  • 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.

What customers say

Great loch views, friendly staff. Clean, modern facilities noted. Touring pitches well-liked, especially lakeside. Pub/restaurant popular but pricey. Some found pitches tight, dated facilities, noise, water issues. Good stopover, less for long stays.

Liked Wanted a quiet peaceful break. Got one!
Stayed in the loch facing pitches, electric.
Incredible view despite crappy weather all weekend.
In response the previous reviews, yeah there's nowhere to walk FROM the site but PLENTY a short drive away.
We climbed ben arthur which was a super fun challenge. We've never hiked before but we have a general good level of fitness so doable. Took 4 hours total there and back.
Toilet and shower facilities were excellent. Warm block. Hair dryer. Cubicles big enough for comfortable shower with curtain and hook to keep belongings dry.
Drovers inn pub 4 minute drive well worth a visit. Good food and live music.
Also eir sauna about 20min drive, excellent experience.
We didn't even check in because we arrived late. We havnt seen a member of staff yet, but needed for nothing.

Disliked Nothing.
Can't talk for hotel/pub/restaurant as didn't try them.
Can't fault it- if only we could control the weather!!

Liked Location was perfect for a hike up to Bridge of Orchy and train back. Great spaces with views Southbound over Loch Lomond. Handy for a cheeky pint in the Lomond bar too 🤙. Good facilities for dumping and ditching gash.

Disliked We felt that the toilet block needed a deep clean, actually any kind of clean.

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.
