Little gem on the Moray Firth
★★★★☆
“Great little camp site set in a beautiful corner of the Moray Firth. Very clean and tidy site throughout with friendly and helpful staff. We stayed 2 nights for just £42 which was very good value. Just a 15 minute walk into the nearby village of Findhorn where there is lovely beach. We had a pub lunch at the Crown and Anchor which was very good indeed. There is a well stocked shop at the site as well. We enjoyed our stay there very much and we will definitely be going back.”

Holiday highlight was the Findhorn Foundation
★★★★★
“We had a very nice weekend at Findhorn caravan park, it had everything we could have wished for, plenty room to walk the dogs and easy access to Findhorn itself. Staff were extremely nice and very helpful. I have not answered the question on childs facility as we did not have children with us, but the kids who were there seem to have had a very good time, nice to hear the chatter of children enjoying themselves.”

Great place to spend time
★★★★☆
“We always really enjoy staying in the caravans at Findhorn. They are dog friendly and this is really important for us. They are also clean and well looked after with everything you need. We love the environment at Findhorn with the sea and the bay and the wonderful dunes with the smell of gorse flowers.”

Fabulous Findhorn

“FIndhorn is an area that we fell in love with a few years ago - we have been visiting the Park for years now and have no complaints. The site is well maintained and the accommodation is good value for money.”

Always a great experience
★★★★★
“I'm local to the area but live in Central Scotland. The site is my home from home when in the area. Used both static vans and my own tent over the years. Either way, its always a great experience. As a Legion Rider, I recommend it to all members of the Branch and to visitors to Moray... You can't have a better base to cover all of the areas amenities.... especially for Forres but then I am biased.”

“Recently came for 2 nights stay at the 'Findhorn Bay Holiday Park' with a friend. Booked online with ease. Arrived to check in and we're met by friendly, helpful staff. We were shown to our 'Premium A' caravan -which was beautiful and immaculate. Beautiful, scenic location -just a stones throw away from Findhorn and right next door to the Findhorn Foundation. I look forward to going back 🙂”

Eco Chalets are wonderfully comfortable
★★★★★
“Eco Chalets several times now and they are wonderfully comfortable, well-positioned and represent excellent value for money for holiday accommodation in the area. The proximity to the beach, on-site shop, children's play areas, pizza takeaway and cafe not to mention the magical Findhorn village and its various beaches make Findhorn Bay Holiday Park the ideal location for a family holiday. Migrating geese, seals and dolphins and spectacular skies and sunsets make this part of Morayshire a very special place. Staff are helpful but not intrusive. Couldn't be happier with our family holidays in FBHP.”

The location was excellent
★★★☆☆
“I chose the Caravan Park because of its proximity to the Findhorn eco village community. Here are my comments. 1- I looked through all the emails and on your website and I really didn't find clear, specific instructions or a decent diagram that helped me arrive (by car). You might look in the recent Findhorn Festival brochure for an example of a small but clear diagram of how to get there. (Ex: There were two exits for B9011 but we didn't know that. The instructions said go left to Findhorn but left was the recycling center so we went right drove through Forres. Luckily on the way out of town we crossed the roundabout where were were supposed to go to Findhorn) 2- I have an American cell phone. When I tried to contact the Duty Warden, my message did not go through. Is there some other way to contact him? For example, could you tell customers where to find him if you can't call? 3- The Internet was very spotty and we were continually bumped off. HOwever you may not be able to improve this due to your location. 4. Unfortunately the towel I paid 3 pounds for had a big black streak on it. However, the receptionist did exchange it for me when I showed her. The location was excellent and the park was very clean. People were very nice, but for us personally (we are retired teachers) I can't say that the caravan park was a good value in terms of the price.”

Great Stay

“Stayed for a week in a premium a caravan. Great beds, spacious living room and a kitchen with seatings. A 15 min walk to Findhorn village with two pubs and a small shop. Theres the phoenix shop at the park with all you can wish for in a convenience store. A pizza place and a cafe in the Foundation as well if you need. Great walking areas and theres the beach just 15min walk from the park through some amazing landscapes.”

Absolute Joy to be there
★★★★★
“This was our 1st trip in our new motorhome and we couldn't have picked a better place. Lovely clean showers and toilets.Shop onsite was great.Could also get pizza and crepes at small takeaway.Very eco friendly and organic.Band was playing on Saturday night but we wandered into Findhorn instead. This is such a picturesque village right on the beach it would be hard to find anything wrong with it.Will be back soon.”

