Hi all, been reading on here for a while but just newly registered.We (me and the missus) used to go camping quite often,mainly to the bike rallies.Time has passed and now there are 2 very active kids and 2 very very active dogs. We have decided to give camping a bash again, so i went out and bought an Idaho XL and some other luxuries. What we need if possible is somewhere in the North or West of Scotland to go.Braemar over to Fort William or somewhere in those areas.
We need somewhere that will take a large tent and have forest/woods or a beach very close for the dogs and somewhere to take the mountain bikes.
Doesn't have to be a big fancy site with pool etc just somewhere with water and a toilet block would do.
Any suggestions?

I live west of Scotland and there are a couple round here ardgarten and luss but have a try on the Camp Site Search facility, will probably give you alot more ideas!

wayne the site is great its huge !! never feels too busy Wee shop on site is great and reasonable and strath stores in gairloch a great wee shop with lots of tasty delights > Biking is great ! will give ya advice on a great route if you wish great single track and not man made like mounatin bike centres this is real off road riding but manageable also.
re loch lommond hmmm find it usually very very busy during summer months, personally would be better driving bit further north to be honest.! check out gairloch folks lovely views from site across to skye , rassay, torridon and hebrides
honestly , head further north west loch lomond like lakes distrct in high summer very busy, but then again some people like that, depends on ones likes i guess. Anyway enjoy scotland!!

I have had a look at the website Gary and its perfect.The older kid and me will do the mountain biking and there is miles of beach for the wife and youngest to walk the dogs. Bit further than i would have liked to drive with two hyper dogs in the car but hopefully will be worth it.Thanks again
we been there with kids they love it an hour from ullapool also and about about an hour from inverness also. will look for link for biking route for ya and post soon so keep an eye out. Ps freshly baked bread, rolls in campshop a must !!!.
