About Balloch Castle Country Park

Balloch Castle Country Park is a expansive 200-acre public park nestled at the gateway to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. With woodland, parkland, gardens and shoreline along the River Leven, it’s a versatile venue for outdoor events, concerts, and family days out. While there is no formal seating chart, guests enjoy informal seating on picnic benches and along the shore near the boathouse and slipway. The nearest facilities, parking and transit options are described below to help you plan a smooth visit.

Whether you’re catching a summer concert, the Loch Lomond Highland Games in July, or a community event, we’ve got you covered with practical tips on parking, transport, and nearby places to stay and dine.

Need a place to stay or eat nearby? Consider Loch Lomond Arms Hotel in Luss, Loch Lomond Hotel in Balloch, Duck Bay Hotel & Cottages at Duck Bay, or Cameron House nearby. We link to trusted partner options to help you secure convenient lodging and dining, so you can focus on enjoying the day. For event planning and travel, the National Park provides helpful journey-planning resources and local maps. Remember, summer parking can fill up quickly at Moss O’ Balloch and Castle car parks, and coaches should drop off/pick up at the Castle before parking elsewhere.
