Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Loch-side sleeping and exploring in one of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park's most historic locations

It’s not always clear which is the biggest attraction at Loch Katrine. The water itself – a nine-mile-long S shape in the heart of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park – or the 121-year-old single screw passenger steamship (the last of her kind) that sails across it. The world-famous steamer Sir Walter Scott came here in 1899 by barge, boat and horse-drawn carriage before being painstakingly re-assembled for her maiden voyage. Sadly, Sir Walter Scott is not currently sailing as she requires boiler repairs, please support the SOS – Save Our Steamship appeal to raise the funds to get her sailing next year. Details are on site and at the Loch Katrine website.

For today’s visitors it’s a far easier ride. A one-hour drive from Glasgow, a little more from Edinburgh, or the sleeper train from London to Stirling affording you a little less stress on your journey north. From Stirling, it's just a short drive into the spellbinding heart of the Trossachs and the Great Trossachs Forest National Nature Reserve. A truly magical setting, Sir Walter Scott described 'the scenery of a fairy dream’ in his famous poem Lady of the Lake.

Along with running the Steamship Café, the gift shop, a cycle hire centre and a fleet of boats with a variety of trips from piers around the loch, the team here at Loch Katrine also operate an excellent eco lodge site near Trossachs Pier and campervan sites at both Trossachs Pier car park and the lochside car park at Stronachlachar.

Opened in 2018, the 10 secluded lochside glamping lodges allow guests to enjoy modern comforts in the great outdoors. The lodges' prime position means glampers wake up in the long dawn shadows of Ben Venue, soundtracked by the rippling waters of Loch Katrine and the crinkling top of Ben A'an – the mountain in miniature – looming in the distance. As evening descends, the dramatic sunsets enjoyed from the lodges are very special indeed. Inside each eco lodge, a compact kitchen, heating, proper beds, TV and free Wi-Fi come as standard. The largest 'Loch' lodges also offer en suite shower rooms and underfloor heating while the new ‘Glen Lodges have en suite toilets and nearby they have their own designated showers.  The ‘Ben’ Lodges don’t have en-suite facilities but they have their own designated toilet, shower and wash hand basin close by.

As pampered as an eco lodge stay might sound, it’s still a far cry from the delights Queen Victoria experienced when she came to visit the loch in 1859, famously demanding an entire house and jetty be built for her exclusive personal use. Alas, despite the production of the gothic royal cottage and jetty, which can still be visited to this day, Queen Victoria never stayed there overnight. The 21 gun salute that greeted her arrival shattered almost every window in the house.

If you’re not listening to such tales as you take a narrated boat tour across the water, then hiring bikes on site is also a fantastic option, with a quiet and family friendly road winding alongside the loch shore for 14 miles to Stronachlachar Pier where the Pier Café provides welcome refreshments in a stunning setting. You can grab a one-way boat ticket to the far end of the loch (taking bikes and buggies on board) and pedal back along the almost car-free, loch-side road. Hiking, meanwhile, is the key attraction for many. Whether it’s a gentle stroll to Glengyle (the birthplace of Scottish legend Rob Roy MacGregor) or to nearby Primrose Hill, taking the long route to Ben Lomond or making your way up to the nearby peak of Ben A'an, there are endless opportunities to keep you occupied. The latter even boasts views back down to the loch, where you can see passenger boats gliding across the water. From up top you can really understand how Loch Katrine – “highland thief or robber” in gaelic – earned its name. It certainly steals your breath away.

