Firkin Point A camping permit area March-September

Firkin Point A is a tent-only camping permit area on the western shore of Loch Lomond, operated by Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority.

Camping bylaws apply from 1 March to 30 September, during which a permit must be booked in advance through the National Park. The area is divided into several zones, some close to the water's edge, offering open views across the loch toward Ben Lomond.

There are no marked pitches; the pre-booking system simply caps numbers to keep the experience feeling like wild camping. Public toilets are available on site. The location also sits along the West Lomond Cycle Path, which runs between Balloch and Tarbet.
