Could there be a more famous place to camp than the shores of Loch Ness? Perhaps, but Loch Ness Shores Club Site is certainly one of the best ways to take in the stunning sights and sounds of Scotland’s most legendary body of water. It has direct access to the shoreline and offers sublime views of the surrounding mountains.
Paddler’s paradise
This site has both grass and hardstanding pitches and boasts backpacker facilities, dishwashing area, designated dog walk, and family shower room. The amenities block even has underfloor heating for when the weather is chilly. You can launch canoes or kayaks from the shoreline straight onto the loch and get a water’s eye view of the impressive scenery around.
Lochside loveliness
There are plenty of scenic walks to choose from in the area, and the wildlife spotting opportunities are wonderful (though we can’t promise a Nessie sighting!). Fishing is also available on the loch (rod licence required) with many local guides offering their services. Driving around the loch will enable you to visit ancient ruins like Urquhart Castle, cute harbour villages like Fort Augustus, and the bustling city of Inverness in the north.
Don’t miss your chance to camp right on the shores of one of the most famous and beautiful lakes in the land.
