The air up here tastes different — sharp with Highland peat and the clean scent of moorland stretching out toward Loch Shin, where the silence is broken only by curlew calls and the odd bleat from distant crofts.

Despite the name, this is a proper mixed site welcoming tents and campervans alongside any pods, so you're not limited to glamping if you prefer canvas or a rooftop sleeper. It suits anyone drawn to the Far North — wild campers after solitude, anglers heading for Sutherland's legendary waters, or couples using Lairg as a jumping-off point for the empty roads and big skies of the northwest Highlands. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, making it workable for those touring with four-legged companions.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, so it's worth checking what's onsite when you book — this feels like a place that keeps things simple rather than resort-style. Campfires are a check-on-arrival matter, likely weather and pitch dependent. The vibe is remote and quietly self-sufficient, the kind of spot where you wake to mist on the hills and spend evenings watching the light linger until late. Proper Highland camping, unhurried and honest.

Balloan – Lairg Core Path

Follows a gentle, undulating route through Highland countryside between Balloan and Lairg village. Mostly flat terrain with a few mild inclines, suitable for families with older children who can manage longer walks, though uneven ground and gates make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers peaceful views across open moorland and glimpses of local crofting life, with the chance to spot red deer and Highland cattle along the way.

Ord Hill Trail

Climbs steadily through ancient woodland to reach Ord Hill's summit, rewarding you with sweeping views across Skye's Sleat peninsula and the Sound of Sleat. Moderate terrain with some steep sections and uneven forest paths—manageable for older children but not suitable for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads. The mix of native trees and dramatic coastal vistas makes this a atmospheric walk, particularly beautiful in autumn when the canopy turns golden.

Gunns Wood Core Path

Winds through ancient woodland with mostly flat, well-maintained paths suitable for families and buggies on drier sections, though expect muddy patches after rain. Dogs welcome on leads to protect local wildlife. The tranquil forest setting offers a peaceful escape with mature trees, seasonal wildflowers, and opportunities to spot woodland birds. Ideal for a gentle stroll when staying near the Cromarty Firth area, with enough shade on warm days and natural interest to keep children engaged.
