When travelling in Scotland, you will want to have the confidence in the quality of your accommodation, knowing that it will play a big part in the whole pleasurable experience of your holiday.
Our location in Lochearnhead provides an ideal base for walking, water-sports, cycling, with flora & fauna and wild life in abundance. There are many local historic places to inspire you and bring the history of the highlands to life.

The view you wake up to is breathtaking! The pods themselves are immaculate and stocked with everything you need. You have your own private bathroom which is heated and again immaculately clean. Lovely and quiet!

Absolutely stunning location - you worry when you arrive as it’s a really popular tourist attraction but the car park empties out and it’s very peaceful. Nice walk along the loch side or a boat ride on the loch plus good cafe

We loved the cabin. Spacious and we slept very well. The best shower ever! The campsite has wonderful views and is well maintained. We used the bbq and fire pit. The barn is well equipped for cooking and relaxing. Angus is a wonderful host. Definitely would return to Muiredge when in Scotland!

The pods were clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Unfortunately the fly screen for our door was broken so it was a choice of being gnawed on by midges or being very hot- we chose the heat which was a bit uncomfortable but a fan had been provided which helped. The views were incredible of the loch and mountains and the walking and cycling just stunning. It's a little public with it being next to the main path but if you aren't looking for seclusion then it's fine and we found it vibrant and interesting watching the boats and people coming and going. The food in the cafe was excellent and we enjoyed the take away option, it does close fairly early so best to get there before 5:15pm. All in all it was a beautiful spot and very good accommodation and we had a brilliant time.

Runach Arainn is even more lovely in person than in the photos. Great location for a peaceful and relaxing stay on Arann. The yurts are comfortable, the kitchen/fire-pit etc are well-equipped and the orchard setting is beautiful. It's just a short walk to the beach or to the Lagg Inn for dinner. Highly recommend.

St. Conan's Escape was lovely- the perfect place to stay during our venture to western Scotland. The accommodations were perfect, the view was excellent, and the host was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be looking up this cute little Basecamp for our next adventure in Scotland! Thank you!

1 night at West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite
Very friendly staff. Easy to find. Great facilities. Lovely walks right at back of premises.
Only downside for me was the noise off other campers. People turning up and setting stuff up after 10 pm. Also loud group of lads. But I’m use to wild camping so maybe noise would be acceptable for most.

Quite basic - you're sleeping in a car park - but it's beautiful setting and the toilets were clean.

Campsites with fishing near Lochgilphead guide
Where to go
Around Lochgilphead
In the center of town, next to the Crinan Canal, Lochgilphead Caravan Park offers a convenient location within steps of shops and restaurants and within walking distance of Kilmory Castle. The site has large touring pitches for caravans and motorhomes, as well as static caravans for rent.
Ardfern
Around 15 miles northwest of Lochgilphead, the bustling little village of Ardfern lies on the Craignish peninsula, facing the Loch Craignish sea loch. There’s lots of walking routes along the loch’s shores with views toward the offshore islands. For those traveling by motorhome, caravan or campervan, the small Ardfern Motorhome Park offers peaceful lochside pitches with scenic views.
Tarbert
A 20-minute drive south of Lochgilphead, the pretty harbor town of Tarbert is a hub for fishing fleets and ferry transport to the islands. The view from the ruined Tarbert Castle takes in the harborfront and over Loch Fyne. Tarbert Holiday Park has spacious touring pitches and heated glamping pods.
When to go
For enjoying long, sunny days in the great outdoors, visiting Lochgillphead in the summer months is best, although this is peak season and can get busy, especially during school holidays. September or October is a good alternative for smaller crowds and pretty scenery as the blooming heather turns the hills purple. Winter is quiet but days are cold and short, with the sun setting as early as 4 p.m.
Know before you go
- Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
- Wild camping is possible along Loch Fyne but comes with responsibilities. Check the Scottish Outdoor Access Code website to find out more.
- You can reach Lochgilphead by bus from Glasgow. Local buses also run to many places of interest around the Kintyre peninsula.
