Red Squirrel Campsite Reviews

Will 100% visit again

This campsite is now one of our favourites. Plenty of spaces to pitch up your tent without being cramped. Very clean facilities. Firepits everywhere available to use. Handy food van on site and an ice cream van that visits. Very friendly staff. Remote enough to feel like you're in the wild but not too remote that you're out of the way.

Short & sweet stay, lovely location

We turned up later than we'd hoped so we couldn't fully experience the surroundings. The staff are very welcoming, helpful and friendly. It's a bigger site than we thought it would be. However, it's well thought out and very peaceful. The facilities are clean and the showers are good. There is also an excellent pub 10 minutes walk up the road. The only downside was the midge invasion in the morning! There was a broad spectrum of people staying from couples like us, groups of friends, families, people in tents and people with campers.

Our stay

Ideal location in Glencoe. Surrounded by beautiful mountains in every direction. Clean and spacious facilities. I’d highly recommend and I’ll be staying here again :)

Fantastic stay

Always a fantastic time and the weather was fantastic as well.

Just a dream honestly

Very welcoming. Very helpful. Fire pits on site and a short walk to Clachaig Inn for a beer and excellent food. Couldn't wish for a better secluded campsite in the true wilds of Scotland. Amazing scenery everywhere you look.

Very good

Very clean and tidy, good location too.

We are glad

The place is wonderful, people respected the schedule (10pm quiet time). Very kind service, nice contact with the staff. Maybe difficult to find pitch when you come back at the end of the afternoon and the new campers have arrived. Luckily we had a tent, but they were 2 times someone had parked in front of our tent with their campervan. There was a lack of showers. Maybe a 2d sanitary block could be nice in another place as there were lots of people and it was dirty quickly. For the price, for us, the difference was real : 4 nights camping elsewhere was £92, 4 nights in Red Squirrel was £120 with the same service and beauty of the site. Thank you.

Cracking location

Beautiful site, right next to the river, and with the mountains all around. Lots of birds (cuckoos and owls, while we were there) and deer, as well as the site kitten. Reception was helpful, and have facilities for hiring wood burners with logs, as well as chargers for phones, iPads etc. Only thing that would improve it would be a toilet/shower block at the other end of the site. A catering van provides hot food at the weekends, but apart from that the only eating places are a couple of miles away.

Excellent Camping site

Excellent campsite. Very clean and well kept. Everything you need. Very friendly, helpful staff. Stunning location.!

Our stay

Good campsite and plenty of space.

One night stopover

Perfect for one night stopover when heading north with campervan.

Wonderful weekend

A fantastic site, in an amazing location supported by great staff. Everyone was helpful, facilities were clean, water was hot. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a "back to nature" experience. An abundance of fire pits and available wood. The site had a great vibe. Will be returning for sure.

Best site ever

This was the best campsite we stayed at on our trip! Everything was top-notch: beautiful pitches, a stunning and convenient location, lots of walks in the area, clean amenities, and very helpful and friendly staff. Watching Noodle the cat scamper around was the cherry on top. Would stay again in a heartbeat and will be recommending Red Squirrel to anyone camping in the Glencoe area!

Fabulous campsite

Absolute gem of a campsite. The location is in one of the most awe-inspiring places on the planet and the campsite manages to provide everything that is needed, whilst still retaining the wild beauty of its surroundings. Staff very friendly and helpful, facilities clean and the water hot! There are fire pit locations and water points for fabulous fresh mountain spring water dotted around the site and even a super friendly campsite cat called Noodle! I am sure we'll be returning. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great site

Great location, good facilities and very helpful and friendly staff - would highly recommend.

Beauriful & peaceful

Stayed for 2 nights with my grandson. The whole site is set out beautifully to accommodate everyone, no matter how you are camping. Surrounded by stunning snow capped mountains. The birds singing, woodpeckers, owl's having a chat at night all adds to the sense of the outdoors. The amenities are great with plenty of showers/toilets. Washing machine & tumble dryer available also. Go see the lads at the burger bar. Great food, friendly & very welcoming. Overall, my first stay & not the last. Thank you to everyone who works hard to make it a success ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent time

We had a great time here. The facilities were brilliant and because it was off-season and the site was so large, we were able to pitch up in a nice quiet corner by the stream and let our dog have a great time in the water!

Wonderful experience

Great campsite! Lots of space to choose where to pitch up, and beautiful with the mountains surrounding and the river running through. Campsite staff were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Great place

Great place. Scenic, clean, friendly service, great if you're on a budget, highly recommended.

Thank you Ben for the great review. We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon. Thank you, Red Squirrel Team.

So good so we stayed longer

Phenomenal! Immediately upon entering the campsite we were welcomed with open arms and huge smiles (the ex-military trucks covered in mud probably helped a little - we make an impression most places we go). The guys welcoming us couldn't do more to help - they explained where everything was, where we could camp and wished us well. The facilities were surprisingly good. You kinda expect a bit of muck in campsite showers/toilets but I bumped into the cleaning ladies several times when I went to the toilet - they were extremely friendly and kept the place spotless considering. The showers were warm (very welcomed!) and clean. Location was just stunning, in the middle of a few mountains with walks surrounding it and only minutes from a local village. Most attractions within an hour, including the Harry Potter steam train bridge. We were originally only booked for 2 nights, but within minutes we decided to change our whole holiday plans and stayed 4 nights in total. Super easy to arrange this extension too. Honestly - cannot recommend enough, we will be returning! Oh, and the sunrise over the mountains with their little stream - just glorious!

Best campsite ever!

Red Squirrel combines the fun and freedom of wild camping with the safety and ease of a campsite just perfectly. The toilets/ shower blocks were the best I've seen on a UK campsite and Liam made us feel so genuinely welcome and cared for! Will definitely be back!

What an amazing campsite

Shame that I only stayed one night, but I'll be definitely adding this to my favourites. What an amazing site. So many variations of pitch, the river is beautiful. The facilities are clean and endless. Even a snack truck. Everybody was friendly and amazing. Thank you for making a solo woman traveller welcome & comfortable.

Great site and great staff

Fantastic location. Friendly helpful staff. Quiet throughout the week but got a bit lively with the weekend crowd on the Friday night. Great site if you are bringing your dogs.
