Our touring campsite and glamping pods are dotted about this wonderful and secluded landscape surrounded by natural and arable land. The river ‘Nairn’ can be accessed from the site and in the Spring it’s banks are covered with thousands of bluebells.
It’s a place a world apart from the rush and clutter of the modern holiday experience, with an atmosphere that makes you forget the world outside, and just lounge, ramble, or potter about.
We're committed to giving you a genuinely individual service from first contact to your time staying with us and “contribute to making happy memories every day”.
On Site is an ancient archaeological monument. This monument is locally known as 'Hangman's Cairn' and is an excellent example of a well-preserved Bronze Age Barrow and contemporary surrounding bank. The monument comprises a sub-circular mound, measuring around 25 m in diameter and standing to a height of around 3.3 m.
Our large 12m x 7m hard-standing touring pitches are arranged sympathetically around the Site to allow for different views wherever you pitch up. All these pitches have electricity, and a water tap is shared between two pitches. One hard-standing pitch situated near the toilet block is a dedicated disabled pitch.
The grass pitches are there for the smaller vehicles - roof tents, campervans, small motor homes and very small tents and are located overlooking the nature park and pond. A number of these pitches have electricity. Water taps are shared amongst the grass pitches. For non electric tent pitches you will be shown to a suitable spot.
One of our recent additions to the site is a dedicated ‘Nearly wild camping’ area. Situated slightly away from the other campers, sheltered behind a large hill offering a more relaxed feel for 4x4 vehicles and the likes while still being able to access toilet facilities if required.
Existing Electric grass tent bookings will be on a 10 m x 4 m pitch. It is the clients responsibility to ensure their tent, guy lines and awning fit in this space.
The campsite features 2 Glamping Pods. Sitting outside the pods, facing southwards you look out over the farmland and have direct views to the ancient monument on the site. Each insulated and heated pod sleeps up to two people. There is a small kitchen unit with a sink, a kettle and a toaster. Toilet and shower facilities are close by. All Pods are strictly pet free. No exceptions.
Accessible through a gate from the campground, you and your four-legged friend can take a stroll through the nature park. Walk around the pond and sit and enjoy the views. Dogs are welcome to walk off the lead in this nature park, but we ask the owners to look after their four-legged friends at all times. It goes without saying to please clean up after your dog.
In the pond there are gold fish and many frogs. Fishing this pond is not allowed however feel free to enjoy a refreshing swim.
Our Glamping Pods face southwards looking over the farmland and sleep up to two adults (and one infant but you will need to bring your own travel cot)
There is a small kitchen unit with a sink, kettle and toaster. Cowder and Nairn Pod comes with a bed and mattress, full bedding available to rent at £12 per stay. (Contact the campsite in regards to bedding rental) Toilet and shower facilities are close by.

Spent 6 nights here with family of four and a dog, there were no complaints. Facilities were warm and clean, shop was well stocked and reasonably priced, good clothes washing facilities and staff were exceptionally friendly. The guy on duty even came to check on us in one of the worst thunderstorms seen in decades, which we very much appreciated!
This is a lovely wee site near Nairn. The pitches are really generous and the metered electricity is a bonus and very easy to use. The facilities were spotless at all times. There are pleasant walks adjoining the site for dog walkers and it is close to the banks of the River Nairn - although no views of that and a narrow path through a good bit of undergrowth to get to the riverbank. For campervans and motorhomes you need to 'de-camp' and drive to decent walks and into Nairn as it is a long walk along a roadside. For caravans with cars the site is ideal as it close to Nairn if you drive and other attractions like walks and Cawdor Castle. If you like peace and quiet essentially in the middle of nowhere - this is ideal. Very peaceful and pretty.
Lovely quiet site with great facilities. Lovely walks and well kept site. 100% would recommend
We look forward to the new facilities being open, current facilities were clean but showing signs of ware, the warden was very friendly and helpful.
Very clean, good showers, good t.v reception and helpful friendly staff
friendly, clean and interesting site. Good facilities. Beautiful pond area.
As a solo cycle-camper I had a very pleasant three-night stay at Barrow Campsite in early July '26. Perfect location for exploring Nairn, Culloden, the Nairn Viaduct and Fort George. Great scenery and walks. Very good loo/shower and laundry facilities. Pitched my tent on a field with no electric hook-ups (available elsewhere) which kept the bigger campervans away from the tents. Plenty water taps available. Site owner and staff were friendly and attentive. All-in-all a very good experience.
Great site with great facilities, staff friendly and knowledgeable. We stayed here for 2 nights at short notice and although the site was busy the toilet were clean and very tidy. Not too far from Nairn and local shops, restaurants and local history. Would recommend and will definitely stay again.
Really liked the fact the campsite was so quiet and peaceful. Got my best nights sleep here on my trip. Highly recommend
