Cashel Camping

Rowardennan, Stirling And Falkirk, Scotland
1 acre hosted by Abi ?.
Pitch on the banks of Loch Lomond, Britain's longest stretch of fresh water (23 miles in case you're wondering!)

The 'bonnie banks' of Loch Lomond have been Scotland’s rural retreat for many a year. Teeming with dramatic hills, serene lochs and the freshest of fresh air, the region's popularity shows no sign of dwindling – and rightly so. Activities for the lively are bountiful, as are interesting places to try some traditional food, knock back a dram of whisky, or experience one of Scotland’s standout strolls, along the West Highland Way. Located right on the peaceful shores of Loch Lomond is Cashel, a welcoming, harmonious campsite with one hell of a view.

Cashel is vast, but despite having over 160 camping spaces, it’s not hard to find a pitch with unobstructed loch views, although to guarantee this we suggest you book a premier pitch. The onsite facilities cover most needs and are clean, well maintained, and include one of the strongest showers you’re ever likely to encounter whilst camping! There’s also a small shop which sells all the things you may have forgotten (groceries and camping essentials), whilst the onsite takeaway provides campers with a much needed pre-hike caffeine boost.

Loch Lomond (Britain’s largest freshwater lake) was recognised back in 2002, when it became the focal point of the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, the country's very first national park. Scotland's second most famous loch (after Ness of course!) extends from Balloch in the south up to Killin, and Callander west to the dense forests of Cowal. Ben Lomond is the most popular mountain for hill walking in the area. Superb views across rolling hills and tranquil water are your reward for the effort required to reach the summit.

“So, any negatives?” we hear you enquire. Well, touring caravans, motor homes and trailer tents are all welcomed at Cashel, a fact that may raise a few eyebrows in the traditional camping community. But as you pitch next to the beautiful, lush surroundings of Loch Lomond and the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, you soon realise that despite initial worries, Cashel is most definitely a cool place to camp.
