Weekend Trip to Aberdeenshire Airstream

Stuart really put thought and effort into making the Airstream and area into an amazing place to stay. With a deck, gas BBQ, firepit and lots of spots to sit outside it makes for a very relaxed time away. The area is very quiet but there is lots to see and do that's not very far. Truly a great host, it was a pleasure to stay there.

3 nights at Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

The pod was very clean and organized. The hosts came in and tidied up and left clean towels just like a hotel. They also gave us a tour when we got there and explained how the shower and door lock works instead of us having to use trial and error. The pod has plenty of storage space under the bed and all of the appliances work. Definitely will stay there again. The space is okay for two people, but probably not three.

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 with private bathrooms near Forres guide

Overview

Located in what is said to be one of the sunniest areas in Scotland, the small Highland town of Forres is blessed with beautiful beaches and steeped in history. It’s home to the 16th-century Brodie Castle, the gardens of which bloom in spring with more than 100 types of daffodil. Forres is located close to the family favourite town of Nairn, set on the Moray Firth, which offers wildlife-watching opportunities, including dolphins, minke whales, seals and a variety of birdlife. There are plenty of nearby opportunities for such activities as sailing, white water rafting and canoeing.

Where to go

Findhorn

Five miles (eight kilometres) north of Forres, the village of Findhorn spreads around Findhorn Bay, a popular spot for sailing and other water sports. The village has a lovely beach and the nearby stretch of coast and countryside called Culbin Sands, Forest and Findhorn Bay is great for wildlife watching, walking and watersports. Overlooking Findhorn Bay, Findhorn Bay Holiday Park has pitches for tents and tourers, as well as glamping pods, chalets, cabins and static caravans.

Nairn

A 15-minute drive or train journey east of Forres, the little town of Nairn has three beautiful sandy beaches, as well as two championship golf courses. Family-friendly Nairn Lochloy Holiday Park has pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents close to the beach. Peaceful Barns Highland offers spacious pitches, as well as a couple of glamping pods and a communal bothy, on a working farm and, nestled in a forest, Nairn Camping and Caravanning Club also has sites for caravans and tents.

Dunphail

Around eight miles (14 kilometres) south, the Findhorn Valley is an off-the-beaten-path glen surrounded by steep cliffs and filled with birdlife, especially raptors such as golden eagles, kestrels and osprey. Here, Ace Hideaways offers campsites surrounded by nature, as well as glamping in spacious bell tents and furnished shepherd's huts.

When to go

The Scottish Highlands are spectacular at any time of year, but the weather is at its best from May to September. Peak season, however, brings larger visitor numbers and the dreaded midges—small, persistent biting insects that have ruined many a holiday. For good (although possibly cool) weather, fewer crowds and no midges, aim for a May or September visit. If planning to visit in the height of summer, try to at least avoid school holidays and weekends.

Know before you go

Not all campsites are open year-round: check opening dates before travelling, especially if visiting outside of the spring and summer.
Wild camping is legal in Scotland as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
Forres train station has direct service to Inverness, Aberdeen and beyond. You can get around most nearby places of interest by bus or train.