Ben Ledi - Standard Eco Lodge

95% (11)
Glamping pod · Sleeps 4
When your day exploring natures wonderland is over - relax and let Loch Katrine be your home for the night. Ben Ledi (Beinn Leitir in Scottish Gaelic) is a mountain close by the Eco Camp, approximatley 7 miles away on the A821.  It is 879 m (2884 ft) high, and is classified as a Corbett.  It lies about 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) north-west of Callander, near the village of Kilmahog. It is situated in the Trossachs, an area often regarded as having some of the most romantic scenery in the Highlands. Ben Ledi is particularly well known through Walter Scott's poem Lady of the Lake.  The name, Ben Ledi is in fact a corruption of Beinn Leitir which translates to 'the Hill of the Slope', which is a very suitable description of the long south shoulder used to access the summit. A cairn was built on the top in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's jubilee. A small lochan, Lochan nan Corp, lies at 655 m above sea level about 1.5 km to the north of the summit. The name means "the little loch of the dead", and was thought to be named for an accident to a funeral party at which 200 lives were lost. In truth the lochan is on the old coffin road from Glen Finlas to St Bride's chapel close to Loch Lubnaig. The pass is therefore named the Bealach nan Corp - Pass of the Dead - and the lochan is named after the pass.Our basic lodges can comfortably accommodate 4 adults, with a double bed and a set of bunk beds. The lodge is furnished with a small country style kitchenette which includes a combo microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge and sink. There is a Freeview HDTV, free WIFI, lighting and to ensure your are kept extra cosy we have installed heating in each of the basic lodges. If you wish for linen to be provided please select this in the extras list when booking.Our toilet and shower facilities are a short walk away from the pods and are also included in your booking cost.When booking this pod you also receive 10% off on sailings on the Rob Roy and the Lady of the Lake!This Lodge is dog friendly - with £10 cleaning supplement per stay.

This lodge is named after Ben A'an which is "one of the most popularamongst Scotland'ssmall hills", the pointed peak of its west top (454 m/1491 ft) appearinglike a small mountain.  The summit areais largely treeless and comprises several rock outcrops and crags, its highestpoint being a rounded summit (461 m/1512 ft), unlike its more popular and lowerwest top. The normal route to the top is from the pay and display car park of"Ben A’an" two miles down the road from the Eco Camp, by the shore of Loch Achray.  Even though Ben A’an is not particularly high,it offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, including Loch Katrine, LochAchray, Ben Venue and even as far as the Arrochar Alps on the western shore of LochLomond. The name "Ben A’an" is an erroneous Anglicization by SirWalter Scott. Its original name is uncertain, but it has been suggested that itmay have been Am Binnean which means "the pinnacle", althoughsome sites cite it’s meaning as "the small pointed peak". Our basic lodges can comfortably accommodate 4 adults, with a double bed and a set of bunk beds.

Glamping pod · Sleeps 4
When your day exploring natures wonderland is over - relax and let Loch Katrine be your home for the night. This lodge is named after Ben Venue which is the mountain you see from the Eco Camp.  The name Ben Venue is derived from the Scottish Gaelic words meaning "the miniature mountain".  The summit lies approximately 2 kilometers south-west of the us here at the pier at the southern end of Loch Katrine.  At the foot of the mountain close to the shore of Loch Katrine is Bealach nam Bò meaning the "pass of the cattle", a reference to the lawless days when Highland cattle "lifters" used the pass to drive stolen herds to their land. Ben Venue has two summits a short distance apart. The triangulation pillar on the eastern summit has a height of 727 m above sea level, and this height is often given as the height of Ben Venue as a whole. However the western summit is shown to be slightly higher, 729 m, on the Ordnance Survey's 1:25000 map. Our basic lodges can comfortably accommodate 4 adults, with a double bed and a set of bunk beds. The lodge is furnished with a small country style kitchenette which includes a combo microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge and sink.

MH 10 - Hard Standing non-serviced Pitch
It was ok for an overnight stop. My allocated pitch was side-on to a Rocky outcrop which meant that my side access opened immediately into the exit driveway so I had to check before stepping out and there was no opportunity for my dog to have any outdoor space. Didn’t use the facilities so can’t comment, but no information was given when I checked in (and I didn’t think to ask) so I hope I put my rubbish in the correct place.

