    Overview

    You will find a real taste of the Scottish Highlands in this area of castles, distilleries and beautiful scenery.


    Walks, wildlife and whisky are all in abundance in the area surrounding our beautiful Speyside Club campsite. 

    The campsite enjoys a rural position between the fabulous Moray coast and the Cairngorms mountain range. Set on a gentle south-facing slope and surrounded by trees, Speyside campsite will appeal to those looking for a peaceful and relaxing base for their exploration of the area.


    Views extend over the surrounding countryside and trees and hedges dot the site giving some areas a more secluded feel. Facilities include a laundry, children’s play area and a dog walk.


    If you enjoy a wee dram of Scotland’s famous tipple, you’re in luck. The area surrounding the campsite boasts some 50 whisky distilleries, including the world-famous Macallan Distillery. Most offer tours and there are whisky festivals in May and September.


    For walkers, the 84-mile Speyside Way connects the moray coast with the Grampian Mountains and passes close to the campsite.


    As well as being handy for the coast of Moray Firth, Elgin, Buckie, Forres, Nairn, Fochabers and Spey bay are all within easy reach. At Spey Bay you’ll find the Scottish Dolphin Centre where you can enjoy dolphin spotting or take a walk along the mouth of the River Spey.
