About Sallochy car park

Please note Sallochy Car Park will be closed from 23rd January to 31st March for essential construction works.

Explore Sallochy

Follow the way-marked trails or the West Highland Way to explore the beautiful woodlands that cloak the banks of Loch Lomond. This area is really good for wildlife and is protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation. Keep a look out and you never know what you might see!

Camping at Sallochy

Sallochy Woodland Camping is now available.  You can check availability or book a pitch online.

Where willows grow

The name Sallochy doesn't come from 'salach', the Gaelic for dirty, but from 'seileach', willow. Willow had many uses in the old days: people would weave wickerwork baskets, creels, chairs, horse-bridles - and even coffins!

How to get there:

Sallochy car park is in East Loch Lomond Woodland which is part of Queen Elizabeth Forest Park.
From Stirling, follow the A811 to Drymen and then from Glasgow, take the A809.

From Drymen take the B837 for east Loch Lomond and Rowardennan. Sallochy car park is approximately nine miles along this road.
Drymen is the nearest town or village.
