The creak of timber, the whisper of wind across open moorland, and the profound silence that only true wilderness brings – The Red House offers shelter where mountain meets sky. This is bothy-style camping at its most authentic, where a wilderness hut provides refuge alongside traditional tent pitching for those who carry everything on their backs.
Perfect for hillwalkers, wild campers, and souls seeking escape from the everyday, this year-round site strips camping back to essentials. The mountain bothy tradition runs deep here – a simple roof, four walls, and the companionship of fellow adventurers sharing stories by lamplight. Whether you're planning a multi-day trek or simply craving isolation, the remote setting demands self-sufficiency and rewards with star-scattered skies.
Facilities are deliberately minimal, keeping the focus on the raw mountain experience. Check about campfire possibilities when you arrive – policies often flex with seasons and conditions. Dogs may be welcome by arrangement, making this ideal for those who explore with four-legged companions. Come prepared, leave no trace, and embrace the bothy spirit of shared wilderness refuge.
