Woodland campsites in Corrie Fee National Nature Reserve

Situated beneath the mountain peaks of Mayar and Driesh, Corrie Fee National Nature Reserve is a naturally sculpted amphitheatre of rocky landscape, surrounded by steep cliffs.The area is also an unexpected botanical paradise with rare arctic-alpine plants, such as alpine lady’s mantle and dwarf mountain willow, thriving in its harsh environment alongside wildlife including mountain hares, ptarmigans, snow buntings and the occasional golden eagle. The well-maintained walking path through Corrie Fee, which leads to the edge of Glen Doll Forest, is popular with hill walkers all year-round and its crags draw winter climbers. While there are no private campgrounds, the Forestry Commission has designated three wild tent camping spots in Glen Doll Forest: adjacent to Jock’s Road, in a former quarry above Acharn, and by the River South Esk south of Moulzie. All require a walk in.
