There’s no doubt there’s something uniquely restorative and enlivening about camping, especially in the Cairngorms where you can do it surrounded by ancient pine forest, or by the side of the River Spey or Dee or at the foot of a mountain.
Camping here is genuinely coming back to nature. Yet, if you want to be near home comforts and modern facilities, you can be.
There are so many unique camping in the Cairngorms experiences, you’ll find the perfect one for you.
If you want to camp like a King (or Queen!) you can, in the grounds of Blair Castle. If you want to camp right next to the River Dee you can, at Ballater Caravan Park.
