Aurora borealis over our reception/shop.

Countryside park with a pretty pond, Bronze Age monument and dog walks
Nairn town and beach within 10 minutes’ drive, and Inverness in 25
On-site shop selling local products and gas; fishing; barbecue area

If hotfooting it over to the Highlands is a travel plan of yours in the near future, there’s a splendid space for you at Barrow Campsite on the banks of the river Nairn. This park is also a 10-minute drive from Nairn’s town and beach, in a secluded landscape with hillside views; come in spring to see swathes of the peaceful area carpeted in bluebells. Warmer weather’s your best chance of firing up the barbecue too – a dedicated area is on site if you’re keen on cooking over coals. There's a shop on site which stocks all of the essentials, such as local meats and eggs, confectionary, ice creams, charcoal, fire wood and alcohol. A supermarket is also about a 10-minute drive away. Waterside walks with the pooch appeal? Potter around the pond at this dog-friendly park or roam beside the river; you could also fish from the water (just make sure to pick up a permit at a local shop in Nairn first). Once you’ve had enough of angling, trot back in time by exploring the Bronze Age barrow on site, the Hangman's Cairn. Arriving at the park by bike? There's a handy bike rack beside the common room and owner Ewan’s on hand to give top tips on biking routes around the area.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked: Lovely location with great views over open countryside. Good shower and toilet facilities. Lovely little shop/reception. Wardens were all really friendly and helpful. The pitches was a really good size, more than adequate for caravan and car and an awning if wanted. Nice dog walk on the site. Really enjoyed our short stay and would definitely use again if visiting this area. Cawdor castle well worth a visit and only few miles from the site.

Disliked: This isn't a dislike but a warning - some narrow lanes around this area so be really careful to check out route if towing and follow instructions. Don't let sat nav take you up Nairn high street (ours tried to even though set for car and caravan), luckily we ignored it and followed website instructions.

Local attractions

Historical hotspots are rife in this part of Scotland – hike to Cawdor Castle and Gardens in an hour and a half, then travel to Culloden Battlefield visitor centre and interactive exhibition (15 minutes' drive) to see the setting of the famed Jacobite Rising’s last battle. The 18th-century Fort George is about the same distance for gazing at an awe-inspiring selection of arms, including muskets, pikes and ammunition pouches. More places to poke around in the past – from museums to castles – are in Inverness (25 minutes), which is also the gateway to Loch Ness (45 minutes). Drive or dawdle along the banks while trying to catch a glimpse of the fabled monster, stopping by the ruins of Castle Urquhart (55 minutes) for pretty pics with the water in the background. To get out on the water, dolphin spotting and sea fishing tours leave from Inverness and sail through the Moray Firth, while the northern edges of the Cairngorms National Park are around 40 minutes away for terrific treks in this classic Scottish landscape. Head deeper into the area for the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre (an hour away), then round off the trip with a tour and tasting of some of Scotland’s finest whisky at the Knockando distillery (55 minutes).
