We live in Scotland and would love to be able to wildcamp in Glencoe. The viewpoints are a no go and the actual campsites are just out of Glencoe. There is the option of the ski area carpark I think. Has anyone wilcamped at Glencoe or has any experience of the campsite in Glencoe?

Campsite in Glencote is fine, good loos and showers, beautiful views.

Walk down back down the driveway, cross the road and you are at the river, turn left and there is an outcrop of trees and underneath are the Very Best Bluebelles I have ever seen.

There used to be a campsite called the Red Squirrell, on the old road, just down from the Clachaig Inn (sp) it isn't listed here, but when I used it (many moons ago) it was ideal for hikers, hill climbers etc. it was very basic (almost wild as only a tap and a chemi loo!) access was by a little track and it couldn't take caravans, but you camped right down near the river. Midges were bad, obviously, but only for a short while during the early evening. Don't know if it's still going though

We used to wildcamp down Glen Etive!!! not sure about the spelling but it runs off Glencoe. Lots of areas to camp next to your own crystal clear stream. This was many moons ago so I dont know if its still allowed. Last time I was there a lot of the land looked like it had been given over to sustainable woodland.
