Lovely family campsite, gorgeous views and plenty of amenities and essentials on site

Weekend Trip to Cairngorms Glamping and Campsite

A great campsite. We did not need to use the bathroom facilities as we were in a motorhome. Lovely and quiet which is exactly what we were looking for.

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!

Camping in Glenmore National Nature Reserve guide

Overview

Under the shadow of the magnificent Cairngorms Mountains, in the very heart of the national park, Glenmore Forest Park is home to centuries-old Caledonian pinewoods and is a playground for outdoor adventurers. You can hike into the hills from the Sugarbowl; follow trails from the visitor center through ancient forest, and canoe, windsurf or sail 1,000 feet (305 metres) above sea level on Loch Morlich or simply relax on its long, sandy beach. Come winter, you can take to the slopes on skis or a snowboard or snow shoe through the snowy landscape. Camping is not permitted in recreational areas, but visitors can stay overnight at Glenmore campsite, within the park.

When to go

Glenmore Forest Park offers an abundance of year-round activities, from hiking through ancient forest and kayaking and sailing on Loch Morlich in the spring and summer, to cross-country skiing in the winter. The park, and the surrounding Cairngorms National Park, is one of Scotland’s top outdoor attractions and can get busy during the height of summer. If possible, try planning your trip to avoid visiting during school holidays and on summer weekends.

Know before you go

Facilities in the park include a visitor centre, coffeeshop and restrooms.
Small biting midges are a common and persistent summertime nuisance in the Scottish Highlands. It’s a good idea to wear long sleeves and bring insect repellent
