There are no places of accommodation in the wilderness areas that the walks in the Prologue pass through, other than at the starting locations of Roybridge, Spean Bridge and Fort Augustus and at the end of Stages 1 and 1A at, and near, Laggan. Walkers will need to carry a tent and/or make use of the bothies passed en route (see Prologue for full details).

Campsites and Wild Camping

The Speyside Way, Dava Way and the MCT are all suitable for backpacking, using campsites along the trails for overnight accommodation.

Most campsites cater primarily for caravans, campervans and large family tents, but all will take small backpacking tents. On most occasions a place will be found for you for one overnight stay, without prior reservation, but it is nevertheless worth checking for availability by phone before arriving. Reservations are advisable during the main summer season and particularly over bank holiday periods. It is always worth asking for a discount for a small tent and for the fact that you are not bringing a car onto the site. Most commercial campsites are closed during the winter months. Campsites come and go, like other types of accommodation, so do check at the planning stage of your trip that the sites that you intend to use are still open, and check for possible new sites along the trails by contacting a local Tourist Information Centre.
