Loch Chon Campsite

Surrounded by forest and with wonderful views of nearby hills and mountains, Loch Chon is a gem of a discovery for outdoors fans. It’s fabled that the sheltered water, located between Kinlochard and Inversnaid on the minor B829 road, has a resident kelpie (water spirit), as well as one of the world’s largest populations of faeries! Discover more about the area >

Loch Chon is an informal campsite offering the opportunity to camp in a small, picturesque site with basic facilities. Nestled in woodland on the shores of beautiful Loch Chon, it offers 26 pitches for tents through a mixture of open and woodland camping. Each pitch comes with one designated parking space, access to toilets and fresh water.

There are two accessible pitches (Pitches 8 and 9), with accessible toilets and designated parking nearby, and one double pitch (pitch 21) with space for two tents for bookings of four or more adults. View a map of the campsite >

What you need to know

• The campsite is nestled in woodland, with beautiful views over Loch Chon and the surrounding area.
• Please note there will be no drinking water or shared washing up facilities available on site and you should come prepared with everything you need. Campsites are operating at a reduced capacity and your patience is appreciated while we get up and running.
• Toilets on-site.
• Prices are £7 per adult per night, children under 16 go free.
• Please note that bins are not provided so campers are asked to take home all waste and recycling to dispose of at home.
• We also encourage campers to try to reduce the amount of waste they generate while staying at the campsite.
• Parking is available on-site and you will be allocated one designated parking space when you book your pitch. Please note there is no additional car parking available on site.
• Access across the site is provided by a formal path network, not all the paths are flat and there are some short flights of steps.
• Pitches are not immediately located next to the car park spaces and you will have to carry your gear up to 150 metres, depending on your pitch location.
• Accessible pitches (Pitches 8 and 9) are available on-site, with accessible toilets and designated parking nearby.
• Pitches come with fire bowls and fire wood is available to pre-book online along with your camping pitch – we have found that people tend to enjoy a fire so much that two bags are often required.
• Pitches 7, 15, 18 and 19 have raised wooden platforms and you’ll need to use the chains and hooks provided in order to secure your tent. Read here a very easy guide on how to use the chains and hooks. Our poster on site will also offer you guidance.

• The campsite is open from 1st March – 30th October (2021).
