 Nice campsite among woodland and next to a river with great mountain views. Roughly £15 per person per night. For backpackers, couples and families, child friendly.
The weather was pretty bad when we arrived, a downpour, we literarly had to just find the first available spot to pitch our tent as the campsite was already full and the ground already sodden. Some areas were rock hard so trying to get pegs in the ground was very difficult.
Facilities are fine although need a little updating. As the site was so full trying to use the sinks to wash up or the laundry room was a nightmare at times.
The washer/dryer costs £1 to use but we found people were using it and just leaving their clothes in the machine. Just made things awkward as you don't really want to be touching other peoples clothes or trying to find a space to put them so we gave up.
The toilet block was not so bad as there were plenty of toilets including a couple of separate stand alones to use but the showers were often too busy, so we waited until later in the morning as by that time the campsite had emptied. O
Ne thing to note, the shower cubicles are small. I'm a larger guy and because the showers doors swing open outwards the space to move was reduced by half, so there was not enough space to move. Something to be mindful about.
They do have fire pits to use and plenty of wood was always available. There is also a food stall on site that serves drinks and hot food in the morning and evenings which is handy.
All in all its a good campsite for the location and the scenery but for the time of year it was just crammed. Not much you can do about the weather but then that's part of camping, it didn't change our enjoyment for the 3 nights we were there.
Finding space to pitch could be a problem as it's a free for all but it is what it is.
Would we visit again, yes, just not in the peak season.

The Mountain View’s from the site are stunning.
The site is well organised.
The facilities are excellent, clean and spacious.
Beautiful riverside site with trees. In August it was busy & there were a lot of cars on site.
We probably could have found a quieter spot but we wanted to be near our car for an early set off to Oban for a ferry.

Awesome site, beautiful setting, private as you want, each unit is separate and not overcrowded.
If you want everything on tap, this is not for you.
But if you want a clean and functional site, Red squirrel won't disappoint.
Highly recommended, but I shouldn't really tell you all about it, or it might be spoilt.

This site is in a beautiful location in Glencoe, within easy walking distance of a great pub.
We received a warm welcome, but pitches are not allocated so you just have to drive around and find a spot, it was easy for us as we arrived relatively early but later in the day you might struggle.
The hard standing pitches were quite rough so chocks would be needed on most of them and I dread to think how hard it would be to get tent pegs into the rocky ground!
The facilities blocks are a collection of portaloo type cabins and sheds; it's a bit rough and ready, but the showers were hot and we never had to wait for the loo.

I really don't understand how people rave so highly about this site - it's one of the worst I've ever been on!
The website talks about hardstanding pitches - well they are sort of, but not like you expect, little more than rubble thrown down on the ground and barely visible through the weeds. Most of the pitches are rocky and very uneven. There are a small number of better pitches but on a busy day you would be very lucky to nab one of those.
All pitches are little more than clearings amongst the trees so are rough and very muddy in wet weather. The facilities are awful, made from potacabins and huts.
Trying to find a decent pitch when the site is crowded is nigh on impossible - it's free for all!
Washing up facilities are dire as are they beneath a ramshackle shelter. Taps are loose, plugs not existant, water only warm (any time of day), overflows not even plumbed in.
Showers are very small and very old. On the plus side they are clean, but only if get there soon after cleaning, the rest of the time the floors are swimming and everything is grubby. The electric showers are fine and not restricted to time (one plus point).
There are a couple of additional toilets which are old portaloos with no hot running water or dryers.
Plus points: I received a warm, friendly welcome. The showers are okay (not the cubicles).

Great campsite have visited a few times and would highly Recommend
Mix of hard pitches for vans, flats open grass and also sheltered tree covered tent pitching areas
In an amazing setting in the foot of glencoe mountains and a river running alongside with great facilities and managed to get a decent phone signal.

Site with great view. Good location for exploring Glencoe and Ranoch.
Sanitarie was okay, wifi worked good, but only near the kiosk. We stayed there with a tent and a rooftop-tent and had a dog with us.
We will come again.

Amazing location, staff were more than helpful,
Great experience and will definitely be back.
Had a few personal issues with my own equipment which staff helped me with without hesitation even when clearly busy!

Wonderful campsite in a glorious location.
I really liked the unstructured approach - pitch where you like, just be mindful of a few basic (but totally understandable and practical) house rules, such as noise, vehicles on hard standing and so on.
Staff helpful and laid back.
Unquestionably I will go again.

The staff were amazing, they even offered to run us to a local garage when we needed to fix our van.
They're constantly working around the site to ensure everything runs smoothly.
The setting of the campsite is spectacular and perfect for all types of campers.
The kids there looked like they were having so much fun.
We'll be back soon.

Been coming here for years and I say it's the best camping site in the whole of Scotland
It lies in the picturesque Glencoe everyday it looks stunning,
Facilities are good, and no strict rules, very relaxing place,
Dog friendly, campfire friendly (but be sensible)
Will always be back there.

Loved the fact you could have a fire.
Toilets clean with lovely hot water. Unfortunately there was only one shower working.
Disliked the fact there was no where to empty chemical toilet
Within walking distance of Clachaig Inn where you have a drink or a meal.
Great location with plenty of walks nearby.
Glencoe Village with great village shop not far.
