  • 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. Dogs are welcome (max of three per booking), and there is enclosed area on site where they can run around off lead. The campsite is next to a right of way that's great for walks – with or without dogs. 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. The pitches are dog-friendly (up to three dogs are permitted). 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.

Liked Big pitches, clean quiet site facilities ok

Disliked Welcome from the owner. The lady who met us was quite angry that we hadn’t read the welcome email correctly and we had put the back legs of our chairs onto the grass. To which we apologised but still had to listen to sarcastic and condescending comments from the lady.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that our interaction came across as angry or sarcastic — that was certainly not my intention. I was aiming for a light-hearted, jokey tone while reminding you about an important safety rule regarding the firebreak area between pitches, as outlined in the email and FAQ attachment you received on the day of arrival.

Fire safety is something we take seriously, to comply with our campsite licence and it's important that we communicate those rules clearly. That said, I appreciate your perspective and that my interaction with yourselves did not land as expected and I will be more mindful of how these messages are delivered in the future. I hope the rest of your stay was enjoyable.

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.
