  • Dog-friendly site under a mile from the southern shore of Loch Lomond
  • A five-minute drive to the John Muir Way; 10 minutes from Balloch
  • Restaurants and shops 10 minutes’ drive away; walk to a nature reserve
If Loch Lomond is in your near future, no need to look any further for a relaxing, dog-friendly site on its southern shores. Under a mile from the loch’s shores and 10 minutes’ drive away from Balloch, the well-presented Lagganbeg Caravan Park prides itself on its peaceful vibes and top location in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Birdwatchers, gather. The site is a short 15 minutes’ walk away from RSPB Scotland Loch Lomond, where you might spot an osprey or white-tailed sea eagle over the water. Hikers, arm yourself with a trusty pair of walking shoes too. The site is around five minutes’ drive away from the 134-mile John Muir Way from Helensburgh to Dunbar. You’ll have your pick of a host of hiking and cycling trails suitable for all abilities in the local area too, including the likes of the West Loch Lomond Cycle Path and the National Cycle Route 7. A lighter 20-minute stroll is all it takes to get to the shore of Scotland's largest freshwater loch. Ogle over the surrounding munros for a while or take a gander at nearby Balloch (10 minutes’ drive) or Drymen (10 minutes), where there are restaurants and shops. Cities like Stirling (40 minutes) and Glasgow (50 minutes) are only a day trip away, as is Argyll and Bute. Plus, there are handy bus and train services from Balloch and Stirling. Lagganbeg Caravan Park is a family-run site, so it’s been very lovingly tended to facilities-wise. The toilet and shower block has rainfall showers and a family wet room, which is accessible for disabled guests. There’s also a laundry room with large-capacity washers, dryers and irons, all coin-operated, and hand-washing sinks and an indoor drying area.

What customers say

This well-maintained site offers a peaceful stay just a short walk from Loch Lomond. Guests rave about the exceptionally clean, modern facilities, friendly staff, and spacious, level sites. It's an ideal base for exploring, though some note limited on-site amenities and occasional Wi-Fi issues.

Tall Pines powered gravel RV campsite

Liked Good showers good toilets peaceful place and ran by lovely people.

Stayed in tall pines with electric hookup.

Good price too.

Accommodated us last minute too after we wouldn't make it to our original reservation in time due to a personal matter. We arrived at 7.30pm and most camp sites dont allow this.

Disliked Nothing. Everything was as stated.

Tall Pines powered gravel RV campsite

Liked The staff couldn’t have been nicer. The facilities were clean and well maintained. 10 minute walk to the beach. Very dog friendly. A bbq was arranged for the Saturday night with lots of choice. Very quiet after 10pm, had a great night sleep and would have stayed an extra night had I not had to come home for work. Ample pitch size.

Liked Excellent location. Lovely wee site. The field for the tents is directly adjacent to the toilet/shower/laundry/dishwashing area, so very handy. Plenty electric hook up points. There was a nice atmosphere around, all the campers were very nice groups or families, everyone chatted to each other in the passing, just a very pleasant experience.

Disliked Car parking is a squeeze.

Local attractions

This is a central base indeed… set your sights on historic Stirling (40 minutes’ drive), a city with historic credentials like a castle, The National Wallace Monument and The Battle of Bannockburn Visitor Centre (45 minutes). The latter is based on a medieval battle location, which some of you might recognise from the film Braveheart. Of course, Glasgow (50 minutes) has more historic attractions, especially museums and impressive architecture. There are shops and theatres for those seeking a simpler kind of entertainment. Those who haven’t already tasted enough whisky in the city bars can pay a visit to the Glengoyne Distillery (20 minutes), which runs tours and tastings (including of their tasty single malt whisky). Perhaps you’re an animal fan too. There are 300-plus creatures at the Blair Drummond Safari Park (35 minutes), including giraffes and lions, and hands-on activities with the farm animals at Briarlands Farm (35 minutes).
