The soft lap of Loch Lomond's waters against the shoreline carries across this peaceful waterside site, where morning mist often clings to the surrounding hills before the sun breaks through to illuminate the loch's glittering surface.

Lagganbeg Caravan Park welcomes tents, caravans and campervans to Dunbartonshire's stunning west shore, within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Open throughout the year, it's a reliable base for hillwalkers tackling the West Highland Way, kayakers exploring the loch's islands, and families seeking that classic Scottish camping experience amid some of Britain's most celebrated scenery. The location puts you within easy reach of charming lochside villages and countless hiking trails threading through ancient woodland and up into the dramatic peaks.

Facilities are straightforward and functional, with toilet and shower blocks serving the pitches. Check campfire policies on arrival if you're hoping for an evening around the flames. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious—this is camping that prioritises location and natural beauty over bells and whistles, letting Loch Lomond's timeless appeal do the talking.

John Muir Way (Helensburgh to Balloch)

Follows the northern shore of the Gailoch Peninsula with gentle, mostly flat terrain on well-maintained paths and quiet roads. Suitable for families with older children who can manage the distance, though length makes it challenging for buggies despite good surfaces. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock sections. Delivers stunning Loch Lomond views, passes through Helensburgh's historic waterfront, and connects two charming towns with plenty of spots for picnics and wildlife watching along the w

The Shore Circular Path

Loops around The Shore at Loch Lomond with mostly flat, easy terrain on established paths and pavements. Perfect for families with buggies and young children wanting a gentle stroll with loch views. Dogs welcome on leads. Offers peaceful waterside scenery, chances to spot local birdlife, and access to Loch Lomond's southern shoreline without the effort of longer, hillier routes – ideal for a post-campsite leg-stretch.

Overtoun House Circular Path

Loops around historic Overtoun House and its dramatic wooded estate above the River Clyde. Mostly flat woodland paths with one gentle climb to viewpoints overlooking Dumbarton and the Kilpatrick Hills. Well-maintained trails suit families and buggies on main sections, though some paths narrow near the ravine. Dogs welcome but keep close near the infamous Overtoun Bridge. Worth it for the Gothic architecture, ancient trees, and surprisingly sweeping valley views just 20 minutes from Glasgow.
