Campsite next to Scone Palace and Perth Race Course. Make a visit to Scone Palace amazing history. Nice walks and walks for the dogs along the side of the race track to the river.
The site is a nice site but it suffers very badly in certain areas of water logging although the main parts are coned off but if it rains there are some parts of ground where the water runs.
Toilets / laundry / dish washing facilities are very clean and was impressed with the shower cubicles very spacious, again as other camping and caravanning sites go there is no alternative toilets to use when these are getting cleaned 10:30 - 12:30.
Shop on site not too bad although certain item you need to order the day/week before. £10 deposit for baby changing area. Children area again like basic camping and caravanning sites was a log pyramid with shute and swings.
All in all has the potential to be a good site if the drainage problem was solved, main facility area nice and staff helpful enough.

We had a really nice weekend here with another family and we had a great time. Its a well run park in a lovely part of the world - certainly worth a visit.
The wardens were very friendly and made the whole process of checking and locating a pitch very easy. We were there with friends and they had no problem with putting us on adjacent pitches.
The toilets and washing up facilities were immaculate so there were no issues there.
If you get a chance take the path down to the Tay - it takes about 20 minutes and is a gentle stroll. There will probably be a few fly fishers on the bank but there will still be plenty of space for a paddle.
I agree with a couple of the other reviewers - some of the pitches are very wet and boggy. They also had an area cordoned off as it was so muddy. However my friend's 4yr old son didn't respect the tape and managed to get stuck in the mud - entertaining all the other children in the process.
Also, look out for those black rabbits!

Just back today from Scone, having spent 3 nights with a touring caravan.
The plus points are for this site:
Location, 2 miles outside the lovely city of Perth, 20 miles from Dundee and the route up north from this location is fantastic. Site directly next door to Perth race course and the grounds of Scone Palace, and so there is numerous walks from the site for the dog, which includes walking on the banks of the River Tay.
Toilets immaculate with large sized cubicles for the showers.
Staff as ever helpful.
Minus points
The pitches were water logged. We had a hard standing pitch however I felt so sorry for those that did not. This site has always had a reputation for being on the boggy side and with the recent rain it was poor.
The only other issue was that there was a meeting for some club in the grounds of the race course and they were camping on the race course however were using the Camping and Caravan club toilets and showers. They walked straight through the entrance gates in their droves, making the members who paid 20 pound plus a night plus for the privilege of the facilities to wait in a queue.
Not good!

Enjoyed 3 days at Scone and I admit I like the site a lot, being in the van I got a gravel hardstanding pitch with 16 amp ehu, was able to drive straight onto pitch so no reversing or shoving required, tents and vans are all mixed in so no feelings of them and us.
The staff are very friendly and helpful, toilet block is quite big and spotless, showers lovely and hot. Too old for kids playpark and don't have a dog so couldn't comment on that. On site shop okay for essentials and there is a tesco express in scone village about a mile away as well as the supermarkets of perth.
Location wise very good with easy motorway access, plenty to do in the local area. Will certainly be back especially now I have joined the c&cc

O.K. Some of the trees are down but it is not as dramatic as some would have you think. Site is still getting work done and a few areas taped off whilst grass is becoming established. So that is the one and only down side at this great site.
Toilet block new and kept clean with nice powerful showers which you don't need coins for. Which makes life easier! Laundry- fine.
Playpark area fine and roads fine for kids on bikes. However, watch out for dog poo at back river exit! The dog owners fault though!
We stayed at site for 5 nights. Wardens nice and leave you to enjoy your stay unless you approach them. Perfect! Plenty to do in surrounding area to keep you entertained. All in all would definitely recommend!

Easy to follow signs for Scone Palace and the Racecourse. The site has an excellent NEW toilet block which is beautifully maintained and also has good quality gravel roads. The site manager, Darren, was trying to re-seed some bare areas whilst we were there but it didn't detract from a nice stay.
We didn't find out until we left, but the Racecourse Owners and Trainers bar is open to campers for drinks and meals on Fridays and Saturdays. May be worth a visit, unfortunately we missed out.
No shop, but you can order newspapers on a daily basis from Reception. A site to go back to sometime soon.
