Stayed for 2 nights with my grandson. The whole site is set out beautifully to accommodate everyone, no matter how you are camping. Surrounded by stunning snow capped mountains. The birds singing, woodpeckers, owl's having a chat at night all adds to the sense of the outdoors. The amenities are great with plenty of showers/toilets. Washing machine & tumble dryer available also. Go see the lads at the burger bar. Great food, friendly & very welcoming. Overall, my first stay & not the last. Thank you to everyone who works hard to make it a success ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Breath of fresh air!

From the start of our visit, we were made to feel welcome! The site is in a stunning location, the first campsite I've ever visited which allows campers to pitch where they want, if felt relaxed! We stayed a week and met many couples/ families on shorter stays. The site felt safe for the kids to play and be free to enjoy the space. The water was fun, I'd recommend wetsuits and water shoes. We will return in the not so distant future!!

This was the best campsite we stayed at on our trip! Everything was top notch: beautiful pitches, stunning and convenient location, lots of walks in the area, clean amenities, and very helpful and friendly staff. Watching Noodle the cat scamper around was the cherry on top. Would stay again in a heartbeat and will be recommending Red Squirrel to anyone camping in the Glencoe area!
