Moss Wood has a range of facilities. Park on the shore-side where the coast can be enjoyed or at the main entrance, and take a walk up through Moss Wood along the Poetry Trail. A steep walk in places, the Poetry Trail is a loop punctuated with places to stop and read, to stop and think. Read nature poetry from throughout the ages, stop at the Blether Stane, or taking the spur to the Viewing Point back south across the Kyles. Moss Wood connects to the West Island Way – take the Poetry Trail and the spur to the Viewing Point – and then take the Stag’s Trod further up (steeply) till you reach the West Island Way. From there, head south towards Port Bannatyne or north along the boundary of the Community Forest.

16. Cosy Caravan in Roshven

106km from Kingussie · 1 unit · Glamping
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.

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.
