Solo camping trip - 2 nights
Small Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Aug 2025 Thank you for such a lovely welcome and being a friendly quiet safe place to solo camp.
Amazing campsite
Small Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Aug 2025 Amazing campsite!
Beautiful views, great coffed, friendly staff. Toilets are deeply clean every day (very needed with a full campsite), great experience!
It would be good to have extra showers, there's only 4 for ladies plus 4 outside for a full park is not that much.
Excellent campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Aug 2025 Awesome staff who couldn't be more helpful when I forgot a few items. The campsite is beautiful and there was loads of space for each tent. Great facilities on site.
Pub a 10min walk away, ice cream/coffee van and also an amazing food truck.
Absolutely wonderful
Medium Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Aug 2025 We absolutely loved this campsite, a small blip on arrival but sorted out the next day, couldn't find fault whatsoever, loved the location and all it had to offer, the staff were brilliant and friendly.
We weathered storm Floris and was impressed with the concerns of the staff and their advice, we truly can't wait to return.
Summer stay
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jul 2025 Excellent campsite 🏕️ great set up, friendly people and well maintained.
Fabulous! lovely location and close to many wonderful places
Medium Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jul 2025 Jon, Jack and I had a great time, first visit to a campground since I was a teenager (longer ago than I care to admit, leave a girl her secrets) and its going to be hard to beat!
Lovely friendly staff and beautiful location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jul 2025 I stayed at Red Squirel under its previous owners who were great but the facilities were basic, with the new upgrades, this campsite is definitely one of the best for walkers and hikers.
Experience
Roof Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jul 2025 Amazing site, great first family holiday away together and highly recommend it to anyone.
We love the fact we got left alone, no overly strict rules.
Thanks again.
Good site for exploring the Highlands
Small Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jul 2025 Great location. The site is larger than I usually prefer and was busy most of the time. Toilets and showers are cleaned two or three times a day - They're closed for a short period in the middle of the day for cleaning, but also get a quick clean in the morning and evening. The ground is very uneven, so a sleeping mat or similar is useful.
There's a small shop and two food stalls on site, with a nice pub half a mile away. Glencoe itself (the village) is about half a mile away, and the site is in the valley, with the river Coe running next to the site.
There's lots of local walking (mainly hills) and beautiful scenery, even when the weather's not at its best.
A little further away are Ballachulish and Loch Leven, and past that there's Fort William, which is the largest town in the area. Further afield there's even more to see and do. I was there for a week and really needed at least a few more days.
Great place
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jul 2025 Lovely location for a campsite, with a great pub near by.
Beautiful campsite
Medium Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jul 2025 Honestly this is a beautiful campsite, full of Scottish scenic views! The people who work there are super friendly and helpful! The food van and wee cake and coffee van happened to be open when we were there and the food portions are huge with great prices too! We would 100% recommend this campsite!
However, the only downfall was we went in mid summer, there's soooo many midges! We got eaten alive, even with wearing bug repellent and having citronella. You can buy mosquito nets for your face, but we would recommend going here outwith July and August.. but if you're not bothered by them, you'll be fine.
Lovely wee campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jun 2025 Fantastic little gem of a campsite just a mile or so out from the three sisters car park.
Upon arrival the reception is in immediate view, greeted by a lovely woman with short hair who was very informative. Had a wee drive round and picked our spot to park up at.
Everyone in the campsite was respectful and quiet. It was lovely to see deer just walking around carefree in the campsite too.
My dogs and my girlfriend loved their stay and we will definitely be back.
Beware of midges
Large Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jun 2025 Lovely campsite, we couldn't fault it - between hills and a little river, lots of trees and plenty of space to camp. Beautiful site.
Facilities were clean, there was a food van and an additional van with coffee and cake, you can get your essentials (including a fire pit with wood) at the reception. A pub within a short walk, plenty of other places within a short drive.
But you must be aware of midges, they take no prisoners. We were wearing nets whenever outside and we still got half-eaten.
Beautiful campsite with stunning scenery around
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jun 2025 It's a fantastic campsite to stay. Upon arrival we have received a warm welcome and all information we may need during our stay.
The site is surrounded by nature with beautiful mountain and rivers views. We wish to stay longer and we will definitely return to Red Squirrel.
Thank you to all members of staff.
Beautiful location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Jun 2025 I loved my stay here! Everyone was so welcoming and lovely, very helpful, as travelling on my own with my dogs.
I felt so comfortable staying here meeting and talking to different people, thank you for having us! Definitely be travelling up again soon.
Solo camping
Small Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches May 2025 This site is awesome. It has all the amenities you need and it's a stunning place to camp I would highly recommend it. I will be going back.
Great site
Small Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches May 2025 Excellent campsite, great staff, would recommend to anyone.
Will definitely be staying again
Great Campsite near Glencoe
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Wild Pitches May 2025 We only stayed one night en route to Mull but Red Squirrel would be a in great location from which to explore Glencoe and its mountains.
The facilities were clean and well maintained.
Great place!
Small Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches May 2025 I was really impressed by the site! I will most certainly come back!
Amazing campsite
Small Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches May 2025 An amazing site where you can pitch up anywhere you fancy amongst the trees. Due to the exceptional warm & dry weather, campfires were a no go, but it didn't spoil our stay.
This site is by far the best we've stayed on and will definitely return.
Silver lining
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Wild Pitches May 2025 I've given the Red Squirrel 5 stars on each of the categories, not something I do lightly.
My stay there was a last minute thing after changes at an event meant somewhere had to be found. All I needed was somewhere to park, and sleep overnight, while I was off doing my job. Wwhat I got was so much more.
Yes, as it is a wild camping site, meant I wasn't expecting knobs bells and whistles, nor do I actually need such stuff, what I do need are clean toilets and showers with hot water - see five stars on the cleanliness and facilities.
All the staff I met - check-in, site info, odd questions - were knowledgeable, helpful, polite and knew the surrounding area, so five stars on the standard of service. Can't fault the cost of the stay either and the actual location was excellent from a camping point of view and only seven miles away from where I was working each day.
The fact a deer strolled past my plot as I was having a coffee one morning was just a bonus. So, yes, Red Squirrel worked for me.
Moidart run
Small Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Apr 2025 Overall, nice staff and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
Lovely location
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Wild Pitches Apr 2025 I wish I had arrived earlier.
My date for this site was not a good one against the British weather. It was really windy and raining. I can do rain but not with wind. Once I set up I stayed in my campervan. The next morning, I went for a dog walk and could see some camping disasters due to the high winds. Showers are clean tidy and spacious.
Food shack on site for cuppas and lovely bacon sarnies. I will be back again later in the year.
Convenient location
Medium Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Apr 2025 Great site with everything you need to have a relaxing break in Glen Coe.
Convenient location to the mountains and Fort William, among other attractions.
Worth every penny Medium Tent - Non Electric Wild Pitches Apr 2025 Fantastic place with lovely facilities and even lovlier people working there. We had the best time and can say we've truly found our new go-to campsite.
