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.

We love camping here, usually come with my family. But this time I invited friends and their kids too. The tent field is spacious, short walk to the toilet block and drinking water tap, The facilities are clean, hot water showers, no mould that I could wee. Good pressure. No creepy crawlies either lurking in the corners. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. Our car lost power, and they jump started it for us with no hassle...both days! Campfires allowed, also dog friendly. The play park is simple with 2 swings and a slide, but the llama and goats were good entertainment too. I would 100% recommend and will be visiting again.
We usually camp but decided to have a quick break away for the weekend and we chose to stay in a pod instead of tent .Very comfortable bed and a kettle and toaster. Toilets spotless as always lovely showers .Such a peaceful place to stay with beautiful views .We will be back
Good location. Some basic food and essentials available to purchase. Liked the bothy, nice touch with books and board games available in communal area. Good clean, hot showers.
Clean tidy value for money, only criticism they change for dogs, that is a personal view.
Location is superb, the staff are brilliant, facilities are nice and clean and up to my wife’s standard which can be difficult at times... Ha ha. Value for money is perfect, we’ve just booked our third stay and we’re looking forward to booking many more.
Pre booking was simple and efficient, arriving at the site was simple using the provided instructions. The toilet block, washing up and laundry rooms were spotless and the whole site had a well looked after and maintained vibe. We are relatively local and used this site as a shake-down test for out old-ish camper van and its definitely one we'll return to.
Easy booking, Quick Response, a welldone smart campsite, with all what is necessary. Enough space, good view, nice surrounding and a good place to start in all directions. Clean and helpfull staff, very friendly. Next time we will take more time
We had a lovely 3 nights stay at Barrow Campsite with our camper van, visiting the Highlands in the end of April 2025. The staff was very friendly, the campsite quiet and peaceful with very good and clean facilities. In the countryside, but still only about a 25 minutes drive from Inverness city centre.
Excellent site with good clean facilities. The site manager was friendly and informative. Thoroughly recommend this site.
