Glenmore Caravan and Camping Site

The crunch of pine needles underfoot and the fresh, resinous scent of Caledonian forest greet you at Glenmore, where the Cairngorms rise dramatically beyond your tent door. This is high-altitude camping at its most elemental, positioned deep in the ancient woodlands that cloak the northern flanks of Scotland's mightiest mountain range.

Perfect for hillwalkers, mountain bikers and winter sports enthusiasts who want the Highlands proper—not a tamed version of it. The site serves as an excellent base for tackling the Cairngorm plateau, exploring Loch Morlich's shoreline, or accessing the trails that web through Glenmore Forest Park. Aviemore lies within reach for supplies and après-adventure sustenance.

Facilities are straightforward: toilets and showers serve those pitching tents, parking campervans or positioning caravans among the trees. Campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask at reception if you're hoping for evening flames. The atmosphere here is unpretentious and outdoorsy, attracting those who measure a good campsite by the quality of stars overhead and summits within striking distance rather than creature comforts.
