Scotland

not great but fits 2 person tent and has access to small river

The quiet rush of a small Scottish river runs right past the pitch line — pull back the tent flaps in the morning and you're looking at moving water.

This is a no-frills spot that takes tents, campervans and caravans, tucked somewhere in Scotland's broad landscapes where a burn meanders close enough to become part of your stay. It suits folk after simplicity rather than polish — couples happy with basic access to wild swimming or a riverside cuppa, maybe tourers breaking a longer route who want running water as a neighbour rather than a postcode attraction. The site description itself admits it's "not great" in the usual manicured sense, but that honesty hints at something rawer: space, the sound of the river, a pitch that does the job without fanfare.

Facilities aren't listed, so expect absolute basics or none at all. Campfires might be allowed — you'll need to ask on arrival. This is camping stripped back to ground and water, for those who'd rather hear a river than a hairdryer.
