Surrounded by pine forests with views of gently rolling hills, Cairngorms Glamping & Campsite offers pitches and pods close to the River Don. This is a picturesque and gentle part of the Cairngorms National Park, near to everything you might come here to visit. There’s hiking and biking all around, castles, lochs, and whisky distilleries not far away. Balmoral is half an hour’s drive. Glenbuchat is 15 minutes. And then there's the campsite itself; open year round and with great family facilities—think playground, a seasonal food hut, and 'Critter Corner' where you can meet Jimmy the donkey and other animals.
Your furry friends are welcome too, as the site is dog friendly. In fact, it’s generally friendly and a relaxed place for a stay whether you’re in a tent, campervan, or motorhome. Campfires are allowed and off-ground fire pits are provided free of charge. So too are a few bikes, should you be here without your own. The site’s seven acres is split between two fields and home to almost 50 pitches. Most are off grid but there are a handful with electric hook up and connected water as well.
Facilities are pretty simple—a couple of flushing loos and hot water showers—but are added to in the summer when the site is at its busiest. Peak times also bring an on-site shop and a food hut serving bacon butties and burgers. This handy service, the two play areas (one free, one at a small extra charge) and Critter Corner, makes camping here with kids rather easy. To make it even easier and more relaxing, consider booking one of the site’s four pods. These come with beds and sleeping bags, cooking equipment, an en suite shower and loo—and, to top it all off, some of them have a private hot tub too.
A dog friendly, great place to chill and relax! Get a cuddle from the pygmy goats, feed Jimmy the donkey, you can even meet our alpacas. The kids have a large open space for running around, a couple of play areas and Swingball onsite for all. There is a seasonal site shop and food hut. Best of all, you will be surrounded by hills and the River Don.
