Adventure brief

Plug In, Pitch Up: Grass Seaside Camping at Bettyhill

Stay overnight in a tent, caravan or campervan on a grass pitch with beach views near the village of Bettyhill. The site at Craigdhu offers electricity hook-ups, modern amenity blocks and a compact camp kitchen—everything for a relaxed outdoor escape with easy access to the village and shoreline.

Grass Pitch with EHU at Bettyhill offers a straightforward, sea-facing base camp on the north coast of Scotland. Located in the village of Bettyhill, this grassy site lets tents, campervans, caravans and roof tents set up with access to electricity, fresh water and modern facilities for stays from one to seven nights.

At first light the sweep of beach views frames the field: open sky, wind-swept grass and the steady rhythm of waves beyond. The campsite’s main draw is practical comfort in a remote setting — coin-operated washers and dryers, a well-equipped camper’s kitchen with kettle, toaster and microwave, separate shower and toilet blocks, and Wi‑Fi in the amenity area. Plug into an available EHU point when you arrive after 2pm and settle in; CCTV covers communal areas so gear left in the phone-charging cabinet is kept under observation but remains the responsibility of its owner.

This is a welcome spot for pet owners — dogs are allowed free of charge provided they are kept on leads and waste is disposed of in site bins — and the minimum age to book is 18. The grassy pitches are flexible: pick a spot that suits your rig, whether you are overnighting in a small tent or rolling in a motorhome; the booking is per person per night and additional guests over age five are added to reservations.

Beyond the gate lies the draw of northern Scotland: wide beaches and coastal grasslands where seabirds ride the onshore breeze and seals often loaf on nearshore rocks. Walks from the site head into simple coastal scenery rather than groomed trails, so waterproof layers and steady footwear pay off. For campers who value self-sufficiency, the camper’s kitchen and fresh water taps make meal prep easy, and the coin machines mean longer stays can still travel light.

Practical notes: arrive after 2pm, provide your vehicle registration at booking or via email, and respect quiet hours for late arrivals. Appliances plugged into the EHU are used at the guest’s risk. The site’s mix of easy access, electrical hookups and coastal outlook makes it a useful base for anglers, photographers and anyone chasing crisp northern light without sacrificing basic comforts. If your idea of camping includes a proper shower, a place to dry gear and a plug to charge your phone, this Grass Pitch with EHU answers that brief with service and shoreline atmosphere.

Bookings are per person; check the listing for current availability and leave gates as you found them. The site operates simple, low-impact camping practices that favor respectful behaviour and minimal trace—leave it tidy for the next party and you’ll keep this grass pitch part of Bettyhill’s welcoming outdoor options.
