  • Peaceful family-run park in a handy location on the edge of Kinross
  • Loch Leven 10 minutes’ drive, and Perth city centre 20 minutes
  • Play park and communal bothy on site, plus a woodland dog-walking area
Now here’s a handy location indeed for seeing lots of Scottish sights all in one break – Gallowhill Camping and Caravan Park is on the edge of Kinross, an excellent Perthshire spot for getting out to explore the likes of Edinburgh, Stirling, St Andrews and Perth. In fact, the park is pretty much in the centre of the area bounded by these four cities, with none of them more than an hour’s drive away. The M90 (running north-south) and A91 (east-west) are both close by, so journeys should be fairly straightforward – and the proximity of the roads also makes this a useful park to consider if you need a stopover on a longer journey. Having Kinross town centre just down the road (about 20 minutes’ walk/five minutes’ drive) means that you can easily use the park-and-ride services to travel around without driving, and there are plenty of amenities close by, including supermarkets, takeaways and places to eat out. Loch Leven is 10 minutes’ drive away for fishing and walks/bike rides on the 13-mile lakeside trail. It’s not just a handy location for travel, though – the park itself is well set up too, with facilities including a play park and an area for football. There’s also a bothy (good for hunkering down in wet weather) with tourist info, kettle, microwave and phone charger points. Laundry facilities are provided as well, along with toilets, showers and a separate accessible bathroom. Dogs are welcome at Gallowhill, and there’s a private woodland exercise area where they can have a good run about.

What customers say

This is a friendly, well-maintained campsite offering good value with spacious pitches and essential facilities. Many guests praised the peaceful atmosphere, helpful staff (particularly Alan), and convenient location. The dog walking area and children's play park were popular. However, some visitors noted the shower facilities were dated and required a £1 payment, and a few experienced occasional road noise.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great little campsite! I came with my brother and his two daughters, my son & my dog and we were able to be pitched together despite him requiring an electric hookup. He camped and I used our tentbox. Hosts were lovely and accommodating. Toilet block was lovely and clean. £1 for shower. They had a little park in the middle and a nice dog walk in the woods behind the caravans. Highly recommend. Didn’t try the WiFi as the 5G was amazing here due to there being a mast basically on site.

Moira S.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Welcome was lovely and friendly on a Saturday evening. We were shown to pitch and even given recommendations for take aways that delivered to the site.
Facilities were decent, they were clean. Showers were on a timer which was a challenge but manageable. All in all would give 7/10 compared to other sites.

Disliked The downside was the toilets and toilets block had drainage smell although the toilets were clean..

Local attractions

Get to know Perth (20 minutes’ drive) on a self-guided Treasure Hunt Trail, or head further afield to the historic university town of St Andrews (50 minutes), which pulls in visitors to explore the cathedral and castle, or play golf on the fabled Old Course. When big-city lights come calling, head for the museums, art galleries and upscale shops of Edinburgh (55 minutes). You’ll be in pole position to learn something of Scottish history at Gallowhill; Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in foreboding waterside Lochleven Castle (10 minutes) in 1567, while Scone Palace (half an hour) was once the crowning place of Scottish kings and is now open for guided tours of lush interiors. Former home of King James IV, Stirling Castle (45 minutes) has an ornate Great Hall restored to its 16th-century splendour and interactive displays in its Victorian-era kitchens. If you’re rather potter about in the fresh air, stride across Fife hillsides in Lomond Hills Regional Park (25 minutes), or try archery and axe-throwing at Kinross Activity Centre (10 minutes). Keen on wildlife? You can often see red squirrels near the visitor centre at RSPB Loch Leven (10 minutes).
