The area draws people who want to pitch a tent or park a caravan among woodland and water, rather than those looking for hotels or self-catering cottages. The campsites cluster around Loch Lomond and the surrounding landscape, with options ranging from basic woodland pitches to waterfront locations. Drummond Fish Farm Certificated Location and Loch Lomond Waterfront Lodges both sit at 4.7 ratings, the former drawing on nearly 600 reviews and the latter on over 300. Both suggest a level of comfort beyond the typical campsite experience. This is a place to come with a tent, a caravan, or a sleeping bag. If you're looking for restaurants, hotels, or tourist attractions in the conventional sense, you'll need to look beyond what the immediate area offers. But if you want to sleep under canvas or under stars near water and woodland, Stirlingshire has thought about what you need. ## Where to stay in Stirlingshire [All hotels in Stirlingshire →](https://staycation.co.uk/stirlingshire/hotels) About staying in Stirlingshire By The Way Hostel and Campsite (4.5 from 574 reviews) and Sallochy Campsite Woodland Camping (4.5 from 464 reviews) offer mid-range options popular with groups and families, while Drymen Camping rounds out the mid-tier at 4.4 from over 400 reviews.