We had an absolutely brilliant weekend at Findhorn Bay Holiday Park
★★★★★
“We had an absolutely brilliant weekend at Findhorn Bay Holiday Park, we stayed in one of the Economy vans as we just wanted a comfy base that meant we wouldn't have to pitch our tent. We thought being an "economy" van it might not be too great but exceeded every expectation...very clean, comfortable, really well equipped. Fantastic location and beautiful, clean site. My husband said it was the first time in ages he's actually stopped thinking about work because it was such a relaxing place to be!! Our two children loved it and we are all desperate to get back soon. The staff were very friendly and helpful, couldn't ask for more!”

As always, we loved staying at Findhorn
★★★★★
“As always, we loved staying at the Foundation. Sandpiper and Turnstone are great places to stay and even the wood pigeons like to make us feel welcome by leaving little poops on the balcony. Sandpiper is showing some need of TLC: the front door is stiff to close and the electrics might need a look since we blew two bulbs in one evening. That notwithstanding, we would so like a house like that, pigeons and all. Thanks!”

Findhorn is a magical place
★★★★★
“I come every year for a week. Findhorn is a magical place and I love staying at the caravan site - but I have learned over the years to add a few things to the list of things to take with me - a bedside light, garlic press, sieve and hot water bottle, for instance! I love the fact that my grandchildren can play safely and securely - the whole ethos of the site and Foundation is wonderful. Thank you - we love Findhorn just as it is.”
- Beverly Brown
Overall very good for what I want
★★★★☆
“Overall very good for what I want, a couple of negatives, water pressure for shower is way too low, cleanliness could be improved, found hair grips on floor, and kitchen door handles could do with a little more attention. Play facilitities for children limited, and evening on-site food store would be convenient for people arriving in eVenice. All other areas are perfect for my requirements, except for the distinct lack of sun!!!”

We enjoyed our stay
★★★★☆
“We visited the site in August as we needed somewhere to stay in the area whilst visiting family who live in the area. We enjoyed our stay due to the proximity to Findhorn beach and village, its position within the Findhorn Foundation site and the number of families with children present for our kids to meet and play with. The reception staff were very helpful and friendly and we enjoyed food from La Boheme and the Phoenix cafe.”
- Claire Heathcote
OK Campsite
★★★☆☆
“It's not a bad campsite, but it's not great either. This place has all the necessities, a toilet/shower block with plenty hot water (the water from the cubicle next to you runs into yours when other people are showering though) with dishwashing facilities and fresh water points. If we were looking for somewhere to stop over for a couple of nights we would probably go back there, but we wouldn't want to camp there for a weeks holiday, it didn't wow us like other sites we have stayed at in the past. Also the road that runs past the site is quite noisy in the tent (not the fault of the site though)”

“As often as possible we make the journey up from Edinburgh to spend time in Findhorn. We always stay at the Findhorn Bay Holiday Park. It is a beautiful and peaceful place run by lovely people and there is plenty of fresh air and freedom for the children. The Foundation has lots of great stuff going on and the beach is absolutely wonderful. There is also lots to do in the area.....but the best bit is the peace and the calm - total battery recharge!”
- Sarah Pretorius
Staff were very friendly and helpful
★★★★☆
“Staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a few teething problems with doors in the new caravan but these were dealt with promptly. I have mentioned twice in past years to staff that I think the caravan park would really benefit from a place for teenagers to meet. Nothing too elaborate , just a wooden shelter perhaps near the Living machine so as not to disturb others. And some activities eg. table tennis, basketball. We have been coming here on holiday for years with kids and I know they really miss the basketball hoop which used to be beside the volleyball court.”

Helpful staff member
★★★★☆
“2 night stay. Arrived on Friday and met at reception by helpful staff member who advised on location of pitches, which were not individually marked out or able to be reserved. Pitching area was grass only and as stated, not marked out, so find your own spot. Fine, in theory. HOWEVER, people obviously don't like each other as they generally parked up about 10 metres apart, instead of the recommended 6/7 metres. This meant that it was very difficult to find a space as two vehicles would take up space generally occupied by 3 ! Once we found sufficient room we got set up. Plenty of EHP and easy access to fresh water, ablutions and and grey water/chemical disposal. Toilet block was dated but clean and tidy with sufficent WC/sink and shower amenities, showers were good and hot. Site was clean and tidy. Childrens play area adjacent to pitches and tents were allowed directly opposite the access road. I would return to the site and would probably recommend it as both a family and singles site. Good local shops facilities and pubs etc, all within a short walk or drive. Overall a good little site. I would review the site higher than 9/10, however due to the lack of marked pitches, space was difficult to find.”

