The smell of salt air mixes with farmland as you wake at Drumbuie, where the working rhythms of a Highland croft set the pace of your stay.

This is one for couples after a proper base rather than canvas, and anyone who wants a guest house welcome with a foot still in the outdoors. The camping pods offer that sweet spot between comfort and adventure, while the main farmhouse takes things a step further with B&B-style hospitality. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you've got a four-legged hiking companion in tow.

You're staying on a genuine working farm here, so expect early morning sounds and honest Highland hospitality rather than resort polish. Campfires need checking on arrival—some sites, some seasons, some weather conditions allow it, others don't. Open all year, which means midges in summer and proper solitude in winter. The vibe is quiet, rural, and refreshingly uncommercialised—a place where you're a guest on someone's land rather than a pitch number.

7 routes found via OpenStreetMap

Craigmonie Trail

Winds through woodland and open hillside with moderate inclines and some steeper sections near the summit viewpoint. Not ideal for buggies due to uneven forest paths and stepped areas, but manageable for families with steady walkers aged 5+. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Delivers rewarding views over Inverness and the Moray Firth from elevated clearings, plus peaceful forest shade and seasonal wildlife spotting opportunities along well-marked trails.

Hiking routeLocal network
1.79 km from campsite

Milton Trail

Follows a gentle, mostly flat path along the Great Glen Way near Fort Augustus, ideal for families with buggies and young children. Dogs welcome on leads. The trail offers stunning Loch Ness views and passes through peaceful woodland, making it perfect for a short, accessible outing with minimal effort but maximum Highland scenery. Suitable year-round, though can be muddy after rain.

Hiking routeLocal network
1.93 km from campsite

Great Glen Way - alternative via Carn na Leitire

Climbs steeply through woodland to the summit of Carn na Leitire before rejoining the main Great Glen Way – a proper ascent rather than gentle stroll. Suitable for confident hikers with good fitness but not for buggies or very young children due to challenging terrain and elevation gain. Dogs welcome on leads. Rewards effort with panoramic views across Loch Ness and the Great Glen that you'd miss on the lower route, making it worthwhile for those seeking a more adventurous alternative.
