Weekend Trip to Fernlea - Campsite & Pod

Staying at Bruce’s house was an absolute pleasure! He was so incredibly helpful and kind and the pod is perfect. I would live there for the rest of my life if I could! The kitchen is great. The hot tub is beyond belief and so good that it’s almost intoxicating. When my boyfriend and I accidentally reset the Internet, Bruce was beyond kind and helpful. Next time I’m in this area I will for sure Be staying here again.

2 nights at Bamburgh Under Canvas

Beautiful quiet site. The tent felt entirely private/separate from the few others on the site. Well equipped and comfortable. Perfectly located for exploring the North East coast. Campbell was really helpful and made our stay great. Couldn't recommend more!

2 nights at Pirnie Lodge Farm

From the minute we arrived Anne was welcoming and gave us all the information to do with the lodge, the lodge itself was spotless and felt homely from the minute we walked in. Anne also left a welcome pack which was an added bonus, the hot tub was ready on arrival and Anne also shown us how to use this before leaving Anne gave us recommendations on places to visit and where we could go for days out, we were recommended the milk barn which was delicious, the ice cream and milkshakes were perfect! We would also recommend going there! Thank you Anne, we love our stays

Glamping with hot tubs near Forfar guide

Where to go

Forfar Loch

Forfar’s tranquil loch is the ideal setting for a relaxing walk and within easy walking distance of the town centre. On the edge of the loch, Forfar Lochside Club Site has grass and hardstanding pitches for tourers as well as grass tent pitches. A few minutes east of town, Foresterseat Caravan Park has plenty of pitches as well as a glamping hut.

Glamis

Just a 10-minute drive west of Forfar, the small village of Glamis is famed for its Glamis Castle, setting for Macbeth. The village itself is home to a collection of quaint cottages and a few unique businesses. A five-minute drive north of Glamis, Drumshademuir Caravan and Camping Park offers a selection of well-appointed glamping pods.

Brechin

Twenty minutes northeast of Glamis, Brechin draws history lovers with its medieval cathedral, which has a rare surviving 11th-century round tower, and Brechin Townhouse Museum. Visitors can get outside at Brechin Castle Centre, which has sprawling parkland to explore. Nearby, Gardener’s Cottage Campsite has spacious pitches in a secluded location at the foot of the Angus Glens.

When to go

Spring and summer are the best seasons for Forfar and the surrounding Angus region. Daylight hours are long from May through August and you’ll typically enjoy mild to warm temperatures. Summer can, however, bring crowds and booked-up campsites—try to avoid weekends and the school summer holidays in July and early August. Although autumns can be wet and chilly, the season does let you avoid crowds and enjoy the sight of the countryside ablaze in rich colours.

Know before you go

Wild camping is legal throughout Scotland as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
Most organised campsites in the area are open only seasonally: Check dates if planning to travel outside of peak season.
You can reach Forfar by bus from Dundee, which is connected to Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond by both bus and train.
There are a few small supermarkets in Forfar but for larger purchases and camping gear, visit the bustling High Street of Dundee.
