Welcome to Barrow Campsite, Nairn. Closed till Friday 29th March 2024.

Named after the onsite Bronze age Barrow.

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. (ancientmonuments.uk). With the opening of the campsite this monument will be immediately accessible to all campsite visitors. In the near future information boards will promote the wide awareness and significance of the history of this monument.  

Breaking news! As of spring 2023 we are proud to announce we have a shop on site. The shop stocks basic food and drinks with some supplies coming from local producers. Helpful campsite essentials. We have a license to sell alcohol in our stocked shop.

We have installed a new grey waste and green chemical waste disposal point beside the toilet blocks.

We have a new commercial playpark onsite.

Super pitches. 15 super pitches have been created. These have 16 amp electric supply, grey water drainage and a dedicated water supply.

Previous winter months have seen improvements to drainage, the playpark, the bothy and general tree planting. Then last winter saw changes in layout with hundreds of laurel bushes being planted as future shelter breaks, more tress being planted to the north west of the site and the opening of a ‘nearly wild camping’ area. This area which is sheltered behind a large hill will be dedicated for 4x4 type vehicles looking for a slightly more out of the way peaceful spot while still being within walking distance of the toilet and shower facilities.

Previously, We improved the drainage on the site and are so happy to say that there were no puddles to be seen. Ewan’s work on the excavator has paid off. The playpark has some swings, a slide and a large climbing frame. This has proven very popular and is placed on the campsite in a securely fenced off area to keep those little ones safe. The new building, shelter has saved many a drowned camper, brought families together over a game of cards and shared the sunset with shared BBQ’s on long summer nights. The bothy has a south facing terrace overlooking our nature pond and the surrounding hills. There is seating inside and I truly hope this can be a relaxing meeting point for fellow guests. Additional tree planting around the site that will provide shade and improve the beauty of the site overall is an ongoing project.

We look forward to welcoming you to our site.
