Campsites with fishing in Insh Marshes National Nature Reserve

·

Encompassing five miles (eight kilometers) of floodplain between Kingussie and Kincraig, Insh Marshes Nature Reserve is said to be one of the most important wetland areas in Europe. The reserve is protected by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and supports populations of breeding waders including curlew, lapwing, redshank and snipe. Visitors can  follow two trails around the reserve to bird hides and viewpoints. While there is no campsite in the nature reserve, the Spey Bridge Caravan and Camping Park, a 10-minute drive south, sits on a bend of the River Spey and has pitches for campervans and tents.

Kinloss, Scotland · 12 units · Tents, Motorhomes
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!

When to go

The reserve is open all year-round and its resident birdlife varies throughout the year. Spring and summer are the best seasons for seeing the breeding waders as well as ospreys fishing in Loch Insh and the River Spey. In fall, winter migrants, including whooper swans and greylag geese, arrive from Iceland, while in winter you can see ducks including wigeon and tufted duck, as well as roosting hen harriers.

Know before you go