Lovely place to stay APART from being eaten alive by the midgies. Would be helpful if you could also hire a large fan to blow them away from the doors. We had a Daughter in a wheelchair and we could not eat in the cafe as the lift was broken. Sitting outside in the wind with the food going cold quickly is not good.

Loch Achray - Eco Lodge
We stayed in the helping pods next to Trossachs pier on Loch Katrine, gorgeous views out of our pod and so much to see and do locally. The pods were well presented and kitted out but the website would benefit from clearer information about what the in pod facilities consist of. Website said kitchenette but this is a sink, fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle, needless to say I had taken food which couldn't be cooked and multiple utensils/crockery and cutlery that the website said we're provided, but we're. Even with that said our children and us loved the pod and enjoyed our stay. Taking in local sights including a boat trip, local eateries and lovely walk. Highly recommend

The lodges were as described, clean, well appointed and in a beautiful setting. A check in limited to between 4pm and 5pm meant we were limited as to what we could do on the afternoon before check in.

Great place for a few days park up. We had a choice of where to park our campervan. The Loch is stunning and plenty history around its banks. You can book to use shower and toilet room, as the main toilets close 5pm shart. Cafe, gifts hop, boat fishing and cruise all on site. Defo will be back.

We stayed overnight with our rented camper van. Is a great location right near to the dock where the loch tour boats go from which has a cafe. Soon the Walter Scott steamship will be running from there again. Also you can hire e bikes to ride along the shore of the beautiful loch Katrine. There is a toilet block with a shower which is very clean and warm. Staff in the booking office are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely site easy to find. Facilities clean and tidy. No network signal but did get occasional Wi-Fi but no bother. Had breakfast in the cafe really nice too.

Nearby attractions

Catching a boat tour from Trossachs Pier to Stronachlachar is a must. The hamlet is full of history and not more than an hour’s walk from Inversnaid, a checkpoint on the West Highland Way. For cyclists, the road along the northern shore of the loch is a relatively flat, car-free tarmac surface, making it the ideal alternative route to the other end of the water. You can hire bikes from Katrine Wheelz (01877 376366) at Trossachs Pier and bikes can also be booked on board the boats, so you can cross the loch and cycle back. For other routes in the Trossachs, the ‘School House Cycle’ is a family-friendly trail that enjoys views across Loch Katrine and surrounding hills such as Ben A’an and Ben Venue. The trail itself is an easy ½-mile and can be combined with a cycle from Trossachs Pier or Stronachlachar but it also links up with 35-mile national route 7. Between Loch Katrine and Loch Achray, Ben A’an (Gaelic for “pinnacle” ) is one of Scotland’s more accessible peaks and one of the most rewarding hikes in the area. There are a series of well catalogued routes, for varying levels of hikers in the Great Trossachs Forest and Queen Elizabeth Forest Park (the latter boasts a visitor centre at the Lodge in Aberfoyle). The route from Loch Achray to the summit of Ben A’an is 2½ miles long, for those looking to experience the hilltop view without a complex climb. Other nearby attractions include the castles at Stirling (01786 450000) and Doune (01786 841742), whisky distilleries at Deanston (01786 843010) and Glengoyne (01360 550 254), the National Wallace Monument (01786 472140), Blair Drummond Safari Park (01786 841456) and Go Ape Aberfoyle (0845 094 9032).

Food and drink

There aren’t many spots with a view like Loch Katrine's own Steamship café (01877 376 799). Grab some pre-exploration breakfast, lunch or enjoy a much deserved tea and cake, all overlooking the loch. Situated at the Trossachs Pier, the café offers a warm welcome and extensive array of locally sourced fresh food on offer for families, hikers and cyclists in the area, as well as those staying at the campsite. Open daily on a seasonal basis but not in the evenings. New for 2021 there is a takeaway facility, with lochside seating.

There are a number of places to eat and drink in lochside settings and also in the nearby settlements of Brig o Turk, Callander and Aberfoyle. A daytime visit to the Pier Café at Stronachlachar by boat is highly recommended.
