Caolasnacon Caravan & Camping Park
UK Scotland Highlands Argyll & Bute
Caolasnacon Caravan & Camping Park sits in an ideal spot just outside Kinlochleven, only a few miles from otherworldly Glen Coe, on the southern bank of Loch Leven. This site features 18 (6-person) static caravans, plus plenty of space for tents, campervans, and touring caravans with 36 electrical hook-up points. Given the space and natural drama, the well-equipped site rarely feels too crowded. You can fish, paddle or kayak straight from the site, and the owners are ultra-friendly too, with proprietor Patsy Cameron at the helm. Camp fires are allowed too, so make sure to pack a wee dram to enjoy by firelight late into the Highland night.
