  • 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 campsite, loved by visitors for friendly staff, clean facilities & peaceful vibe. Ideal for walkers. Sheltered cooking/relaxing areas. Pods seen as basic/pricey by some. Midges, tight pitches & nearby parking mentioned.

Susan E.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site (large)

Liked We had a great 2 night stay with family across two of the large tent pitches. Beautiful views from the site which were all the more stunning under blue skies and sunshine. Friendly customer service and well maintained toilet and shower areas. Mainly used by those walking the WHW but there were a few other families that helped us feel less like our kids were the only ones making noise! Site was a fairly short drive from where we stay near Glasgow but secluded enough to make it feel like we were further away - ideal for a last minute trip after work on a Friday eve to make the most of the good weather.

Paul A.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked I was driving with a medium to large tent and this site caters more for walkers with small tents. Nevertheless my stay was comfortable and all the facilities are under the cover of a large barn.
It's a half hour walk into Drymen for the shops and pubs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you, we're very happy you enjoyed your stay.

Local attractions

The lovely Loch Lomond has a mightily tempting set of places to visit, whether it’s Balloch’s (15 minutes’ drive), country park, bird of prey centre and Maid of the Loch steamer boat 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.
