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!

One of the nicest campsites I've ever been to. Extremely remote, but the road leading up is easy to do even with a city car. The hike to Scoraig lighthouse from the campsite is one I'll never forget. The bothy serving as common room is great, nice to get some shelter to prep a meal and relax.

Cairngorm Glamping 🩷. This is a beautiful place to stay, with friendly, chilled hosts. Tucked in among the hills of Upper Donside, the view towards the Lecht is lovely … morning or evening. The surrounding countryside is magical. The site has several fields set up for tents / vans / Motorhomes, with or without services.
The animal park is very sweet, with goats who seem to spend all day teasing each other and an adorable donkey who wants to talk to everyone 🥰 … the zip-line park was popular with kids of all ages and there’s a food bothy if you don’t feel like cooking.
Shower and toilet facilities are clean and well located. They never seemed to be “busy” even though we were there before and during Lonach Gathering weekend.
Grey and waste water services are well placed for Motorhome access.
As a Scot who lives overseas, I love that places like Cairngorm Glamping exist. They showcase the scenery and provide camping access to areas of countryside that might otherwise be missed by visitors.
Just wish we’d had time to stay longer … but will return! 🥰🩷🙏

Absolutely stunning campsite - beautiful walk down to the loch which was just so clear and peaceful. Lovely little plots - just right for our campervan. Toilets and showers were clean and functional. Only downside was the midges - I would have loved to stay outside for longer but we had to retreat to the van. Highly recommended though.

It would take less time to write what didnt stand out.
This is the best, most well kept Campsite we have been to. The fields are really well kept with the most beautiful surroundings. Good Big pitching spaces. Facilities kept clean and always stocked. The Little Critter is a bloody brilliant idea, you can buy feed and go into the first pen and feed the goats, llama and alpaca. There is also a donkey, ponies and a horse, and some chickens.
The owners have 4 amazingly friendly dogs. So beautiful and love attntion. 2 of them stay in their garden an want you to throw the ball. Theres a wee shop if you need summit last minute.
The washing stations for dishes and the showers etc all have hot - YES - HOT water. There is a massice connect 4 game, swing sets, quiditch poles, a flying fox, an inground trampoline, a sandpit with toys, bikes and go karts all available for the kids and older kids etc. picnic tables.
They also provide off the ground fire pits, (there is no time that you have to put it out or get to bed, just be respectful) If you need wood you can take it and pay the next day.
Hot rolls and coffee are available in the morning to buy.
Robert and his wife and team are all absolutely lovely and nothing is too much. Robert even helped to move my sisters car off a ledge when she missed some signs saying to not turn 🫣😁.
The best part as if all of the above was not enough.... NAE MIDGES ❤️ Thank you so so much for an amazing wee break away.

The pods were clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Unfortunately the fly screen for our door was broken so it was a choice of being gnawed on by midges or being very hot- we chose the heat which was a bit uncomfortable but a fan had been provided which helped. The views were incredible of the loch and mountains and the walking and cycling just stunning. It's a little public with it being next to the main path but if you aren't looking for seclusion then it's fine and we found it vibrant and interesting watching the boats and people coming and going. The food in the cafe was excellent and we enjoyed the take away option, it does close fairly early so best to get there before 5:15pm. All in all it was a beautiful spot and very good accommodation and we had a brilliant time.

Wildlife-watching campsites near Aviemore guide
Where to go
Around Town
Visitors overnighting in Aviemore can enjoy the feel of a wilderness getaway while having easy access to the town’s shops, pubs and restaurants. Nestled in a quiet, wooded area but just a 20-minute walk from the center of town, Oakwood Caravan and Camping Park has hard standing pitches for caravans/motorhomes, as well as three small tent areas. Those (such as tired skiers) looking for a more comfortable, upscale experience can stay in a heated pod at Eriskay B&B and Glamping, close to the centre of town.
Rothiemurchus
A 12-minute drive south of town, the Rothiemurchus estate contains one of Britain’s largest areas of natural forest. At the heart of the estate is a campsite with sheltered tent pitches as well as level pitches for touring caravans and motorhomes, all with electric hook-up. The site offers a wilderness experience, surrounded by Caledonian pine trees, with the convenience of modern facilities.
Loch Morlich
Less than a 20-minute drive southeast of Aviemore, freshwater Loch Morlich is home to a watersports centre from where you can embark on kayaking, sailing and windsurfing adventures. Glenmore Campsite has direct access to the loch’s shores and has plenty of pitches suitable for tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes.
When to go
Aviemore is a year-round destination, though most visitors arrive in summer when the days are long and relatively warm. Spring and summer are best for enjoying water sports and hiking. Snowfall is typically heaviest from late February through March, making it the best time for skiing and other winter activities (if possible try to avoid the school half-term holidays in February).
Know before you go
- Not all campsites in the area are open all year: check opening dates before travelling.
- The weather is changeable, even in summer. Come prepared with warm, waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear.
- Small biting midges are a common summertime nuisance in the Scottish Highlands. It’s a good idea to bring insect repellent.
- Scotrail train services link Aviemore with Aberdeen, Glasgow and beyond. If travelling during summer or school holidays, it’s a good idea to book tickets in advance.
