About the site

The site acts as a base for keen hikers looking to spend their days walking through Scotland's countryside and provides an interesting array of activities. There are wild camping pitches for tents only. There's also a mix of non electric and electric grass pitches for both campers and tourers alike, as well as electric hardstanding pitches for tourers only. In addition to these, you'll also find 16 bell tents, each sleeping up to three, with either a double bed and a single bed or three singles. These beds will either be camp beds or air beds. Or, there is one shepherd's hut sleeping up to two with a double bed, a TV and a wood burning stove for cosy evenings. There is also a sink and a water tap. There are even rooms in a chalet and hotel rooms available! Pets are welcome to join you.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesSep 2025

The site appears to mainly cater to people walking the West Highland Way and I can imagine that they land at the site, needing a hot shower and to get dry and warm and to rest. I can imagine all of these needs being fulfilled very nicely. We were greeted by a really friendly guy who could not be more helpful and kind, and were guided to the most fabulous spot overlooking the nearby countryside. It was a 5 star position. Thank you! It's really the bathroom area that attracts such a low rating. They were really grubby and old. That said, the water was hot and plentiful. There was even hot water outside at the dish washing area, so top marks for that too!
