FINLAYSTONE Country Estate is swapping screen time for star time by bringing back its 'Wild Nights' camping programme.

The estate in Port Glasgow welcomes families to an 'unforgettable overnight adventure'.

The Wild Nights offer a fully guided camping experience for seasoned campers and newbies alike.

Interested parties can book now online here. 

Estate ranger Stephen will lead woodland games, nature-based activities, and a cosy campfire with marshmallows.

The estate encourages families to 'unplug, unwind, and make the kind of memories that don't require WiFi'.

The event is suitable for families with children over the age of three, but pets are not allowed.

Access to toilets and civilisation is a short walk away, offering a wild camping experience with a bit of comfort.

Campers are urged to bring tents, sleeping bags, food, drinks, portable or disposable BBQs, warm clothing, hiking boots or wellies, and torches.

Rangers assist with ferrying camping equipment to the site for arrivals between 2.30pm and 4.30pm.

Activities with the rangers kick off at 5pm, followed by dinner from 5pm to 7pm.

The evening is dedicated to enjoying the campfire and forest, with noise kept to a minimum for early sleepers.

The next morning, the rangers start tidying and assisting campers from 7am.

By 8.30am, they help move equipment back to cars, and by 10am, the campsite must be vacated.

However, campers are welcome to enjoy the estate for free the next day.
