 Selected this site after driving past on a previous visit to the area.
Telephone booking for two nights. After the initial booking in and the receiving of the obligatory list of rules we were brusquely directed to our pitch. Sadly that was the start of the decline. The spacing between units is minimal giving the feeling of being somewhat cramped. To hear your neighbour snoring is not a good start! Toilet and shower facilities adequate. Push button showers that my husband advised only lasted approx 10 seconds at best. Only one chemical toilet disposal point which is located at the far end of the park in the next section - quite a distance to carry a full toilet cassette. Whilst dogs are accepted on this site they appear not to be entirely welcomed. There are two official on site dog walking areas. Alarmingly and unknowingly, the one we used is an unfenced, multi levelled area of rough ground that opens straight onto the Logierait road! When I checked we had the correct dog walking area the staff confirmed its position and are fully aware of this safety issue! Dog owners be aware of this potentially fatal problem, especially those who's dogs are exercised on extending leashes.
The positives to this site is its location and its beautifully manicured grass in an otherwise characterless site.

Spent a few days on this site while touring Scotland.
Location
A ten minute walk from the lovely town of Pitlochry. It's definitely worth a visit - great pubs and a great atmosphere. The surrounding countryside is stunning and a good base for Loch Tay and Rannoch.
Facilities
Generally well maintained, though quite dated. Well stocked shop on site.
Price
Around £23 per night for two people with electricity.
Great site!

This is a very well maintained site which is very convenient for Pitlochry. Of all the sites we stayed in on our trip to Scotland, this was the only one to allocate us a pitch. This is quite useful when you are in a motorhome as you not worried about losing it if you go out. Although the town centre is fairly close it rained for most of the arrival day and we were able to drive into town without worry. A nice touch is free wifi, charged for at most other sites. As somebody else mentioned, the serried rows of statics are a bit soulless. Maybe some variety in colour or appearance might improve the look of the site. Within walking distance are the Bells distillery and the hydro-electric dam, both worth a visit. The washing facilities were very clean and well appointed. There was a small shop selling the basics although better shopping in the town was not far away.

Stayed here twice - one night on the way up to Orkney and two nights on the way back, and will certainly use it again.
The staff are friendly, there is a good shop if you need it (lovely fresh rolls !), as other people have said, the toilets are sparkly clean and there are very good showers or baths if you want them.
On the way back, the first night it rained. And rained. And rained. And rained. And all the next morning, so we were very grateful for the free wifi so we could get some work done while waiting for it to pass. We then wandered up to the dam, which was amazing !
We went into town - Pitlochry is quite a tourist trap but is delightful - it has a permanent Christmas shop, with some lovely bits and pieces, some excellent places for coffee and we like the Westlands Hotel, where we used to stay in pre-motorhome days. We went there for an evening meal and it was really nice, friendly and good food.
There is lots to do in the area - we can recommend the Erdradour distillery and next time we go we plan to visit Blair Atholl.
The site is also very well placed for visiting the Pitlochry theatre.
The only downside I could see is that there really doesn't seem to be much for children to do - but for a site for adults it's great !

Just 1/4 mile out of Pitlochry town a big site, well set out in 3 areas. The best pitching is on the main two fields but these are only for those using awnings. Staff are efficient with quick check in - note they don't take cards - cash only.
The other area is around the edge of the statics. Smaller pitches but quiet and near to the showe / bath cubicles. The only gripe here is the chem toilet is nearby - not a problem itself, more that there is a constant stream of cars from the other pitching areas driving down to empty their toilets. Car after car first thing, and its really not that far to walk.
There is a big toilet / shower block on the main areas. Very clean, good hot water, hairdryers and the only minus is 30 second push buttons on the showers. The smaller block by that statics is individual bathrooms with baths or showers. Heaters, hairdryers and kept immaculately. Good shop on site open 9am to 9pm and has a good range.
Town is very pretty, outdoor shops, gift shops and plenty of eateries. The Heather Jewellery workshop is really worth a visit.
We paid £21 per night on the non awning pitches. A really good site that's well kept and handy for town. Would recommend a visit here.

We have just spent 3 nights on this site. The situation is great, on the edge of the town, so an easy walk in, with great views of the surrounding countryside. However I found the pitches all a bit cramped.
The toilet block was spotless, plenty of hot water and free hairdryers. There was a good sized shop which was open for long hours. There is no children’s play area which seems a bit odd on a site of this size.
It felt a bit soul less, perhaps because of the huge field of identical, bleak statics.

