About Ferry View Night Stop
Open all year round and located on the NC500, Ferry View provides a pit stop for those taking the iconic route, exploring the far north or heading over to explore the Orkney Islands. Halfway between Wick and Thurso, Ferry View offers the perfect base to discover everything Caithness has to offer. Motorhome and campervan pitches are all fenced with hardstanding and a grass area with electric on all pitches. There is also a separate tent only grass area with electric hook up and grass parking. There is an onsite takeaway, doing a selection of meals for breakfast lunch and dinner, along with a selection of hot and cold drinks and snacks, including bottles of Scottish beers, wines and ciders. The site is also home to a quirky bus, a place to sit and relax, play board games, read a selection of books, have a coffee and take a look at the artwork for sale, handcrafted onsite in the Artist's Workshop. For those feeling a bit more active, the site has a games area with Giant Jenga, Swingball and other games to play. The owners are previous tour guides, meaning they have a wealth of local knowledge between them and are more than happy to share their knowledge and provide you with information if you need it. Just ask! Dog friendly.
