  • Dog-friendly site under a mile from the southern shore of Loch Lomond
  • A five-minute drive to the John Muir Way; 10 minutes from Balloch
  • Restaurants and shops 10 minutes’ drive away; walk to a nature reserve
If Loch Lomond is in your near future, no need to look any further for a relaxing, dog-friendly site on its southern shores. Under a mile from the loch’s shores and 10 minutes’ drive away from Balloch, the well-presented Lagganbeg Caravan Park prides itself on its peaceful vibes and top location in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Birdwatchers, gather. The site is a short 15 minutes’ walk away from RSPB Scotland Loch Lomond, where you might spot an osprey or white-tailed sea eagle over the water. Hikers, arm yourself with a trusty pair of walking shoes too. The site is around five minutes’ drive away from the 134-mile John Muir Way from Helensburgh to Dunbar. You’ll have your pick of a host of hiking and cycling trails suitable for all abilities in the local area too, including the likes of the West Loch Lomond Cycle Path and the National Cycle Route 7. A lighter 20-minute stroll is all it takes to get to the shore of Scotland's largest freshwater loch. Ogle over the surrounding munros for a while or take a gander at nearby Balloch (10 minutes’ drive) or Drymen (10 minutes), where there are restaurants and shops. Cities like Stirling (40 minutes) and Glasgow (50 minutes) are only a day trip away, as is Argyll and Bute. Plus, there are handy bus and train services from Balloch and Stirling. Lagganbeg Caravan Park is a family-run site, so it’s been very lovingly tended to facilities-wise. The toilet and shower block has rainfall showers and a family wet room, which is accessible for disabled guests. There’s also a laundry room with large-capacity washers, dryers and irons, all coin-operated, and hand-washing sinks and an indoor drying area.

What customers say

This is a grand spot, well-kept with lovely staff and top-notch, clean facilities, including modern showers. The location is a cracker, handy for Loch Lomond and nature. Lots of folk loved the peace and quiet. While a few mentioned older bits, it’s grand overall, with many saying they'd be back.

Liked Man hat einen Stromanschluss und die Wc‘s/Duschen sind renoviert worden.

Zum Loch Lomond sind es nur 4-5 Minuten zu Fuß.

Disliked Die Straße zum Campingplatz besteht aus mehr Schlaglöcher als aus Straßenbelag.

Die Gebäude versprühen den Charme von einer Baubude.

Krach durch Baumaschinen.

Conic View electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Location handy driving home from the highlands.
Water tap and electric on pitch.

Disliked The large motorhome site and location were not for me personally. Formal gravel pitches with grass in an enclosed field with high conifer hedges. Not very picturesque or an environment I wanted to explore. Some traffic noise. Just outside Lomond.

Enjoyed it and the people who owned it were very helpful and friendly

Conic View electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Sufficient space around the gravelled area for privacy, recommendations of places to go and how to get there, friendly staff on site all day with a shop and food available if needed, enjoyed the bbq food they provided.

Disliked Could only commute to other areas via driving due to no safe walking routes, would be nice to be able to walk to local areas if possible

Local attractions

This is a central base indeed… set your sights on historic Stirling (40 minutes’ drive), a city with historic credentials like a castle, The National Wallace Monument and The Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre (45 minutes). The latter is based on a medieval battle location, which some of you might recognise from the film Braveheart. Of course, Glasgow (50 minutes) has more historic attractions, especially museums and impressive architecture. There are shops and theatres for those seeking a simpler kind of entertainment. Those who haven’t already tasted enough whisky in the city bars can pay a visit to the Glengoyne Distillery (20 minutes), which runs tours and tastings (including of their tasty single malt whisky). Perhaps you’re an animal fan too. There are 300-plus creatures at the Blair Drummond Safari Park (35 minutes), including giraffes and lions, and hands-on activities with the farm animals at Briarlands Farm (35 minutes).
