  • 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.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Check-in on arrival was simple. Met by Alan who then explained the site and showed us where we could pitch. Nice and flat ground with plenty of picnic benches around. Toilet/shower block central on the site so less than a minutes walk from most pitches.

Disliked: Require £1 coins for the showers

Liked: Location easy accessible from the motorway. Good communication from staff.

Disliked: Having to pay for a shower. Pitch cost £34per night therefore I feel the showers should be included in the price.

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).
