Welcome to Barrow Campsite, Nairn. Open from Friday 28th March 2025 till Friday 31st October 2025.

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.  

We are a cashless campsite. All payments must be made via the online booking platforms or via card machine in the campsite shop. Thank you for your understanding.

Gas. New for 2025 we will be a supplier of Calor gas stocking coinvenient sizes for exchange on site.

Licensed Campsite shop. The shop stocks basic food and drinks with some supplies coming from local producers. For 2025 we will be supplying Local eggs, Local meat, Kinrara Gin and Blackisle Brewery beers. Along with these local products we are stocking a range of healthy wholefoods and helpful campsite essentials.

We have grey and green chemical waste disposal point beside the toilet blocks and the main enterance.

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, 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.

The playpark has some swings, a slide and a large climbing frame. This has proven very popular and is placed on the campsite beside the communal bothy allowing familys to play, bbq and relax, all close to each other. The new building, shelter (bothy) 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.
