Scotland Camping & Tent advice

[annastrogn]

Anyone camping in Scotland this summer? Where is good to go? And before I buy it, does anyone know if this tent is decent? https://www.fairwayrock.com/product...-6-person-versatile-family-size-tent-one-size

Sorry for all the questions! Cheers

Would you be able to get the tent on the bike

Suggest you post in the Scotland section for a better response. Initially however, I suggest you look at https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk. Ours is not a huge country and you might consider choosing two or three sites at most from.which to explore the Borders, the Southern Highlands and the NW Highlands.

As above ... A 6 person tent! How many folk are you camping with?

My advice....

Don’t go in the summer. Most of the country is infected with billions and billions of Midges (tiny biting flies that drive you insane).

West is best. Western Islands even better.

Wherever you go the chance of rain is high.

Don’t overlook the Scotland / England border area. Also don’t overlook Dumfries and Galloway. Both areas have great scenery, are relatively quiet and best of all have lots of great roads.

Visit at least one distillery, buy a bottle, open, throw away the cork and get roaringly drunk on it preferably sharing it with someone in the open air with a great view.

Campsites I would recommend:
Sunart campsite in Strontian.

Fidden Farm on Isle of Mull

Loch Broom campsite Ullapool

Sango Sands campsite Durness

Balloch O Dee campsite near Newton Stewart

Galloway Activity Centre and camping, near New Galloway.

Any of the campsites or wild camping spots in or near Applecross.

Countless wild camping (free) spots all over Scotland.
