  • 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.

Donna H.

Tall Pines powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked The ladies on reception were very friendly. We had loads of space but that may be due to the time of year. 10 minute drive to Balloch which had a lovely river and a walled garden to take the dog.

Disliked I hated the toilet block. Had to fight through the webs which had large spiders, especially at night, right over the doorway. The toilets were cold and not very nice. They were clean enough but just cold. No drinking water tap that i could see.

Rob J.

Conic View powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked Pretty much everything!
The welcome was friendly and helpful.
The pitch was excellent - level, gravel with electric and water right there.
The site was clean and tidy, as was the toilet/shower block. In fact, the facilities were one of the best we've used.
The grey water disposal was well positioned and the toilet disposal was well planned and laid out.
It's closer to the loch than advertised and ideal if you like walking and/or birds.
Also ideal for dogs.

Disliked The only issue was than when emptying the toilet cassette, the foul waste drain clearly couldn't take a small inrush of fluid as it came back up from a drain situated in front of the disposal point. It was only quick reactions in jumping that prevented my feet being soaked with what I had just put down :(
I subsequently found that it would cope if you empty slowly but that's not ideal when you are trying to flush/shake out everything in the cassette.

From the manager: I have translated your review so people can read it
"Liked: The location is good.

Disliked: The owner isn't very attentive! There's no kitchen or tables! Cleanliness is also average

I was on hand and answered all your questions. You only came in to reception twice. On the 2nd occasion you asked where the kitchen was, I told your their isn't a kitchen. You then preceeded to cook and eat in the dish wash area which is not permitted. You also left the area full of cooking smells and not clean. As for cleanliness being average, this is untrue and if there had been any issues why didn't you co.e and report them so I could have been more attentive?

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).
