Our Huts are located within the Moss Wood area of Bute Forest - a mixed birch and alder wood that extends up the hillside to the west of the A886 that connects the Rhubodach Ferry to Port Bannatyne and Rothesay.
Moss Wood has a range of facilities. Park on the shore-side where the coast can be enjoyed or at the main entrance, and take a walk up through Moss Wood along the Poetry Trail. A steep walk in places, the Poetry Trail is a loop punctuated with places to stop and read, to stop and think. Read nature poetry from throughout the ages, stop at the Blether Stane, or taking the spur to the Viewing Point back south across the Kyles.
Moss Wood connects to the West Island Way – take the Poetry Trail and the spur to the Viewing Point – and then take the Stag’s Trod further up (steeply) till you reach the West Island Way. From there, head south towards Port Bannatyne or north along the boundary of the Community Forest. From the viewing point, you can also explore interesting heritage features such as the old WW2 bunker, kayak shelter, Balnakailly settlement, and the SSSI oak woodland.

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. Or perhaps you'd simply choose to curl up with a good book and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a slower pace of life.
Wester Auchraw is located on the A84, Cycle Route 7 and the much loved walk 'Rob Roy Way'. It sits amongst spectacular scenery in Highland Perthshire yet is only 1 hour's drive from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth.

43km from Glencoe · 1 unit · Glamping
This self-contained trailer has been a well loved part our home since 2010. We’re happy to welcome friends and visitors to stay in it from time to time.
A beautiful, wild and remote setting on the West Coast of Scotland. Peace and quiet! A useful stopover on the way to the Skye ferry. Cars/bikes and wellington boots are recommended. Eggs from our free range hens are available to buy. It is a drive to reach the small local shops/pubs. Walks to beaches and woods. We look forward to welcoming you.
The vintage caravan is a cosy, quiet, self-contained space positioned close by our house. It is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis. Through the windows you can glimpse mountains and trees. There’s a small double bedroom and another small bedroom that can be arranged either with a generous single or small twin beds that are ideal for young children. The living area has couches and a dining table. The kitchenette has all the basics, fridge, microwave and a gas cooker. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and toilet.
This self-catering accommodation has its own private lockable entrance. Guests have access to the caravan, garden, and driveway.
Nearest shops/pubs are a 20-30min DRIVE away - it's a good idea to bring everything you need as the road is long and you may not feel like going out again!
Please let me know in advance if you require the small twin beds made up.
From the last week of May through to early September it is midge season in the Scottish Highlands, so be prepared to encounter these tiny biting flies - however, a light breeze and a stick of citronella incense is usually enough to disperse them! On still nights I strongly recommend that you keep the windows closed, otherwise you may find clouds of midges invade your space. There is a cooling fan to make warm evenings more comfortable.
A haven for creatives! During April and October we host artists’ residencies specially for socially engaged practitioners who would benefit from some time to rest and reconnect with nature. When you book via Hipcamp, a small community fee is added to your daily booking charge and this goes to support these residencies by helping to pay for logs for the wood stove during the artists' visits.

One of the nicest campsites I've ever been to. Extremely remote, but the road leading up is easy to do even with a city car. The hike to Scoraig lighthouse from the campsite is one I'll never forget. The bothy serving as common room is great, nice to get some shelter to prep a meal and relax.

Absolutely stunning campsite - beautiful walk down to the loch which was just so clear and peaceful. Lovely little plots - just right for our campervan. Toilets and showers were clean and functional. Only downside was the midges - I would have loved to stay outside for longer but we had to retreat to the van. Highly recommended though.

Beautiful views up the Loch. Quite a steep climb but easily achievable. Fire pit, bbq and seating area ideal. Even the compostable toilet had a great view!

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.

A lovely quiet laid back site with stunning views of the mountains with a short walk down to the loch which gives you fantastic views back across the loch in both directions. Facilities met all my demands, the showers were very good, a Bothy to hand as well if the weather or the midges get to bad. 🤪
Fire pits provided but bring your own wood.
I fully recommend a stop here if you are in the area.

2 nights at The Charcoal Huts - Isle of Bute
The Charcoal Huts were so magical. We stayed in Birch and it had amazing views, was quite private and had everything we needed - including things we forgot.
It was beautiful and cosy inside and the fire kept us so warm. I really loved this place.

Beach camping near Glencoe guide
Where to go
Glencoe Village
Steps from the shores of Loch Leven, a top spot for kayaking, Invercoe Caravan and Camping Park has lots of touring pitches for motorhomes, caravans and tents. A short walk from the Glencoe National Trust for Scotland Visitor Centre, the Glencoe Camping and Caravanning Club Site offers plenty of grass and hardstanding pitches surrounded by woodland and mountain views. Close by and tucked away beside the River Coe, Red Squirrel Camping offers basic camping in its meadow and woodland pitches.
Kinlochleven
Three miles north of Glencoe and just outside the village of Kinlochleven, Caolasnacon Caravan and Camping Park offers unmarked grass pitches for camping and touring in an idyllic setting overlooking Loch Leven—the site has a limited number of electric hookups. A couple of miles farther north and close to the West Highland Way, Blackwater Glamping and Camping is an ideal choice for weary hikers. The site’s pitches are suitable for small tents only while their glamping pods offer a touch of relative luxury.
Glencoe Mountain
Twelve miles south of Glencoe Village, the Campsite at Glencoe Mountain Resort offers camping, caravan and campervan pitches in a wooded area on Rannoch Moor with views of the pyrmaidal peak of Buachaille Etive Mòr, as well as the possibility of spotting golden eagles soaring overhead. The site also has a selection of comfortable microlodges, which are especially popular with tired walkers, skiers and bikers.
When to go
For long and often sunny days, May to August is the best period to visit—in the height of summer it doesn’t get dark until close to 11 p.m. The summer months, however, see Glencoe fill up with a large number of tourists and families taking advantage of school holidays. September is a great month to visit as most of the large crowds have gone and the fall colors throughout the valley are beautiful, while spring is an especially good time to see wildlife. Skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts will not be daunted by winter’s chilly temperatures.
Know before you go
- Not all campsites are open year-round: check opening dates before traveling.
- If choosing to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
- A convenient bus service connects Glencoe with Fort William, Glasgow and beyond. In summer it’s advisable to book your tickets in advance.
- Biting midges are a common nuisance in the Highlands in summer. It’s a good idea to wear long sleeves and bring repellent.
- You can buy basic provisions in Glencoe and there are a couple of larger supermarkets just outside the village.
