Campsites with showers in Argyll Forest Park

·

The craggy peaks, misty glens and serene lochs that comprise Argyll Forest Park cover a vast swath of Argyll’s Cowal peninsula, and much of it lies within Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The forest park stretches all the way from the Holy Loch, an inlet of the Firth of Clyde, to the peaks of the Arrochar Alps and lies at the southern end of the Highland Boundary Fault that marks the line between the Lowlands and Highlands. The diverse, rugged landscapes are ideal for hiking and mountain biking, as well as spotting wildlife including red deer and red squirrels. While there are no campsites, motorhomes and campervans can stay overnight at the Ardentinny and Loch Eck’s Jubilee Point car parks.

Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

9. Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

2 units · Glamping · Roy Bridge, Scotland
Glamping pods in a large garden alongside the river Roy A 10-minute drive from Loch Lochy and 20 minutes from Fort William Seating in the garden and kitchen and ensuites provided Right on the side of the river Roy, the Highland and Transylvania Glamping Pods is a properly cosy base in the Scottish Highlands. The large garden has a terrace, river views and a seating area, but perhaps the best bit is that it’s located a short drive from lochs, glens, rivers and long-distance trails. What might you get up to? Climbing, hill walking, mountain biking and water-based sports are all on the agenda in this area, but especially in Fort William (20 minutes’ drive) and Lochaber, which have been ascribed as a capital for outdoor adventures. Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, is also 20 minutes’ drive away. Even closer is Loch Lochy (10 minutes’ drive), which has access to part of the 79-mile Great Glen Way (around 10 minutes’ drive). From Fort William, start off on another long-distance trail, the West Highland Way, which stretches for 96 miles across the banks of Loch Lomond and ends in Milngavie. The pods here have been named after the places where the owners spent their childhood and continue to live. Feel free to stop off while travelling to or from the Isle of Skye (two hours and 10 minutes) or stay for a good while… Fort William’s centre has a splendid selection of pubs, restaurants, shops and a bus and rail station. Plus, there are lots of links courses for golfers a day trip away, like the Royal Dornoch (two hours and 25 minutes). Both pods have a small double bed (a bit narrower than a standard double) with all bed linen provided. The kitchen areas are equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster (crockery, cutlery and towels are handily provided). To keep things nice and tasty, the pods are also well insulated. The patio doors and the rear opening window are both double glazed and there are electric radiators to inject some extra heat into the kitchen and living area.

Campsites with showers in Argyll Forest Park guide

When to go

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.

Know before you go

  • 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.
