The Loft Glamping & Camping

12 units · Motorhomes, Tents5 acres · Kinloss, Scotland
The Loft Glamping & Camping is situated at East Grange Farm, Kinloss, Moray. It 's a working farm that has evolved over the years to include Wigwam Glamping and Camping for campervans, motorhomes and tents. A number of the old farm buildings are also perfectly appointed as venue spaces for Weddings, Events and Workshops. The "wilderness" campsite offers pitches suitable for tents and small campervans whilst the Stackyard area is suitable for motorhomes and mega tents. All motorhome pitches have electrical hook-up and we have a good number of electric tent pitches. Unfortunately we do not take bookings for caravans. Onsite, we also have Original Wigwam cabins which are wooden camping cabins (Pods) that offer all year round protection against the elements. With heating, electricity, fridge, kettle and toasters. For those wanting a bit more luxury there are also ensuite Wigwam Cabins onsite with wood fired hot tubs. We welcome families, groups, well behaved dogs and do allow campfires outside the wigwams and at pitches and can provide fire hubs on the campsite (this must be pre-arranged). The Loft Glamping & Camping looks forward to welcoming you throughout the year!

The Fauld Farm on the Isle of Mull

1 unit · Motorhome, Tent50 acres · Tobermory, Scotland
The Fauld is a small hill farm located close to Tobermory in the north-east of the stunning Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. In total, the land comprises around 150 acres - although most of this area tends to be grazed by our Highland ponies and Shetland/Cheviot sheep. In spring and summer, there are wild flowers and birds galore, and bracing fresh air is on tap all year round - as are the spectacular coastal views from the top of the hills. The farm lies within walking distance of the iconic and colourful fishing port of Tobermory, which offers a range of shops, cafes and pubs - as well as being home to the Tobermory Distillery at Ledaig. If you have a car, we can offer off-road parking for a couple of vehicles, and we also have parking space for two campervans (though we do not have water or electricity connections yet). PS: You are advised to come equipped for camping in wet conditions whatever the season - although we promise that the weather can be lovely too! We look forward to welcoming responsible, country-loving campers to The Fauld :-)

Hillside Meadows

4 units · Motorhomes, Tents5 acres · Fraserburgh, Scotland
If you wish to visit the north-east of Scotland with sandy and rocky beaches, magnificent cliffs, old lighthouses and famous whisky distilleries, Hillside Meadows is the place to stay. You can enjoy near wild camping experience provided by hosts Michal and Gosia, who are developing on site fully off-grid permaculture family farm. Don't be surprised to be welcomed to your temporary home by a wired-haired dachshund Dubby or woken up in the morning by Pablo the Cockrell. There are usually fresh quail and hen eggs available. The site is handily located just off the A981 Strichen-Memsie road. It makes the site easily accessible for camper vans and caravans owners. There might be some noise from passing traffic, but it’s hardly a distraction from your surroundings, rolling hills, open fields and woodlands. It goes without saying that our 5-acres site is ideal for self-sufficient campers. There are just a handful of pitches, well distanced from each other, tucked among the high grass meadows, which gives campers plenty of space and sense of privacy. Park up or pitch your tent. Then you can just relax and concentrate on the important stuff – like getting that campfire going! The basic facilities, including composting toilet and tap water (cold), are available on site if needed. Just 3 miles away from our site lies Fraserburgh, a little coastal town with a sandy beach, Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, as well as a range of convenience stores, shops, cafés, restaurants and bars. Within 5 miles from our site, you'll also find Waters of Philorth Nature Reserve, New Aberdour beach, Rattray old lighthouse, Strichen stone circle, Aden Country Park and more.

Campsites near Kingussie guide

Overview

Located within the Cairngorms National Park, the small town of Kingussie is in the very heart of the Scottish Highlands. It’s an ideal base for outdoor adventurers who will find plenty of opportunities for climbing, hiking, horseback riding, biking, white water rafting and more. The town also has a challenging 18-hole golf course, from which you can enjoy spectacular views of the national park. Campers have plenty of options in the area, from parking in a caravan site to pitching a tent in a peaceful forest.

Where to go

Newtonmore

Three miles west of Kingussie, the village of Newtonmore is popular with anglers and has cycle and walking trails offering views of the Cairngorm and Monadhliath mountain ranges. The quiet, family-run Invernahavon Caravan Site has excellent views of the mountains, forests and rivers and has spacious pitches with hook-ups for tourers, as well as tent pitches. South of the village, on a bend of the River Spey, the Spey Bridge Caravan and Camping Park has pitches for campervans and tents.

Glen Feshie

Nestled in the Glen Feshie woods, eight miles east of Kingussie and a 10-minute drive from the Highland Wildlife Centre, the Lagganlia Centre for Outdoor Education has a selection of basic camping pods with shared facilities. The center also has a variety of self-catering lodges suitable for groups.

Rothiemurchus

A 20-minute drive east, deeper into the Cairngorms National Park, the Rothiemurchus estate contains one of Britain’s largest areas of natural forest. Here, the tranquil Rothiemurcus Camp and Caravan Site offers the ideal combination of a semi-wilderness experience with plenty of creature comforts. The site has sheltered tent pitches and level pitches for caravans and motorhomes, all with electric hook-up. 

When to go

Summer is the Cairngorms National Park’s busiest season, bringing crowds and booked-up campsites. If planning to visit in the summer months, it’s a good idea to try to avoid school holidays and weekends. The area is a year-round destination, however. Spring can be a great time to enjoy water sports, hiking and climbing, free from crowds. From late February through March you can also enjoy skiing and other winter sports: this is also a good time to visit the Cairngorms Reindeer Centre.

Know before you go

  • Not all sites in the area open year-round: check opening dates before traveling.
  • Wild camping is legally allowed in Scotland if practiced responsibly under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
  • Kingussie is on the overnight Caledonian Sleeper railway line from London to Inverness. You can also reach Kingussie by public bus from Aviemore and Inverness.
  • From groceries to camping gear, you’ll likely find everything you need in the well-stocked shops of Aviemore, 10 miles away.
