Inchcailloch Campsite

Inchcailloch Campsite sits on the southern tip of Inchcailloch Island, a nature reserve within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, accessible by a short ferry ride from Balmaha pier.

The site is open from 1 March to 30 September and must be booked in advance through the National Park Authority.

Facilities are deliberately minimal — a compost toilet and picnic tables with metal barbecue supports are provided, but there is no running water, so campers must be fully self-sufficient.

A central fire pit is available, though firewood must be brought from the mainland. The site accommodates a maximum of 12 campers at any one time, with stays limited to two nights.

Once on the island, two walking routes wind through the woodlands, including a summit path offering sweeping views across the loch and surrounding mountains.
