There are only 5M pitches remaining for people joking the list now.
I am pleased to announce our Orkney Adventure 2025. This will most likely be the last time I run this rally.
This rally will occur at The Point Of Ness Campsite in Stromness between June 18th and 24th of June 2024.

We have the whole campsite booked again for our group (except for four pre-booked pitches) for six nights covering the solstice. The campsite has all the normal facilities.
Pitches
I WILL CONTACT MEMBERS IN THE COMING WEEKS TO DEAL WITH PITCH ALLOCATIONS
Pitches are allocated on a
first-on-the-list, first-choice basis.
Reserves must accept the pitch within 7 days of the offer, or I will pass the offer on to the next person on the list!
The pitches have varying lengths from 6m to 9m.
The six grass pitches in the middle of the field are approx 6-7m wide (42m for six vans)
You can only book a pitch if your van will fit in it.
Pitch fees
30 EHU pitches, priced at £108.00 for six nights. (£18 per night)
2 EHU SHORT 5M pitches, priced at £780.00 for six nights. (£13 per night) These are by the gate and cannot take vans bigger than a VW transporter.
11 NON-EHU pitches, priced at £78.00 for six nights. (£13 per night)
You must pay for ALL six nights.
Paying for your pitch
You need to pay your pitch fee by bank transfer into the bank account listed below because I have to pay for the campsite from this bank account. Please do not send the money for your pitch until you have one allocated. As I have to pay for the campsite in advance, you will need to pay for your pitch fee in advance. You will get a full refund if you cancel your booking within 60 days of the rally's start (20th April 2024). If you cancel within 60 days, you will receive a full refund if a reserve takes your place.
Your pitch is only confirmed once you have paid!

Ferry travel
Two ferries travel to Orkney from the Scottish mainland.
Scrabster to Stromness, operated by Northlink.
Gills Bay to St Margraet's Hope, operated by Pentland Ferries
I cannot tell you the prices for June 2025 as they still need to be listed on their websites.
We have received a 50% discount on passenger and vehicle travel from Northlink Ferries on past rallies, and I will apply again, but I cannot guarantee we will get a discount.
Arriving at the campsite
You can arrive from 2 pm on Wednesday, 198h June 2025.
I will be there to get you parked up and explain the facilities.
Leaving the campsite
You must vacate the campsite
(not just your pitch) by 10 am on Tuesday 24th June 2025.
If you need water, grey waste disposal, or the Elsan, do this as early as possible, as lots of people will probably be trying to use these services closer to 10 am!
If you have any questions, please ask.
