- Outdoor camp kitchen with firepits and log stools
What an ace site this is...tucked into the Findhorn Valley in rural Morayshire, with camping and glamping spots hidden all around, and loads to do right on site, including whitewater rafting, tubing, canoeing and kayaking, salmon fishing, paintball, disc golf…
Turn up with your other half, the family or your friends to stay some days here and take in the countryside, scenery and activities: there are plenty of scenic strolls around the surrounding countryside woodlands and river paths to spot deer, owls and other native birds or red squirrels (the team recommends wanders in the early morning or the evenings for the best sightings).
There are woodland compost loos on site (the owners guarantee they're comfy and smell/fuss-free) and showers in a wood structure with instant gas heating for toasty woodland washing.
Guests can also use the outdoor camp kitchen, which has two communal firepits, a sink, a two-ring gas camp cooker, a huge table and several log stools sawn from a nearby fallen tree – now that's recycling… There's also a small shop on site selling camping essentials, drinks and chocolate (another essential).
Open from 01/04/2017 to 31/10/2017

Check availability at Ace Hideaways…
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Hey Caitlin! Thanks for the review. We are working on getting flushing toilets, but the compost toilets makes you appreciate the one you have at home, don't they? And they are Eco-friendly :-) Hope you girls get great exam results - i'm sure you will! Tracey & Kim |

Local attractions
You'll probably want to stay on site for a few days to try out all the activities right on site (we rather fancy the frisbee golf), but once ready to explore the area, another plethora of things to see and do is within easy reach.
Take the walk from Ace to the nearby beauty spot of Randolph's Leap (we rather fancy this too) and on to the Logie Steading Visitor Centre with its café, artisan shops, play park, heritage centre and the Logie House Gardens for starters…
Other options in the immediate area are visiting the pretty local town of Forres (did you know this is where Duncan''s castle was in the Scottish play?) and some most excellent salmon and trout fishing on the River Findhorn.
The art and antiques of Brodie Castle are just outside Forres, or your crew could take a wildlife trip around Moray Firth to see dolphins, whales, porpoises, sharks, seals and flocks of seabirds. Nairn Beach, where a school of dolphins are often visible from the coastline, is about eight and a half miles from your ace base.