This is the second time we have used this site, the first time with a campervan the second with a tent and three grandchildren, 4, 5, and 6.
This is a clean, with electric hook ups on all pitches not too crowded site with a small shop for milk, rolls and the wonderful 10p mix of sweets. Our grandchildren enjoyed the freedom of this very safe site going to ‘the shop’ still in their pj’s for breakfast goodies and when the arguments started the 10p mix.
We found there was no need for a play park ours and the other children found plenty to keep them occupied and socializing with other children, no need for computer games and the TV, they used their imaginations & camp friendly ball games, though we were lucky the weather was lovely.
We had fun one afternoon with a murder mystery 'Treasure Trail' taking us all round Pitlochry, with convenient pit stops, at a play park and then on to a café with coffee, cakes, ice cream, wine and time to dally at the salmon ladder and then finishing opposite a nice restaurant for our evening meal { we did not get it correct, right weapon but accused the wrong person)
If we have one criticism it’s the fact that you cannot book a pitch for a tent, you feel a bit worried on the journey that you won’t get your preferred camp site.
We will use this campsite again.

Very well organised and clean campsite. The toilets were spotless and I noted that they also had baths which is quite rare for campsites. Excellent laundry facilities too.
Sadly, we were somewhat disappointed with the pitch we were provided with as our only view was of a row of static caravans which reminded us of an army barracks.
We were only staying for one night but we would have been very disappointed if we had booked for longer to be met with this view. I don't know if these pitches are cheaper than the others but I feel that they ought to be.
The campsite extended into another field where I think the campers had a better view of the very pretty surrounding countryside.
Other than our dislike of the pitch we were given, we did think that the site was well managed and very clean.

Well this was our last stop from out visit up to the top of Scotland. We were on are way back down to Dundee and stopped off here after reading the reviews and when we got there it looked very nice if not a bit posh.
Reception staff member was not the most welcoming I've arrived at, not to say they were rude or anything, I just felt like a bit of a number as oppose to a valued customer
Anyway on we went to our pitch it was at the back close to the wash room which was good, but a lot of people going past all the time and no tv signal where I was pitched, I think because it was so close to the trees
The campers were nice friendly types. Good views. Very well kept grass pitches
Toilets were the best we have see thus far, super clean but the toilet disposal was a little far from our pitch, so might be a challenge to some to carry the cartridge that far
Overall I would rate this site 9 out of ten for the toilets, well kept grass pitches and good views once you get past all the caravans that is
Bad points I would say toilet disposal, a little far from motorhome pitches. Staff could be a little more friendly on arrival as I find this goes a long way for them to get a return visit. It is a little deer
It would be a recommendation from me if your in the area and looking for somewhere to camp

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Milton of Fonab Site. This is an outstanding site for a number of reasons and we will definitely be returning.
We were very impressed with the high standards at this site. We found the staff helpful, particularly in relation to a personal request regarding pitch location and they worked continuously to ensure the grass was kept short and the toilet blocks immaculately clean.
Lovely flat layout with good sized hardstanding pitches, plenty of space between caravans and grass around the site.
Dog owners are requested to keep their dogs on leads at all times on the site, which didn’t seem to pose a problem for anyone and is great for us as we have 2 shy little dogs and it felt perfectly safe for them.
The toilet block nearest to our pitch was modern, spacious and had plenty of toilets and shower cubicles which consisted of a shower (with push button for plenty of hot water), toilet and small sink.
There were also additional full size sinks and hairdryers which were free to use. Larger sinks were also available for washing dishes. We walked across to the other toilet block which looked slightly older but was immaculately clean too.
There were several “small individual bathrooms” consisting of a full size bath, toilet and sink. This site had a very peaceful feel about it, even although we occasionally became aware of the traffic from the A9 it was very much in the background and didn’t bother us at all.
Nearby (about a 10 minute walk/ 2 minutes in the car) is Pitlochry which has places to eat, drink and a variety of shops. Personal favourites – 3 charity shops, a butcher up a side street where we bought our food for the BBQ, next door to this was a shop selling home made venison pies, steak pies etc which were very tasty.
On the main street was a shop selling freshly baked fruit scones, a Chemist, a hardware store selling all sorts (from caravan kettles to wind breaks) and a shop selling all kinds of whisky and other general items.
We loved this site and will definitely be returning to explore the location further.
