Imagine a room with a view in your ideal holiday destination and what picture do you conjure up? Maybe it’s the lush greenery of fields and meadows at daybreak, a majestic mountain range rising through the mists or perhaps it’s the ripple of a vast, glistening lake

Whatever backdrop you visualise, one of the best ways to see it in all its glory is to set up camp in your favourite kind of place and savour a little taste of paradise.

Staying close to home, you’ll be spoilt for choice with Scotland’s outstanding landscape of national parks, stunning coastline, mountains, lochs and forests. And, as an added bonus you’ll also enjoy the wellbeing benefits that go hand in hand with nature.

Planning is key

Of course, picking an area to explore is only one consideration when it comes to spending time in the great outdoors. Do you choose camping or glamping? A tent or a van? Would you rather return to base each night or tour the surrounding area and stay in different places?

Whatever options you choose, having the right equipment to make your stay run smoothly is a vital element of planning the perfect break.
