Handy stopover with fantastic views

Gartfairn Farm
We used this site as a stopover whilst travelling the length of Scotland. A more interesting alternative to the caravan sites on the busier side of Loch Lomond with fantastic views from the site over the loch. Facilities basic but ok. Site at the end of a long hard surfaced track from the main road which also serves as a handy dog walk - very little traffic along it and whatever there is you can see it coming well in advance. The walking options from the site are limited to the access track and along the road from there to Balmaha. There is a pavement all the way alongside the road but it is a bit of a long way. We went to the Oak Tree Inn at Balmaha which was ok.

Stunning views

Gartfairn Farm
Great little site, with easy access to Loch Lomond shores just a short drive, or walk down the road. Elevated location gives stunning views from your pitch. Very quiet location.

Superb CL with outstanding views

Gartfairn Farm
What a gem! Easy to find and in an excellent location within walking distance of Balmaha (1 mile). However the unquestionable appeal is the views over Loch Lomond. Absolutely stunning, particularly if you get one of the 3 front pitches. Very peaceful, no road noise. In fact no noise at all except the sheep! Never been before but will definitely return.

Stunning

Gartfairn Farm
Just stayed for 3 nights in our caravan. Well kept site, EHU, very basic CDP. Great access to Balmaha and Loch Lomond. Blessed with the weather and simply stunning views. Will definitely return when passing next.
