About
Kilchurn Castle stands at the head of Loch Awe and was the powerbase of the Campbells of Glenorchy. The castle itself is currently closed for conservation work, but visitors can still walk to and around the exterior for views of the ruins and surrounding mountains.
Who it suits
Campervan practical note
Historic Environment Scotland explicitly states there is no vehicular access or parking at the castle. Plan a legal parking option elsewhere and approach on foot rather than stopping a campervan on the A85.
Local support & visitor value
Helps visitors enjoy a major Loch Awe landmark without creating parking pressure or blocking working farmland and road access.
Parking notes
There is no official vehicular access or visitor parking at Kilchurn Castle. Do not stop or leave a campervan on the A85 or block farm access. Only visit once you have identified a legal, safe parking option away from the castle approach.
Responsible travel
Respect working farmland, keep livestock safe, wear suitable footwear and never create an informal roadside parking problem to reach the castle.
Please use designated parking, avoid blocking roads or passing places, respect local communities, and check current conditions before travelling.
