Camping & Holiday Parks in Scotland

Ah, Scotland. It was named top tourist destination for 2013 by CNN, has the biggest arts festival in the world in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, is crammed with battle sites, old castles, crags, mountain valleys, glens and tiny crofting communities – and has the world’s only malt whisky trail (samples of which we have researchingly included in our liquor cabinet).

Campsites in Scotland are as varied as the terrain, with camping pods near cities, wigwams overlooking lochs and holiday parks on the beach with lashings of on-site activities for the kids: look for a Scottish campsite or holiday park according to accommodation including caravans for hire and motorhome pitches, by theme such as family-friendly or by leisure on site or nearby. Each listing has details of local attractions and must-sees, and you can also check out what festivals are on in the area in every listing – or look at the festival finder on the Pitchup.com homepage. We’re off to the Edinburgh Fringe again, with a quick detour along the way to stock up more samples on the malt whisky tour.  By Laura Canning
