 Just back from a last minute weekend stay here. Site was busy with loads of kids playing. Staff helpful and toilets/showers very clean. Cracking walks in the area and not enough time to do them all. Will definitely be back to do more later in the year. Cracking site especially for dog walkers. Dog walk straight out of the site and a nice walk of about 1. 5mls into Aberfoyle. That was our first visit here but won't be the last.

Stayed just for one night but had booked for two. Site was really busy although the facilities coped.
Site is in a lovely spot about 45 mins walk from Aberfoyle. The walk to aberfoyle along the river is definitely something to do whilst you are there.
Warm welcome from the owners who gave very clear information on where to pitch. As mentioned the site was very busy due to the warm weather weekend. Pitch was spacious.
Toilets and showers clean with plenty of hot water.
Midges were really problematic from 9pm through to the small hours. Unbearable to be outside or have the doors of the tent open. The setting contributes to this (trees, vegetation and river) combined with time of year and perfect windless weather conditions. If you do visit consider bringing everything you can to keep them at bay because it could spoil your visit.
Would return early Spring or early autumn. The setting is beautiful, the facilities good, and the town of aberfoyle has enough to do in to pass time. Lots of attractions within 30 minutes drive (lochs, safari park, Stirling castle).

We camped with friends on a wet & dreary May weekend. The campsite wasn't full, but there were a few others camping. First impressions - it's a lovely site - neat, tidy & ongoing work to keep it nice & make it better ongoing without taking away from the enjoyment of the site. The staff are very friendly & helpful. There's a small children's play area although our wee one was too small to enjoy it he was drawn to it. The toilets & shower facilities were good - no payment required for a hot shower! Dish washing facilities were good too! The village of Gartmore is a mile away, although it takes a bit to walk there as its all uphill - it's an easy walk back! We would definitely camp there again!

Just got back from our first trip to this wonderful site and we can't wait to go back!
All pitches are clearly marked out, the facilities were spotlessly clean every day and even when the site got busy we still didn't have to queue for showers. We walked every day along a different path (although the river walk is a fave) and all the walks are great for dogs. Weather was lovely all week and we didn't have any problems with midges. Staff were great especially the one who gave us a loan of the fishing equip!)
Highly recommend the walk to Aberfoyle-go along the cycle track which starts just outside the site (over the bridge) it used to be a railway line. Come back to the site along the same track but this time take a right hand turn (at the Rob Roy Hotel) across a field and over a bridge - beautiful views and we got to see Red Kites flying overhead!

We stayed at Cobleland campsite during the horrendously wet weather during July. Despite the abysmal weather we had a fantastic holiday. The campsite is beautiful. We stayed in a tent on the bank of the river which was very swollen, other campers who regularly use the site said they had never seen it so high.
I have to say how impressed we were with the wardens. Despite the fact that everything was so muddy they kept the toilets, showers and laundry area immaculate. They had six showers, nice and clean with plenty of hot water. The only downside with the showers is there isn't a family shower. There are three sinks with draining boards under a shelter for dish washing, again very clean and plenty of hot water.
The best part of the campsite is that it really promotes nature and wildlife for the children. My three had a fantastic time playing in the park and looking at the bug hotel and nest boxes. There are also plenty of walks through the surrounding forest that a clearly marked and easy to follow.
The village of Aberfoyle is 5 minutes away by car or 20 minute walk on the cycle path. There is a co op in Aberfoyle and we also discovered that the Forth Inn in Aberfoyle serves excellent food and allows dogs in the bar area.

Just returned from a 3 night stay and it was great, trip was during the diamond jubilee weekend so site was full. Little disappointed that neighbouring tent was closer to us than should have been (tents should be at least 3 metres apart, this one was about 1. 5 metres away).
Lesley and Graham who manage the site were excellent, showed us to our site and were very friendly.
Lovely walks around the site, midges were a bit of a problem but that not unusual in a lot of areas in Scotland.
Toilet/showers were excellent, always clean and tidy. They could do with a couple of more sinks for washing the dishes as we had to queue a few times.
No trouble with late night noise, site was quiet by 11.
The younger kids had great fun playing in the trees round the site and at the play park on site.
Would definitely return.

