Liked: Location was amazing 👏
Disliked: Got stuck on the pitch as ground too soft. Lovely owner helped us out. Gave us a hard pitch but with view of a garage and disused caravans. Facilities were terrible.

From the manager: Hi yes they got stuck and after getting them unstuck we allowed them to park down beside the farm area as the weather was atrocious as for the toilets they are functional and clean we can't account for the weather and are always trying to improve.
A perfect site to explore the Cairngorms

Liked: A well maintained site set in a beautiful location - a perfect place to explore the Cairngorms! There were animals all around (wild and farm) and play equipment for children. Very dog friendly. The shower was warm and clean and we loved the added bonus of having the option of a breakfast bap in the morning. Hosts were very friendly and available for any questions we had.

Liked: Truly one in a million campsite! Amazing remote location, surrounded by forests, rivers and snowy mountains in the distance. My son and I were travelling in our little camper at the beginning of March (still cold!), we had an electric pitch in a great flat field, well looked after. Everything was close to hand, toilet & shower was heated and clean and lovely hot water!! Hosts were so friendly and accommodating, we felt like we were staying as family. The highlight was definitely the tame animals that my son could feed everyday. He was able to hold a lamb and spend time with the pigmy goats, horses, sheep, alpacas and lovely Jimmy the donkey.
