Campground · Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park
Tent-only pitches by old oak woodland on the loch shore
Overview
This is a tent-only campsite on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, with a small beach and views across the water toward the Arrochar Alps. There are no campervan or motorhome pitches, so plan elsewhere if you are travelling in a vehicle you sleep in.

Recorded for this area
A Mountain as a Memorial“The land around Ben Lomond is itself a memorial. Some of it was bought for the nation after the Second World War with a fund set up to honor those who died.”

Guide
The oak woodland around the pitches is roughly 200 years old, which gives the site a settled, mature feel rather than the look of a cleared field.
In summer, midges can be persistent. Repellent and a head net are worth packing.
For photos, walk down to the small beach and shoot across the loch toward the Arrochar Alps, using the shore or overhanging oak branches as foreground.
It makes a good overnight stop for walkers on the West Highland Way, and an easy choice if you want a basic shoreline camp rather than a site with lots of facilities. You can arrive on foot or by bicycle. If you are driving, book the designated car space with your pitch, because there is no extra parking on site.
