Loch Achray Campsite There’s a wide choice of places to camp in the National Park. Pitch up at a campsite along an idyllic lochshore or river, or for those who prefer the solitude of ‘wild camping’ away from the hustle and bustle, there are plenty of places to immerse yourself in some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. Whichever way you choose, please ensure you do it respectfully and responsibly. Leave no trace and always follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code - a practical guide to help everyone enjoy the outdoors responsibly: www.outdooracccess-scotland.com Loch Achray Loch Achray & Loch Venachar from Ben Venue East Loch Lomond Pick your Pitch There are a wide range of campsites throughout the National Park offering different levels of facilities. From campsites with hot showers and electric hook ups, to sites with basic facilities such as fresh water and toilets.

On Loch Lomond there is a small campsite on the beautiful island of Inchcailloch and on the shores of east Loch Lomond the campsite at Sallochy Bay, owned by Forestry and Land Scotland, offers woodland pitches next to the West Highland Way and the lochshore. The cost of a pitch will vary depending on the level of facilities on offer at a specific location. The map overleaf shows places to camp in the National Park.

Scotland’s access legislation means that everyone can camp wherever access rights apply, as long as it’s done responsibly. In the National Park seasonal camping byelaws apply in certain areas, which means in these places, between 1st March and 30th September you must camp in a campsite or designated permit area. Find out more in the ‘Camping Byelaws: What you need to know’ section. Inchcailloch summit The Scottish Outdoor Access Code says ‘wild camping’ is lightweight, done in small numbers and only for two or three nights in any one place. If you are ‘wild camping’ help to avoid causing problems for local people and land managers by not camping in enclosed fields of crops or farm animals, and by keeping well away from buildings, roads or historic structures. Take extra care to avoid disturbing deer stalking. If you want to camp close to a house or building, seek the owner’s permission. See the ‘Respect Your Park’ guidance overleaf for top tips on camping responsibly.

Three Lochs Forest Drive Loch Lubnaig Camping Permit Areas Permit areas are natural stretches of land with no set pitches or facilities offering a ‘wild camping’ experience within the Camping Management Zones. Motorhome Permit Areas The National Park provides permit areas specifically for motorhomes and campervans at Three Lochs Forest Drive, Inveruglas and Firkin Point. These are designed for informal, short stays of a maximum of three nights. There are also a number of campsites that take motorhomes and campervans (see map overleaf). There are plenty of places on roadsides in the National Park to safely stop and rest on your journey. These are unaffected by the camping byelaws. Permits cost £3 per tent/motorhome/campervan, per night and can be bought online at: lochlomond-trossachs.org/camping Loch Chon Campsite If you are coming to camp in the National Park, particularly between March and September, please plan ahead. National Park Rangers will always offer advice on how and where to camp responsibly but please be aware that failure to comply with the byelaws could result in a report to the Procurator Fiscal and a fine of up to £500.

  • River Forth Catchment Profile

    River Forth Catchment Profile

    Published September 2011 River Forth catchment profile Introduction The River Forth catchment encompasses a large area – approximately 1029 km2. As can be seen in Figure 1, the catchment not only contains the River Forth itself, but also major tributaries such as the River Teith. Figure 1: River Forth catchment Land-use within the catchment is predominantly rural, comprising managed forests and farmland. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park covers a significant portion of the upper reaches of the catchment. In the lower-lying reaches, a greater degree of urbanisation can be seen with the City of Stirling and surrounding villages, interspersed with agricultural holdings. Water resources are important within this catchment with the lochs and reservoirs serving important functions in the supply of drinking water – indeed Loch Katrine plays a vital role in providing Glasgow with much of its water. In addition, the development of small-scale micro hydro generation schemes are increasing within the catchment. The catchment contains 46 baseline1 surface water bodies, six of which are heavily modified. These heavily modified water bodies have been designated because of the modifications necessary to enable the supply of drinking water. There are five groundwater bodies associated with the catchment. Further information on the River Forth catchment can be found on the RBMP interactive map. 1 A baseline water body is a river which drains a catchment greater than 10km 2, lochs bigger than 0.5km2, all coastal waters out to three nautical miles, transitional waters such as estuaries and groundwaters. A non-baseline water body is a river or loch which falls below the size threshold.

In 2009, in partnership with the National Park Authorities, this work was extended to determine the special qualities of the two National Parks, including the National Scenic Areas within them.
