  • Carefully crafted camping pods 12 miles from Inverness
  • In a forest above Loch Ness
  • Heating, electric, mattresses and insulation in all pods
A little piece of pod heaven in the Scottish Highlands: say aye. Camping Pod Heaven is in the village of Abriachan, 12 miles from Inverness, above Loch Ness and with plenty of local walking trails to wander from one's poddy base. And its scenery and setting are pretty heavenly too: have you seen the site pics...? All the pods here are big enough to comfortably fit four adults and come with mattresses, an electric socket, heating and a private entrance. Wifi is available on site. Around the site, podders will find barbecues, covered picnic tables and seating area, and a firepit with more seating. The bathroom is shared and is a short distance from the pods.

Camping pod

Liked: Beautiful setting and pods and super friendly staff. Facilities were always spotless. 10 year old loved the swing!

Disliked: The first night I didn’t sleep well as I think the cleaning product or wood smell irritated my nose/ lungs but resolved by airing the pod out a bit! Didn’t put me off- id just air it before bed in future!
