Sallochy West Highland Way campsite now bookable online

The new basic campsite set up at Sallochy can now be booked online. Following the summer camping ban which is now in place on the east side of Loch Lomond between Drymen and Rowardennan, a new campsite at Sallochy Bay was established. During its first season of operation there have been some complaints from walkers on the West Highland Way that a permit had to be bought in advance in Balmaha and that on route information about the site was hard to come by.

The campsite, which is for tents only and has basic toilet facilities but no drinking water, can now be booked online. The campsite is run by the Forestry Commission and compliments a much larger one, with more facilities at Cashel. The Sallochy campsite is open the same dates as the camping ban, 1 March to 31 October and costs £5 per person with reduced rates for children. Details of the West Highland Way including full route description and maps and links to accommodation can be found on Walkhighlands.
