Reviewer: Edwards653 4 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday at Luss. The site was great, toilets were spotless and showers never to busy. Water points were close at hand and there was plenty access down to the beach area that runs the full length of the site.

The attendant's were very friendly, giving us a choice of pitch when we arrived and they were never far away with a friendly hello!

Luss itself was very nice, a couple of pubs and a great wee shop which had everything we needed. The site is pretty much bang in the middle between Balloch and Arrochar so it's well placed for sightseeing trips. The weather was fantastic when I was there, the only downside were the dreaded midge's, but a few sprays of skin so soft from the site shop soon sorted that out!

Wouldn't hesitate in recommending this site to anyone, and i'll certainly be back!

 Just got back from Luss and had a really good time, the wardens were really friendly and we had a pitch next to the lock.

I was impressed with the local shop in the village, it sold most things from camping stuff to fresh backed pastrys, cakes, bread, wine and beer, infact most thing except not a lot of fresh meat, the prices were reasonable as well, I thought we'd have to move the van a drive to balloch but we didn't move the van all week.

There's also a good cycle path from Balloch to Tarbet and with Luss being in the middle we cycled to tarbet one day and balloch the next, its approx 8 miles to each, the cycle to Tarbet was all off road and really nice, next time we would stop at Firkin point where there's a picnic area and toilets, as there wasn't a lot in tarbet itself.

The cycle to Ballock is mainly off road except for a 5 min section on the luss old road, you then go down the side of the golf course on the right of the big gates as it can be hard to see the path from a distance, but its easy to follow from there.

We had a really lovley evening in The Village Rest where the food was brillient and a good price but it can get busy so its best to book, the number is 01436 860220

We also went in the Colquhoun Arms hotel, it could do with refubishing, but was friendly and has a pool table and Sky, the food and serves was good but not as special as the village rest.

We also had a day out in Glasgow, you can catch the train in Balloch, it cost £2.30 return on the train, there's a bus that goes from the village to Balloch, but we missed the bus back so had to get a taxi, next time we'll drive to Balloch and park the van.

We really enjoyed our time in Luss and will be visiting again.

 Firstly, I must say, do not use your SatNav, it will probably take you to the golf club!

Lovely site, well kept although road a little bumpy in places but only to be expected due to being so popular.

Toilets were very clean and plenty of hot water for showers.

The rabbits and ducks didn't seem to mind the visitors!

We arrived and was told that if we wished we could move the following morning to a loch side view, we did and it was absolutely wonderful.

The site is in sections which makes it feel more secluded. Pitches are of a nice size. 2 shower blocks, never too busy. Even cut flowers in the toilet block which I thought was a nice touch. Dish washing areas were clean, light and airy.

There is a shop where you can purchase most of your groceries a short walk from the site and a lovely little village that is a must to see together with an interesting church and viking grave to be found. Nice walks around the area.

Although this site is situated by a main road the traffic noise was muted by trees etc and was not a problem at all.

The keepers of the site were very helpful, friendly and above all cheerful and made us feel very welcome.

The nearby pub was a bit grubby and wouldn't recommend but the 'Village Rest' was a lovely place to eat, friendly staff and not expensive

Would certainly like to visit this site again.

 Grrrreat site, hot powerful showers, clean toilets that even had freshly cut flowers in them, wardens helful and friendly even boiled their kettle for us wen we 4got ours.
Big co-op in Balloch for all your supplies and lavender sticks from poundland will make sure you're not the midges buffet.
We camped on the waters edge and had breakfast on the beach. A great advert for camping.

Reviewer: Gordon 8 reviews from this member

 Well the views from this site are unbelievable as this is right on the edge of Loch Lomond, when we visited the was a slight water problem. Heavy rain the week before which made the pitches a bit boggy, but other than that its a very clean site with helpful managers, we found that the nearest shops were some distance away in Dunbarton as was the petrol station, so we always topped up the petrol when we got the shopping. A very well set out site, but beware of the dreaded Midges.

Reviewer: Loobby 1 review from this member

 This was my first camping trip so don't have anything to compare it to but I had a great weekend at Luss. Facilities were good and clean, hairdryer was a bonus (takes 20p a time).

Staff were friendly and gave me help to put the tent up. I was pitched near the entrance and right next to the loch which was lovely.

The only slight downside to this site was the midges, but can these be avoided in Scotland? and the hotel next door had something going on at night, music playing until 12pm but once the earplugs were in wasnt a problem. The shop on site sells midge repellent and Avon skin so soft for those who don't come prepared.

The village of Luss itself is good for a wander also a few well signposted planned routes around the surrounding area and you can also take a boat trip around the islands on the loch from here. The shop has a wide variety of items including some camping equipment but try to make sure you take everything with you I paid £11 for a bottle of sun cream.

Will definitely visit this site again.

 What a fantastic long weekend we have just had at Luss. The Staff on site were so attentive and show you to your pitch, they were brilliant with the kis, telling them which wildlife to look out for and where to play.

Even though they had had heavy rain before we got there they made sure that the ground was ok around the pitches.

The showers were fantastic, really warm and powerful and extremely clean, they are cleaned between 2-3pm, a sensible time, if only other sites would follow!

