Weekend Trip to Walkmill Campsite

I loved the campsite. The plots were very spacious and not at all crammed in, so there was lots of room for my toddler to run around in. The facilities were good as there was a static caravan with a kitchen, bathroom, toilet and even a couple of lounge areas, which would be useful if you got bad weather. It was so handy having the use of a hot water for washing up. I would definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to Cairngorms Glamping and Campsite

Cairngorm Glamping 🩷. This is a beautiful place to stay, with friendly, chilled hosts. Tucked in among the hills of Upper Donside, the view towards the Lecht is lovely … morning or evening. The surrounding countryside is magical. The site has several fields set up for tents / vans / Motorhomes, with or without services. The animal park is very sweet, with goats who seem to spend all day teasing each other and an adorable donkey who wants to talk to everyone 🥰 … the zip-line park was popular with kids of all ages and there’s a food bothy if you don’t feel like cooking. Shower and toilet facilities are clean and well located. They never seemed to be “busy” even though we were there before and during Lonach Gathering weekend. Grey and waste water services are well placed for Motorhome access. As a Scot who lives overseas, I love that places like Cairngorm Glamping exist. They showcase the scenery and provide camping access to areas of countryside that might otherwise be missed by visitors. Just wish we’d had time to stay longer … but will return! 🥰🩷🙏

We loved tent camping at Walkmill, the site was beautifully maintained in a stunning location near the river. Plenty of wildlife to enjoy while sat around the fire pit - we saw a barn owl and hares during our two night stay. The pitches were well spaced out and the site shop had everything you might need in a pinch -we recommend bringing cash for the honesty box. The location is a 45min walk to Warkworth Castle and the coast/coastal path so there is plenty to keep you busy. We are looking forward to coming back!

It would take less time to write what didnt stand out. This is the best, most well kept Campsite we have been to. The fields are really well kept with the most beautiful surroundings. Good Big pitching spaces. Facilities kept clean and always stocked. The Little Critter is a bloody brilliant idea, you can buy feed and go into the first pen and feed the goats, llama and alpaca. There is also a donkey, ponies and a horse, and some chickens. The owners have 4 amazingly friendly dogs. So beautiful and love attntion. 2 of them stay in their garden an want you to throw the ball. Theres a wee shop if you need summit last minute. The washing stations for dishes and the showers etc all have hot - YES - HOT water. There is a massice connect 4 game, swing sets, quiditch poles, a flying fox, an inground trampoline, a sandpit with toys, bikes and go karts all available for the kids and older kids etc. picnic tables. They also provide off the ground fire pits, (there is no time that you have to put it out or get to bed, just be respectful) If you need wood you can take it and pay the next day. Hot rolls and coffee are available in the morning to buy. Robert and his wife and team are all absolutely lovely and nothing is too much. Robert even helped to move my sisters car off a ledge when she missed some signs saying to not turn 🫣😁. The best part as if all of the above was not enough.... NAE MIDGES ❤️ Thank you so so much for an amazing wee break away.

Where to go

Around Town

Outdoor enthusiasts staying in the Falkland area can embark on a number of low-level walks in the nearby Lomond Hills Regional Park. History lovers and wildlife watchers alike will enjoy Loch Leven, home to the ruins of a castle associated with Mary Queen of Scots as well as an abundance of bird life, from osprey in summer to pink-footed geese in autumn. Basic tent and small van camping is available at the tranquil and family friendly campsite at Pillars of Hercules Organic Farm.

Markinch

Walkers can follow in the footsteps of monks in the small village of Markinch, 10 minutes south of Falkland. The village is situated on the Fife Pilgrim Way, a 65-mile (105-kilometre) walking route. The former estate ground of Balbirnie Park is another option for less-challenging strolls over its 416 acres of parkland and woodland gardens. Here, the Balbirnie Caravan Club Site offers plenty of grass and hardstanding pitches for vans, as well as a handful of tent pitches.

Cupar

Heading 10 miles east of Falkland takes you into the gentle hills and low-lying valley of the River Eden, which surrounds the picturesque medieval town of Cupar. Set on 90 acres of rural farmland, Ring Farms offers a peaceful camping experience in its tent, van and motorhome sites, as well as a handful of glamping pods.

When to go

With optimal weather and long daylight hours, the best time to visit Fife is from May through September: note that the summer school holidays (July/August) may bring crowds and booked-up spots. September promises cooler, though reasonable, temperatures and fewer crowds.

Know before you go

Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before travelling.
If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
Falkland is well-served by public buses and nearby train stations in Cupar and Markinch offer connections to Perth, Edinburgh and beyond.
You can find basic supplies in Falkland, but will find bigger shops in Glenrothes, 10 miles south.
