Lazy Duck lightweight camping

Lazy Duck lightweight camping

This is a truly 'light-weight' 4-pitch campsite, in line with Lazy Duck's green practices and out of respect for what is a pristine environment and to preserve the peacefulness and the wildlife in a beautiful and secluded location.

Used by travellers and traders more than a hundred years ago, this forest clearing was once full of the regular comings and goings of camp dwellers with simple canvas shelters, cooking fires and tethered horses, bound for the 'Wool Fair' in Inverness.

Campers now pitching under the same 150 year old Caledonian pine trees have the use of a flush toilet with washbasin, a hot-and-cold washing-up space, an adventurous hot-water 'bush shower', a specially built wet-weather cooking shelter and a chimenea fire. Free range eggs and organic veg are often available.

For lazy days there's also a hammock and a 2-person 'Woodshed Sauna' - with music.

Tariff for camping/caravan:
£10/night per person/tent
£5/night per extra person sharing
Under 5's go free

Special Features:
VERY SMALL - 4 tents, 2-3 person size only. Pre-booking always recommended.

A simply furnished wet-weather shelter that can be used for cooking and candle-lit dining also provides a gathering space for this small tent community when the weather dictates.

In fine weather campers can light the chimenea fire where they can sit and share a glass of wine, marshmallows and good stories under the stars.

A rare experience is the popular 'Aussie bush shower' hoisted under a pine tree where a single bucket of gently sprinkling hot water proves its worth and the view of the forest is all yours.

There's a hammock for lazy days and a 2-person sauna (with music) for relaxing and a touch of luxury after exertions in the outdoors.
