Comrie Croft
We had a long weekend so we headed north to one of our favourite campsites, Comrie Croft. It’s a bit of a drive, just in between the Cairngorms and Loch Lomond, but it’s really worth it. We usually get to campsites late afternoon and just spend an evening there, before driving off after breakfast, but here we woke up, and spent an entire day wandering the campsite and walking in the surrounding woods. Absolutely no driving. Honestly, i don’t think we’ve ever done that before.
We arrived quite early and there were no other campervans there so we managed to get the best spot. Tucked right away at the end of the row of pitches, with a little stream outside our side door, and the firepit and bench outside our back doors. Through winter they have a pop up airstream cafe, run by Bonnie Mountain Coffee (who also have a land rover coffee bar, legends) who supplied us with coffee and bacon sandwiches all weekend, but they also have their own farm shop selling pretty much anything you could need for camping or a good dinner (veg and fruit all grown and handpicked at the bottom of the road).
Comrie Croft is a little oasis of calm and I could happily go back and spend a whole week there. We wanted to stay an extra night but the forecast warned us of snow and ice so we decided to play it safe and head a little bit closer to home for the last night. We’re planning on spending a fortnight in Scotland in April and I think a few of those nights will have to be spent back here.