Visited this site at the start of the bank holiday for 3 nights. When we arrived we were given a warm welcome by the staff and they were very helpful. We were told that ever pitch was booked so we knew that it was going to get busy.
As we arrived on the Thursday night, it was still relatively quiet and had a choice of pitches. A beautiful spot right beside the river where all the non ehu were. All the ehu pitches are in the middle of the site.
It is a beautiful site, set in stunning woodland. Be prepared for the midges though. They were horrendous on the first night because it was damp and no wind, but the following nights the weather was on our side lovely sunshine and a slight breeze which meant they didn't bother us too much after that.
Showers/toilets were cleaned regularly and were very good.
There is a play park which was well used by the kids on the site, as was the paths around it but I would say that the down side was there was nowhere else for them to play football other than on the road around the pitches or close to the tents, which wasn't great.
Was able to re-freeze ice packs for a charge of 25p each. Bbq's are allowed, but have to use with a stand which you can borrow from the reception for a £5 deposit.
Lots of things to do in the surrounding area. Ideal for bikes and walking. Also a few places within easy reach by car, like Callander, Loch Katrine and the David Marshall Lodge at Aberfoyle.
My only downside was that it felt too busy by the end of the weekend with all pitches taken. We would go back to the site as it was a beautiful place, with great staff but just not on a bank holiday.

What a great site!
We had a great pitch beside the river, which the kids loved. They paddled and messed around with wee nets. The playground was very good too.
We didn't go for EHU, but here were plenty of pitches with hook-up available.
The showers are free (!) and there was plenty hot water. The toilets are clean and well maintained.
Although the site was very busy, we had no problems at night - the staff gave us their number to phone if there was any hassle after 11.
The location is excellent - there are plenty of options for cycling and walking into Gartmore/ Aberfoyle.
Our only slight issue on the site was the lack of space for ball games, but that's not unusual.
Remember to book before you go - I understand it's often busy. You will need to pay when you book, which can be a bit off-puting for the casual visitor.
Overall - very good. We'll definitely be back.

What a great site! Staff are helpful and more importantly, very friendly!
Toilets are spot on, clean and well looked after!
Staff are falling over themselves to be of help!
We had a pitch in our caravan right by the river.
Brilliant for kids as they can play in the river's gravel beds. We lit a fire and fried some sausages! Dog's can run and go in the water just off the site.
The Black Bull in Gartmore had very good food and a good selection of whiskies (shuttle bus available)
Thanks for a great Easter weekend guys

What a little gem Cobleland is. Set over three tiers, the site sits right on the river bank and has a feeling of spaciousness. A large selection of campers on site in tents / caravans / campervans and bigger RV's but still plenty of space.
The on site toilets & showers were spotless and accessed by a unique pass code given to you on arrival. Water points are close to most pitches and electric hook up is 16amps throughout the site. The playground was well put together and seemed to entertain the children on site very well.
There are so many thing's to do in the area we couldn't fit it all into our ten day stay. If using your sat-nav stay well clear of the local village as it is very tight and follow on about an extra mile for a better entrance into the site.
The access road onto the second tier is at the end of the site and whilst we were on this tier, observed several vehicle's ( caravan's / motorhomes alike ) struggle to negotiate the narrow & steep dirt road that feeds this level.
Overall a great stay and would use again if but on the lower levels by the river bank.

First time camping experience!
We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 3yr old son, and a 9yr old daughter), and have just returned from a 3 night break in our Outwell Hartford XXL tent at this site.
We were very apprehensive about camping as we certainly didn't want karaoke, bingo etc on site! This site was just idyllic!
We booked a 'jumbo pitch' as our tent is so large and at booking we were told that there weren't any electrical hook-up pitches left, however when we arrived we were allocated a pitch next to an electrical hook-up source (lesson learned to take our power cables in future!).
Although we were given the impression that we could pitch anywhere, when we arrived we were allocated a pitch opposite the playground (usually where the caravans are sited - possibly because we hade a large tent).
The playpark is adequate for kids - wooden equipment and well maintained - the ranger was even raking the bark underneath while we were there. Being situated opposite the park was fantastic with a toddler through the day as he could play with his sister while we relaxed outside our tent.
One downside was in the evening the older children seemed to congregate there and were quite noisy until about 9/9:30pm when we were trying to get our toddler to sleep. (The whole site has a stipulated quiet at 11pm).
Behind the play park is a small woodland area that the older kids enjoyed playing in too.
The showers: I think there were about 6, plus a disabled one, although I don't think there was a family one. They were individual with a lock on and were clean with lots of hot water (free) and served the purpose. The toilet block was also very clean with plenty of sinks and a hairdryer. There was also a laundry, although we didn't use it.
The pan washing area: outside covered sinks x3 with plenty of very hot water and again very clean.
At the top end (of the lower tear) of the campsite there is a lovely 5 minute walk through woodland to a clearing by the river where there is a picnic bench situated overlooking the river. You can easily step down to a pebbled area beside a shallow area of the river where the kids caught minnows in their buckets and my husband caught a brown trout (approx 1/4 lb in size!).
Children were swimming in there, and others had an infatable canoe. You could happily take chairs/pic-nic blanket and a pic-nic and stay there for hours.
The site office/shop stocked milk, eggs fom the guy who lives over the road, bread rolls and also froze ice packs for a 50p charge. They stock essentials such as matches, tent pegs, batteries, insect repellent (despite being well armed, we didn't have any problems with midges). They provide (for I think it was £2) a treasure hunt map for the kids or a scavenger hunt, and hire out bat hunting equipment for £5.
There are walks a couple of times a week with a local who tells you all about the local wildlife and survival type stuff for a charge too.
There was a lot of emphasis put on activities with the rangers on the Forest holidays website which we thought would be good for our kids, but we didn't see them doing anything other than maintenance work.
Overall we would definitely recommend this site - so many people we spoke to have returned time and time again. Certainly a great first camping experience!

