The Loft Glamping & Camping

12 units · Motorhomes, Tents5 acres · Kinloss, Scotland
The Loft Glamping & 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 are also perfectly appointed 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. Unfortunately we do not take bookings for caravans. 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 & Camping looks forward to welcoming you throughout the year!

Hillside Meadows

4 units · Motorhomes, Tents5 acres · Fraserburgh, Scotland
If you wish to visit the north-east of Scotland with sandy and rocky beaches, magnificent cliffs, old lighthouses and famous whisky distilleries, Hillside Meadows is the place to stay. You can enjoy near wild camping experience provided by hosts Michal and Gosia, who are developing on site fully off-grid permaculture family farm. Don't be surprised to be welcomed to your temporary home by a wired-haired dachshund Dubby or woken up in the morning by Pablo the Cockrell. There are usually fresh quail and hen eggs available. The site is handily located just off the A981 Strichen-Memsie road. It makes the site easily accessible for camper vans and caravans owners. There might be some noise from passing traffic, but it’s hardly a distraction from your surroundings, rolling hills, open fields and woodlands. It goes without saying that our 5-acres site is ideal for self-sufficient campers. There are just a handful of pitches, well distanced from each other, tucked among the high grass meadows, which gives campers plenty of space and sense of privacy. Park up or pitch your tent. Then you can just relax and concentrate on the important stuff – like getting that campfire going! The basic facilities, including composting toilet and tap water (cold), are available on site if needed. Just 3 miles away from our site lies Fraserburgh, a little coastal town with a sandy beach, Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, as well as a range of convenience stores, shops, cafés, restaurants and bars. Within 5 miles from our site, you'll also find Waters of Philorth Nature Reserve, New Aberdour beach, Rattray old lighthouse, Strichen stone circle, Aden Country Park and more.

Camping in Glenmore National Nature Reserve guide

Overview

Under the shadow of the magnificent Cairngorms Mountains, in the very heart of the national park, Glenmore Forest Park is home to centuries-old Caledonian pinewoods and is a playground for outdoor adventurers. You can hike into the hills from the Sugarbowl; follow trails from the visitor center through ancient forest, and canoe, windsurf or sail 1,000 feet (305 metres) above sea level on Loch Morlich or simply relax on its long, sandy beach. Come winter, you can take to the slopes on skis or a snowboard or snow shoe through the snowy landscape. Camping is not permitted in recreational areas, but visitors can stay overnight at Glenmore campsite, within the park.

When to go

Glenmore Forest Park offers an abundance of year-round activities, from hiking through ancient forest and kayaking and sailing on Loch Morlich in the spring and summer, to cross-country skiing in the winter. The park, and the surrounding Cairngorms National Park, is one of Scotland’s top outdoor attractions and can get busy during the height of summer. If possible, try planning your trip to avoid visiting during school holidays and on summer weekends.

Know before you go

  • Facilities in the park include a visitor centre, coffeeshop and restrooms. 
  • Small biting midges are a common and persistent summertime nuisance in the Scottish Highlands. It’s a good idea to wear long sleeves and bring insect repellent
  • Public buses traveling between Aviemore and the Cairngorm Mountain Railway pass the visitor center. From Aviemore, Scotrail train services travel to Aberdeen, Glasgow and beyond.
