Wigwam Holidays

A wigwam traditionally was a structure or dwelling used by Native Americans created by draping bark or hides over an arched framework – not to be confused with the conical teepee which has in recent years become misidentified as a wigwam.

The modern camping or glamping pod has taken on the form of the traditional wigwam with its arched barrel form and has now become a more luxurious alternative to camping in a portable tent.

Wigwam Holidays in Loch Ness

From your wigwam cabin on the shores of Loch Ness you can be sure to spot Nessie when she finally makes an appearance – but keep an eye out if you decide to try wild swimming, a popular pastime for Scots. Set in the Highlands of Scotland, Loch Ness is a great base if you’re looking to explore the Highlands, take a tour of a whisky distillery, try some kayaking, or bag any munros. Also nearby are the impressive Falls of Foyers, described as the most spectacular in Scotland.

The site is home to four four-person glamping cabins and four five-person glamping cabins as well as a communal toilet and showering block, farm shop, reception, and seasonal diner. Each cabin includes its own fire pit and outdoor seating area.
