Adventure brief

Bettyhill Touring Pitch: Grass Pitches with Beach Views and Village Access

Set on the northern edge of Bettyhill, the Touring Pitch offers a straightforward, sea‑facing campsite option where tents, caravans and campervans share grass pitches with views toward the beach. The site combines basic modern facilities — showers, toilets, a camper’s kitchen and coin‑operated laundry — with a village nearby that provides opportunities to explore the local coast and amenities, making it a practical base for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

Located on the rugged northern coast of Scotland, Bettyhill offers an authentic retreat for outdoor enthusiasts seeking both tranquility and adventure. Craigdhu, Bettyhill Caravan and Campsite positions itself as a premier basecamp right on the edge of the North Atlantic, where guests can book a pitch for tents, caravans, campervans, and more, all boasting sweeping beach views. This site presents a compelling mix of natural beauty, practical amenities, and a friendly village vibe that makes it more than just a place to rest—it’s a doorway to the unique wilderness of Caithness.

Bettyhill lies beside the expansive sands of Torrisdale Bay, where sand dunes meet crashing waves and seabirds patrol the skies. Here, the campsite offers hard standing and grass pitches, perfect for everything from robust campervans to lightweight tents. The facilities go beyond the basics: modern shower and toilet blocks, a camper’s kitchen equipped with microwave and toaster, fresh and wastewater hookups, and even coin-operated laundry. Wifi is available in key communal areas, providing a practical touch for those mixing downtime with remote work or trip planning.

Pet owners will appreciate the welcoming atmosphere with their four-legged companions included at no extra charge. The village itself is small but vibrant, with local amenities and coastal walks right from the doorstep, making it easy to blend relaxation with exploration of nearby beaches, cliffs, and forest pockets.

Beyond convenience, Craigdhu represents a gateway to northern Scotland’s remote charm—a spot where you can transition from a day on the water or trails to the soft glow of firelight under an expansive sky. Whether arriving solo, as a couple, or in a group, this campsite offers a distinctive launching point to experience the wild edge of the UK in comfort and style.
