Campsites with campfires near Kingussie guide

Where to go

Newtonmore

Three miles west of Kingussie, the village of Newtonmore is popular with anglers and has cycle and walking trails offering views of the Cairngorm and Monadhliath mountain ranges. The quiet, family-run Invernahavon Caravan Site has excellent views of the mountains, forests and rivers and has spacious pitches with hook-ups for tourers, as well as tent pitches. South of the village, on a bend of the River Spey, the Spey Bridge Caravan and Camping Park has pitches for campervans and tents.

Glen Feshie

Nestled in the Glen Feshie woods, eight miles east of Kingussie and a 10-minute drive from the Highland Wildlife Centre, the Lagganlia Centre for Outdoor Education has a selection of basic camping pods with shared facilities. The center also has a variety of self-catering lodges suitable for groups.

Rothiemurchus

A 20-minute drive east, deeper into the Cairngorms National Park, the Rothiemurchus estate contains one of Britain’s largest areas of natural forest. Here, the tranquil Rothiemurcus Camp and Caravan Site offers the ideal combination of a semi-wilderness experience with plenty of creature comforts. The site has sheltered tent pitches and level pitches for caravans and motorhomes, all with electric hook-up. 

When to go

Summer is the Cairngorms National Park’s busiest season, bringing crowds and booked-up campsites. If planning to visit in the summer months, it’s a good idea to try to avoid school holidays and weekends. The area is a year-round destination, however. Spring can be a great time to enjoy water sports, hiking and climbing, free from crowds. From late February through March you can also enjoy skiing and other winter sports: this is also a good time to visit the Cairngorms Reindeer Centre.

Know before you go

  • Not all sites in the area open year-round: check opening dates before traveling.
  • Wild camping is legally allowed in Scotland if practiced responsibly under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
  • Kingussie is on the overnight Caledonian Sleeper railway line from London to Inverness. You can also reach Kingussie by public bus from Aviemore and Inverness.
  • From groceries to camping gear, you’ll likely find everything you need in the well-stocked shops of Aviemore, 10 miles away.
