Can anyone help me? I am looking for a campsite in Scotland for a 2 week hol in June. I would prefer it to be next to or near water where we can canoe, but as we are camping for a while, would like a play area for the kids. We're not necessarily interested in a club or similar, just a nice, clean campsite. I have looked at so many, but can't find what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Do you want to be near a loch, or the sea (or white water)? For lochs, I'd look along the Caledonian Canal (Fort Agustus- Inverness), or for the sea, I'd look at the Aberdeenshire & Moray coasts.

In June, I'd avoid the West unless you enjoy being eaten by midgies or have a very good insect repellant.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

Thanks. I think a loch would be preferable, and I am already looking into repellant! I don't know Scotland at all and I'd like to minimise the risk of finding a bad site as we will be there for 2 wks.

Glenmore Forestry Site near Aviemore - large shallow lake for canoeing complete with a "sandy" beach, almost every other outdoor activity you can thing of near to hand. Good shower blocks. Plenty of space for tents.

Clachtoll Beach Campsite will give you a wide choice of both fresh and salt water canoeing and is very popular amongst the canoeing fraternity.

Many sites in the Arisaig area which are excellent for canoeing and for kids messing about on the beach

I also think Glenmore Forestry Site near Aviemore would suit you and your needs. Im booked there for myself for 4 nights in July. You can buy a forestry loyalty card for £12 a year that gives you great discounts at every forestry site around the UK and there are many all with excellent facilities.

thanks Tiggarsmum, I've been on that site a few years ago but I thought it was closed - or has it changed name? Maybe I'm getting mixed up with another site!

Its always been called that as far as I can remember. You might be thinking of Silverbeach along the road a bit. It shut down about six of seven years ago.
