Cons:
"5 star prices for 3 star facilities."

"The toilet block was very dated. There was only three ladies showers."
"Toilets and full toilet and shower blocks need cleaning up and redecorated they are cold, dingy, they look dirty and need updating."

"Beautiful views over the beach and sea."
"Gorgeous location, everyone looks out at the sea, Orkney, the Old Man of Hoy."
Cons:
"Was meh.... Soulless and the electricity kept cutting out all night due to the site being overloaded, the site has a nice sea view but is right on the main road of town so is noisy."
"The views from the site are amazing looking out to sea however when you turn around it's a very different story. It's a housing estate!!"
"Thurso was a very big let down and this campsite thankfully was our last of the trip around the 500."
"No security, with a public footpath next to it and houses opposite."
"Uneven pitches, only pitch facility was electricity, inconsiderate neighbours (not sites fault) toilet door nearby banging all the time."
"The cliff top location is very pretty and near to the centre of town. It has an excellent walking path. It is a quiet location in spite of being in town."
"The view lovely, but the toilet, showers washing facilitys need serious update felt like pre war camp colder in the building than outside."

"For 26£ was not good value."
"Stayed in 7 sites while touring and this was the most expensive at £36 for a pitch."
"At £41 a night it was also the most expensive place we stayed in 11 nights. Not worth the money tbh and wouldn't return."

"Well maintained campsite, with clean facilities, spaced out camping plots, friendly staff."
"The site is excellent with great facilities."
Cons:
"Main concern was a lack of site security."
"Only negative is all the rules, it's a telling of a place when the first thing you see is a warning sign followed by more warning signs and a list of rules with words like 'liable' or 'prosecution'."
"Rules about everything."
"However too many rules (and you have to enter a code every time you want to use the loo) and too expensive."
"Great Location, but a little rundown & a little unfriendly."
"Site is not secure, open to anyone to walk through."
"Decided lack of security on site as footpath is a hop over the wall away."
