Highlands
A wild Camping and Backwoods adventure area
NEW for 2025
We are creating a new and unique area within the Glenny Wood campsite which will be our fantastic Wild Camping and Backwoods activities area. This will be intentionally very basic and wild. This is the type of area which now-a-days is not often available and will be a great place to try something new, step out of your comfort zone, learn new skills, and having a lot of fun.

An insight into running, our site.
What takes place and is just not seen!
Keeping Glenny Wood safe, clean and tidy is a key area for the team. Over the years I have often mentioned the maintenance work we have undertaken along with the development activities completed.
There is also a lot of other regular work completed behind the scenes that is so essential and is not seen.
Therefore to give you an idea of what happens please read on….
