Is Inverbeg worth it?
Inverbeg is a small roadside hamlet on the west shore of Loch Lomond, on the A82 about 3 miles north of Luss and 5 miles south of Tarbet. Its main business is Inverbeg Holiday Park, which lets static caravans and lodges beside the loch. There is no village centre, so treat Inverbeg as a quiet base or a stop on the way north. Staying overnight? Look at hotels, lodges and campsites compared.
Go if you want
A quiet shore base with a holiday park and the loch at your feet. Check month-by-month weather before you book.
Think twice if you want
Shops, a pier or boat trips. Luss is the nearest village with those, and Tarbet has the station and the waterbus.

Car-free
Bus 302 (Garelochhead Coaches) runs from Helensburgh to Carrick Castle via Luss, Inverbeg, Tarbet and Arrochar. Citylink 975 and 976 and the Ember E5 coach run along the A82, but the stop lists we hold name Luss and Tarbet, not Inverbeg. Check Traveline Scotland on the day, and see travel from Glasgow and Edinburgh for the wider picture.
