Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A wonderful place to stop on the road and rest. One of the most atmospheric Lochs. Tranquil place to visit. Great place, perfect for a break.

My family visited this place years ago. It’s in the middle of nowhere and you need a car to visit. We had our picnic and took over an hour from where we live to arrive. It was our aim in lockdown to go back. Being disabled, this was my one and. We arrived to find a lot of cars coming out. We went through the car park to find no spaces available. However the place we parked on our last visit was cornered off.
One man was kind enough to let us into the car park and moved the cone. Happy our aim was about to happen, someone came out and said we weren’t allowed to park the disabled bay.
“It’s a staff car park” we were told. This was confusing and I explained a gentleman moved the cone for us to park. “He doesn’t work here. The staff are parked and the car park there.” Pointing to the full car park which contradicted what she just said.
“The boss is on her lunch break and she’s wanting this car park pedestrianised.”
Rather than give us the moment to eat our lunch then move on so we knew next time, the kindness wasn’t available. To put it bluntly this beautiful tourist spot is now catering for LESS tourists which is baffling. What made it worse was seeing the two empty picnic tables available and not being used! Perhaps this is isn’t a tourist destination for us Scottish people to enjoy anymore. Lots of visitors turned away. Car park is for staff only and some tourists. Utterly baffled by the treatment

Worth a wee detour and walk alongside the Loch's beach. Took 2nd carpark where the take away drinks/ snacks Cabin and toilets are. £1 per hour to park. We thought it was worth it. Gets busy at lunchtime.

Insanely beautiful, peaceful picnic spot, clean bathrooms.
We accidentally came across Loch Lubnaig while driving in the area. What a lovely find!

There are a couple of parking areas (payment required) at the southern end on stony beaches with picnic benches. A nice spot for lunch.
At one of these there is the Cabin takeaway/kiosk too.
Its one of the more scenic lochs in the trossachs, I think, though doesn't compete with some of the scenery further north.

We parked in the pay & display car park as it is right on the shore. There are picnic tables, designated BBQ areas, public toilets and even a small takeaway. Gorgeous views over the loch and easy access into the water from the small beach.

This loch is along side one of the main roads of this part of the Highlands. However, it would be better put as the main road is along side of the Loch. Since it is set at rightangles to many of the other lochs, it can be mirror calm when the others are ruffled. This loch deserves your time.

Beautiful loch by main road above Callander en route to Lochearnhead. 3rd carpark out of Callander "The Cabin" is great. Pay & display, cheap parking, beautiful beach, good to swim, paddleboard, canoe from. Loos, coffee, tea, freshly baked cake. Never busy as carpark isnt big. Lovely place on good weather day.

Stunningly beautiful loch, although close to a busy main road. Good place to break a journey and dip one's toes in the loch.

Fabulous service from the cafe on the roadside side of the loch. Friendly staff and good quality food. Great place to relax, swim, sail, fish and have a barbecue on pre set frame (for portable types only.) Toilets on site are spotless.
Our favourite place.
