                GLAMPING ACTIVITY BREAKS 

For our 2024 season we are once again offering Glamping on a limited basis over several weekends throughout the summer. 

Our Glamping experiences are aimed at those with an adventurous outdoors spirit looking for an active off grid experience.  We offer a choice of packages for our 2-night Glamping breaks which include some of our most popular activities.

Set in almost 60 acres of farm & woodland on the edge of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park your Glamping Tent overlooks our very own Lochan Broarran (named after the boss’s boys Brodie & Arran). Your Off Grid Wilderness Glamping Tent includes a woodburner stove (firewood included), twin beds or double bed, kitchen equipment, a 24 litre cooler box, table & chairs, storm lanterns and LED lighting

We are located right next to the Sustrans Cycle Route 7 with trails leading to Aberfoyle and the Queen Elizabeth Forest giving great cycling and walking routes. Gartmore village is a 2 mile walk for some pub grub from the community owned Black Bull Pub and Hub and there are a variety of eateries in Aberfoyle.

To help keep your carbon footprint low while you are with us we have a limited number of free on loan bikes which you can use to explore the area.

Please have a read through our terms and conditions before contacting us to make a booking. We reserve the right to change our terms and conditions without prior notice. If you would like to make a booking or have any questions, please e-mail as at  aaascotland@gmail.com.

GLAMPING DEFINITION

Oxford English Dictionary – A form of camping that involves accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping.

Action Adventure Activities – camping in a canvas tent with the additional features of a wood burner stove for both heating & cooking, dining table & chairs, 2 single beds with duvets & linen provided. Beds can be pulled together. Separate Toilet Facilities are provide in the form of either a composting festival style toilet, or a mains toilet located at our Glampers Bothy, where mains electric showers can also be found.

There is a very wide spectrum of what is now considered Glamping. From very basic pre pitched tents with no facilities all the way through to very high end safari tents or wooden lodges with full fitted kitchens & bathrooms who seem to have “hijacked” the term glamping.

Wildlife

Home to over 90,000 species, Scotland has a rich and diverse natural history which attracts thousands of wildlife-enthusiasts each year. Scotland’s land, seas and skies support a wide range of native mammals and birds, as well as six amphibians, four reptiles and over 50,000 different invertebrates.

Our Glamping Tents are situated in a predominantly wilderness area shared with all the natural flora and fauna that that entails.

When participating in your glamping experience you are infringing on their environment, not them on yours, so don’t be surprised if you get a visit from some of our local wildlife.

The company of a field mouse or common lizard* is not an unusual event. Even at night we have an active bat* population.

Our Glamps are tents and therefore cannot be guaranteed to be entirely wildlife-proof.
