Tarbet Isle is one of the designated camping permit areas within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park's Camping Management Zones.

From 1 March to 30 September each year, a permit is required to camp here under the National Park's Camping Management Byelaws 2017. Failure to comply can result in a fine of up to £500.

As a permit area rather than a developed campsite, Tarbet Isle offers a natural stretch of lochshore land with no set pitches or facilities, providing a wild camping experience within a managed framework.

Permits can be booked up to four weeks in advance through the National Park Authority.
