  • Peaceful park next to the River Forth, two miles from Aberfoyle
  • In Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, a half-hour drive from Stirling
  • Well-kept pitches with direct access to Loch Ard Forest; dogs welcome
If you’re setting off for Stirlingshire with your eye on finding lots of alfresco activities, you should certainly consider Cobleland Campsite as a base. A couple of miles south of Aberfoyle, this peaceful park is in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, just on the edge of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. That setting means miles and miles of walking and cycling trails stretch out through the surrounding area, with fishing and golf close by too – and watersports, treetop trails, cliff jumping and the like for more intrepid guests. And in fact you don't have to travel far to get started on soaking up the spectacular scenery – you can simply stick around on site, where oak trees tower over the pitches and there’s a backdrop of pretty forest views with the River Forth running along one side of the site. Just beyond the river are paths taking you straight out into Loch Ard Forest for a woodland wander or a dog walk if you’ve brought your pet with you. The pitches at Cobleland are well tended and spacious, with access to all the essential amenities including a launderette, a washing-up area and chemical disposal as well as bathrooms with toilets, showers and disabled facilities. Aberfoyle (five minutes’ drive) has a small supermarket for supplies, plus several places to eat and drink.

Meadow powered grass caravan site

Liked: Friendly staff, very willing to help. We booked wrong type of pitch (hardstanding), this was not a problem for the owner. Very quickly sorted us out with tent pitch on grass even though camp site was very busy. Good facilities and showers. Site very clean and tidy.

Disliked: Nothing.

Meadow powered grass and gravel site

Liked: The site was very pleasant and clean. The toilets and showers were in excellent condition. The little on site shop had most of the things you might need on a daily basis Lovely location by the river with lots of amenities not too far away. The coffee shop on site served a great breakfast roll.

Disliked: Some of the pitches outside the meadows are a bit tight so could be hard for larger motorhomes to get into.
