you need to open side doors. Lovely views. Nice beachwalk and bar /restaurant a minutes walk away. Quiet after sunset when youngsters leave the car park. Would stay again

  • 5/5

    This site is currently not accessible due to a building being badly damaged by fire. Not sure whether they are repairing or demolishing it. Today, they seemed to be constructing a new barrier inside the temporary one, which might open one lane. We have moved on. Another user report needed.

  • 1/5

    Looks like a great location. However, currently the access road in the harbor is closed due to a construction site. Actually, it does not look like a big problem to keep one lane clear.

  • 5/5

    Eine ruhige Nacht mit tollem Blick aufs Meer verbracht. Sehr zu empfehlen!

  • 5/5

    Popular spot for day drippers and overnighters Clear instructions on how to pay. I chose 2x£5 tickets and displayed in window. Fabulous beaches and sunset. Everywhere on car park quiet by 10pm . Toilets nearby remain shut.

  • 5/5

    Really good stop overnight. No noise except one or two cars at around 8pm. No services except toilets mentioned above. Just 2 other campervans. Beautiful beach, marina and harbour.

  • 5/5

    Ein wunderschöner Übernachtungsplatz ohne jede Einrichtung. Toiletten sind wegen Vandalismus geschlossen. Wir wollten die 10 £ gerne zahlen um solche Orte zu unterstützen, das Gerät nahm aber nur maximal 3 £ an. Ich verstehe die vielen Unkenrufe nicht die über Gebühren schimpfen. Ein normaler PKW Parkplatz kostet die Stunde auch Geld. Hier steht man am Meer, 24 Stunden. Sagt einfach Danke!

  • 5/5

    Parking space directly in front of the ocean. For toilets you have to walk quite a bit. But there is a Holiday resort in walking distance. If you ask kindly or grab a coffee there you can use the toilets there for sure.

  • 3/5

    Tight spaces with little room between vans. Toilets close to town were closed. Good parkup except for noisy youths in their cars for a couple of hours.

  • 4/5

    Great to see this is still available. Payment is OPTIONAL now, well worth making some donation though, it keeps these places going. The wee neds in their fiestas and music tend to clear out by 11pm..

  • 5/5

    Stayed here last night. Such a treat!! Met some locals who were so kind and lovely, they offered the advice that the fee is optional and is a donation, i of course paid and added a little extra in the morning because it was such a lovely stay. Payment is on machine and as noted before is made in multiple payments as there’s no £10 option. Lovely view, quiet nights sleep. Defo recommend.

  • 5/5

    One machine was out of order and the other out of tickets !! Parked up and stayed overnight with 4 other vans. Ate at Sundancer which is 100m away and excellent. Lovely walks along front.

  • 4/5

    Just brilliant free in the day £10 for overnight. Overlooking the beach and harbour. Local cafe and toilet block within 5 mins walk. Easy access to local shops.

  • 4/5

    Stayed for the night.For information only allowed 1 night and no return within 72 hours park in marked bays only cost £10 I had to buy multiple tickets to get this amount but happy to do so as a great spot no trouble. Nice little town room for 5 vehicles

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot for a stop over. Windy night but otherwise no problems. Unable to pay the £10 so paid £4 on machine. No facilities.

  • 4/5

    Beautiful Views, £10 overnight fee which allow me to stay for 24h. 3 campervans around, very quiet, highly recommended. Toilets closed, perfect internet connection, waste bins.

  • 1/5

    Der Parkplatz hat eine geniale Aussicht. Wir kamen gegen 16 Uhr an und es war dort sehr ruhig. Leider ist der Parkplatz Nachts wohl der Treffpunkt von einheimischen Jugendlichen. Von 22 Uhr bis 3 Uhr morgens (an einem Montag) war die Nacht geprägt von lauten Hupkonzerten, lauter Musik und herumrasenden Autos. Wir haben irgendwann Oropax rein, von da an war es aushaltbar.

  • 5/5

    Nice spot right on the seafront. Police did a pass by in the evening and the morning and gave us a friendly wave. No trouble for us and was a quiet night sleep!

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz, klasse Aussicht. Stadt in 10 min zu Fuß erreichbar. Die nächste Toilette ist knapp 5 min im Park. Nachts richtig ruhig, Abends sind noch paar Jugendliche mit Autos da und verspeisen Ihr to Go Essen.

  • 1/5

    Worse than words can say it's only a matter of time before one of these boy racers crash into a motorhome, started about 10pm until gone 2 am, it's a real shame but obviously we're not welcome here

  • 5/5

    Zeer mooie plaats, zicht op zee en de haven. Of je nu wel of niet moet betalen konden zelfs de inwoners niet zeggen. De meeste camperaars hadden dan ook geen ticket. Ga zeker fish and chips uithalen, nooit zulke goede gegeten.

  • 3/5

    Die Aussicht ist wunderschön, der Platz sauber und ruhig, direkt am Strand. Leider gibt es keine Toiletten mehr. Das Toilettenhäuschen, das ein Stück entfernt steht, ist geschlossen, Betreten verboten. Für selfcontained trotzdem absolut empfehlenswert.

