This is a basic campsite, almost wild camping. That's not a criticism because it's what we wanted and exactly as advertised. The site is essentially a level, well kept field with a 'forestry road' type of track for vehicles.
Just pitch up (no booking) and the warden will come round in the evening and take payment in cash.
The toilet block is basic but functional and very clean. There are no showers or hot water. The block had been upgraded since our last visit to include cubicles where you can have what I would call a 'proper wash' behind the privacy of a locked door. It may sound a bit spartan but it really is fine. Again, I have to say that it is advertised accordingly.
The village of Kinloch Rannoch is only 3 miles (ish)away and has a shop and off licence where you can get most of the essentials. Thgere are a couple of hotels where you can have a meal. There is no filling station - there used to be but it's closed. The nearest fuel is the town of Pitlochry which is about 16 miles away.
The surrounding area is great for walking. The local mountain called Schihallion is a great day out and there are also many more sedate walks marked out by the camp site.
I like this place and return annually. I suspect because it is so basic that it does not attract the party animal, so I am confident that I can completely relax in an place shared by like minded people. I am not against the louder, party type environment but this place is not one of them.
If this is your cup of tea then I highly recommend it.

We spent 2 nights on the site in glorious, if extremely cold weather. As it says in the description this is a no frills site, however as such it excels. The toilet and washing area was always spotless and supplied with toilet paper and paper towels.
The site covers a large area and is broken up with small clumps of trees/bushes which serve to give a degree of privacy. There are picnic tables dotted about the site and these have a metal plate attached to allow disposable BBQs to be used, a very nice touch.
The warden was very diligent and always had time for a chat and willing to take time to give information when asked.
There are many lovely walks which can be accessed from the site, these vary from quite short to long.
We were only in the local shop once but it appears to be well stocked.
I can imagine the site would suffer badly from midges during the summer months, however we did not encounter any on our stay. We are already planning another visit to the site for next year.

The park is lovely and big, warden very friendly, and facilities good. The scenery to the park is very beautiful which is helpful if you are a passenger as the road is very windy which made the 25mile(ish) when you leave the A9 over an hour to get there. With some hairpin bends so you need to take your time.
Visited for 2 nights with our caravan and friends had their tent, was able to pitch together which was really handy.
There is no park for the kids but we knew that but they were not bored and there was plenty of things for them to explore, if we went back we would take the bikes though.
Definitely suggest taking some mosquito repellent and those nets for your head, as they are every where so can dampen you experience.
Take a BBQ to keep the midges away
Be aware there are no lights on the site or toilet block and its cold water however for £6 a night its fantastic value.

Just returned from our first visit to the campsite, could only manage one night away and it was great. Plenty of room, three families with six man tents and three cars. The site was clean and tidy, toilets and wash areas very clean although a shower or two would be good idea,and not to noisy at night. One of the children had a wee accident which required a visit to the Medical centre in Pitlochry, the warden was very helpful indeed with directions. The kids had a ball swimming in the river sliding down the rocks into the water! Pity it was only for the one night, will definitely be returning to this campsite again. Like wild camping but having the luxury of toilets and washing areas. Scenery amazing. Although no play equipment for the children.Its good for them to use their imagination sometimes and they did! Thank you and hoping for good weather next weekend!

Beautiful, peaceful, large site. You choose your own pitch either in the open or in amongst the woods. Only one block of toilets so depending where you pitch you may have a walk around the site a few times a day to use them but there are plenty pitches close to them. They don't have any electricity and only cold water but are clean and always plenty toilet roll.
Lovely walks around the site and a lovely atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning here.

It is a wonderful campsite. Facilities are simple (wooden huts with loos and wash basins) but clean. The site is large but broken up by trees.
We walked in the woods and spent ages watching wood ants building their nests. We swam in a pool in the river that runs down the side of the site. We didn't explore much further afield but will be back.
Midges were just coming out (the winter has been cold). Be prepared for midges and ticks - this is their ideal habitat.
The nights we were there the site had a lovely atmosphere probably caused by a combination of lack of electricity and a no fires rule. I guess this rules out two types of campers but rules in the many who want a quiet time.
Why can't more site be like this?
