 Forfar Lochside is a lovely location. Very easy to get to off A90 with pleasant surroundings, beautifully kept shower block and friendly wardens.
You can access the park and walk around the loch which is a flat easy walk of about 4KM with views of the loch and surrounds.
Shops are a 10 minute walk as is the town centre.
One word of warning here, the town centre is pretty dead in the evenings and we came across what must be the only two Wetherspoons that close their kitchens at lunchtime every day!
Forfar may not be the place for nightime entertainment but the place is very nice and the CAMC Site is immaculate.

Been to this site a few times.
Great location with the Loch and park right beside it and the town just a few minutes stroll away.
Toilets and showers are immaculate as well.

Very well kept site with immaculate facilities. New fully serviced pitches at the fence by the Loch were spacious and well located. We were the first van to use them.
Wardens out constantly looking after the grass or littler picking. Almost obsessed. Good location for exploring the area and lots of food shops etc but no reason to spend much time in Forfar.
We found the loch perimeter walk dull.
The beaches at Montrose or the fish shack and chippy on the harbour at Montrose are worth a visit. Also good to drive to the nearby hills and find a walk.
Spaces between pitches seems to be generous for most pitches.
CAMC seems to be getting more expensive we were out of season and if we were slightly later ie April we would have stayed at a cl or cs or private site for better value as we don’t need shower facilities. These were not yet open at the time of our stay.

A really attractive and well kept site beside a lovely 2. 5 mile lochside walk.
We had a very nice grass pitch and WiFi was great.
The children’s playground was not a problem.
Forfar is not a particularly interesting place but we loved visiting Glamis castle.
Helpful warden Kris.

We had a great overnight stay. Kris and Phil do an amazing job and were very helpful.
The site is not only very clean and organised, it is close to local amenities with plenty to do and see.
I’ll definitely return at some point this year for a longer stay.

Lovely clean site. Showers and toilets very accessible from camping area. Mother and toddler bathroom with small bath. Laundry spotless. Water and waste located all over park. Nice grass area for tents. They do not allow over 5x5m so some of these larger tents aren’t permitted.
Nothing actually on site for kids. The Playpark through secure gate off site. Fab walk round the loch too.
Walk to town easy done. 15 mins from fabulous chip shop. Lots of eateries. The mill recommended (3miles out).
9 miles from Monikie park, bike hire, canoeing, sailing & adventure park.
12 miles Arbroath with Mini rail way, fab kids playground, lovely walks at the harbour.
Kirriemuir may also be a place of interest. When Camping Your car is to be parked out front of the reception not allowed in campsite so if you rely on car for charging items etc invest in EHU connection to come here.

To Find Site:- From A90 take A94 into Forfar. After about a mile, at traffic lights, turn left. The entrance to the Country Park is about 90 metres on the left but is not that obvious!
There are signs including a small caravan sign. Probably the best indicator is a sign opposite the entrance that signs to a car park with a caravan symbol to the right but it is here you turn left and make your way down to the campsite.
Forfar Lochside is a nice campsite on the edge of the Angus county town of Forfar, it also adjoins the Forfar Country Park. The site is open from early March to early November and non-members are accepted.
There are 63 pitches, all but 12 are on hardstandings, 8 of the hardstandings are serviced pitches. In the centre of the site is a large grass area which can be used for tents. Electric points are convenient to all pitches and use CEE17 blue connectors and are rated at 16 amps. The electric bollards have a co-ax TV connectors.
These are free to use but you must provide your own cable. There are a couple of service points for water and waste water.
The motorhome service point is at the site entrance and has open grills and can probably take two motorhomes at a time. The central facility block contains the reception as well as the toilet block which is of an excellent standard.
There is also an enclosed washing up area and a laundry. There is site wide WiFi and the 4G signal is good. There is not much on site for children but there is a gate directly into a large playground in the adjacent park. Reception sells a few caravan accessories and ice cream and newspapers can be ordered.
This campsite is quite a good touring base for the coast and Perth and Dundee, the latter having the recently opened V&A Dundee. Glamis castle is only a few miles away. There are bus connections from Forfar to Dundee and Brechin, not far from the site.
For shopping there is an Aldi supermarket only a few minutes’ walk from the site but there other supermarkets nearby. Next to the site is the Lochside Country Park which is a nice open space for walking, particularly with dogs.
The circuit around the Loch is 5kms.

Needed somewhere to stay while visiting an elderly relative and also needed to take campervan out for its first trip of the season! I normally opt for CLs but this site is in a very convenient location and looked nice. And it is.
Amazingly good value (£26 for 2 nights with hook up) brilliant level hardstanding spacious pitches, spotless facilities (and plenty of them), hairdryer, very good showers with plenty of hooks and space, plenty of bins, taps and waste disposal points, plus very friendly wardens.
And just a 5 - 10 minute walk into Forfar to get bus to wherever. I have seen one or two reviewers who weren't keen as it has a "municipal" feel. I do understand what they mean but for me it was actually quite reminiscent of some of the great municipal sites there are in France, in that is quiet but also quite conveniently urban!

An immaculately kept site within easy walking distance of the town and shops. Even in late September, the site was very busy - mainly with motorhomes and campervans. It is, however, not a place I would choose as a destination in itself. I have never thought of the site as a place to relax and the centre of Forfar has a very run down air about it. To compensate, there are several good supermarkets and independent shops - treat yourself to a 'Forfar Bridie' for lunch.
We chose to stay at Forfar because of its easy bus links to Dundee. These run every 30 mins from outside the police station, a few minutes walk from the site.
Generally, a good base for exploring the area, rather than a place to stay.
