  • 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 friendly, well-kept site has spacious pitches & a peaceful rural feel. Staff, especially Alan, are praised for helpfulness. Close to M90/Kinross. Has a play area & dog walk. Showers/toilets are a bit dated & cost extra, but many want to return.

Powered cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Everything was lovely

Disliked The only thing that was wrong was the small from the mobile toilet disposal system it was rather strong perhaps the system could do with a water flush to rinse away waste from the system and also the fact that you have to pay £1 for 6 minites in the shower rather charge an extra few pou ds to cover shower costs

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Toilets were clean, staff were really friendly and gave us lots of information about the area, they even recommended some takeaways that delivered to the campsite. There was a bothy with plugs available so we could charge our phones, it also had a microwave and kettle, and was stocked with books and board games - perfect if it's rainy! The location was ideal for us as we were getting the bus and walking. Excellent value for money!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The welcome at reception and by Alan who showed us our pitch was lovely. Surrounded by nature so could hear cows/sheep in neighbouring fields. Close to the motor way. Small park for the kids. Toilet block has homey touches.

Disliked Park could maybe have a few more things to play on for the kids, however reception said they did have this planned for the future.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Good size pitches, nice area for tents, close to water taps, quiet site, able to see everything from our pitch. Friendly hosts, informed us about take away delivery and said that they would be able to sort any cash out for us if needed.

Disliked Shower block unloved, had to pay for shower £1=6mins could have done with being modernised. Clothes washing facilities always in use by those that live on site, could have done with a 2nd unit.

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).