  • 3/5

    either it is me beinh too dumb for paying 10 by card or the machine…?

  • 5/5

    There’s an old sign that indicates no overnighting but the sign on the pay station says motorhomes are welcome for up to 24 hours for £10. I called the number on the pay station and they told me we are welcome to stay. There were three campervans overnight, absolutely beautiful stay, with the sea view and the sound of the waves and gulls. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5

    Overnighting is now allowed in marked bays for £10. Pay at machine by cash or card. We stopped here for a break at £1 for 2 hours. Great spot with good views and easy access to the town. NB all profits go to the local community.

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot by the coast. No overnight parking but nice to park up and walk into the town. Toilets near by and a couple of cafe/ restaurants on the beach front open during the day. Sundowners restaurant is very popular so May need to pre book.

  • 3/5

    No parking between 22.00 and 0800 hrs. We did see overnighters not following the rules. We found somewhere else but came back at 08.15 for breakfast with a view. There were a few unhappy locals taking pictures of vans and tooting horns so would advise not to flout the rules. During other hours it’s free and is a brilliant spot.

  • 1/5

    If you want grief this is the place for you. Police regularly move campers on. Locals are also very aggressive towards campers abusing the parking spaces

  • 2/5

    Overnight camping is not allowed, sign stipulates. No vehicles adapted for sleeping allowed between 22.00 and 08.00 am. Great for a daytime stop, handy for beach and town. Toilet block now closed.

  • 3/5

    We intended staying overnight but due to high winds ended up moving on. Fabulous views but a lot of boy racers up and down. We didn’t see any signs banning overnight parking.

  • 1/5

    Toilet nearby is closed

  • 1/5

    Owing to the number of Campervans parking during the summer there is now an Overnight Parking ban.

  • 5/5

    Just to say this is all open now, we stayed at the harbour a couple of weeks ago and all’s well. Nice quiet location right next to the beach

  • 4/5

    Très bel emplacement vue magnifique avec un beau coucher de soleil. Je retire une étoile à cause du bruit des voitures de jeunes qui viennent "petarader" le soir voire même arriver à minuit musique à fond jusqu à 1h du matin. Quel dommage un mercredi soir !!!!

  • 3/5

    Beau parking, beau coucher de soleil mais après 23h attention les jeunes viennent se drogué et puis ils font du rodéo avec leurs véhicules et ce jusque 2h du matin donc bonne nuit car vers 7h. C'est le camion poubelle

  • 3/5

    We spent one night here with many other campers. Some of the car park was blocked meaning the toilets were a fair walk away. The sound of the wave was nice but often interrupted by the boy racers driving up and down the car park.

  • 3/5

    Leider Freitags übernachtet, sehr laut wegen Jugendtreffpunkt.

  • 4/5

    Local council looking to ban Motorhomes from this area due to toilet waste being dumped over the harbour wall onto the beach area.

  • 5/5

    Idéal, face à la mer. Phoque, dauphin, oiseaux, plage. Le bonheur. Quelques jeunes le soir. Pas dérangeant.

  • 4/5

    Harbour park open now, and has been for several months, plenty of room for 10 to 12 motor homes.

  • 5/5

    Beautiful area, lovely views over the sea, small lighthouse, local pubs. Toilets nearby. A little gem

  • 5/5

    Perfect stopover.

  • 5/5

    Que des camping-cars, très calme, apéro sur la plage avec une petite laine tout de même. Petit centre ville très sympa pour aller boire un verre.

  • 4/5

    Parking entre le port et la plage. A proximité d’Inverness (20 mn)

  • 3/5

    There is still work ongoing in the harbour. We parked OK. 10 minutes from town center. You park nearly on the beech. Very clean and tidy. Great night's sleep. If you do park in a motorhome try to get close to the small Pier. It's more level than the rest of the carpark. If you can get a space you won't be disappointed.

  • 2/5

    Very noisy night, all night long youngsters driving off and on with their cars, horning, smoking, quarreling,... Maybe it is better not to spend the night in a weekend? Nice place though: beach, views,...

  • 3/5

    Pas pour y passer la nuit, beaucoup de passage.

  • 4/5

    Ruhiger Platz am Wasser im Hafen. Toiletten nicht weit und durchgehend geöffnet.

  • 3/5

    Mooie plaats,in het weekend wel last van jonge chauffeurs die tot stuk in de nacht met hun opgefokte auto's rondcrossen.

  • 3/5

    Parking ouvert sur le port sans interdiction. Plutôt plat vers la jetée. Nuit tranquille et superbe vue.

  • 5/5

    Currently (29/12/17) under construction so no access to site. Was really disappointed as it looks like a beautiful spot to stay.

  • 4/5

    Bon endroit, vue, promenade sur la plage et en ville

  • 5/5

    Buen lugar, cerca del centro y sin embargo, tranquilo y con vistas al mar. Los baños del puerto, abiertos 24 horas, vienen fenomenal. Había jovenzuelos haciendo el tonto con los coches pero se fueron a buena hora y dormimos estupendamente.

  • 4/5

    Quiet stay - some "car enthusiasts" gather in the evening, but no noise or problems. Beautiful views over the Moray Firth.
