  • Dog-friendly site on the West Highland Way walking route
  • A 15-minute drive from Loch Lomond; walk to the Devil’s Pulpit
  • Walk into to Drymen village for pubs, a shop and the Rob Roy Way
Looking to Loch Lomond as your next big destination? Drymen Camping has been welcoming adventurous folk for over 30 years – and with the dog-friendly seasonal site as your base too, you’ll be next in line for hikes of all kinds, whisky sampling, days on the loch and all the other splendid stuff that happens in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Drymen Camping is 15 minutes’ drive away from Loch Lomond and it’s directly on the West Highland Way route, which heads northwards past Balmaha, Conic Hill and an ancient oak woodland. If you’re working your way along the trail, staff on site can sign you up for a baggage transfer when you arrive (that’s if you haven’t already sorted your own). Hiking’s really something special around here. The 77-mile Rob Roy Way, which traces the route taken by a Scottish folk figure from the 18th century, weaves through the village of Drymen 25 minutes’ walk away. Grab a little something to eat or drink from the village pubs, restaurants, café or shop before setting off, perhaps. As for cyclists, The John Muir Way, a coast-to-coast cycle path, is a short drive away. The site’s also directly on the National Cycle Route 7, which forms part of the route from Land’s End to John O’Groats. If you need to shower off after all of that pedalling or rambling, there are hot walk-in showers on site, along with facilities like toilets, mobile charging points and a sheltered communal area for food prep and meeting like-minded folk.

Great location for West Highland Way hikers! Clean washrooms with hot showers. Friendly, helpful staff. Amenities are basic; no drying room or hook-ups on pitches. Communal barn offers shelter. Spacious sites, nice views. Manager working on grass protection.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Lovely site. Facilities are basic. The showers are clean, and the water hot and plentiful. Space to charge phones. Picnic tables in the covered area.

Great location, with plenty of tourist attractions within 30 minute drive.
Majority of campers were walking the West Highland Way which goes past the site.

Disliked Please invest in a wheel barrow, for those of us staying for more than one night to get our stuff to the car free camping area.

Liked Wo und duschen waren sauber. Es gab alles nötige vor Ort. Alle total hilfsbereit und nett. In der Rezeption gibt es Snacks und Getränke und sonstige kleine Campingartikel, falls doch etwas fehlt. Ausreichend Platz vorhanden.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Good grass pitches and very clean facilities. Staff were most helpful. However, not allowing the use of stoves on the grass limits the camping experience and means cooking on wooden tables in the covered eating area. Unfortunately that area is closely surrounded by showers and toilet cubicles. Not a good combination.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review and yes, we are looking into finding another solution presently. It's been implemented in a bid to save our grass as once an area has scorched by hot pots, burning from the stoves or just discarding excess boiling water, the area is unfortunately destroyed for the rest of the season.

Location is wonderful. Also very nice…

 Paul A. 1 review

LandPod camping pod (four person)

Liked Nothing at all

Disliked The pod was very badly insulated and sealed. Cold air leaked in from every joint

The shed were people can eat and shower is nothing but a cow shed

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Obviously a very disappointing and surprising review to receive after helping with your additional needs. We always encourage guests to contact us directly to give us the opportunity to resolve any issues at the time instead of leaving poor quality reviews. The LandPod is very well insulated but if cold air was leaking in and if you'd let us know at the time, we would have helped you straight away.
We are transparent about the communal barn area and that we are a basic campsite. Our reviews constantly refer to the cleanliness of our site, excellent location and customer service but we accept we can't keep everyone happy.
For others reading this, if you have any issues, please contact us at the time day or night when we are in a position to help you straight away. Your happiness is our priority.

Local attractions

The lovely Loch Lomond has a mightily tempting set of places to visit, whether it’s the country park, bird of prey centre and Maid of the Loch steamer boat in Balloch (15 minutes’ drive) or the ultra-scenic Conic Hill (20 minutes) and Ben Lomond (20 minutes). Where else to go walking? Perhaps Queen's View & The Whangie (20 minutes) for views of Loch Lomond, the village of Killearn (20 minutes), or the conifers of Garadhban Forest (15 minutes)? The Devil’s Pulpit (55 minutes’ walk or 20 minutes’ drive), which featured in Outlander, is a gorgeous wild swimming spot with a 100-foot-deep sandstone gorge, river and a stretch to tackle named Devil’s Steps. After braving the slippery tracks, it might be time to indulge in a little Scottish whisky. Founded in 1833, the Glengoyne Distillery (20 minutes’ drive) runs sampling experiences.
