  • Glampsite with spectacular mountain views near Blairgowrie, Perthshire
  • A 20-minute drive to Glenshee Ski Centre in Cairngorms National Park
  • Insulated accommodation pods; heated communal bothy with full kitchen
With spectacular Perthshire views to the peak of Schiehallion and snug-as-a-bug, cosy accommodation, you should certainly be in for a splendid stay at Glenshee Glamping near Blairgowrie. Run as a sustainable site for many years, it beckons guests looking for a peaceful stay in a gorgeous corner of Scotland as well as a comfy base for outdoor adventures. And what about amenities? Spick-and-span showers are all heated and insulated with lashings of hot water to come back to after a day on the hills. The heated communal bothy is kitted out with a woodburning stove as well as full cooking and dining facilities. When the weather’s playing ball, grill up a barbecue on the firepit and eat alfresco on your personal picnic benches. At 15 minutes’ drive from the scenic Cairngorms National Park, the site is in pole position for outdoor adventures ranging from hill walking to skiing and kayaking. Not feeling the urge to get out and about? There’s plenty of room for the kids to run around in safety on site – but just remember to bring a sledge in case of snow during winter stays. In summer, you can simply laze around all day long, taking in those mountain views, or ask to meet the animals any time of year – after all who can resist cuddly donkeys, llamas, goats, free-range ducks and chickens? Talking of animals, any well-behaved four-legged friends are welcome, but please keep them on a lead while you’re on site.

What customers say

This family-run site offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, with spacious, private pitches. Visitors consistently praise the exceptional cleanliness of the facilities, including modern bathrooms with showers. The friendly and helpful owners are a highlight, as is the presence of various animals like llamas and donkeys, which are particularly enjoyed by children.

Absolutely amazing views, prime location, extremely clean bathrooms with shower and heating something my little one loved :)
No matter which spot you'll get, views guaranteed. Family friendly. We can't wait to come back for a longer stay and use the hot bath with views :)

Mulberry cabin (six person)

Liked We were 5 of us and we stayed at Glenshee Glamping in their Mulberry cabin. It had all the facilities you would want and was we enjoyed our stay here thoroughly. Their kitchen and bathroom facilities were clean and very well equipped. The bothys have plenty of cooking equipment and the beds are super comfortable with warm wood fired heating. I also highly recommend it for families to travel along with kids since there's lots of animals like chicken, rabit, goats, sheep, donkeys and Lamas to name a few. Nathan is a very friendly host too.

Disliked Nothing i could think of. However a microwave oven in the bothy would have been a nice addition.

Local attractions

In a dither about what to do first? You can soon be out and about all day long around this part of Scotland… hill walking or trail running, rock climbing or mountain biking, wild swimming or kayking, hiking through forests and around lochs – call Outdoor Explore (20 minutes’ drive) and they’ll organise everything for you. And that’s just in the warmer months… when it’s colder, Glenshee Ski Centre is 20 minutes’ drive north for snowboarding, cross-country and downhill skiing, as well as lessons for complete novices and gear hire too. For a tour of mighty baronial castles, perhaps begin at Balmoral (50 minutes), the Scottish home of the Royal Family and open (when the King isn’t staying, anyway) for tours of its surprisingly homely rooms and walks along the River Dee. Other historic residences to visit include Scone Palace (50 minutes), where Scottish kings were once crowned, and Blair Atholl (35 minutes), home of Scotland’s only private army, the Atholl Highlanders, and an exceptional collection of weaponry.
