  • Family holiday park with spectacular Loch Lomond views at Ardlui
  • Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park access from the pitches
  • Bar, restaurant and entertainment throughout the year at Ardlui Hotel
Up at the northernmost tip of Loch Lomond, Ardlui Holiday Home Park is a small site with a range of accommodation, all overlooking the water. That’s right – the park has a fabulous location in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, making it easy for walkers, cyclists, photographers and wildlife watchers alike to get out on the hills directly from the pitches, or to get down to the loch for watersports and fishing. This site is also a handy overnighter for anyone ‘doing’ the West Highland Way, which runs along the east side of the loch between Fort William and Milngavie. The walking route is accessed via a ferry from Ardlui Marina, which is only five minutes’ walk away. Kids and dogs are welcome at this friendly site, and there are plenty of facilities to make life comfortable and convenient for all guests – you'll have the use of a launderette, a chemical disposal point and bathrooms with toilets and showers. The Ardlui Hotel is a few steps away too, serving homemade food in the cosy restaurant and a plethora of whiskies – just what you need as a pick-me-up after a day out in the bracing Scottish air – and beers in the welcoming pub. In the pub, you’re welcome to play pool, fire up the jukebox or warm up by the log stove in the winter. There are also lively entertainment nights throughout the year in the hotel.

Camping pod

Liked Camping pods are standard and clean. Staff were very friendly. Park is in a beautiful location. Good ferry connection for walking the west highland way. Is located in a popular place to hire water sport equipment i.e jet skis, boats, paddle boards

Disliked We camp a lot both under canvas and in pods and we weren't a massive fan of this site. The camping pods are located behind the reception block facing onto caravans and have tractors and maintenance equipment behind them, not the most picturesque. I also felt the pods were too close together. The womans toilet block wasn't very clean on the night we visited but the gents was spotless. The food at the attached hotel is good and staff very friendly but service is very, very slow so be warned if you plan on eating there. You also cant be served breakfast/coffee at the hotel unless you are a hotel guest despite a sign on the outside saying open for breakfast.

Fully-serviced gravel and sand touring pitch

Liked Amazing view fantastic locatiom

Disliked Paid for a full service pitch but was given a electric only car park bay in a local car park overlooking the Loch
Which was you were pitched up there was no way of getting your van back out as cars were constantly parked behind you while they were using the the loch jet skiing etc we ran out of water on sat morning and had no way our hose would reach the nearest water tap about 30 meters away also the grey waste from the van would go down the drain but was left to go into the gravel spoke to a chap who gave us the spot pitch but insisted it was a full service pitch even though it only had a power socket on a pole I asked him several times about complaint procedure he just shrugged his shoulder also the pitch had bags of used dogs muck and area was a mess of weeds
The toilet block was open and floor was like a swimming pool with visitors using the facilities after wet sling etc
Think the must think that because of the stunning location they don't need to bother about definately not work £40 A night to be locked in a car park unable to move Came home on Sunday instead of Monday due to no water or drainage took the chance to escape when someone move out of the car park 5 ft behind us
You need to concentrate on customers happiness or one day you will be the only one looking at it

Local attractions

There’s a lot to get stuck into within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park if you’re a keen hiker, climber or cyclist. If you’d rather take a scenic drive, the Rest and Be Thankful Viewpoint (half an hour’s drive) is a fine spot to pull over. There are also boat cruises on Loch Lomond (35 minutes) for explorations that don’t require much walking. Can’t relate? Don’t worry, just don a pair of hiking boots (or skis if it’s winter) and set about the Glencoe (40 minutes) slopes. Queen Elizabeth Forest Park (an hour) is also a handy spot for a good ramble or some biking. There’s also the stunning hike at Ben A'an (an hour and 10 minutes) for views over Loch Katrine and Loch Achray. Ben More (20 minutes) is a slightly more local spot, and a challenging climb if you really want to get the blood pumping. While you're here, you may fancy checking out some of the nearby castles. Dumbarton Castle (40 minutes) is a striking one set on a volcanic rock overlooking the sea. Inveraray Castle (50 minutes) on the shore of Loch Fyne is also spectacular, with huge gardens, a tearoom and castle room tours.
