Check out the wigwam/cabin things as a possible alternative, look pretty good.

Just book in to the campsite down the road, no idea what it was called, but it wasn't expensive.

A lot of the suitable ground around the carpark has been fenced off recently, I suspect to deter wild campers.

Its scotland - you can camp where yo want so long as yo are reasonable. Lighting fires in the forest is out basically tho IIRC - I can't be bothered to check the code.

Check the access code

We have recently camped here, out of your tent and onto the trails, what more could you ask for! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Give the guy 'Ian Ritchie' a call, a very nice and helpful guy.

The facilities are new and very nice!
