  • 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: wonderful and peaceful stay up in the mountains, super quiet and respectful guests. The camping pod was clean with a light and a small radiator. There was spare camping equipment to use while you stayed there which was good because we forgot plates!

Disliked: I did text the owners (as they gave me their number for anything we needed) and had asked them if they had any matches as we had run out of ours to light our camping stove. I never got a reply from them, which is as fine as we found someone on the campsite that could lend us their lighter. I do think they should have replied however.
