The Loft Glamping and 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 have been reppurposed 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. We also now take bookings for caravans. We do not have fully service pitches
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 and Camping looks forward to welcoming you throughout the year!

2 nights at Aberdeenshire Airstream
The Airstream is an absolute beauty and an amazing place to stay. A nice bbq allows for some outdoor cooking and when inside, the record player sets the mood. A nice walk to the moors with amazing views of the Cairngorms can be done right from the doorstep.

One of the nicest campsites I've ever been to. Extremely remote, but the road leading up is easy to do even with a city car. The hike to Scoraig lighthouse from the campsite is one I'll never forget. The bothy serving as common room is great, nice to get some shelter to prep a meal and relax.

Cairngorm Glamping 🩷. This is a beautiful place to stay, with friendly, chilled hosts. Tucked in among the hills of Upper Donside, the view towards the Lecht is lovely … morning or evening. The surrounding countryside is magical. The site has several fields set up for tents / vans / Motorhomes, with or without services.
The animal park is very sweet, with goats who seem to spend all day teasing each other and an adorable donkey who wants to talk to everyone 🥰 … the zip-line park was popular with kids of all ages and there’s a food bothy if you don’t feel like cooking.
Shower and toilet facilities are clean and well located. They never seemed to be “busy” even though we were there before and during Lonach Gathering weekend.
Grey and waste water services are well placed for Motorhome access.
As a Scot who lives overseas, I love that places like Cairngorm Glamping exist. They showcase the scenery and provide camping access to areas of countryside that might otherwise be missed by visitors.
Just wish we’d had time to stay longer … but will return! 🥰🩷🙏

Absolutely stunning campsite - beautiful walk down to the loch which was just so clear and peaceful. Lovely little plots - just right for our campervan. Toilets and showers were clean and functional. Only downside was the midges - I would have loved to stay outside for longer but we had to retreat to the van. Highly recommended though.

It would take less time to write what didnt stand out.
This is the best, most well kept Campsite we have been to. The fields are really well kept with the most beautiful surroundings. Good Big pitching spaces. Facilities kept clean and always stocked. The Little Critter is a bloody brilliant idea, you can buy feed and go into the first pen and feed the goats, llama and alpaca. There is also a donkey, ponies and a horse, and some chickens.
The owners have 4 amazingly friendly dogs. So beautiful and love attntion. 2 of them stay in their garden an want you to throw the ball. Theres a wee shop if you need summit last minute.
The washing stations for dishes and the showers etc all have hot - YES - HOT water. There is a massice connect 4 game, swing sets, quiditch poles, a flying fox, an inground trampoline, a sandpit with toys, bikes and go karts all available for the kids and older kids etc. picnic tables.
They also provide off the ground fire pits, (there is no time that you have to put it out or get to bed, just be respectful) If you need wood you can take it and pay the next day.
Hot rolls and coffee are available in the morning to buy.
Robert and his wife and team are all absolutely lovely and nothing is too much. Robert even helped to move my sisters car off a ledge when she missed some signs saying to not turn 🫣😁.
The best part as if all of the above was not enough.... NAE MIDGES ❤️ Thank you so so much for an amazing wee break away.

Wir waren total überrascht, wie schön es dort war. Besonders wie kinderfreundlich es dort ist.
Ein riesiger, wunderschöner Ort in den Highlands mit lovely handsome critters :), unendlich wunderbaren Spielmöglichkeiten, netten Nachbarn und sauberen Sanitäranlagen.
Genau das richtige nach einer langen Fahrt mit Kindern.

A lovely quiet laid back site with stunning views of the mountains with a short walk down to the loch which gives you fantastic views back across the loch in both directions. Facilities met all my demands, the showers were very good, a Bothy to hand as well if the weather or the midges get to bad. 🤪
Fire pits provided but bring your own wood.
I fully recommend a stop here if you are in the area.

Campsites with private bathrooms near Wick guide
Where to go
Sinclair’s Bay
A short distance north of Wick, this long sandy bay has to be mentioned in any Scottish beach best-of list. It is a popular place for surfing and kiteboarding, and there are no fewer than three castles along its length. Backed by cliffs and sand dunes, parts can be quite sheltered for a wild camp; there are also camping pods near Nybster at the northern end.
Dunnet Head Nature Reserve
As extreme compass points go, John o’ Groats, Britain’s northeastern point, gets more attention but Dunnet Head, its northernmost point, is far more beautiful. This heathery moor scattered with small lochs is a Royal Society for the Protection of Birds reserve, and at the southern entrance is a superb farm campsite overlooking grassy cliffs and rock stacks.
Flow Country
This evocatively named region is a watery, miry no-man’s-land and Europe’s largest expanse of blanket bog, spanning 4,000 square kilometres, with Wick being one of the best access points. Forests and lochs also break up the scenery and keep it both interesting and very seldom visited. As only a couple of roads bisect this region this is a great opportunity to go off-piste and wild camp.
When to go
Wick is not in itself a travel hotspot, so do not expect either campgrounds or any other tourist facility to be open outside of the Easter to September high season. In any case, outside of this period, weather is likely to be unsuitable for camping, with high winds and torrential rain common and shelter limited. July and August generally see the warmest (or least cold!) weather but temperatures above 20°C (68°F) are rare even so.
Know before you go
- Most of Flow Country constitutes one of the UK’s remotest regions—great for wild camping, bad for facilities of any description.
- Wick and Thurso are the best places to stock up on camping essentials, but neither have dedicated outdoors stores. For a dedicated shop, stop in Inverness.
- Wick is connected by train to Inverness, as is Thurso. Northeast Scotland’s two biggest towns have no direct train connection, but good bus connections. Altnabreac station (on the Inverness to Thurso line) delivers you right to the middle of Flow Country.
