Woodland glamping in Glenmore National Nature Reserve

·

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.

Woodland glamping in Glenmore National Nature Reserve guide

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
  • Public buses traveling between Aviemore and the Cairngorm Mountain Railway pass the visitor center. From Aviemore, Scotrail train services travel to Aberdeen, Glasgow and beyond.
