Loch katrine

  • Hardstanding motorhome pitches in the Trossachs Pier car park
  • On the banks of Loch Katrine with direct access to the Trossachs Trail
  • Next to a café and departure point for loch cruises
Somewhere scenic to park your motorhome in Stirlingshire? Take a look at the touring pitches at Trossachs Pier – this location is in a fabulous spot right on the banks of Loch Katrine and in one of the UK’s largest National Nature Reserves, the Great Trossachs Forest. Technically speaking, these pitches are in the pier’s car park, but there’s rather more to it than that, as you’ll have access to toilets and showers (for an extra charge), wifi and a café serving up breakfasts, lunches, hot drinks and the like. There’s also bike hire in the car park, and it’s the departure point for various passenger cruises. Boat trips run regularly through the day but the top pick for many visitors is a ride on the Sir Walter Scott steamship, which has sailed on the loch since 1900. Once you’ve explored the loch thoroughly, don’t plan to move on too quickly – this site is located on the 40-mile Trossachs Trail for walks and bike rides, and there’s plenty more to see and do around the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, whether you’re planning to bag a few Munros, go fishing, play golf or explore some of the area’s history.

What customers say

A lovely, tranquil spot by Loch Katrine with amazing views and lots of hiking. Friendly, helpful staff and a good on-site cafe. Clean facilities, but some uneven pitches, a rough road in, and midges were issues. Some noted costs for electric and showers.

Lynne D.

Power optional cement/asphalt RV campsite (XL)

Liked It's becoming one of my favourite places regardless of the rain this weekend. I took a tea time walk with the dogs yesterday and the view around the loch was just surreal as the mist was coming down the hills so refreshing for the soul.
Although not a campsite it offers everything you need. Toilets,showers, electricity and water. We can wait until we get home to empty waste water and portaloo as there is nowhere on site but that's not a problem.
For £12 a night without electricity but free wi fi, lovely wee gift shop,takeaway and cafe it's excellent. Also the carpark is right next to the lake and they have lovely wee lights all over the pier. They are putting up more for Christmas just now
Wee bought the deal from 5pm which includes the sir Walter Scott cruise and afternoon tea for £39 plus a couple of pounds admin fee. So definitely give the place a try.

Power optional cement/asphalt RV campsite (large)

Liked An absolutely great place to stay, the staff were so helpful and accommodating it was a pleasure. On arrival they informed us of the walks we could do round the area, explained everything to us and made us feel very welcome. We had a great weekend there, and we will be definitely be going back next year, would recommend you to anyone thinking of booking.

Primitive cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked This was easy to find, and exactly as described - hard standing with optional electric pitches, toilets, a shower, and WiFi! And the cafe opened at a very reasonable time and did lovely breakfast and coffee. All with a phenomenal location.

Power optional cement/asphalt RV campsite (large)

Liked We had a really lovely stay, everyone was so nice, we booked a non hookup parking space for the night, toilets were open 24/7, there is wifi, but we forgot to ask for the password, it was so peaceful and quiet, we got there before stated time, but as it was off season there was not a problem, we booked a large space as we're a 5.99mtre MH, there is plenty to do around you, walking, cycling and of course the boat trip, which we done the following morning, an amazing find, the wee cafe is really good and reasonably priced, and the food is delicious, all in all it was a very good experience, very well done everybody that works to take care of you and the surrounding park

Local attractions

Want to spend as much time as you can in the open air? Maybe you’d like to swing through the trees at Go Ape Aberfoyle (15 minutes’ drive) or stay firmly on the ground at Aberfoyle Golf Club (20 minutes). The 50,000-acre Queen Elizabeth Forest Park (20 minutes) has pony treks, lots of wildlife watching and Britain’s biggest off-road cycle trail network. For the daredevils among you, local activity centres can also sort you out with days of quad biking or watersports. And of course there are a few mountains around for the climbers – Ben A’an (three minutes to the trailhead) is your nearest, and Ben Lomond (55 minutes) is also popular. In the mood for something a bit gentler? Take a wander around pretty Callander (20 minutes on the river Teith, or explore 14th-century Doune Castle (35 minutes). A little further afield, Blair Drummond Safari Park (40 minutes) and Stirling Castle (45 minutes) are great picks.
