Highland Games and Where to Stay
Accommodation when attending the Highland Games varies depending on what guests are looking for. There are several options for guests of the Highland Games:
- On-site tent camping; the games offer guests the options of camping on site. This provides simple accommodation for those who want the convenience of staying right amidst the action. On-site sites are simply places for guests to pitch tents. The atmosphere is fun with close proximity to other guests and easy access to the on-site amenities. There are showers and other facilities available to guests who choose to camp on site.
- On-site RV and electric camping; for those who still want to be on site and part of the action, but would prefer more upscale or more refined accommodation, there are sites equipped for RVs, campers and those that need electric sites. These sites can be more expensive than the other campsites but offer higher-end amenities for guests if you so wish.
- Bed and breakfasts; there are many bed and breakfasts in the area for those who do not enjoy or want to camp. This offers accommodation with rooms, breakfast, amenities and much more to guests. This is a great option for couples and for those travelling with kids or those with higher needs and requirements. There are options very close to the site as well as farther away, closer to the city. With hosts often from or having been in the area a while, there is an excellent opportunity to be immersed in many local cultures with this option.
- House rental; Airbnb and other online platforms have enabled and made renting accommodation in nearly any and every city in the world much easier. Houses, apartments, condos, event yurts and unique accommodation types are readily available. These house rentals offer the comforts of home and are relatively easy to maintain with things such as the ikea karlstad sofa cover.

Renting houses can be a great way to experience the local architecture and culture.
- Hotels; there is always one long-standing and preferred type of accommodation and that is the classic hotel. Staying in a hotel is a tried and true way to stay when travelling nearly everywhere. Hotels range from the basic rooms and accommodation to the most upscale and lavish rooms and amenities as well as everything in between. Hotels are a good option depending on how close you want to be to the site, with transportation and shuttles available from some participating hotels.
