Campfires are allowed in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, though visitors are, of course, advised to be safe and careful when ever lighting fires. Campers must ensure their campfire is built in a fire bowl or in an area where it will cause no damage. Additionally, visitors must bring their own wood, as wood collection is not allowed on-site. Some Loch Lomond campsites and glampsites also provide their own firepit or equivalent, so it's best to check a site listing to see if they have these available prior to your stay.

Rules regarding fires are in place in Loch Lomond "camping management zones" from 1 March to 30 September. Campers must remove all traces of their tent pitch and open fire before leaving.

Hipcamp has the perfect pitch to match your camping style.
