"Just as nature intended - casual, easy going, alongside the river Coe, swimming in the river, and at the foot of the mountains. One and a half miles to the village and pubs in this historic area. You can tour all over Scotland from this area."

Hello happy campers! Here are some photos taken last year at the lovely Red Squirrell campsite in Glen Coe. Brilliant site, beautiful scenery, great to have a fire to keep the midges away! Another good thing is the legendary Clachaig Inn is only five minutes walk away!! Happy camping!!! lesxx.

A very favourite place - what more could you want in life - surrounded by fantastic hills, an easy stagger to real ale, malt whisky and live music heaven at the Clachaig Inn...splash on the Skin-So-Soft and let the midges do their worst!

Fantastic scenery! No statics! Great to have a campfire although they do come round at about 11.30 and ask you to put it out even if your not making any noise. Facilities could be alittle better. Look a bit cobbled together out of what ever they could find. Could be a little cleaner too. Still overall one of my favortie sites. I hate it when your parked on top of each other. Used a lot by walker, climber and bikers.

Just spent 5 days in this campsite in the rain. The toilets and showers are pretty basic but if you can cope with that it is worth it. This is probably the best campsite I've ever stayed at: you pitch your tent among trees and you are allowed fires. Wood can be gathered from the woodland at the end of the road or you can buy peat and logs from the village shop which is a mile and three quarters away. There is also a really nice pub a mile away in the other direction, and it does food and coffee and often has live music at night. I spent my evenings poking my fire with sticks and drinking wine and that helped keep the midges at bay. You will need midge repellant but you can buy that at the kiosk and again in the village. Very informal and you can pitch where you want and everyone is very nice. Lots of pretty walks too which are short or if you fancy a longer one you can do part of the west highland way. It's very rural and there are no banks (the village shop charges you 50p to get cash back so you're better off making sure you bring money with you) and the shop puts a notice up to tell you when a delivery is due in, but it sells most things. On the way to it you drive through the Highlands and that is stunning. It is definitely worth going to.

Just spent a night here before walking up Ben Nevis! Was lovely, brillant pub close by, pitched our tent surrounded by mountains and trees. The facilities are clean and totally adequte, although a bit basic! Hope to return sometime...
