The plantation is situated near the village of Cample, and its close proximity to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park adds to its allure.

The plantation is also home to a diverse array of fungi, with mushroom enthusiasts often making their way here to study and photograph these fascinating organisms.

The serene atmosphere of Cample Plantation makes it an ideal destination for nature lovers seeking peace and tranquility. Its picturesque setting, combined with the soothing sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves, creates a truly immersive experience in the heart of nature.
