For the faux wildnerness seekers this is the perfect camping experience. It is located in Nethy Bridge just past Avie More. An older couple run the hostel and there is a small patch of grass which is allocated for the campsite. The added bonus for campers is that you have access to a clean indoor toilet. The couple are very friendly and welcoming and are happy to chat about the area and their animals. They have a great mix of ducks that hang about a pond and a horse. In addition to the animals, there is a path that takes you beyond this couples' home into a spectacular view of the cairn gorms. The best part of this path is that because it is only accessible through the lazy ducks site you may be the only person there to enjoy this beautiful scene. If you are camping for a prolonged period of time there is the option of a bush shower. Unfortunately it was too cold for us to test out, but it is a bag that is filled with warm water and hung up in the outdoor shower.....it looks like good fun!
The campsite/small open field can accomodate up to four small tents and there is an area for a communal fire (and the opportunity to make new friends!). On a cold wet night there is the option (at an added cost) to use the sauna.
This is a well organized facitilty. For campers looking to camp with the comforts of home this is the perfect place!
