We're taking our caravan up to Scotland for my sister and her family to say in for a week in summer.  We have friends in Callander and would like to stay with them - unfortunately they're away at the moment, so we can't ask them for site recommendations.  Any suggestions for a family friendly site (children aged 10 and 7) in that area of Scotland - decent loo and shower block is a must - and walking/cycling nearby, but nothing else is particularly essential.

Many thanks.

You can not go wrong with the Gart site in Callender. Good for adults and kids plus the shower block is A1..

To be honest I haven't stayed there but have friends who have a seasonal pitch and we have visited quite often over the last couple of years. I have always found the staff to be friendly and the facilities clean.

Its a pity theres only one review as you are only getting one persons opinion and everybodys idea of a good site differs.

Hi Val.....I believe that Blair Drummond has had a change of ownership recently and is OK for Stirling, but The Gart is a far superior site (Site of the year award a couple of years back) and is right at the start of Callander and the one for you if you want to be close.

Thanks everyone for your advice - she's now booked at the Gart site (which we found is just off the road on which our friends live, so very convenient) for two weeks in July/August.  We're all looking forward to it now!!
