The rhythmic rush of the River Findhorn provides a constant, soothing soundtrack at this no-frills riverside spot near Moy Bridge, where Highland light filters through Scots pines and the air carries that distinctive peaty-fresh scent of the Monadhliath foothills. This is old-school, back-to-basics camping in one of Scotland's most storied landscapes.

Perfect for self-sufficient tourers and wild camping enthusiasts who appreciate simplicity over amenities, this informal site sits in true Highland territory between Inverness and Aviemore. The location offers genuine escape without complete isolation—you're within reach of provisions while feeling genuinely off-grid. Experienced campers who know their own requirements and respect Scotland's outdoor access code will appreciate the freedom this kind of informal pitch provides.

With minimal facilities to speak of, you'll need to arrive prepared with everything you require. Check locally on arrival regarding campfire permissions, as policies can vary depending on conditions and season. The vibe here is wonderfully unfussy—just you, your pitch, and the timeless Highland landscape that surrounds you.