The only complaint was the very noisy heating system. I would not like to be in this chalet during the colder months when the heating would be on continually. Other than that, we had no complaints.”

Wonderful Holiday Destination
★★★★★
“We hired a caravan here for two weeks.The site also caters for tourers and tents. The caravan was beautiful and spotlessly clean. It was also well equipped. This is a small site located at the entrance to the Findhorn Community. The site is well maintained and a pleasure to be in. Within easy walking distance of both Findhorn and Kinloss. Staff are friendly and helpful and a warm welcome awaits. A site well worth visiting and returning to! A tour of the Findhorn Community is a must!”

Secluded, delightful and a return visit
★★★★★
“Always enjoy my visit back home to Findhorn. I chose an economy caravan as had dogs. There are more luxurious than I thought they would be. Comfy sofas, heater, compact but well equipped kitchen. I had a mini bath with shower over, so cute. Comfy beds. Views over neighbouring countryside if you book for a van at the back. Watched the deer from my window. Highly recommend if staying with dogs. Great walks nearby, the bay, woods, and of course into the village, which isn't too far. Love the peace,and quiet there. Cant wait to return. Oh and try the crepes at the crepe and juice bar. Such friendly people in there.”

Lovely location
★★★☆☆
“Right beside the Findhorn community, good shop, nice walks. Bit noisy as beside the main road...we were staying in the campsite with our Campervan. The site only had a few people on but all but one of the toilets was locked in the ladies, the food washing up area wasn't clean and the site had cigarette butts and rubbish around. This was a pity as the toilet block was lovely with fresh flowers and warm decor. But it needed managing more directly I think.”

Sweet spot of the Universe
★★★★☆
“Findhorn is my very favourite place in the world! We've stayed here 7 times and in each grade of caravan. They've all been very clean and well equipped - true to their description on the website. Being attached to the Findhorn Foundation means you are free to use the facilities such as the shop and wonderful cafe. I've also attended some open meditations etc and been made to feel very welcome. The caravan park is a mile from Findhorn town which has a few shops, pubs, cafes. The beach is beyond stunning and you can take a lovely walk through the sand dues from the the park to the beach. For shopping we usually go 5 miles along the road to Forres where there is a tesco and Lidl. A perfect place for a family get away where we spend quality time with our kids and have long walks and lots of fresh air. Highly recommended.”

