3.5 Acre Campsite Shores of the Moray Firth
A Genuine Lifestyle Change Opportunity on the Shores of the Moray Firth.
Established & Profitable Coastal Campsite • Start & Finish of the NC500 • Owners' Accommodation
Offers invited
Imagine waking up every morning on the shores of the beautiful Moray Firth, running your own established and profitable tourism business, living on site in your own three-bedroom chalet — and having the freedom to enjoy around five months away from the business during the quieter winter period.
Fortrose Bay Campsite offers a rare opportunity to make a genuine lifestyle change while taking over an established and highly profitable business.
A Prime Highland Tourism Location
Fortrose Bay Campsite occupies an enviable coastal position overlooking the Moray Firth, on the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands.
The campsite is ideally situated at the start and finish of the North Coast 500 (NC500) — one of Scotland's most popular and internationally recognised tourist routes.
The NC500 attracts visitors from across the UK and around the world, creating a strong market for touring caravans, motorhomes and campers exploring the Highlands.
The campsite is also approximately 15 minutes' walk from Chanonry Point famous for its resident population of bottlenose dolphins and one of Scotland's best-known wildlife-viewing locations.
The Campsite...
Set within approximately 3.5 acres, Fortrose Bay Campsite provides:
- 50 pitches
- Electric hook-ups to all pitches
- 20 hardstanding pitches
- Two toilet and shower facility buildings
- Additional accessible wet room
- Spacious separate shower shack
- Small kitchen/laundry area for guest use
- Owners' three-bedroom chalet
- Established customer base and goodwill
- 24-year leasehold with Highland Council
Strong Financial Performance
The business has an impressive established trading history, with recent figures of approximately:
Turnover: £230,000
EBITDA: £133,000
Net profit: £125,000
This provides a substantial income opportunity alongside the lifestyle benefits of owning a seasonal tourism business in one of Scotland's most attractive locations.
A Business That Offers a Lifestyle
This is much more than simply the purchase of a campsite.
The opportunity includes the ability to live and work on site, with the owners' three-bedroom chalet providing convenient accommodation.
The seasonal nature of the business means there is also the potential to enjoy approximately five months away from the business during the winter, giving the new owners considerable freedom and an enviable work-life balance.
For anyone looking to escape the traditional working environment and create a different way of life, this could be the ideal opportunity.
An Established Tourism Business With Further Potential
Fortrose Bay Campsite is already an established and profitable operation, benefiting from its unique combination of:
- A spectacular coastal location
- Position at the start and finish of the NC500
- Proximity to Chanonry Point and its famous dolphins
- Strong demand from touring and camping visitors
- 50 pitches with electric hook-ups
- 20 hardstanding pitches
- Comprehensive guest facilities
- On-site owners' accommodation
- A strong existing financial performance
The business also offers potential for a new owner to build upon the existing operation and develop additional income streams, subject to the necessary planning and lease consents.
The Opportunity
Fortrose Bay Campsite represents a rare opportunity to acquire an established, profitable and highly attractive Scottish coastal campsite in one of the Highlands' most desirable tourism locations.
The current owners have successfully grown the business for 11 years and are now considering retirement, creating an opportunity for a new owner to take over a well-established operation with a proven trading history, excellent occupancy, strong online presence and established customer base.
For a purchaser seeking a profitable business, a beautiful place to live and genuine freedom outside the main trading season, this is an opportunity well worth serious consideration.
Offers are invited for the leasehold business, including goodwill, customer base, equipment and associated assets.
Further financial information and detailed business information can be made available to genuinely interested purchasers following an initial enquiry.
