What customers say
This peaceful, secluded site offers stunning countryside and loch views, with spacious pitches featuring picnic tables and fire pits. Guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful owners and the immaculately clean toilet facilities. While some found the site basic and slightly pricey given the lack of showers and other amenities, many appreciated the "wild camping" feel and the presence of highland cows. Some constructive feedback concerned ground conditions for pegging tents and on-site communication.

Must for campers who like the feeling of wild Camping .
Non-electric grass and gravel tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We loved it so much that instead of staying for 1 night we stayed for another 4 nights. We knew that there was a toilet on sight but no shower facilities which we managed with with body washes next to our tent. Peaceful tranquil next to a fishing lake, plenty of bird life to witness on the lake and highland cattle nearby as well as the sound of the lambs nearby which made a refreshing change from cars lorries and motorbikes sounds. Delightful pitches with Wooden picnic tables on each pitch as well as a fire pit [which we made use of every night}. Delightful owners who went out of their way to help. If you can look by the no showers then i highly recommend this site . You wont be disappointed.

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.
