Barrow Campsite Nairn

Barrow Campsite Nairn sits just outside Nairn in the eastern Highlands, with open-field camping for tents and campervans alongside glamping pods for hire. The pods offer an alternative for visitors travelling without their own camping accommodation. Toilets and showers are shared, dogs are welcome, and stays can be booked online. The campsite’s pond and nature reserve give it a focus on the outdoors, while Nairn is a short cycle ride away. Royal Brackla Distillery is also close to the site.

For a day away from the pitches, Nairn combines sandy beaches with woodland walks beside the river. The River Nairn Circuit is a three-mile route, offering a manageable outing without committing to a longer countryside walk. These are walks to explore from the town rather than routes starting at the campsite. Those wanting to stretch their legs further can consider the riverside route between Nairn and Cawdor, while the coast offers a different landscape of sand and open shoreline.

For a historical excursion, Brodie Castle and Estate brings together a rose-coloured turreted castle, an extensive art collection and estate walks. Guided tours explore the former Brodie family home, while the Playful Garden takes a more imaginative approach to its history. Spring visitors have another reason to explore the grounds: the estate is known for displays of more than 100 varieties of daffodil.
