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!

Campsites for hikers in Black Isle guide

Overview

Contrary to its name, the Black Isle is a fertile peninsula, surrounded by the Cromarty Firth to the north, the Beauly Firth to the south and the Moray Firth to the east. It’s a land rich in history and beauty and is an enchanting setting for adventures such as dolphin-watching, hiking, mountain biking and horse riding. The ever-popular North Coast 500 driving route goes through the Black Isle, so it can get busy in summer. Spring can be a good alternative to a summer visit as you’ll be able to dodge crowds, enjoy long days and spot dolphins. The Black Isle’s few organised campsites are clustered around Fortrose and Rosemarkie.

Where to go

Fortrose

Fortrose is the largest town in the Black Isle and has a beautiful stretch of beach. Close by, Learnie Red Rock has graded forest trails for mountain bikers. Campsites around Fortrose come with views over the Moray Firth.

Rosemarkie

At Chanonry Point, between Fortrose and Rosemarkie, bottlenose dolphins can often be seen frolicking in the Moray Firth. Pictish kings once ruled this land and today you can still see thousand-year-old carved Pictish stones in Rosemarkie at the Groam House Museum. Behind the village you’ll find Fairy Glen, a wooded glen with waterfalls. You can pitch a tent on the shores of the Moray Firth here.

Cromarty

On the tip of the peninsula, at the mouth of the Cromarty Firth, Cromarty is the Highlands' best preserved historic town, home to attractive Georgian merchant houses and whitewashed fishermen’s cottages. In the summer, you can take the tiny ferry over to Nigg across the Cromarty Firth.

Udale Bay

The second of the RSPB’s Black Isle reserves (after Fairy Glen), the tranquil, intertidal Udale Bay is home to thousands of waders, ducks, geese and fishing osprey from late summer until April. Visit in Autumn to see wintering birds, including thousands of pink-footed geese, arriving from Iceland, Greenland and beyond.
