Waterside camping in Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve

Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve is open every day, all year-round. For the optimal conditions for hillwalking and mountain climbing, the best time to visit is during spring or summer, which is also the best time to see flowering plants. Weather conditions in winter, and much of fall, can be challenging. If planning to visit any time of year, be sure to have weatherproof gear.

• Trails up to the mountains start at the car park. Visitors heading onto the trails should have sturdy walking boots, warm and waterproof clothing, and food and drink for the day. 
• Visitors should observe the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, leave no trace and refrain from picking flowers.
• The closest public bus stop is in the village of Killin, just outside the reserve. This is also where you’ll find the closest public restroom.
