Drymen Camping

West Highland Way (Milngavie to Drymen part 2)

Follows woodland paths and open moorland with moderate climbs, including a steady ascent over Conic Hill offering stunning Loch Lomond views. Not suitable for buggies due to rough terrain and steep sections; older children who enjoy hillwalking will manage fine. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock. The Conic Hill summit rewards with panoramic views across Loch Lomond's islands, making it one of the Way's most memorable early stages.

West Highland Way (Drymen to Rowardennan)

Follows Loch Lomond's eastern shore through ancient oak woodland with steady climbs and rocky sections underfoot. Terrain shifts from forest paths to exposed lochside trails—expect tree roots, stones, and moderate inclines that make buggies impractical and challenge little legs (better for older children who can manage 8+ miles). Dogs welcome but keep them close on narrow stretches. The reward is stunning loch views framed by mountains, plus chances to spot red squirrels and deer along this icon

John Muir Way (Balloch to Strathblane part 1)

Follows the West Highland Way initially before branching east through gentle farmland and woodland between Loch Lomond and the Campsie Fells. Mostly flat to gently undulating terrain on good paths and quiet lanes, making it excellent for families and pushchair-friendly in dry conditions. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Enjoy stunning views back to Loch Lomond and ahead to the dramatic Campsie Hills, with plenty of spots to pause and plenty of Scottish fresh air without serious climbs.
