Trossachs Holiday Park

The morning mist lifts off Loch Achray and you're already reaching for the kettle, the Trossachs hills rising green and craggy beyond your van window.

This is a holiday park that suits tourers and caravanners who want a proper base in Rob Roy country — you're deep in Scotland's first national park here, where lochs thread between forested slopes and red deer appear at dusk. It's a solid choice for families who like their days packed with walking, cycling the forest trails, or paddling on the water, then coming back to a pitch with space to spread out. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth checking ahead if you're bringing one along.

The site keeps things straightforward — pitches for caravans and campervans, the kind of setup where you can settle in for a few nights and explore properly. Campfires are a check-on-arrival matter, so ask when you turn up. It's a working holiday park rather than a wild meadow, but the location does the heavy lifting: you're surrounded by some of the most dramatic scenery in the southern Highlands, and that counts for a lot.
