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).
New for Summer 2026: Two rapid EV charging points are now available on site, making it easy to recharge your electric vehicle during your stay.
The Loft Glamping and Camping looks forward to welcoming you throughout the year!

Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod
7. Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod
18km from Fort William · 2 units
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.

Cosy Caravan in Roshven
8. Cosy Caravan in Roshven
39km from Fort William · 1 unit
This self-contained trailer has been a well loved part our home since 2010. We’re happy to welcome friends and visitors to stay in it from time to time.
A beautiful, wild and remote setting on the West Coast of Scotland. Peace and quiet! A useful stopover on the way to the Skye ferry. Cars/bikes and wellington boots are recommended. Eggs from our free range hens are available to buy. It is a drive to reach the small local shops/pubs. Walks to beaches and woods. We look forward to welcoming you.
The vintage caravan is a cosy, quiet, self-contained space positioned close by our house. It is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis. Through the windows you can glimpse mountains and trees. There’s a small double bedroom and another small bedroom that can be arranged either with a generous single or small twin beds that are ideal for young children. The living area has couches and a dining table. The kitchenette has all the basics, fridge, microwave and a gas cooker. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and toilet.
This self-catering accommodation has its own private lockable entrance. Guests have access to the caravan, garden, and driveway.
Nearest shops/pubs are a 20-30min DRIVE away - it's a good idea to bring everything you need as the road is long and you may not feel like going out again!
Please let me know in advance if you require the small twin beds made up.
From the last week of May through to early September it is midge season in the Scottish Highlands, so be prepared to encounter these tiny biting flies - however, a light breeze and a stick of citronella incense is usually enough to disperse them! On still nights I strongly recommend that you keep the windows closed, otherwise you may find clouds of midges invade your space. There is a cooling fan to make warm evenings more comfortable.
A haven for creatives! During April and October we host artists’ residencies specially for socially engaged practitioners who would benefit from some time to rest and reconnect with nature. When you book via Hipcamp, a small community fee is added to your daily booking charge and this goes to support these residencies by helping to pay for logs for the wood stove during the artists' visits.

Escape to the Woods
Tucked away amongst the trees at Bowie Wood, our spacious 6m bell tent is a secluded woodland retreat designed for slowing down, switching off and reconnecting with nature.
Set on its own raised timber platform, the tent looks out into the woodland, with a covered awning creating a sheltered spot to sit outside with your morning coffee or simply listen to the forest around you.
Inside, natural coir flooring, a king-size bed and the warmth of a wood-burning stove create a cosy retreat whatever the Scottish weather decides to do.
This isn't a manicured campsite. You're staying within our woodland, surrounded by mature trees, mossy ground, ferns and wildlife. Red squirrels, roe deer, woodpeckers, buzzards and bats are all visitors to Bowie Wood, and after dark the woodland becomes wonderfully peaceful.
Follow the woodchip path back to your tent, light the stove, make a hot chocolate and settle in for the evening. On clear nights, step outside and look up — away from the bright lights of town, the woodland is a beautiful place for stargazing.
Although it feels hidden away, Bowie Wood is close to Stirling and makes a wonderful base for exploring central Scotland, from Stirling Castle and Bannockburn to the Ochil Hills, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.
Bowie Wood is an ongoing rewilding project, where we’re working to restore and enhance the woodland while allowing nature to flourish. You may notice areas of ongoing work around the wider site as we continue to improve habitats, paths and facilities. We aim to keep any disruption to guests to a minimum.
Come here for the quiet, the trees and the chance to experience something a little different.
Slow down. Light the fire. Sleep amongst the trees.

Remote and wonderful site, incredible views and lochside beach, well appointed bothy to support campers. Midges and rain notwithstanding, a perfect location for off-the-path camping! We even saw a golden eagle up close, as we drove up the approach single-track road. We will be back.

What a wonderful place! Jude was a fantastic hostess anticipating our every need. Ready with smidge to fight the midges, with dog towels when the tent got flooded and with lots of tips which made our stay very enjoyable despite the bad weather. We would definitely come again! Can’t recommend this place warmly enough!

Its a lovely rural location but also just outside Glasgow, a brilliant place to stop and rest if you're heading into the big hills.

Very pretty place surrounded by mountains and water. There is a creek flowing through which makes for nice background noise. I saw several birds there. There are some walks you can do but we got rain so didn’t get out. It was crowded but still quiet. Showers are tremendous. I’d definitely go back.

3 nights at St Conan's Escape
St. Conan's Escape was such a beautiful area to disappear into! The property manager, Hazel, did such a phenomenal job of preparing the space--it was so beautifully-decorated and clearly well-maintained that I could see this as the perfect experience for other solo travelers or couples looking for a beautiful location to sink into.
I found St. Conan's Escape when looking for a place to go off-grid for a couple of days in the midst of traveling, and it had everything I needed--all of the amenities including plenty of cookware, a bathroom and extremely comfortable bed, so that I could focus on my writing projects. What a beautiful scenery it's in, too! I woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the mountains in the distance and I was so sad to leave such a majestic view. I would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a new experience!

Where to go
South Fort William
Just south of town and ideally located at the foot of Ben Nevis, Glen Nevis Caravan and Camping Park is located on a forested Highland estate that spans 1,000 acres and is home to Scotland’s famed wooly Highland cows. The site offers electric and non-electric grass, open-field, hard standing and fully-serviced pitches, as well as camping pods and static caravans.
North Fort William
Two and a half miles north of Fort William’s town center, Ben Nevis Holiday Park is within walking distance of attractions including the Ben Nevis Distillery and Neptune’s Staircase, Britain’s longest staircase lock. The site has views of Ben Nevis from its grass and electric hard standing pitches for tents and motorhomes/campervans, and also offers a selection of static caravans and holiday lodges.
Corpach
Five miles north of Fort William, the village of Corpach lies on the north shore of Loch Linnhe, where it becomes Loch Eil. Otters, seals and porpoises are often seen here. The village has a range of accommodation options and staying here has the benefit of a quieter experience than in Fort William and fantastic views of Ben Nevis from the shoreline. Lochside grass and hardstanding pitches are available at Linnhe Lochside Holidays, as well as static caravans, chalets and lodges.
When to go
June through October is Fort William’s busiest season, which can mean crowded trails and booked-up sites. If you want to avoid the crowds, spring is a good time to visit. The landscape will be lush and, while the temperature will be cool, you’ll still be able to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and kayaking. You can climb Ben Nevis year-round, but only very experienced climbers should tackle it in the winter.
Know before you go
- Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before travelling.
- Wild camping is possible, but comes with responsibilities. Check the Scottish Outdoor Access Code website to find out more.
- You can reach Fort William by bus or train from Glasgow. There’s also a direct bus service from Fort William to the Isle of Skye (booking in advance, especially in summer, is recommended).
- There are plenty of places to buy food and gear in Fort William.
