  • 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.

What customers say

Many visitors praise the stunning Loch Lomond views and friendly staff. However, some experienced issues with cleanliness, overcrowding, noise from long-term residents, and misleading pitch descriptions. Facilities like toilets and showers are generally clean but can be poorly designed, leading to wet floors.

Lesley J.

FHU gravel and sand travel trailer campsite

Liked Nothing. This is the overflow car park to the pub and static caravans.

Disliked We paid for a fully serviced pitch. This means mains electric, fresh water to plumb in to the caravan and waste water removal.

We got electric. Fresh water was a tap 2w inches off the ground shared by 8 other vans.
Waste water was grid in the ground.

Beccy F.

FHU gravel and sand travel trailer campsite

Liked The view.

Disliked If I wanted to stay in a car park, I'd have paid the £12.50 down the road to stay in the car park pitches on the side of the road rather than in this awful place. The pictures are completely misleading. Behind the 'pitches' is a massive static caravan park. The car park you get shoved in to 'pitch up' at is completely close quarters, squished up against each other. Our experience involved being next door to someone being allowed an american style tailgate party, rowdy music in the caravans behind us and off lead dogs coming and bothering our on lead dog throughout our stay. The toilets were flooded constantly. Nothing peaceful about this place. Safe to say we arrived, slept and left as soon as possible. Would never stay again.

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.
