Hi don't know if your still answering questions but I'm planning going here soon for a camoing trip with my wife and kids to be at one with nature, the issue is something about pay for certain parts 3 pound a tent not a huge problem but makes me think where could I park I don't know if you know much about the paid pitches I will probably go for one of them to make things easier but I can't walk too far because of the kids do you know how close I will be able to park with the paid pitches ?
@ScottishMountainGoat3 жыл бұрын
The permits let you camp on the shoreline of Loch Achray. If you park at the Ben Venue carpark, it's about a 700m walk south along the road to some of the camping spots. I think there's a layby on the roadside even closer but I havnt been down that road. I'd probably just stick it in the carpark and walk round, should be fine for the kids too. Hope you enjoy you're trip!
