Woodland campsites in The Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park

·

Forest camping in The Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park means waking up to pine-scented air, moss underfoot, and trails that start right at your tent flap. With over 90 forest sites in this national park, you’ll find pitches tucked among ancient oaks and birch, some just steps from loch shores. Bring your dog—most sites are pet-friendly—and expect practical facilities like toilets and fire pits. You can spend your days hiking ridge lines, fishing on glassy lochs, or joining a horseback trek through the woods. If you want recommendations, Loch Katrine Eco Camping (36 reviews) puts you right on the water, West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite (19 reviews) sits on a classic long-distance walking route, and Culdees Castle Estate Glamping (11 reviews) offers a woodland experience beside a historic estate. Prices average £47 per night, with options dipping as low as £8 if you’re travelling light. Stick to the marked paths, clear your rubbish, and you’ll see why locals keep coming back to camp in these woods.

6. Cleghorn Farm

100%
(11)
15 units · Tents, Glamping · Lanark, Scotland
*PLEASE NOTE THE CABIN IS AVAILABLE FOR MIDWEEK AND WEEKEND BOOKINGS. CAMPING WILL RETURN IN SPRING 2026.* Cleghorn Farm is a mixed farm just north east of the market town of Lanark. Comprised of 250 acres of fields and woodland and bounded to the south by Mouse Water, it is a beautiful spot to get away from it all without having to leave it all behind if you don't want to. The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

7. The Charcoal Huts - Isle of Bute

100%
(3)
2 units · Glamping · Scotland
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.
