    Marvel at imperious mountains, explore quiet coastal villages, and acquaint yourself with one of the Whisky capitals of Scotland with a stay at Speyside by Craigellachie Club Site. Located just north of the Cairngorms National Park, close to the Moray Coast, this charming, rural campsite is ideal for some serious rest and relaxation.

    Whisky country

    You’ll find modern amenities such as toilet and shower block, washing up area, and dedicated accessible facilities on this gently sloping campsite that offers a secluded feel thanks to trees and hedges. This site is in the heart of whisky country – the Glenfiddich Distillery and Visitor Centre is just eight miles away, while Speyburn, Glenfarclas, Ballindalloch, and Glenrothes distilleries are also nearby.

    Walks for all

    Hikers will feel right at home here with the 84-mile Speyside Way running close to the site. You’ll also be staying close to the Cairngorms, which is home to no fewer than 55 Munros, plus plenty of less strenuous walks in its forested inner too. Head north from the site and explore the varied coastline, where cute fishing villages, beautiful beaches, and the Moray Firth await.

    Book a pitch at Speyside and camp in the heart of Scotland’s whisky country and close to the UK’s biggest national park.
