Dog-friendly camping in Argyll Forest Park

For enjoying sunny days and taking advantage of the long daylight hours, April through September is the best time to visit Argyll Forest Park, but the height of the summer season does sometimes bring crowded trails. If planning to visit in the summer months, it’s a good idea to at least avoid school holidays and weekends. Staying overnight in car parks is only permitted from late April through October.

• Be sure to follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code while out and about.
• Glenbranter is the main area of the forest park. At the Glenbranter Forest Office you can pick up maps and use the public toilets. There is also a coffee shop at Benmore Botanic Garden.
• Buses from Dunoon to Strachur and Inverary pass the entrance to the Glenbranter, Puck’s Glen and Benmore areas: tell the driver where you want to get off.
