What customers say

Fernlea Campsite & Pod provides a friendly welcome and a peaceful, tidy setting. Reviewers praise the accommodating hosts and RV-friendly layout. Facilities are generally spotless, though some note basic chemical waste disposal. It's a quiet spot with decent access to nearby towns, but the entrance and pitch space can be tight. Fruit flies were an issue for some.

Anthony R.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite (members only)

Liked We stayed for one night on New Year’s Eve at Fernlea Campsite & Pod, just along the road from Errol on the beautiful Firth of Tay, and could not have asked for a warmer welcome. On arrival, we found the owner and his daughter busy preparing everything for the pod guests, which immediately set the tone for our stay.

Nothing was too much trouble. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleased to have us there, creating a sense of hospitality that is sadly rare and deeply appreciated. The site itself is peaceful, well kept, and feels carefully cared for, with a calm, tucked away atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and switch off.

It was the perfect place to spend New Year’s Eve: quiet, welcoming, and full of simple charm. We left feeling rested and grateful, and we would not hesitate to return or recommend Fernlea to others looking for a comfortable, friendly, and thoughtfully run campsite.

A small place with a big heart.

Disliked Nothing to dislike, well set out, welcoming and everything needed.

Liked Quiet location, level pitches and very friendly host. Only a mile walk into Errol where there were two well equipped shops and a small welcoming pub. Worth noting that the pub only does food on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and serve only for a limited time.
Lovely bike ride into Dundee along the cycle route.

Disliked Not a dislike as such, but it is next to a grain store so need to be aware of grain trucks coming and going.
The chemical waste disposal is very basic.

Local attractions

Part of the joy of staying here simply comes from slowly meandering along local pathways on foot or by bike while taking in the smashing scenery. Cyclists may like to follow the country roads up into the Sidlaw Hills while walkers and birdwatchers head to the path through the reed beds alongside the River Tay. Poking around in the antiques centres in Rait (five minutes' drive) and Abernyte (10 minutes) is another nice way to have a relaxed outing, as is a wander through Glendoick Gardens (10 minutes). Across the Tay, you could explore the ruins of Lindores Abbey (half an hour) before visiting its distillery. For city life, pay a visit to Perth (20 minutes) for Scone Palace, The Black Watch Castle & Museum and a thriving cultural scene centred around its art gallery, concert hall and various museums. Dundee (25 minutes) is also well worth a trip – the V&A Dundee and Dundee Science Centre are highlights but the city has plenty of arts and heritage attractions to choose from.