'Comfrey' in the previous review is spot on with the description of the site and facilities - we visited with a 9, 10 and 16 year old and there was plenty to keep everyone happy.
The site was relatively noise free after about 11. 30pm and the facilities were always extremely clean. The staff were extremely helpful and although the reception/shop kept fairly reduced hours, staff were always on hand around the site.
Aberfoyle is just under 2 miles away with a tarmac cycle/path which runs from the campsite all the way into the village. The path is flat and totally separated from the road by a hedge so is ideal for walking/cycling with children.
The kids also got to go fishing and there are loads of paths in the trees near the play area so it meant they could play without annoying other campers!
Some of the pitches (including ours) got rather waterlogged in the heavy rain and as we were staying for a week, the staff had no problem in letting us move our tent to prevent us creating a mud bath underneath it.
The pitches were a bit tight for large family size tents which meant that there was little leeway on how the tent could be placed, but this is something else the staff said they would be looking at for next year.
Also, (and I know it's a minor thing) the site is advertised as selling milk and bread at the reception, but milk was gone first thing in the morning and I don't think they sold bread. Not a huge issue but over the week, it meant an almost daily drive or walk into Aberfoyle for fresh supplies!
After a week at the site we didn't want to leave as we still felt there was loads more exploring to do! We have already vowed to come back again and would happily recommend it to anyone.

First time camping with my twins aged 5 we took advantage of the fact it was less than an hours drive away-if there were problems we could just pack up and go home.
Good advise given on a suitable non waterlogged pitch next to the playpark (It had been raining heavily for the past few days) Toilets and showers very clean and washing up area was well set out.
Close to Aberfoyle there seems to be a tie up with a local hotel, where they will pick-up and drop off if you eat/drink there Noise was at a minimum after the 10:30 gate closure.
Although we have nothing to campare it to, it was everything we wanted for our first trip away.

Excellant campsite. Very well maintained. The toilets, showers, washing facilities are all very clean, bright and cheerful. The pitches are well spaced out and there is a good choice available - both with and without electric hook up.
The staff were very pleasant and regularly patrolled the site picking up litter. Previous reviews indicated a lot of crossing over pitches - this can be avoided by pitching along the river bank. I didn't see a lot of evidence of people crossing close to others tents.
The shop is small and carries some minor items. Fresh produce such as milk etc need to be purchased in Aberfoyle where there is a Co-op open until 10pm.
A nice touch is the offering of free herbs to pick for your cooking. The location of the site is difficult to fault. You can go extensive walks straight from the site or cycling.
More activities are to be found at David Marshall Lodge, just a short drive away, with forest walks and Go-Ape tree walking, zip wires etc; Loch Ard, not much further away offers more walks and canoing possibilities.
A visit to the Wee Blether tearoom at Kinlochard is a must. There is no pub or entertainment on the site and this suits me fine. There is a plea to keep the noise down at around 11pm I didn't notice any abuse of this.
The only thing to watch is the camp site barrier is locked at 10. 30pm so late night trips in the car wont get back in. The nearest pub is in Gartmore and its nearly all an uphill walk to get there - we didn't go so cant comment.
Will definitely return to this site

We spent a long weekend on this site and have absolutely no complaints regarding the camping side of things. A better play area for kids would have been appreciated.
One slight gripe was that because tents and caravans are in the same pitching area we had to put up with a rather ignorant caravanner next to us. He erected a satellite dish stand on our pitch area, in the process moving our kids toys out the way with no regard to whether they got broken or not.
Needless to say we moved his dish back into his area. I am glad to say this is the only grief we have had with caravans or motor homes - most folk are very pleasant.
We will probably re-visit this site again.
