About this spot
A legendary free pitch on the sandy shore of Loch Morlich, ringed by Caledonian pine and the Cairngorm plateau. Wake to still water and red squirrels; walk straight onto the beach or the Rothiemurchus trails. No facilities — this is proper wild camping under Scotland's access laws, so leave the place better than you found it.

Reviews
“Best free spot on the NC500 detour. Utterly quiet after 8pm.”
“Stunning. Gets busy — come midweek. No facilities so fill up in Aviemore first.”
