Highland Glamping On Its Way?
By William Coleman
The new camping phenomena that has swept the country could be getting even bigger. Plans for a new Clamping site in the Scottish highlands is under way.
With glamping sites popping up all over the UK, and many abroad as far as the USA, it seems there is no stopping this new camping craze. A proposal has been put forward for a new 20 Wigwam tent site in Defines Plantation, Angus, just on the outskirts of Monikie. The site would be located next to the Monikie Country Park that has over a 150,000 visitors a year.
With very few Glamping sites in the east and north east of Scotland this should bring a boost of visitors to area, on top of the many that are already visiting the area’s other attractions. The new site should get many more poeple staying over in the Wigwam style Glamping location.
If this site goes through and gets fully developed it would give a similar site, located in Tyndrum on the West Highland, a run for its money.
Glamping, is this something that will pick up much traction from the caravan and motorhome world?
