The early morning mist lifts off Loch Tay's glassy surface, revealing the dramatic peaks of Ben Lawers beyond, while the scent of pine drifts across from the surrounding Caledonian woodland. This is Highland Perthshire at its most magnificent, where Scotland's longest freshwater loch stretches into the distance and red squirrels dart through ancient trees.
Perfect for those seeking an authentic Scottish camping experience whatever the season, this year-round site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to one of the country's most spectacular settings. You're deep in "Big Tree Country" here, with Perthshire's famous forests and mountains providing endless opportunities for wild swimming, hillwalking, fishing and wildlife spotting. The historic village of Kenmore sits nearby at the loch's eastern tip.
Essential facilities include toilets and showers, keeping things straightforward and unfussy. Check about campfire policies when you arrive. The vibe is refreshingly low-key and nature-focused – this is a place to disconnect, breathe deeply, and fall asleep to the gentle lap of loch water against the shore.
