Central Scotland camping spots

[Broon01]

Hi.

I'm planning a trip for the end of march and was hoping on some advice. I've just got rid of my car so I'm relying on public transport which I hate so want to keep journey time down.

I'm thinking about loch ard but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Why not the West Highland Way which starts at Milngavie and is easy to get to from central Glasgow? Otherwise what about Pitlochry - only a few stops on the train from you and it sits surrounded by water and forest?

It's very easy to get a bus to Loch Earn from Stirling, you can camp on the beach and for a more peaceful night take a hike up one of the tributaries on the north shore.

Another vote for Loch Earn, a lovely place for a wander.

Loch Earn is a good area , but a bit closer to you is Callender . cross the river and head south west towards loch venachar , up the hill to the south
is loch Drunkie set in a lovley bit of woodland .
I first camped by loch drunkie in April 86 ,i remember it well as i was laying in my tent listening to radio reports of the chernobyl disaster .

Certainly plenty of entertainment and company at Loch Earn.

Fintry hills are good for the dawn view.

Yes you can drive to it but i think as it is part of the 3 lochs forest drive the road might be closed at this time of year , also they might not like overnight parking .

Thanks everyone.

Great sugestions, keep them coming please. I'm going to head to the library at the weekend and get some map time in.

I'm taking my girlfriend and don't what there to be too much walking involved so I don't get the inevitable "are we there yet? " every 10 minutes.

So, did Liam Neeson portray a good account of Rob Roy?
