  • 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.

From the manager: Hi Raymond,
Thanks for your review, we really appreciate the feedback we get as it helps us to improve. Due to recent development on the park we are unable to offer additional touring pitches and with the touring pitches, touring pitches with hot tubs and the rental accommodation it is felt that we offer a suitable mix that can cater for everyone.
We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again soon!

From the manager: Hi Robbie,

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (hot tub)

The rules where not adhered to .1/noise music playing after 11pm 2/dog fouling not picked up, 3/ one way system not adhered to.4/ ash bucket was full when we arrived .generally it looks tired .this is early in the season. Things should have been sorted before opening up

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although we are surprised to read your scoring and comments as they are at odds with by far the vast majority of the reviews we've received. This leads us to ask if you reported any of this to staff while on the park, or on your departure? We pride ourselves on our customer service and we would certainly have dealt with the issues had we been informed of them. If you would like to discuss this further, we would welcome you contacting us at the park directly.

Elizabeth J. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Friendly staff, great showers, clean warm shower & toilet block and dish-washing area. Small, peaceful site. Adjacent park great for dog-walking. Would definitely go again.

Disliked: If I had to find something to dislike, it would be that the high hedges kept the evening sun off us - though, on the plus side, we had sun in the morning!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review. We're so pleased you had a great time!
We're so lucky at the moment to have this wonderful sunshine at the moment so we're glad you enjoyed it. We have the hedges at the height we do to help maintain the peace and tranquility of the park, as we are quite close to the town.
We certainly hope to see you again, and that you bring the gorgeous weather with you again!

Camping pod (ensuite, hot tub)

Liked: Right next to the river for fishing.
The peace and quiet
It's only a 2 minute drive from the shops
Plenty of places to walk the dogs
Friendly staff

Disliked: Only thing i disliked was Having to keep dogs on a leash at all times

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Reece, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and found many positives of staying on the park. We ask that all pet owners keep their pets on a leash while on the park out of respect for those guests who don't have pets and perhaps have allergies or phobias. As you no doubt experienced, there is a large public field right next door to the park where dogs can run freely.

Very good place to see and do things

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.
