If you are looking for a nice family orientated campsite packed with facilities then the Red Squirrel is not the one to visit...try the other further along the road nearer the village. Personally speaking the Red Squirrel has the basic needs for 1-2 nighters and is easily the most scenic in the area with the best pub for miles around a hop and a skip away....spent many a good night there...it ticks my boxes.

I visited this site at the weekend just gone, Fri 12th Oct - Sun 14th Oct. Indeed site is very basic, but then this is not a family site. A good base with great views for hiking etc. Pain about the shower requiring 50p. Dish washing has hot water on tap, but still the trough. But then if you want mods and cons, don't go camping. Atlas pub was a great way to finish of the weekend. Excellent Scottish band, pub was heaving with people from all walks of life just wanting to have a good time together. Shame English pubs are not like, but then that's the Scots for you. Always willing to welcome you with open arms. Rgds Colin.

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.

Brian from Fife.
