Campground · Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park
Mountain-ringed West Highland Way stop with bar, shop and hot showers
Overview
Beinglas sits at Inverarnan, at the northern end of the Loch Lomond stretch of the West Highland Way, in a steep-sided valley with green hillsides rising close on either side. It works best as a booked overnight base: a working farm campsite where long-distance walkers, campervanners and drivers break the journey, eat a hot meal and dry out before moving on. The grassy camping field, low white farm buildings and dry-stone walls give it a plain, practical character rather than a resort feel, and that is a large part of why walkers plan around it.

Recorded for this area
The Drovers Inn at Inverarnan“You're coming up on the Drovers Inn at Inverarnan, a stone pub that began serving cattle drovers in 1705. The full-size stuffed bear in its entrance hall gives you a fair warning: this is an old, dark, eccentric place.”

Guide
Availability varies by season and by type, so confirm what is bookable before you rely on any one option.
Drinking water and power supply are provided on site, though not every pitch is the same, and facilities here serve guests rather than passing visitors.
The site is at Inverarnan, just off the main road between Loch Lomond and Crianlarich, and is signposted from the West Highland Way as the route passes the farm. Walkers arriving on foot reach it directly from the path; drivers should use the farm entrance and park on site. There is a separate waterfall nearby that shares the Beinglas name and is not part of the campsite.
This is a functional route stop, not a polished destination. Some visitors find the facilities basic or rough-and-ready, and busy nights in high season bring a steady turnover of tired walkers and vehicles. The valley setting is genuinely handsome, but the site itself is geared to sleeping, eating and resupplying rather than to lingering, so treat it as a practical overnight base and plan your scenery for the walk either side of it.