The area has plenty to do, shopping at the Lomond Shores Centre, Sealife Centre, Pedloes, canoes and visitors centre full of info for the area.

Just go you'll love it,we can't wait to go back!

 This is a very nice site and the wardens were very nice and helpful has 2 Toilet and shower blocks and they are spotless and great washing areas and a laundrette. The reception also doubles as a small shop.
Our pitch was right on the edge off a small beach and the kids loved this and the views over the Loch were great are also only a short stroll into the very nice village of Luss were there is a shop that does everything from camping gear to take away snacks papers food and souvineres.
There are also a couple of other shops and cafes and 2 hotels 1 next to the campsite very handy for a meal or a drink. Luss also has a very nice beach and a visitor centre.

Reviewer: Ianjren 2 reviews from this member

 This site is in a beautiful location right on the shores of Loch Lomond. The staff are very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The showers are clean and well maintained at all times. Luss is small and there is not much there, but what is, is very quaint and appealing. We also managed the 9 mile bike ride to Balloch which was along a well signposted cycle route. (Off main road) From Balloch station, trains run regularly to Glasgow. The Lodge Hotel and restaurant (Calquhouns) next to the Campsite is a very special experience - gorgeous food and spectacular views in fabulous surroundings. The food is outstanding and although it's not cheap - you get what you pay for. A visit is strongly recommended.

Overall this is an excellent site well worth a visit.

 Beautiful location, friendly staff, exceptional toilet & shower facilities. We return time after time to Luss Campsite it's one of the best for peace and breathtaking scenery. A short 5 minute walk into 'Take The High Road Village' Luss for morning coffee or lunch at the hotel.
We've already booked to visit 3 times in 2008 but this number WILL rise as we love this site so much.
The downside - the midges (but Avons Skin So Soft will sort them out).

Reviewer: BORCIC 5 reviews from this member

 In our 18months of motorhoming this is by far the best site we have visited location wise. Right on the banks of Loch Lomond and a short walk to Luss, there isn't much in Luss apart from the usual gift shops,but thats the attraction. The village shop sells most things (although if you run out of wine is a little expensive) and one pub. Showers on site were fantastic. The only drawback was the fence on the beach at either side of the site, this meant you couldn't walk into Luss on the beach you had to go round but we were cheeky and went down the side of the hotel.

  Great location! Very poor site, I am a CCC member and was very dissapointed with the standard at this site. Stayed for two weeks August and September and toilets ranged from dirty to at times unuseable. Poor all round experience and of course the 'midges had a field day'.

Sorry CCC must do better !

Reviewer: Fetaolive 3 reviews from this member

 Thisis a C&CC site and not wishing to cause any offence, our past experience as non-members has not been particularly positive. Not here though- we were directed to a loch side spot and permitted to pitch up our tent. The campsite is beautiful, with roving views of Loch Lomond and the surrounding mountains.
The toilet/shower block is spotless, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the reception area sells a few essentials. The nearby village of Luss is only a short walk away and has a great pub serving lovely food. One word of caution - midges - we were recommended an Avon product to help keep them at bay, and found the said product in the shop at Luss (on car park). Absolute blessing as nothing else worked. Other than the midges, the wildlife was wonderful.
We only stayed two nights as we were travelling back to Manchester but would have happily stayed for much longer.

Reviewer: Cocteau 8 reviews from this member

 Site is in a great location running along the banks of Loch Lomond on the opposite banks to Ben Lomond.  Short walk into very pretty village of Luss.  Ronnie really friendly and helpful.  Anne could do with smiling and at least appear to be making you welcome particularly when they are taking £24 a night for a family tent!  Facilities are average, shower drove me around the bend as they have those push timer taps which last about ten seconds however if you make use of your elbow and back it is possible to keep the shower running constantly, having said that the water was hot.
 
The only real thing that spoiled our stay was the noise from traffic on the A82 which runs the length of the campsite.  Our tent was at the loch's edge in a great spot but the traffic was unrelenting even at one in the morning. Don't underestimate this road as it's one of the main roads north from Glasgow.  Sadly despite the brilliant location we won't be back because of this.

 On arrival at the site we were shown to our pitch (via a road full off pot holes) by the assistant warden who was very helpful, but after numerous attempts to level the caravan on a pitch that was water logged I went back to the reception & complained and we were going to go away but decided to persevere and managed to get the caravan somewhere near level using chocks & ramps.
We put the awning up after my partner had made lots of holes in the grass to try to drain the water away.
 
Well the next day could not have been so different, we woke to glorious sunshine and the site dried out really quickly.
 
This is a lovely site with the most powerful showers I have ever used, I just feel that the Caravan & camping club are not giving their members the facilities they expect as the one set of toilets / showers I used furthest away from reception need updating and also money needs spending on the road through the site as the pot holes are really bad and our car exhaust took a battering a few times & also more hard standing pitches are needed as the grass gets so sodden that the warden had to tape off quite a few pitches which means they are losing revenue.
 
Apart from those few things you could not ask for a more idyllic location right on the loch.
 
Also highly recommended is the takeaway Chillies in Balloch superb food and the prices are so good.
I would return to this site if improvements were made.
