  • 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 lovely, neat campsite with great staff. Reviewers love the clean facilities, river and forest spots, and big pitches. Super dog-friendly with brilliant walks. The shop and coffee van are a hit. Mostly tranquil, though some found pitches tight and had a bit of noise. Most want to come back!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked great location. quiet. well-organised pitches. shop and food on site. showers are great.

Disliked it would be nice if there was some washing up liquid and a couple of sponges available at the sink area. other campsites have this and it really helps. also a few picnic benches near the pitches would be great to have (and wifi, if it was available in the area)

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great site. Toilets clean, showers hot, place to wash dishes, freezer. Had a pitch next to the river which was nice, would've been happy with any of the other pitches around.

Nice staff on site.

Meadow electric grass pitch

Liked Quiet place, well kept, clean toilets, easy to find and with a nice tiny coffee shop on site, too! Convenient location for a day trip to Stirling/Edinburgh/Glasgow, and the natural parks areas including Loch Lomond. WiFi would be a nice addition, but the lack of it is a good excuse to disconnect and recharge!

Julieann T.

Meadow electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked Clean campsite with good facilities and a lovely location. Pitch was nice and flat for the tent, plenty to do round about.

Disliked The one car next to the pitch is a bit unnecessary, we paid the extra £10 and both cars were on the gravel next to our tent, not imposing on anyone so being asked to move it seemed a bit pointless. Also advertised as no campfires
But everyone had camp fires and when I asked at reception I was told they were allowed, so this should be updated.
