Since first visiting Glencoe from Australia in 2006 we've been back twice and both times headed straight for the Red Squirrel. It's big enough to get a decent camp site, it is clean, staff are very friendly, views are great and it's easy to find by following the conga line after a night at the Clachaig.

Spent a VERY wet weekend here 27-29th June. Fantastic camp site if you are happy to embrace the spirit of camping. Yes it's basic - yes there are midges (why is this the responsibility of the owner - it's nature!) It was clean, the staff and owners were very friendly. Had a fantastic time even though it chucked it down most of the time. I've never seen scenery like it. If you want more buy a caravan or go to a B&B - camping is obviously not for you. PERFECT!

I had a fantastic holiday here. I was here Fri 27th June - Sun 29th June 08.

I loved the site. The scenery was amazing! I got camped right next to the river. I loved falling asleep and listening to the water rushing by my tent. I got the best sleep ever in my tent here.

The site was very clean. I saw staff out early every morning with litter pickers looking for any rubbish. The toilets and shower were also very clean.

I thought 50p for a shower was a great idea. It gave me a fair time to get showered and I felt it would make other campers not spend too long showering. I never had to wait long, even when it was busy thanks to this! ... A great boom!

I also thought £7.00 a night was ok. I spoke to many on the site who had been there many times. I could see why. It was so relaxed.

The thing I will remember most though about my visit, was how nice and friendly all the staff were. Everyone had a smile and a hello. Even when cleaning the toilets! lol

I loved the female wardens sense of humour. She thought my friend and I would leave engaged! It would have been a lovely place for such an event! But sadly we are always going to be camping buddies! lol one of the staff also shared her Birthday chocolates with us. How nice! This is needed more in Scotland I feel.

We really do hope to return again, one day. We had heavy rain a few times but it would never put us off such a nice site. we love camping and experiencing the Red Squirrel campsite has made us love it all the more.

I have camped on the Red Squirrel a few times now and the scenery is out of this world. As most folk write, the toilets are not the best, but if you don't mind basics then this shouldn't be a problem. The atmosphere on the site is great as you are left to your own devices. To be honest though, I wouldn't advise the quiet camper to venture here on busy weekends or holidays.

I camped here in July 2009 and, because of drunk folk, I left the next day and headed to Kinlochleven. In saying that I've camped here in March and it was magic as long as you don't mind being cold at night. The fire pits are a real bonus as it's like wild camping but you have the safety of a campsite.

I would definitely advise folk to go here; just bear in mind the basic facilities and that at peak times it may be unsuitable for quieter folk.

I decided to visit this campsite for the first time this year as it sounded like a fun place to camp ! But it seems to have changed.....! It would appear to be a "Camping and Caravan Club" site now and seems to have had a makeover .....and there were very few campers there ! It wasn't what we were expecting so decided not to stay.......
