  • Family-run park near the western end of Loch Tay
  • Loch Earn and Loch Lomond within an hour's drive
  • Laundry room, play area and picnic tables; dogs welcome
Set in quiet countryside near the western end of Loch Tay and five minutes' drive from the edge of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park – and around 50 minutes from Loch Lomond itself – 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, a laundry room, a kids' play area and picnic benches. The site is well under a mile from the banks of Loch Tay and close to lots of other outdoor attractions: clay pigeon shooting, tennis, 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.

Electric grass tent pitch (five person)

Liked: Amazing location, easy to access and very friendly staff on site. The camping has clear rules but is also quite flexible and accommodating. Clean toilets and showers Clean and easily accessible utility room from tent pitches.

Disliked: Hard to get hot water under control in the showers so unable to clean up. You need plug adapter on the electric tent pitches.

Camping pod (two person)

Liked: Great amenities at the main site next door. Due to the weather we were moved to a safer spot on the main site by helpful staff, so we didn't actually see Cruachan Farm itself.

Disliked: Not a great deal of atmosphere in The Boathouse bar.

From the manager: Hi There, Thank you for your great review! I'm glad we were able to move you to our sister park @ Loch Tay for more comfort during the bad weather. Hopefully we can welcome you back on another occasion so you can experience what Cruachan has to offer. At that time of year the boathouse is quieter so may have not been the atmosphere Hope to see you again!

2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: Sehr guter Informationsfluss und Organisation vor Ort. Alles lief vorbildlich und wie erwartet! Prima!

Disliked: Ein wenig mehr Ausstattung zum Säubern wäre gut. So hatten wir z.B. keinen Staubsauger und konnten den im Caravan liegenden Teppich nur notdürftig abkehren. Das warme Wasser (speziell für die Dusche) ist so schlecht eingestellt, dass man sich nur mit Mühe den Schaum abwaschen kann. Das müsste auch verbessert werden!

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.
