  • Fish for salmon and trout on a private stretch of the river
  • Heated amenities block with free hot showers
Might you want a stay in a riverbank location in pretty Perthshire, with striking mountain views and a scenic section of bank from which to cast off for salmon and trout? Go on, you’ve Earned it. Find this – and a fair bit more – at Braidhaugh Holiday Park on the banks of the River Earn, 10 minutes’ walk from Perthshire’s market town of Crieff and listed as a spectacular scenery site for its mountain and river views. You can pick up a permit at reception to fish on Braidhaugh’s own part of the Earn, or use the park as a base for touring Perthshire and other top Scottish sites. Gentle canters on horseback or foot are nearby too: walks of all levels are all around the Crieff area and horse riding is available at Braidhaugh’s sister site in the area, Loch Tay Highland Lodges. Facilities on site include a heated and clean amenities block with free power showers, toilets, a wash area, shaver points and hairdryers. Facilities for disabled guests are in the main shower block. Clothes can be washed, dried and pristinely pressed in the launderette (get the other half to do it, you’re on holiday), and the games room with table football, dartboard, air hockey and TV should keep the kids occupied on rainy days. Top up essentials and toiletries at the onsite shop, or head into Crieff for more substantial supplies, restaurants, pubs and hotels.

Gillian O. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (hot tub)

Liked: We stayed on a fully serviced pitch with a wood burning hot tub. We liked that the park was quiet and we enjoyed access to the hot tub during out stay. We used the shower facilities and they were very clean and tidy. We ended up staying an extra night and the reception staff were very helpful in arranging this for us. We liked that the check in time was 1pm, as some places are later than this and the park was dog friendly.

Disliked: The wi-fi signal isn't great on the park. It would have been good to have a hairdryer in the shower area and the on-site shop didn't stay open past 5pm. Check-out time was 11am, which was fine, however 12 noon would be better and allows for an hour turnaround.

Camping pod (hot tub, ensuite)

Making priceless memories with our children.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: The site is beautiful. We stayed on a fully serviced touring site opposite some pitches with hot tubs. The range of camping pods and cabins was extraordinary. The wash rooms felt new and clean. Walking distance from the town.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

Ah, Perthshire…you could spend weeks here and still have to go back for more. More fishing, great golfing, red squirrels, country parks and historical highlights including Scotland’s oldest library and Iron Age hill forts – all here, along with the essentials of whisky trailing and big city shopping. Nearby Crieff was a wild-west style cattle rustling town in times of yore; it’s tamer these days but thrillseekers can check out the Crieff Hydro Outdoor Activity Centre to whirl around an aerial adventure course on tightropes, ziplines and cargo nets, or get sporty at some of the dozens of indoor and outdoor pursuits here including golf, riding, swimming and football. The centre has a reputation for being particularly sprog-friendly, as does the popular MacRosty Park: there’s a good-sized children’s playground here for all ages, beside a café for tired parents. From MacRosty, set off along the River Earn to see the trees on Lady Mary’s Walk, one of Perthshire’s most popular strolls for its wealth of wildlife and autumnal blaze. Another top tree-based walk – Perthshire is known as Big Tree Country, after all – is around the oldest managed forest in Scotland, Craigvinean, or the Atholl Estate and its wild tree garden, with possibly the biggest Douglas fir you’ll ever see.
