Bell tent
Liked Views are amazing. Great options available, hotel, campsite, bell tents and spaces for camper vans. Andrew the host was really friendly and was always available if you have any questions. Plenty of free wood available for the camp fires but take take something to get the fire started.
Disliked Need to update the postcode in the pitch up website to G63 9AW. We ended up 2 other places before we found the correct post code.
Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked The campsite is pretty. Owner really friendly. Dog friendly. Breakfast possible and also lunch.
Disliked Toilets/Shower were a little bit dirty.
Dogs of owner were unleashed and the younger ones really intrusive. Difficult if you have a reactive dog.
Please be aware! The address isn’t correct. You have to drive to “the West Highland Way Campside”.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Great facilities, just off the West Highland Way.

Bell tent
Liked Beautiful surroundings, lovely walks, good facilities, host was very helpful. The glamming tents were comfortable with clean bedding and towels provided.
Disliked Continental breakfast was included and drinks (tea, coffee, hot choc and juice) were provided 24/7 which was great.
The foods menu was very expensive , which was a shame as we would have eaten on site if it was more reasonable.

Great site, misleading information from Pitch Up
Bell tent
Liked Hosts were fantastic, campsite was clean and tidy!
Disliked Information provided on Pitch Up website were inaccurate/misleading. Breakfast is not included. Fridges are not available to hire. You need to provide your own camping cable if you want electric hook-up

From the manager: Hi Aaron. We apologise about the fridge. We will change that on the site. As you know we are a new campsite and we had an issue with flooding earlier this month. Continental breakfast is included for free. Cooked breakfast is £10. Thank you again for everything. Danuta and Jacek

Disliked Costs. Not worth the money charged owner was meant to give me 6.00 change after paying him in cash. We booked a hardstanding with grass. We were put into a car park for the night. It cost £40 per night but cost us £46. We weren't told where to get water. Or where to dispose of our chemical waste/grey waste. This site is not ready for guests. The cost of meals on offer were over priced as well £30 for a dinner £15 for dessert restaurant prices. The smell of dogs in the dining room alone put us off.

From the manager: Hi
Yes we are a new site. The £6 was for the Pitchup Commission and not charged by us. All you had to do was to ask a member of staff where the water and waste disposal units were and we would have happily showed you. Meals are always optional and not compulsory. As a consumer you always have a choice. Yes we are pet friendly here and guests do bring dogs. Thank you. We wish you well. Aleta
