What customers say

Glendaruel: peaceful, well-kept woodland escape in a beautiful, remote spot. Great scenery, walks from the site, and owner Annie is lovely. Facilities are clean and excellent. Some found it far from shops with limited public transport. A few minor gripes: uneven pitches, wished for more hooks.

Liked Very welcoming and helpful host. Good decent-sized pitches. Lovely quiet woodland campsite. Good facilities.

Disliked The site is a long way from anywhere so expect to drive to do anything. There are a few short local walks but because of a recent storm some of these were shut during our stay.

Route directions

Warning: If you are using a satnav, do not turn off the A886 onto the West Glendaruel Road. The main entrance to the park is located off the A886: satnav postcode PA22 3AE brings you to the correct park entrance. By ferry: Leave Glasgow on the M8 and continue on the A8 to Greenock. At Greenock take the A770 and take the Western Ferries from McInroy’s Point (Gourock) to Hunter’s Quay (Dunoon). After leaving the ferry turn right and follow coastal route to a T-Junction. Turn right onto the A815, then take the left turn onto the B836. At the end of this road turn right at the T-Junction onto the A886. The park entrance is approximately 4 miles ahead on the left. Note: If you are towing a caravan by the ferry route, the B836 road is not recommended. From the above, simply continue on the A815 to Strachur. Turn left onto the A886 and the park lies 13 miles south on the right. From Kintyre: Take the CalMac ferry from Tarbert to Portavadie. Leave the ferry and drive to the crossroads at Millhouse. Continue straight ahead following the B8000 to Tighnabruaich. Continue on the road past Kames post office and down the hill. Turn left onto the A8003 towards Colintraive. Arriving at the junction with the A886 turn left towards Glendaruel. The park entrance is approximately 3 miles ahead on the left. Local public transport: There is a bus route which passes the park entrance and you should search for times between Dunoon and Duiletter (the driver will drop you at the park entrance).
