This caravan park is in the village of Invercoe, beside Glencoe village, on the very edge of Loch Leven. Easy approach roads lead to the low-walled site and its one-way system for entry to, and exit from, the park.
The first impression visitors receive is of the spectacular scenery and views available from the site in almost all directions. This long-established caravanning and camping park is surrounded by beautiful scenery, and has grassy, level pitches and many hardstanding areas, all provided with mains electric hook-up.
There is a small licensed shop on site which offers a range of groceries, some essentials and gas bottle exchange, and the well appointed launderette also houses a stack of tourist information leaflets. The park contains a children's play area, which has swings and a climbing frame, as well as a deep layer of bark chippings to provide a soft landing, if necessary.
The loch shore provides opportunities for families to go beachcombing or fishing for sea trout. The surrounding area is great cycling country, and there are off-road tracks and pathways in the nearby forestry areas.
Glencoe is an area of great natural beauty with many different low-level walks, such as the walk to Signal Rock where, in 1692, the signal to attack was given for the notorious massacre of the MacDonalds of Glencoe. Climbers and hill-walkers will be in their element with Ben Nevis and so many 'Munro' climbs nearby. Boat hire, pony trekking and riding are all within easy reach, and coastal cruises and coach tours are available, too. Other things to see and do around this fabulous area include mountain biking, skiing, sailing and, of course, distillery visits.
This is a beautifully-situated, family-run park which not only enjoys superb views of the sea loch and the surrounding mountains, but is also well situated for a range of outdoor activities in the nearby area.
