Dog-friendly glamping 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.
