Cruachan farm caravan and camping park

  • Family-run park near the western end of Loch Tay
  • Loch Earn and Loch Lomond within an hour's drive
  • Laundry room on site; dogs welcome
Set in quiet countryside near the western end of Loch Tay and around an hour's drive from Loch Lomond, Cruachan Farm Caravan and Camping Park is a family-run site in a great position for sightseeing around the southern Highlands and central Scotland. Whatever kind of accommodation you opt for, you'll have access to a smart and spacious park with well-maintained amenities like a toilet and shower block and a laundry room. The site is well under a mile from the banks of Loch Tay and close to lots of other outdoor attractions: watersports, birdwatching and tracking down ancient burial sites are all popular pastimes you can get up to in the local area. It's also a 15 minutes' walk from Loch Tay Highland Lodges, where guests are welcome to use the facilities. Cruachan Farm Caravan and Camping Park is a five-minute drive to the east of Killin, a scenic spot with a castle, pubs, a supermarket and waterside walks around the gorgeous Falls of Dochart.

shane n.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (five person)

Liked Leaving Early!

Disliked I accept its Scotland and rain is usual we came we prepared for a damp camp.
The Tent camp site is completely useless. basically two grassed hills 0 flat areas, no road or shingled path access just two muddy tire tracks half way up one hill which you will get stuck in. one or two 4 x 4s managed to get up there during dryer weather a day or so before but were packed face down hill to escape.
I checked out early and very politely aired my dismay at the inadequacies but the staff we completely indifferent and uninterested. We paid £300 to stay in the killin hotel instead. Again we came prepared for rain and mud etc. that's not an issue but trying to drive up steep muddy hills and destroying the grass is not worth it to then get utterly stuck. There should at least be a gravel track around the site to access pitches. I was most disappointed in the glazed look of indifference from the staff there and no i did not ask for a refund this is an honest review of the facilities for tent camping at that site.

Good location for hiking (Ben Lawers very close). Friendly staff. Facilities cleaned regularly.…

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Beautiful views. Clean and functional facilities. Quiet and lovely if you went exploring and on-site and amazing wildlife spotting, which we loved.

Disliked Check in procedure. I came with a caravan and had to go to the reception, 180 degree turn, back onto the road and back the way I came to get to the pitch. Could we maybe get our pitch number in advance or check in online?

Not criticisms but good to know:

Larger site with the reception block gets noisy with the hits of Taylor Swift belted out when we visited but plenty of quieter coves when you explored the woodland paths. Paths were slippy and muddy as you would expect in Scotland but good to be aware.

We needed our 25m electric hookup cable

Local attractions

Starting locally, Killin Castle (five minutes' drive) is definitely a landmark to explore. While here, wander down past the pretty waters at the Falls of Dochart (five minutes) and keep an eye out for wildlife. Killin Golf Club (also five minutes) is a well-liked course with nine scenic landscaped holes to try, while just a little further away at Ben Lawers Dam (10 minutes) you can get a close-up view of one of Scotland's highest Munros. After exploring Loch Tay and the local area, it's a short enough drive to Loch Tay (20 minutes), where plenty of watersports and hiking trails are on offer. The village of Aberfoyle (an hour away) is very popular with off-road cyclists who appreciate its miles of well-maintained gravel tracks, and there's also a forest park with Go Ape, a visitor centre and a hide where beady-eyed visitors may spot red squirrels among the trees. For more heritage sights, try Castle Menzies (30 minutes), an imposing 16th-century clan seat, or Stirling Castle (an hour and 10 minutes), one of the most important and impressive historic buildings in Scotland.
