  • Family holiday park with spectacular Loch Lomond views at Ardlui
  • Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park access from the pitches
  • Bar, restaurant and entertainment throughout the year at Ardlui Hotel
Up at the northernmost tip of Loch Lomond, Ardlui Holiday Home Park is a small site with a range of accommodation, all overlooking the water. That’s right – the park has a fabulous location in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, making it easy for walkers, cyclists, photographers and wildlife watchers alike to get out on the hills directly from the pitches, or to get down to the loch for watersports and fishing. This site is also a handy overnighter for anyone ‘doing’ the West Highland Way, which runs along the east side of the loch between Fort William and Milngavie. The walking route is accessed via a ferry from Ardlui Marina, which is only five minutes’ walk away. Kids and dogs are welcome at this friendly site, and there are plenty of facilities to make life comfortable and convenient for all guests – you'll have the use of a launderette, a chemical disposal point and bathrooms with toilets and showers. The Ardlui Hotel is a few steps away too, serving homemade food in the cosy restaurant and a plethora of whiskies – just what you need as a pick-me-up after a day out in the bracing Scottish air – and beers in the welcoming pub. In the pub, you’re welcome to play pool, fire up the jukebox or warm up by the log stove in the winter. There are also lively entertainment nights throughout the year in the hotel.

Fully-serviced gravel and sand touring pitch

Liked: The view
Toilets were clean

Disliked: VERY noisy seasonal pitches- noise did not stop till 3am. These people seemed to do whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. Jet skis out at 10pm. Tents pitched on the grass (despite the site rules saying no tents).
Constant comings and goings all day and all night in various vehicles/modes of transport (eg. Rangers x 2, electric scooters, 4x4s, jet skis)
noisy owners from chalets playing loud music into the small hours.

Preschool child from the marina house left to roam alone. Had a very fast metal motor buggy and no helmet! Could have crashed into anyones car or caravan and parents would never have known. Accompanying dog also roaming. Since he was playing with our children we felt somewhat responsible.


Ok for 1 night stop over.

Dog poo on grass.

Fully-serviced gravel and sand touring pitch

Liked: Clean facilities, fantastic location, view of the loch was stunning and there was a really nice pub next door. Nothing to fault and we were upgraded (for free) to a loch side view because one was available. We’ll be back.

Disliked: Not a dislike as such but there was no WiFi. Not as issue for us as we wouldn’t have needed it anyway.

Camping pod

Liked: Nothing really. The view. That's about it. Nowhere to walk from site. On a main road. Staff in pub where friendly

Disliked: Pod was very run down. Next to wardens shed an gas storage area. Photos don't show that. Decking collapsed under feet, rotten. Bed mattresses where flat as a pancake, basicallly slept on a plank of wood. Nowhere to complain to as warden was run off his feet. Toilets, shower dirty.
Hole in door. Door wouldn't lock.
The whole site was a dump. In need of a lot of maintenance.

Local attractions

There’s a lot to get stuck into within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park if you’re a keen hiker, climber or cyclist. If you’d rather take a scenic drive, the Rest and Be Thankful Viewpoint (half an hour’s drive) is a fine spot to pull over. There are also boat cruises on Loch Lomond (35 minutes) for explorations that don’t require much walking. Can’t relate? Don’t worry, just don a pair of hiking boots (or skis if it’s winter) and set about the Glencoe (40 minutes) slopes. Queen Elizabeth Forest Park (an hour) is also a handy spot for a good ramble or some biking. There’s also the stunning hike at Ben A'an (an hour and 10 minutes) for views over Loch Katrine and Loch Achray. Ben More (20 minutes) is a slightly more local spot, and a challenging climb if you really want to get the blood pumping. While you're here, you may fancy checking out some of the nearby castles. Dumbarton Castle (40 minutes) is a striking one set on a volcanic rock overlooking the sea. Inveraray Castle (50 minutes) on the shore of Loch Fyne is also spectacular, with huge gardens, a tearoom and castle room tours.
