Camping Permit Areas Permit areas are natural stretches of land with no set pitches or facilities offering a ‘wild camping’ experience within the Camping Management Zones. Motorhome Permit Areas The National Park provides permit areas specifically for motorhomes and campervans at Three Lochs Forest Drive, Inveruglas and Firkin Point. These are designed for informal, short stays of a maximum of three nights. There are also a number of campsites that take motorhomes and campervans (see map overleaf). There are plenty of places on roadsides in the National Park to safely stop and rest on your journey. These are unaffected by the camping byelaws. Permits cost £3 per tent/motorhome/campervan, per night and can be bought online at: lochlomond-trossachs.org/camping WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SAFER NATIONAL PARK Camping Byelaws: What you need to know Byelaws are in effect from 1st March to 30th September, which manage camping and firelighting at some lochshore locations in the National Park. The byelaws help protect the environment and promote responsible enjoyment of these lochshores. The byelaws cover four Camping Management Zones, which make up less than 4% of the National Park. Between 1st March and 30th September to camp in these Zones you must book into a campsite or permit area, so please plan ahead. The locations of campsites, camping and motorhome permit areas, are shown on the map overleaf. The byelaws also cover irresponsible firelighting, including collecting firewood. If you have a fire, make sure you build it in a place where it will cause no damage or use a fire bowl. Bring your own wood, as collecting firewood has a damaging effect on wildlife in the area. Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park is a special place. You are in a Camping Management Zone. From March to September camping is only permitted in campsites and permit areas. To find out where to camp, buy a permit or book a pitch visit: www.lochlomond-trossachs.org Failure to comply with the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Camping Management Byelaws 2017, between March and September, can result in a fine of up to £500. For more information call 01389 722001 02 2019 | CITP V5 lochlomond-trossachs.org/camping If you are coming to camp in the National Park, particularly between March and September, please plan ahead. National Park Rangers will always offer advice on how and where to camp responsibly but please be aware that failure to comply with the byelaws could result in a report to the Procurator Fiscal and a fine of up to £500. If you are angling in the National Park please check if you need a fishing permit.

Pitch up at a campsite along an idyllic lochshore or river, or for those who prefer the solitude of ‘wild camping’ away from the hustle and bustle, there are plenty of places to immerse yourself in some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. Whichever way you choose, please ensure you do it respectfully and responsibly. Leave no trace and always follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code - a practical guide to help everyone enjoy the outdoors responsibly: www.outdooracccess-scotland.com Know the Code Strathfillan Three Lochs Forest Drive Inchcailloch from Conic Hill Loch Chon Campsite Pick your Pitch There are a wide range of campsites throughout the National Park offering different levels of facilities. From campsites with hot showers and electric hook ups, to sites with basic facilities such as fresh water and toilets. Locations that offer a more basic camping experience include The Cabin, a small site on the shores of Loch Lubnaig and the National Park’s campsites at Loch Chon and Loch Achray, both in The Trossachs. On Loch Lomond there is a small campsite on the beautiful island of Inchcailloch and on the shores of east Loch Lomond, the Forestry Commission Scotland campsite at Sallochy Bay offers woodland pitches next to the West Highland Way and the lochshore. The cost of a pitch will vary depending on the level of facilities on offer at a specific location. The map overleaf shows places to camp in the National Park. For more information go to: lochlomond-trossachs.org/camping Going Wild If you love the solitude of ‘wild camping’ there are plenty of great places to experience a night under the stars and the spectacular scenery of the National Park. Scotland’s access legislation means that everyone can camp wherever access rights apply, as long as it’s done responsibly. In the National Park seasonal camping byelaws apply in certain areas, which means in these places, between 1st March and 30th September you must camp in a campsite or designated permit area. Find out more in the ‘Camping Byelaws: What you need to know section’. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code says ‘wild camping’ is lightweight, done in small numbers and only for two or three nights in any one place. If you are ‘wild camping’ help to avoid causing problems for local people and land managers by not camping in enclosed fields of crops or farm animals, and by keeping well away from buildings, roads or historic structures. Take extra care to avoid disturbing deer stalking. If you want to camp close to a house or building, seek the owner’s permission. See the ‘Respect Your Park’ guidance overleaf for top tips on camping responsibly.
