Loch katrine

  • Hardstanding motorhome pitches in the Trossachs Pier car park
  • On the banks of Loch Katrine with direct access to the Trossachs Trail
  • Next to a café and departure point for loch cruises
Somewhere scenic to park your motorhome in Stirlingshire? Take a look at the touring pitches at Trossachs Pier – this location is in a fabulous spot right on the banks of Loch Katrine and in one of the UK’s largest National Nature Reserves, the Great Trossachs Forest. Technically speaking, these pitches are in the pier’s car park, but there’s rather more to it than that, as you’ll have access to toilets and showers (for an extra charge), wifi and a café serving up breakfasts, lunches, hot drinks and the like. There’s also bike hire in the car park, and it’s the departure point for various passenger cruises. Boat trips run regularly through the day but the top pick for many visitors is a ride on the Sir Walter Scott steamship, which has sailed on the loch since 1900. Once you’ve explored the loch thoroughly, don’t plan to move on too quickly – this site is located on the 40-mile Trossachs Trail for walks and bike rides, and there’s plenty more to see and do around the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, whether you’re planning to bag a few Munros, go fishing, play golf or explore some of the area’s history.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch (XL)

Liked Done the walk then left.

Disliked Took a while for someone to come see us. Was supposed to be in a bay near the walk way but someone that wasn’t paying was in our bay. After all the tours finish nobody is about only the toilets are open.

Diane D.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch (large)

Liked Friendly receptionist.

Disliked The pitches were so far off level in 2 ways that even at the very top of our ramps plus a board under a third tire our van was still completely sloped. We tried a second pitch with the same result so we just left. It would have been impossible to cook anything or even be comfortable at such an angle. Not really sure what the idea was but that isn’t a realistic pitch. The other side looked better but no way of knowing what pitch you are assigned until you arrive and the others were full. Spots 6-9 are ridiculous.

Marianne R.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch (large)

Liked Die Lage am Loch Katrine ist gut.

Disliked Ich hatte einen großen Platz mit Strom und Sanitäranlage für zwei Nächte gebucht und vorab bezahlt. Bei Ankunft sollte ich mich auf einen normalen Tages-Ausflüglerplatz stellen, der allerdings Strom hatte. Für die Nutzung des Sanitärraumes ( Toilette, Waschbecken, Dusche ) erhielt ich einen Code für die Einlasstür. Diese Tür war aber, wie sich sofort herausstellte, für jeden Seebesucher offen. Entsprechend sah die Sanitäranlage aus. Auf meine energische Ansprache auf das Thema wurde nicht reagiert. Ich habe auf die 2. Übernachtung verzichtet.

Local attractions

Want to spend as much time as you can in the open air? Maybe you’d like to swing through the trees at Go Ape Aberfoyle (15 minutes’ drive) or stay firmly on the ground at Aberfoyle Golf Club (20 minutes). The 50,000-acre Queen Elizabeth Forest Park (20 minutes) has pony treks, lots of wildlife watching and Britain’s biggest off-road cycle trail network. For the daredevils among you, local activity centres can also sort you out with days of quad biking or watersports. And of course there are a few mountains around for the climbers – Ben A’an (three minutes to the trailhead) is your nearest, and Ben Lomond (55 minutes) is also popular. In the mood for something a bit gentler? Take a wander around pretty Callander (20 minutes on the river Teith, or explore 14th-century Doune Castle (35 minutes). A little further afield, Blair Drummond Safari Park (40 minutes) and Stirling Castle (45 minutes) are great picks.
