Where can I find camping options near Dunoon?

North of Dunoon, and stretching seven miles through Argyll Forest Park, the freshwater Loch Eck has a number of sheltered beaches that are ideal for wild camping. You can access these sites by walking in from Benmore Botanic Garden or by kayak/canoe. Additionally, Cot House Caravan Park, located a 10-minute drive north of Dunoon's town center, offers a peaceful retreat at the head of Holy Loch, alongside the river Eachaig. It can accommodate caravans and motorhomes with electric hookup and is well placed for those who want to sea fish on Holy Loch or go biking in the surrounding woods. Some private sites in the area are seasonal, so it's important to check opening dates before traveling. If you choose to wild camp, you can find out more about your rights and responsibilities on the Scottish Outdoor Access Code website. There are also plenty of privately owned formal campsites in the area. You can also explore different options for camping near Dunoon on Hipcamp.
