Sunart Camping

Sticking around Strontian comes with several perks. Itching to get out on the water? Otter Adventures (a few minutes' walk) can sort self-guided kayak hire, while the site can book you guided canoe trips if you’d prefer paddling about in a freshwater flotilla. You'll also want to step out for a spin around Phemie’s Walk (a few minutes' walk), a 1.5-mile boardwalk trail that weaves through the trees to reach a spectacular view of the loch. Fort William and Old Inverlochy Castle, meanwhile, are an hour's drive to the east; it's about 15 minutes more to Ben Nevis, Scotland (and the UK's) highest peak, or Steall Waterfall, a scenic 120-metre drop that's well worth swinging by if you're in the vicinity. Want to do more than just admire the view? Get fully immersed in a waterfall at Vertical Descents (45 minutes), a top-rated canyoning outfit close to the Corran ferry. Further to the west, you've got more must-see sights like Ardnamurchan Point and Lighthouse (an hour and 20 minutes), the white sands of Sanna Bay (an hour and 20 minutes) and historic Ardnamurchan Distillery (40 minutes).
