Has anyone camped in the carpark at John O'Groats?

I am just looking into a 'Scottish tour' for next year and I saw there is a carpark right by the sea.


Thanks in advance

Yeh we have, it was in early January and there is a sign we camped under saying no camping. Their was nobody up there at that time of year as it was sooooooooo cold but it was quite nice, especially round the little harbor bit and the sky at night was so clear you could see millions of stars. Their was a campsite with static vans on but it looked closed.

Cheers buddy - will give it a go, if I get told to move off I will haha

Spend the night in the car park at Dunnet Head...quiet place facing Orkneys.

Next to the lighthouse it's a great spot then head over to the Orkneys they encourage wild camping

When I went to John o grotes I thought it was pretty run down and didn't sleep the night.
Scotland has to be the best place to take a camper van fort william was a nice posh site ratagan was great with a view of the five sistersi could list loads of amazing sites all over Scotland. Damn I need to go back soon!
