  • 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

Spacious, well-kept site with friendly staff & good facilities, incl. play area & campers' bothy. Great for Kinross/Loch Leven. Clean & good value, but showers dated/paid. M90 proximity means some traffic noise.

Joseph T.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Very well kept plots and the warden, Alan, was really lovely and very helpful. Others at the site were respectful of each other and there was no loud music late into the night. Really good proximity to the motorway and Loch Leven. I was here commuting to Edinburgh and it was about an hour each way using the park and ride. Great facilities in that there is an iron, washer dryer and microwave available.

Disliked Unfortunately the toilet block was outdated and unhygienic. The men's showers had a fair bit of black mould. (My partner says the women's were a bit better). Showers were £1 for about 6/7 minutes which felt really stingey and was rarely enough time to feel truly clean. Also, the gate was often closed and locked earlier than the time on the sign, meaning I got caught out a few times.

Liked Lovely site, great facilities. Shower and toilets were great. Little park to entertain the little ones right next to the pitches and WiFi which was good signal.

Disliked Around the toilet block didn’t smell great not sure if it was the chemical waste and the drains and £1 for only 6 minutes in the shower

Liked We stayed here for 5 nights. Small site but clean facilities. Pitches flat and hook ups close to pitch. Decent little park and lots of space for football and frisbee and tennis. Hosts friendly and delivered Amazon packages to our pitch. Site short drive from shops and restaurants and cafes and close to loch for walking and bike rides from the site. Great price and excellent value.

Liked This site was a bit of a surprise for us (in a good way!). The staff/owners are all friendly and helpful. The site has a lovely laid back, calm feel to it. It has a slightly retro feel of caravanning and camping as it used to be (I mean that in a positive way). The toilet/shower blocks are kept very clean and tidy which is incredibly important to us and the water was very hot for washing etc. There's a small playpark for kids with swings and a sandpit and the kids all seemed to be really enjoying themselves there. Families were gathering for their summer meetups and the large grassy areas were ideal for the family ball and raquet games going on around us. It's an authentic and honest site and we will definitely be back.

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).
