Campsites near Brora

·

A favorite stop for roadtrippers making their way along the North Coast 500 driving route, the small Highland village of Brora is situated on a lovely stretch of Sutherland coastline. You can enjoy walks along the golden Brora Beach while keeping your eye out for dolphins, minke whales and seals. The village is a great base for enjoying the excellent golf courses in the area and it also lies along the 147-mile (237-kilometer) coastal walking route from Inverness to John o’ Groats, which traverses some of the Highland’s most scenic shorelines and cliff tops.

Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

8. Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

138km from Brora · 2 units · Glamping · Roy Bridge, Scotland
Glamping pods in a large garden alongside the river Roy A 10-minute drive from Loch Lochy and 20 minutes from Fort William Seating in the garden and kitchen and ensuites provided Right on the side of the river Roy, the Highland and Transylvania Glamping Pods is a properly cosy base in the Scottish Highlands. The large garden has a terrace, river views and a seating area, but perhaps the best bit is that it’s located a short drive from lochs, glens, rivers and long-distance trails. What might you get up to? Climbing, hill walking, mountain biking and water-based sports are all on the agenda in this area, but especially in Fort William (20 minutes’ drive) and Lochaber, which have been ascribed as a capital for outdoor adventures. Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, is also 20 minutes’ drive away. Even closer is Loch Lochy (10 minutes’ drive), which has access to part of the 79-mile Great Glen Way (around 10 minutes’ drive). From Fort William, start off on another long-distance trail, the West Highland Way, which stretches for 96 miles across the banks of Loch Lomond and ends in Milngavie. The pods here have been named after the places where the owners spent their childhood and continue to live. Feel free to stop off while travelling to or from the Isle of Skye (two hours and 10 minutes) or stay for a good while… Fort William’s centre has a splendid selection of pubs, restaurants, shops and a bus and rail station. Plus, there are lots of links courses for golfers a day trip away, like the Royal Dornoch (two hours and 25 minutes). Both pods have a small double bed (a bit narrower than a standard double) with all bed linen provided. The kitchen areas are equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster (crockery, cutlery and towels are handily provided). To keep things nice and tasty, the pods are also well insulated. The patio doors and the rear opening window are both double glazed and there are electric radiators to inject some extra heat into the kitchen and living area.

Where to go

Around the Town

Nestled in a sheltered site, just steps from the beach and with direct access to a golf course, the Brora Caravan Club Site offers grass and hardstanding pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes. A five-minute drive north of Brora’s center, it's a great location for those who want to get out into nature and enjoy swimming, fishing or spotting marine wildlife.

Helmsdale

North of Brora, the little Highland village of Helmsdale is well-known for its excellent salmon fishing and is home to a dramatic statue commemorating the Highland Clearances. A 10-minute drive north of Brora, the Crakaig Loth Campsite is a basic site with space for tents, caravans and motorhomes. 

Dornoch

Fifteen miles (24 kilometers) south of Brora, the elegant town of Dornoch is noted for both its fine architecture and its coastal scenery. Highlights include the 13th-century Dornoch Cathedral, nearby Dunrobin Castle and the Royal Dornoch, one of the best championship golf courses in Scotland. In the center of town, next to the golf course, Dornoch Caravan and Camping Park has plenty of electric and non-electric pitches for tourers and tents.

When to go

Most people visit between May and August in order to take advantage of long days and the best chance of sunny weather. The region does get busy in the summer months (especially July and August) with people touring the North Coast 500 driving route. Visiting in April or September is a good alternative as the crowds will be gone but the weather will likely still be mild. Winter visitors should note that days are short (the sun sets before 4 p.m. in December).

Know before you go

  • If choosing to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
  • Gas stations can be scarce along the NC500 so fill up before heading far.
  • Many campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
  • Brora railway station has services north to Wick via Thurso and south to Inverness. Local buses can get you to nearby attractions such as Helmsdale and Dunrobin Castle.
