  • 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.

What customers say

A lovely, well-kept spot by the river and woods. Guests rave about friendly staff, spotless facilities, and a great location for walks/bikes. Handy shop & food vans too. Pitches are private and level. Mostly great, with a few minor points; people want to come back!

Mark H.

Powered concrete slab site (woodland)

Liked Lovely site with great welcome by the staff at reception who explained the site layout, times and amenities perfectly.

Disliked The only negative was it was close to the river (which is a huge benefit) but it flooded and made negotiating the site difficult however this did not massively detract from our stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A brilliant site with outstanding facilities.

Tom M.

Meadow powered grass and gravel site

Liked This campsite is amazing. It is well laid out, spectacular scenery, quiet location and the facilities were exceptionally clean. Pitches are large and flat, serviced with electric hook up points. There is pot washing facilities, a laundry, a well stocked shop for a campsite. They have their own coffee shop serving good coffee and at weekends there was a pizza van there making stonebaked pizza to order. There are some really good walks right on your doorstep and Aberfoyle is a five minute drive away. Pet friendly. Just a really relaxing stay. Can't wait to go back.

Disliked Being really picky here, but the timer on the shower is a bit short so have to keep pushing the button, however the showers were powerfull and hot, so like I said, this is being picky to fill the box.