We will definitely return for a short break
★★★★☆
“Site was quiet when we visited for a couple of nights. Quiet pitch even though it was beside the main road as the trees seemed to mask any noise and headlights. Toilets and showers were basic but very clean and had pot plants placed inside the block giving a pleasant feel, as did the herbs beside the dishwash area which you could use in your cooking. I felt that the prices were cheap as we have a large tent and the staff did not charge for the freezing of our ice packs. The site is in the Findhorn foundation which has its own shop and coffee shop, and there are often music and art events held in the hall. We will definitely return for a short break in the future as it is reasonably close to home.”
- Wanmas
I've given it high ratings because it was so quiet
★★★★★
“We called here on an overnight but could have stayed much longer. Not cheap, but lovely toilet facilities and hook-up included in price. And it takes dogs. It's on the edge of the Findhorn Community so you have access to their amazing wholefood shop and wandering round the community with its assorted housing is really interesting. Not many other units when we were there and it had a peaceful quality, but possibly very different when busy as there are loads of static caravans on site. The toilet block had just been repainted - the Ladies is a very cheery yellow - and is kept immaculately clean with lovely touches like fresh plants/flowers and big pots of herbs at the dishwashing sinks for you to help yourself. Very friendly cleaning/maintenance staff. Grounds are pristine. The local village looks good to wander round, and you can walk from the site to the dunes and the bay. Not great weather when we were there so didn't see much of it. I've given it high ratings because it was so quiet when we were there, but it might seem more commercialised and hectic in peak season.”
- Pam H
Would I go back? Yes!
★★★★☆
“I last visited this site in the mid 80's on a motorbike, when the pitch area was next to the road, and only a small wire fence separated the two! Road noise was not a problem (after 7 pints & 5 Banana rums ala Crown & Anchor) I have a connection with the area having served at RAF Kinloss for 5 years. We decided to visit on the spur of the moment, and having loaded up the trailer headed to this site. On arrival I went in to the office and was informed to pick a pitch I licked and to return after 2pm when the office would be open to take payment. The pitching area was flooded slightly on the tarmac road directly in front of the tent area (it had been raining heavily), so it was a case of dodge the puddles! We noticed a few tents already up, but we had a good distance between us and the other campers. Once the tent was up, we took the dogs for a walk around the exterior of the site and came back in to the site at the side gate next to the perimeter fence of Kinloss. The ablutions were clean and warm (entry is by a keypad system, and I am now at that special age where a fumbled code could result in a warm feeling in the nether regions!) Memo to self: In future pack more under crackers. The showers are biggish, but the usual lack of pressure means you have to hug the wall like Spiderman to get a wash. Plenty of hot water at all times and lights work on a IR system after 10pm, so when your reading Dear Deirdre, they cut out. Fade to Gray. They were running a NATO multi aircraft exercise, but due to the reduction of MoD budgets there were no flights after 7pm 'ish! Though I must say my 2 young children (girls 6 & 4) just about jumped out of their skins when 2 Eurofighter Typhoons took off from the (very) nearby runway! Whoosh Bang! Ah the smell of Avtur in the mid afternoon breeze! Sorry back to the site. We intended to stay 1 night to see what it was like, and as the afternoon progressed more tenter's started to appear (along with motor-homes, which set up opposite). By late Friday evening the tent area was more like T in the park. I do not know if there is a legal limit to the licence of the park, but it was getting to the stage where guide ropes were almost next to each another’s tents! Now you can guess by late evening one could hear snoring / talking / parping emanating from the other canvas shelters. Not to bad when it is coming from one's self or immediate close family members. Not so nice when it is coming from individuals to whom one has not been properly introduced to! The following day the rain let up and by mid morning the sun was out and the temp was mid 20's (The Moray Firth is a sun trap!) We booked another night's stay as I now considered my fellow campers in a 20 mt radius to be as good as relations after all we had shared the previous evening! We dragged the kids to Culloden Moor to tell them of the disaster that befell their ancestors (mine Stewarts of Appin and the wife who is descended from Rob Roy) all because some French / Italian / Polish Prince fancied winning his Grandfather's crowns back! It was a good day out (in a sad sort of melancholy way) and our oldest loves tales of Rob Roy and the Redcoats. Well the chap at the visitor centre dresses as one of 4th of Foot (Barrels) Regiment. She was scared! We went to Brodie Castle and stopped off at Tesco in Forres etc. The sun was out and we went for a walk to Findhorn beach and it was spectacular! Kids & dogs ran themselves ragged! Back at the site and there was even more tents I jest you not! Then after tea the heavens opened and it rained like someone had a hose! Kids did not care they had made some new friends and were over in the play park (very basic). We even lit our disposable bbq in the designated area (how I laughed like a drain when we toasted our marshmallows, then again it was perhaps the 1/2 bottle of LBV Port I had just consumed). Sunday dawned glorious and by 11 am was reading 29 degrees! Scorcher! Packed up and took the car past Kinloss to see the Nimrod MR2's all lined up waiting to be scrapped, and I knew them all, like dear pals, having been on everyone of the XV's at one time or another. Would I go back? Yes! What improvements? Less tents, on the pitch. If I want the feeling of attending an outdoor festival guess where I would go? Correct, a festival, not a camp site!”

All in all, a real surprise
★★★★☆
“Lovely site in a beautiful setting. Spent 6 great days here for a Highland wedding in Forres a few miles inland. The beach is perhaps the best I have seen in the UK and I can't wait to go back. Facilities were fine, but a little stretched, although I didn't have to queue for anything. The Bakehouse in the village, 5 minutes away, an organic bakery that seems to have connections with the Findhorn Community just round the corner, does great coffee, warm wild mushroom pasties etc etc - very lovely. Only downside was the Nimrod jets taking off from Lossiemouth, but quite interesting at the same time, only very occasional, and stopped / started at a reasonable hour. Don't be put off by the static caravans either - they are separate from the touring site, and barely visible until you leave or arrive. All in all, a real surprise, and in a very good way.”
- Beulah
Forres and Findhorn are lovely
★★★★☆
“It was very quiet when we arrived and there were a few caravans parked which looked like they had been there a while. However, despite the site looking a little basic and deserted it exceeded all expectations. Staff were friendly and helpful, toilet block wasn't state of the art but had everything you needed, as well as sockets for hairdryers and straighteners - a luxury! Good dish washing facilities and a little play park too for the kids. Site gets a little waterlogged with rain and the RAF base right next door is wee bit noisy in the day with jets taking off, but this wasn't a downside as my young boys thought it was magic! Forres and Findhorn are lovely and the Crown and Anchor in Findhorn is a must for a meal - reasonable and delicious.”
