The Highlands reward those willing to sleep close to the landscape, and the choice here runs from loch-side glamping to more traditional pitches beneath the mountains. Loch Lomond Glamping offers a soft-edged introduction to the region, with warm accommodation and water views close at hand, while Rothiemurchus Camp and Caravan Park sits deep in Cairngorms forest, useful for walkers and families wanting easy access to trails and wildlife.
Further west, Applecross Campsite trades convenience for scenery, reached via the twisting Bealach na Ba road and rewarding the journey with views over to Skye. Choosing between them often comes down to how remote you want to feel: Rothiemurchus suits a settled base with facilities nearby, Applecross suits those chasing coastal drama, and Loch Lomond works well as a gentler stop for those new to camping in the Highlands.
