What customers say
This small, friendly campsite boasts a stunning lochside location with beautiful views and abundant wildlife, including Highland cows. Guests praised the helpful and welcoming owners, spacious pitches with fire pits, and the peaceful atmosphere. The on-site fishing is a popular activity. While facilities are basic, primarily a portaloo, many found the site excellent value for its tranquil setting and personal touches. Some visitors noted issues with fishing quantity and difficult ground conditions. Improvements such as more bins and showers are anticipated.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Clean, quiet and good hosts.
Non-electric grass and gravel tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very enjoyable weekend on site at lochside holiday park, our kids enjoyed the fishing and we will be back in the new year
Disliked Fish were lacking in quantity and size. Something I would like to have seen more off, it might be related to the time of year.
Access to the jetties near the campsite is quite difficult but we managed to get to a few on the other side but limited catches.
