Whether you’re looking for lodges with hot tubs in Scotlandor a luxury retreat just steps from the Highlands' beautiful beaches, you’ll find lodge holidays at 5 of our parks. Touring & Camping Holidays Of all the destinations caravanning types put on their wish list, Scotland’s often one that features somewhere up near the top. And with good reason… for this is a land of many many (many many many) scenic spots, countless outdoor activities, miles of stunning coastline, heaps of historic sights, fab food (haggis, obviously, but also fresh seafood, cheeses, shortbread…) and of course the water of life itself (that’s the whisky – originally ‘uisge beatha’– that warms many an evening around these parts). Take a tour of the city to get your bearings. Walking and bus tours are available year-round and are a great way to get to know the city.

On the quieter side, The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum has one of the best collections of art in Europe. If you prefer a theme to your hols, several fine ones suggest themselves. Outdoor types might like to set themselves a munro-bagging challenge (that’s conquering Scotland’s peaks over 3000 feet… although you may need a few trips to get up all 282 of them) or taking a tour of the many gorgeous golf courses around the country. Or how about a scenic road trip on the famed North Coast 500 (or the lesser-known but equally splendid Argyll Coastal Route or North East 250), or a little jaunt around the Malt Whisky Trail? Uniquely placed on the northern shores of Loch Linne, this touring park truly makes the most of Scotland’s natural beauty. Visitors can enjoy ethereal views of the water and surrounding mountains from their pitch, venture out on a guided mountain walk or even scale the mighty Ben Nevis nearby. Covered lots of the main sights already? Scotland has plenty of under-the-radar corners that are well worth a visit. Head to the mountain bike trails and stargazing spots of the Galloway Forest Park (Scotland’s first Dark Sky Reserve), feast on fresh seafood along the Fife coastline or get set for sea life safaris out on the Moray Firth. Or just keep heading north… our options stretch all the way up to John O’Groats and beyond.
