  • 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 stunning, tranquil spot by the woods and river. Guests rave about the spotless facilities, great pitches, and handy location for walks. The shop and food trucks are a hit. Mostly peaceful, though occasional guest noise was noted. Pitch size varies, so book wisely! Many keen to return.

Powered concrete slab site (woodland)

Liked Lovely place, friendly people and easy to book in.

Disliked Hand dryer in men's toilet was temperamental at best. Wasn't a massive fan of the outdoor dish washing facilities, however both of these were minor gripes and would not dissuade me from returning.

Meadow powered grass and gravel site

Liked Nice site in great location. Lovely walk from site into aberfoyle. Friendly, helpful staff. Decent facilities. Liked the lighting down the centre tree lines...offering a lovely atmosphere.

Disliked The hard standing area at our pitch was quite small and the adjacent grass area was uneven which made parking our car tricky.

Water pipes were frozen in the morning, but to be expected given the really cold temps when we stayed.

This is subjective as there was lots of space when we stayed in January....i think the site could be quite tight and congested with caravans and tents in the summer months.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Definitely will revisit Cobleland. It's handy for us.
