  • Touring park with river and mountain views
  • Fish for salmon and trout on a private stretch of the river
  • Heated amenities block with free hot showers
Might you want a stay in a riverbank location in pretty Perthshire, with striking mountain views and a scenic section of bank from which to cast off for salmon and trout? Go on, you’ve Earned it. Find this – and a fair bit more – at Braidhaugh Holiday Park on the banks of the River Earn, 10 minutes’ walk from Perthshire’s market town of Crieff and listed as a spectacular scenery site for its mountain and river views. You can pick up a permit at reception to fish on Braidhaugh’s own part of the Earn, or use the park as a base for touring Perthshire and other top Scottish sites. Gentle canters on horseback or foot are nearby too: walks of all levels are all around the Crieff area and horse riding is available at Braidhaugh’s sister site in the area, Loch Tay Highland Lodges. Facilities on site include a heated and clean amenities block with free power showers, toilets, a wash area, shaver points and hairdryers. Facilities for disabled guests are in the main shower block. Clothes can be washed, dried and pristinely pressed in the launderette (get the other half to do it, you’re on holiday), and the games room with table football, dartboard, air hockey and TV should keep the kids occupied on rainy days. Top up essentials and toiletries at the onsite shop, or head into Crieff for more substantial supplies, restaurants, pubs and hotels.

Camping pod (ensuite, hot tub)

Liked: Loved the park and the camping pod, with a the beautiful river Earn behind us. Very peaceful even though they where doing renovations.

Disliked: The hot tub cost a fortune to heat up as the 2 bags given by the park didn't last an evening. Also it didn't feel overly clean even though I'm sure it was and probably just me as iv never been in one without bubbles. Also only other issue was the shower. I kept on eco as requested by the laminated sign but it was that weak, I did not feel fully fresh. That being said It would not put me off returning to the beautiful park.

Spotlessly clean and close to the town. Ideal for overnights.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The site is only 10mins walk from the town centre, with plenty local rural walks on the doorstep. The toilet and shower block was spotlessly clean. The park itself was very tidy.

Disliked: Dare I say it, but the site was very quiet, it had little atmosphere. This may be due to it being early in the season. While the noise was kept to a minimum, building works resulted in some lorry noise in the morning.

Camping pod (ensuite, hot tub)

Liked: We couldn't have asked for anything more from our stay! The place was clean to a high standard. The receptionist and on site staff were very friendly. It was a short leisurely walk into Crieff, where you could buy supplies or eat out at tasty cafes and restaurants. It was such a peaceful place, just what we needed! Staying here made my first time in Scotland all the more special and I'm already looking forward to my next visit ☺️

Local attractions

Ah, Perthshire…you could spend weeks here and still have to go back for more. More fishing, great golfing, red squirrels, country parks and historical highlights including Scotland’s oldest library and Iron Age hill forts – all here, along with the essentials of whisky trailing and big city shopping. Nearby Crieff was a wild-west style cattle rustling town in times of yore; it’s tamer these days but thrillseekers can check out the Crieff Hydro Outdoor Activity Centre to whirl around an aerial adventure course on tightropes, ziplines and cargo nets, or get sporty at some of the dozens of indoor and outdoor pursuits here including golf, riding, swimming and football. The centre has a reputation for being particularly sprog-friendly, as does the popular MacRosty Park: there’s a good-sized children’s playground here for all ages, beside a café for tired parents. From MacRosty, set off along the River Earn to see the trees on Lady Mary’s Walk, one of Perthshire’s most popular strolls for its wealth of wildlife and autumnal blaze. Another top tree-based walk – Perthshire is known as Big Tree Country, after all – is around the oldest managed forest in Scotland, Craigvinean, or the Atholl Estate and its wild tree garden, with possibly the biggest Douglas fir you’ll ever see.
