  • Small, well-maintained touring site in the Ochil hills
  • Stirling Castle and The Kelpies within a half-hour drive
  • Stopover point for North Coast 500 and Heart 200 routes
Want to cram in several different Scottish experiences all from one location? Highland Gateway Glamping and Caravanning is in a strategic Clackmannanshire spot between Clackmannan and Kincardine (about five minutes’ drive from both) and within easy reach of all sorts of things to do and places to go. Glasgow, Stirling and the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park can all be on your schedule during a stay here: all are within a 40-minute drive. The centre of Edinburgh, meanwhile, can be reached in less than an hour. Golfers have a choice of three courses to play on nearby, plus the option of Gleneagles (40 minutes away). There are also loads of great options around for walking and cycling: it’s a 20-minute walk or five-minute bike ride to the start of the Fife Coastal Path, and the National Cycle Network route 76 passes just by the site’s driveway. You can also head out into the Ochil hills, just around the park, for a walk or a day of cycling – although there are some great views on site too for those who fancy taking in the scenery over a barbecue instead. All-weather pitches here are fully serviced and have access to a picnic area, a black water and grey water disposal point, heated toilet and shower facilities and a washing-up point. If you’re planning a longer tour of Scotland, it may be handy to know that this site is well located for the Heart 200 route and the North Coast 500.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (XL)

Liked: Great small and quiet site this. Spotlessly clean and ideal for a stop to the Highlands as the name suggests. Use Google maps rather than Satnav from Kincardine - No problem at all with a 9m motorhome on spacious level pitches.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review and glad you liked our little campsite. The grass that separate the XL pitches are a required fire break and are not part of the pitches. There is a picnic area and leisure area both with grass and seating provided if required.

Liked: A very welcoming stay, Lynn is a great host to her farm. Pre-arrival information made easy and very clear directions. Lynn greeted us to ensure everything was okay. Small ablution block was clean, warm and hot water for that much needed shower. Great for an overnight stop to the Highlands. Very peaceful and calm. Would highly recommend.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (XL)

Liked: Smallish campsite in a quiet location. Good sized pitches with plenty of space between them. Heated cabins for the toilet and showers that were very clean. Friendly and helpful owners. There's a track that runs past the campsite that you can dog walk along. There's other walks and sites near by, also just a short drive to Stirling. Handy stop over point for our journey up to the Cairngorms.

Local attractions

Your main issue around here (and it’s a good problem to have…) will be deciding what to do first. Perhaps it’ll be a trip to Glasgow (35 minutes’ drive) to stroll through the West End, visit Glasgow Science Centre or admire the artwork at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum? Or maybe city life on a slightly smaller scale in Stirling (25 minutes), where you can visit the castle and National Wallace Monument? Sticking to the open air you may like to view the huge outdoor artwork known as The Kelpies (20 minutes) or marvel at the Falkirk Wheel (25 minutes), Scotland’s only rotating boat lift. There’s also the option of a good walk or bike ride in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park (40 minutes) or following in the footsteps of the world’s best golfers at Gleneagles (40 minutes). Want to view some animals while you’re out and about? Stop by at Briarlands Farm for a family-friendly farm day, or seek out something more exotic at Blair Drummond Safari and Adventure Park; both are about half an hour away.
