LinkinFighter Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Can anyone suggest some decent spots for camping in Scotland. There's going to be about 4 of us for a couple of days over the September weekend. Nothing fancy, near a Loch would be nice, decent views to sit and drink cans and have a camp fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearbuyerbell Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Sorry your thread hasn't taken off mate. Last time I went camping I went to Strathkiness just outside St Andrews. https://www.nydie.co.uk/ It's got a great pub on site and is very cheap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackislekillie Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Loth near Helmsdale in Sutherland. Right on the beach, fires permitted. Basic amenities but a nice spot for a couple of nights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspy Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The Back of Keppoch just along from Arisaig. Quite a few options to choose from along that way. I usually stay at the croft. It's very basic but has access to some cracking beaches which are perfect for campfires and there is a B&B with a public bar a 10 min walk away and Arisaig is only a 25 min walk if you fancy a pint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Glen Etiv is usually busy with wild campers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped off near there after delivering 2nd hand furniture to Mallaig. The firm had a gps thing so the office folk could track our movements, and were quibbling about lunch breaks. So we took a sofa and table off the lorry and planted them on the beach, along with a buffet and non alcoholic champagne, and waited for the inevitable phone call about why we'd stopped. "Lunch" and a selfie was the reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a wee tangent, the Back of Keppoch is where my wee brother asked our parents if Santa was real. In the middle of July! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I have never considered wild camping as an end in itself. What would you do through the day? Anyway it all depends on: Where you travelling from? How far you willing to travel? Car or public transport? How far you willing to walk with your gear? Back of Keppoch, Arisaig, Morar etc are beautiful in good weather. In September you are taking a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMes Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) I plan to go camping in Scotland at the beginning of next month, I have all the necessary equipment, and I want to rent an SUV with my friends.Where would it be better to go, other than the places that you have already listed? I usually go on a trip in my short bed truck campers on my Ford pickup truck across America. But in this case, you will already have to travel in a rented car with your wife. Since we have a family of 3 children, you need to rent a large car to travel in this country. Which car rental company did you contact in Scotland?

JohnMes Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 But Tenerife is further than Scotland. Or do you suggest going there instead of Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend Hovercraft Rentals in Largs. Plenty room for all the family. You may have to stop for fuel en route a few times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
