Birchwood Nights at Camp Pitch — Woodland pitches named for local birds in Dunphail.
Set in secluded birch woodland outside Dunphail, Camp Pitch at ACE Hideaways offers a close-to-nature camping experience: individual pitches named for native birds, heavy-duty fire pits for nightly campfires, a communal rustic kitchen and on-site adventure activities, all framed by quiet woodland and a welcoming atmosphere for dogs.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Heavy-duty fire pits and skillet BBQs
Each pitch is supplied with a heavy-duty fire pit and a BBQ skillet, making campfire cooking and evening fires a central, managed part of the experience.
Secluded birch woodland setting
Pitches sit within a quiet birch wood that ACE describes as the next best thing to wild camping—ample space for exploration while remaining on managed land.
Communal rustic camp kitchen and facilities
A communal camp kitchen with running water and a two-ring gas cooker sits near the pitches, with toilet and shower facilities and outside washing-up areas to support a low-impact, back-to-basics stay.
What the day feels like
What a stay feels like
Days at Camp Pitch move at woodland pace: set up on a pitch named after a local bird, cook from the shared camp kitchen or over your personal fire pit, and walk small loops through birch glades before returning to a simple shower and a reception with basic provisions and wifi. Staff can book you into on-site adventure activities, and dogs are welcome with conditions.
