Glendaruel

Located in Argyll Glendaruel is a large glen with small town called the Clachan of Glendaruel with a rather small population of just under 200. As the population is so small locals have to travel to the nearest towns such as Tighnabruaich and Dunoon for every day necessities. As Glendaruel is so out of the way it is an ideal spot for caravan and camping holidays for those who want some peace and quiet away from modern technology.

GLENDARUEL CARAVAN & CAMPING PARK

Just a five minute walk from the main town there is a Caravan and Camping park which is open from the 1st of April to the 31st of October to tourists and members who have a pitch there. The site welcomes Campers and Tourers. If you do not own a tent or you do not have your own caravan you can hire a caravan at the park or spend a few nights at the camping lodge which is a small isolated hut ideal for two people and is very popular with cyclists and motorcyclists. Also there is an on-site shop which stocks the necessities.
The park is dog friendly and child friendly with a few rules that those staying at the park must adhere to such as:

• All dogs must be kept on a leash inside the park.
• Children must not play around the caravans. Instead they must use the play park or the playfield at the side of the park.
• No noise between 11pm and 9am.
• No parking cars in spare pitches.

Our Caravan at the park

I have been going to this Caravan Park for almost five years and it is by far one of the best ones in the area as it is simple and quiet in comparison to the other parks closer to Dunoon that tend to focus too much on attracting tourists rather than maintenance.
