Resipole Farm
A beautiful part of Scotland with camping and self-catered lodges. The farm has planted thousands of trees over the years adding to the nearby forest – all in line with their eco-friendly philosophy. It’s by Loch Sunart, which is a sea loch creating a beautiful array of marine life. A top choice if bio-diversity and natural splendour is what you’re after.
Sango Sands
Found on the Northern Coast of Scotland, Sango Sands overlooks some incredible beaches. The site will have basic supplies and accommodations but perhaps best is the sheer sense of sublime isolation that this place offers. A great suggestion for those who want to feel at the edge of the world.
We hope you found this list helpful. Remember whether for groups or solo camping Sixt car hire is a great affordable option to take you and your gear all over the country.
