The Rob Roy Way does not have a lot of camp sites along it's length. Most are some way of the route. Yesterday14th April, 2 brave walkers set of from Easter Drumquassie Farm, this camp site is on the West Highland Way about 3 miles outside Drymen and is the nearest camp site to Drymen and the start of the RRW. They were heading for Immervoulin Caravan and Camping site at Strathyre a long walking day aprox 29 miles. Their plan was to walk from Strathyre to Kenmore and be transported from Kenmore to Aberfeldy and then transported back to Kenmore the next day. However the long walking distances and early starts and late finishes has taken it's toll. Their plan was changed to include a stop at High Creagans camp site just 2 miles out of Killin. There is no longer a campsite at Kenmore the next nearest being Aberfeldy Caravan Park necessitating in the transport arrangements to and from Kenmore.
It is possible to camp along the RR way but as you will gather it does present some planning issues as well as some long days of walking. These days can be shortend by including the use of sites at Cobeland, Balquhidder Station. For information on the camp sites that can be used go to the RRW web site or contact bike and hike. Colin.
