Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked 5 stars – A wonderful stay for the whole family!
We stayed at Cairngorms Glamping on the 7–8th of July with our four children (6 of us in total), sleeping in our rooftop tent. It was a truly lovely experience!
The site is perfect for families – there’s so much for kids to enjoy: alpacas, goats, ponies, a football field, trampoline, swings, go-karts, and bikes. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, with stunning mountain views all around.
The place is clean, well-kept, and the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming.
We had a great time and would definitely recommend it to other families looking for a peaceful and fun getaway!
Always great

Liked Place is amazing my son always loves it. The use of bikes at hand. The dogs were my sons favourite. The animal farm is a must. Just a great place to go.
Disliked Nothing
Beautiful site let down by poor & limited toilet/shower facilities.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked The campsite layout is very good and set in beautiful landscape, although be prepared for quite a drive to castles/sights. The onsite animals were fun to watch. Very good spacing between tents/campervans and pitches were flat. Really not much noise given the large number of people on site on the weekend we visited and quiet after 11pm until 8am. Helpful and friendly onsite staff.
Disliked The site would have been at the top of those we have visited on mainland Scotland, however, the toilet/shower facilities sadly let down the site. Whilst we are seasoned campers and used to basic facilities, there was insufficient of both showers or toilets and the cleanliness was poor throughout our stay. (This may have been compounded by the number of children on site who perhaps are not so careful in their use). As the toilet, sink facilities and shower are in most cases contained in one cubicle, where someone was simply using the sink to brush their children's teeth no one could use the toilet or shower. Luckily it was sunny so standing around wasn't too bad. I am a little surprised that this hadn't been commented on more frequently by other users on Pitchup as it was a recurring topic raised by users of the site while we were there.

Liked What a brilliant site! So family friendly, great staff, hot shower and the wee shop and hot options were great. Kids loved the play park and getting to visit all the animals. Felt so safe as only small road alongside and plenty of space for children to play. We will be back!

Clean facilities & friendly staff.
Powered grass and earth site
Liked Beautiful scenery, the animals they have and the friendly owners. Will definitely be back.
Disliked The access road there is tight ( no fault of the camp site). Best to come in from Bellabeg as road is not as torturous as the other end (if caravan or large motorhome).
