Campsites in Scotland off-season opening?
Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a tent and have my eyes on a large one, the benefit of being this time of year is that it's on sale. However I don't know if campsite's close for part of the year? I've not camped since the 80's so I'm clueless. Are there campsites in Scotland that are year-round, or do they close for several months during off-season?

I camped just outside Inverness last summer. The site is officially seasonal, closing Autumn. But taking a walk along the beach around Xmas, there were a few motorhomes there. However, toilets etc all closed.
My guess is you may get a pitch until October half term on some sites, but beyond October a tent friendly site is unlikely…..

40 year-round campsites with tent pitches listed here, there'll be plenty of others too:
