Red Squirrel Campsite is perfect for families, adventure seekers and hikers. Wild open pitches allow you to have the freedom to pick and choose your pitch. There is a pub just a 15 minute walk from the site. Either a short drive, or woodland walk into the village are a few more restaurants and a local shop.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Wild PitchesJun 2024

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

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!

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!

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.
