Family-run park near the western end of Loch Tay
Loch Earn and Loch Lomond within an hour's drive
Laundry room on site; dogs welcome

Set in quiet countryside near the western end of Loch Tay and around an hour's drive from Loch Lomond, Cruachan Farm Caravan and Camping Park is a family-run site in a great position for sightseeing around the southern Highlands and central Scotland. Whatever kind of accommodation you opt for, you'll have access to a smart and spacious park with well-maintained amenities like a toilet and shower block and a laundry room. The site is well under a mile from the banks of Loch Tay and close to lots of other outdoor attractions: watersports, birdwatching and tracking down ancient burial sites are all popular pastimes you can get up to in the local area. It's also a 15 minutes' walk from Loch Tay Highland Lodges, where guests are welcome to use the facilities. Cruachan Farm Caravan and Camping Park is a five-minute drive to the east of Killin, a scenic spot with a castle, pubs, a supermarket and waterside walks around the gorgeous Falls of Dochart.

Bridge from toilet block to camping area

The access to the loch not far from the campsite.

Bottom of the shower curtain was dirty at the bottom and sits in the water in the shower tray

Unpowered grass tent site (five person)

Liked: Very nice big campsite, very dog-friendly, would definitely go again. Particularly nice to be able to access the facilities of the neighbouring Loch Tay Highland Lodges.

Disliked: Ideally there'd be a better-quality path or road linking the campsite with the Lodges, instead of the track which gets muddy after wet weather. Someone should take the COVID signs down too :-)

From the manager: Hi Tim. Thank you for your great review. We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay @ Cruachan Farm and hope we can welcome you again in the future. We will have a look for those signs! Many thanks!

David S. Sept 2024

Unpowered grass tent site (five person)

Liked: We enjoyed our stay Cruachan Camping Park. The park itself is situated in a beautiful location near the banks of Loch Tay. There's a nice short walk down to the banks of the loch if you so wish. The nearest village Killin is only about 3.5 mile away with a small supermarket and some nice pubs/ restaurants. The camping area is on gentle hill slopes but there are some good flat bits. Be wary not to camp in the dips as these are prone to flooding if the weather is bad. The wash/ toilet facilities were kept clean and well stocked and all the staff we met were friendly and helpful.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked: Friendly staff. Quiet site. Laundry is cheap and showers are hot. The cafe does a great breakfast bap.

Disliked: Site is very dated. You have to check in at the sister site, but no warning of that until you actually arrive.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Amy, Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the facilities at Cruachan Farm. We have recently taken over the site and upgrades will be looked at at the end of the season. I would say I think our prices reflect what we offer at the moment. We do mention in our confirmations and pre arrival emails where you would check in. Apologies if you missed this.

Lovely and quiet. Good condition despite the wet weather. Nice cafe. Friendly…

Liked: Location great, staff very helpful and friendly.

Disliked: Hardly any flat ground. Quite boggy in places. Toilet/shower block is skanky, really needs torn down and rebuilt.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi There, Thank you for your review. Our site is not all flat but do have flat areas for people to camp. Unfortunately the excessive wet weather we have been having has made the ground rather water logged. We have recently taken over the site. The amenities blocks will be addressed soon. We do hope to see you again.

Local attractions

Starting locally, Killin Castle (five minutes' drive) is definitely a landmark to explore. While here, wander down past the pretty waters at the Falls of Dochart (five minutes) and keep an eye out for wildlife. Killin Golf Club (also five minutes) is a well-liked course with nine scenic landscaped holes to try, while just a little further away at Ben Lawers Dam (10 minutes) you can get a close-up view of one of Scotland's highest Munros. After exploring Loch Tay and the local area, it's a short enough drive to Loch Tay (20 minutes), where plenty of watersports and hiking trails are on offer. The village of Aberfoyle (an hour away) is very popular with off-road cyclists who appreciate its miles of well-maintained gravel tracks, and there's also a forest park with Go Ape, a visitor centre and a hide where beady-eyed visitors may spot red squirrels among the trees. For more heritage sights, try Castle Menzies (30 minutes), an imposing 16th-century clan seat, or Stirling Castle (an hour and 10 minutes), one of the most important and impressive historic buildings in Scotland.
