  • 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

Lovely views of Loch Lomond, right on the water. Staff are praised as sound. Toilets and showers are usually spotless and new. The pub's a hit. Some found pitches a bit carpark-like, and noise from other campers and jet skis was noted. Limited dog routes and occasional water issues too.

Camping pod

Liked I recently stayed in a camping pod at Ardlui Holiday Home Park in Loch Lomond and absolutely loved the experience! The location is stunning – right on the loch with beautiful surroundings, making it the perfect peaceful getaway. The pod itself was spotlessly clean and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay.
What really stood out, though, was the manager – incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my visit. They made me feel right at home and added such a personal touch to the whole experience.
I can’t recommend Ardlui Holiday Home Park enough – great location, immaculate facilities, and exceptional hospitality. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Vicky B.

Camping pod (large)

Liked Handy location to break up a long train journey.

Disliked Incredibly over priced, with no bedding provided, and uncomfortable mattresses. There were signs up to say the water needed to be boiled for drinking yet no kettle was provided. I asked the hotel if they would fill my water bottles and the ladies on duty refused. At £100 a night I’m still shocked to be refused water to drink.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The scenery was outstanding with access to the West Highland Way on the other side via a short boat journey.

Disliked Going out for the day and our pitch having someone else on it when we got back. Having to boil the water prior to drinking it.
The site appeared quite run down and needed a little TLC.

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.
