  • 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

Awesome Loch Lomond views & waterside spot. Staff are a ripper! Toilets & showers are schmick. Pub's a legend. Some pitches felt like carparks & there was a bit of noise from other campers & jet skis. Not heaps of dog walks & water supply was dodgy sometimes.

Liked On the Route I was taking, toilets / showers were very clean and modern and near to pitch

Disliked While i get that it was a stopover the pitch felt that we were in the car park, I had actually pulled up there to check in. Was the dearest we had payed all week on the NC500 route and was the least scenic. The area we were told to pitch up on was basically underwater. Gravelled with no drainage

Liked Lovely view out over the loch. We ate in the restaurant which was pretty good food, huge portions and very cheap.

Disliked Toilets and showers could do with updating.
There was quite a bit of rubbish along the beach including what looked like chunks of a broken sink!
The restaurant was also very dated and tired looking. Astonished that they only had famous grouse and bells whiskeys behind the bar too! We were looking forward to a nice dram after our dinner but didn’t see any other options!

Liked Excellent pitch overlooking the water. Facilities very clean and tidy with pub/restaurant at entrance to site. Met warden and he was very chatty and informative.

It was heavy rain and windy for our stay but wasn't an issue, darts and pool in the pub definitely a plus 😁

£40 for myself and partner with EHU

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked The view was beautiful, even in the rain. Perfect for a stop over but I wouldn't recommend any longer.

Disliked The site was very dated, the pitch you are given isn't yours for the whole stay, you leave to explore and someone else is on the pitch you were given when you come back. The pitches are on an old gravel car park. The pub/restaurant were dated and the staff weren't overly helpful and the food was ok. The facilities weren't great. We had booked for 4 nights but only stayed 2 and took the financial hit and wild camped because it was a much better option.

Fine if you want to do nothing. Definitely wouldn’t return.

Liked The check in warden, he was very friendly.

Disliked Felt like we were in parking bays, not much room at all & I'm sure it’s just a carpark. The water had to be boiled before use?! As it was pouring with rain we went to The Ardlui Hotel for dinner. The hotel is really dated. Seating very grubby, and the food was not great and quite pricey (£21 for steak pie which was fatty). Apart from the hotel there is nothing else close by. No wifi or phone signal available. We walked out of the campsite for a bit but it was far too dangerous on the main road! We booked and paid £90 for 2 nights but left after 1 night.

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.
