Faslane Peace Camp is a permanent peace camp situated near the south gate of the Faslane Naval base at Gare Loch. It has been occupied continuously, since 12 June 1982 although at one time there were two sites, one at each main gate. The camp is well established with mains water, a conventional toilet, a telephone, a large kitchen and living room, hot water and a bath, and planning permission for 12 caravans LinkExternal link (Wikipedia). However, the tenancy was ended in 1998 years ago when the council borders changed. The new council then organised an eviction LinkExternal link (The Herald Scotland) order but decided not to waste money on a large-scale eviction LinkExternal link (The Free Library)

Most of the camp is separated from the road by a fence and a hedge.
