Come and stay in the peace and tranquility of Fortrose Bay Campsite, one of the best places to view dolphins, in their natural habitat, in Scotland. Situated on the pebble beach overlooking the spectacular view over the Moray Firth, It's the perfect place to relax and unwind. Enjoy a beach campfire and BBQ whilst watching the sun set over the distant mountains.
Fortrose is an historic seaside village. It lies 15miles NE of Inverness and is a great base to explore the rest of the Highlands. The Black Isle benefits from its own micro climate, often having better weather than other parts of Scotland. It is virtually midge free !! which makes it a great place to camp.
The Black Isle is actually a peninsula, rather than an island, running from Beauly to Cromarty at the tip. It is flanked by the Moray and Cromarty firths. It isn't certain where it gets its name from, some say its because the soil is so dark, others because the snow rarely settles on the Isle. Chanonry point is a large natural sand bar and lies between Fortrose and Rosemarkie village. It has a very scenic golf course and lighthouse and is famous for being the best place to spot the UK's most northern colony of bottlenose dolphins.

Amazing location and friendly staff. Close to local amenities such as a cafe, bakery and pub. Beautiful views of the sea and dolphin watching close by. The only drawback is there seemed to be only 1 woman’s shower and the water was not particularly hot either time I used it.
Thanks for your review and comments, appreciate your feedback.Sorry to hear that the water in the shower was not that hot. Please do always let us know if there is anything of concern, while you are on-site, and we shall do what we can to assist. For next time, there are two addition showers opposite Reception in the shower shack, which offers a spacious modern option for our campers.Glad you enjoyed your stay.With best wishes from the Fortrose Bay Campsite crew.
Lovely site with stunning views. Very friendly staff. Facilities we good. Great location to go dolphin spotting. Also a very nice golf course right next door. The Anderson village pub is well worth a visit too, food there was excellent.
Thanks for your lovely 5 star review, recommendation and comments Dawn, delighted you enjoyed your stay.Look forward to welcoming you back next time!With best wishes from the Fortrose Bay Campsite crew
This was such a friendly peaceful site to stay at and we loved the fact that a little 10 min walk down the beach and we got to go and see the dolphins playing. We know it’s not a guarantee to see them but it really did top off the stay would return with out a doubt
Many thanks for the glowing 5 star review, delighted you enjoyed your stay.Look forward to welcoming you back next time!With best wishes from the Fortrose Bay Campsite crew

Good facilities, excellent views from pitch and amazing to see the dolhpins only 200 metres or so up the coast.
Thanks for the fantastic review Liam. Hope you had a great holiday and look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, the Fortrose Bay Campsite Crew.
Views from pitch were great walk along golf course with dog was great.Seeing the dolphins at chancery point was a real highlight.Only real downside was the shower block really in need of updating,one shower in block was a real downer.
Thanks for your review and your comments. You’re right, our quirky retro toilet blocks are not as new as other sites, but our shower shack does give our campers a modern, spacious option and our facilities are spotless and well looked after, as our reviews reflect. Most campers find we’re very good value for money, and we are continually seeking to improve however we can, so appreciate the feedback. With best wishes from the Fortrose Bay Campsite crew.
Good clean well managed site. Good spacing between vans. Great area with lots to do in terms of walking, cycling and swimming.
Thanks for the great review Ewan. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, the Fortrose Bay Campsite
Il campeggio è piccolo ma ha tutto quello che serve, tranquillo e di mezzo a due spiaggie dove si possono vedere i delfini al cambio della marea. Il paese è vicino dove ci sono pub e caffè e piccolo supermercato.
"The campsite is small but has everything you need, quiet and between two beaches where you can see dolphins at the change of the tide. The village is nearby where there are pubs and cafes and a small supermarket."Grazie per la bella recensione e le bellissime foto Alessandro. Spero che tu abbia trascorso una meravigliosa vacanza nelle Highlands! I migliori auguri, campeggio Fortrose BayThank you for the lovely review and great photos Alessandro. Hope you had a wonderful Highland holiday! Best wishes, the Fortrose Bay Campsite
The campsite is a basic style site, everything is clean and tidy, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The only thing that I would like to be reviewed is the showers, they are all electric which isn't a problem if the water pressure wasn't so low. When having a shower there wasn't enough water coming out of the shower head to wash properly and to keep you warm because the shower blocks weren't heated at all whilst I was there. I used both facilities for showers, the shower shack was better, but the water pressure wasn't any good either. All said and done I would still go back because of the area and the Dolphin watching which was an amazing experience.
Thanks for your positive review and your comments. Our shower shack does have a heater on during cold spells. Most campers find we’re very good value for money, and we are continually seeking to improve however we can, so appreciate the feedback. With best wishes from the Fortrose Bay Campsite crew.
