Just back from a weekend stay at Pine Trees. No complaints about the site, well laid out, good size pitches and bonus, water drain and supply at each pitch.
The only negative point with our pitch is it didn't have a tv point. The owners did say they have done most of the pitches but the ones at the bottom of the site will be done this year.
Site has kids play area and is across the river from the West Highland Way.
On one side the site is next to a river on the other side is the main Oban road and as a light sleeper traffic did waken me up in the morning. Cant say it kept me off my sleep at night, but that may be more to do with having a couple of shandys.
We stayed here for the first night of our 2 week holiday to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and our first adventure in a hired Motorhome. James, from 'Highdays and Holidays' in Callander, where we hired the Motorhome from recommended this site and booked it for us so we didn't know what to expect but we were highly delighted! The site is spotless and an ideal location for us as we ventured onto Fort William.
The customer service was outstanding and we were allocated a lovely pitch, at the far end of the site by lovely friendly wardens who patrolled the site almost constantly checking everything was OK.
The toilets and shower blocks were spotlessly clean, with flowers and piped music - well impressed!
There is a nice walk along the riverside and the place has a relaxed atmosphere.
We could not fault this site at all and enjoyed the award winning fish and chips at the nearby cafe which allowed us to take our dog in, as does the pub a little further up the road, although we never managed to make it there! Maybe we'll try it next time we visit as I'm sure we will be back!
We planned on stopping here as part of our Scotland tour and actually passed by it on the outbound journey. First time just driving past and it didn't look so good. Didn't like the area and didn't like the look of the setting so on the return leg we were not looking forward to making the stop. All I can say is that I must have been looking at the wrong thing or had an unknown mental breakdown whilst driving past.
Absolutely top notch site. On arrival you are met by a very well kept and maintained entrance that looks inviting. Pulling up at reception is a marked out area for check in. Good touch that. The reception doubles as the shop which had a good range of essentials at a good price. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We couldn't decide which pitch to choose so they said to have a look around, pick one and let them know! As we were driving around looking, one of the staff passed by (he was doing one of his frequent empty the bins runs), stopped reversed back up and asked if everything was alright and could he help. Excellent customer service.
Once we had chosen the pitch we started to get set up. At this point we were again visited by the same chap who was pointing out which of the facilities to use, where to plug things in and even which way to face to get the best out of the sun!
The site itself is nestled in the valley with fantastic views with a small river running down the edge. You are located near the main road but I can honestly say I never noticed it once. Maybe with the site being slightly lower down and the stone walls around the edge this is enough to dampen any road noise. Going through the site is a pleasure in itself. Grass areas all around, ample sized hard standing pitches with grass areas for tents, plenty of bins, water points, disposal points, etc. There are lots of nice little touches which are easily overlooked to start with. Simple things like we saw what appeared as a little random wooden building, looking inviting with flowers planted / hanging around it. On inspection it turned out to be a chem toilet disposal point! Never before have I been drawn to a toilet point.
The bins were similarly disguised. There has been an awful lot of time and thought gone into the site, from layout and appearance, to location and amount of facilities. The toilet and shower block was of a good size and, in keeping with the rest of the site, was kept very clean and tidy. There was a kids play area that although we didn't directly go and look at, did look very inviting for the younger members. Other nice touches included the several midge machines dotted around. In the centre of the main tent area a picnic table in a covered area was available for use. This gave the facility of having a dry area to use for food prep, I. E. Pack up for the day, or simply a way to get out of the rain should there be any.
From the site there is access to many different walks. A short stroll and you arrive directly in Tyndrum which has a pub serving food and drinks (didn't visit), a cafe serving good quality fish n chip style meals, a small shop and the Green Welly stop which has a shop, petrol station, restaurant and tourist shop. The main shop was fine for stocking up on the usual everyday items and not badly priced. Petrol was at a comparable rate to my normal midland prices, but the tourist part I though was very overpriced. We went in to look for something to take home as a momento but struggled to find anything that I considered to be actually Scottish that wasn't 3 times the price (one tea towel for near a tender? Please. ).
If you haven't got bored by now with my scribblings, to sum up, a fantastic site, very well kept and run, very friendly helpful staff, excellent facilities, sensibly priced, with access to good walking. Congratulations to the staff and owners. You should be used as a guide to all the other sites as how to do it.
I've stayed here with both my young kids on various occasion. Our later visit was the Easter weekend. Where to start, First impression are, fantastic location, followed by a very friendly reception. I had to change my original plans and this was no problems. The site itself is stunning, clean, nice layout. The shop is well stocked and very reasonable priced. The river is an added bonus as our kids played here for ages. The showers, toilets and washing facilities are as good as I've seen. Looking forward to our next visit.
Just back from a long weekend staying at Pine Trees (picked from reading reviews here!)
So glad we stayed here. The drive along the A84/A85 takes you through what must be the best scenery in Scotland. It's a brilliant wee campsite, in a great location, with really good shower and toilet facilities (always perfectly clean). Really friendly staff who couldn't have been more helpful, right from checking-in to saying good-bye and leaving. They had arranged an Easter Family fun day as well - Easter Egg hunt, egg decoration and a sports day
Nice wee shop on site for the essential, but a couple of wee shops (including The Green Welly Stop if you need whisky!), a chippy and pub/hotel only 4/5 mins into Tyndrum if you fancy.
The West Highland Way runs just at the back of the campsite, so a great walk through the woods in both directions. Popular spot for panning for gold as well and you can a hobby kit nearby if you fancy a bash at that.
The double pitches might be a wee bit tight, but we had 2 x big family/6-man tents and got them both on the pitch.
One of the best campsites we've stayed at and we'll definitely be back there again this year
Just spent long week end with friends at this site, and can't praise it highly enough, wardens managed to make sure our two units were next to each other, we were allowed to stay way past the check out time allowing us to enjoy another nice walk and our friends to try their luck panning for gold, all be it the site wasn't too busy, this would change in busy season.
The site is immaculate toilet block is spotless with nice music playing in the back ground, small shop on site, wardens were extremely helpful and friendly and we're always near at hand when needed but never intrusive. Surrounding area is lovely with the West Highland Way running just behind the site and Forrest walks nearby, Green Welly shop and Spar are short walk from the site.
All in all very happy campers and will definitely return very soon to Pine Trees
I would like to expand on my earlier review (an overnight) now we have spent a week at this lovely site.
The site: Pretty, tranquil, well looked-after campsite. As well as the touring and tenting pitches there are hikers huts for hire. Site facilities are immaculate. Pitches are big and have ehu/water at pitch. Some pitches have a point for tv aerial (no reception otherwise unless satellite dish). So if tv is important to you request one of these pitches. The reception/shop sells a few basic items but there is a small shop in the village. The wardens are friendly, helpful and hard-working. A small playpark keeps the children amused.
Off site: Pinetrees is a great base for sightseeing and walking, being on the West Highland Way. There are lovely walks direct from site and within a short drive. Two train stations get you to and from Glasgow, Oban and Fort William, all less than an hour and a half journey. Glencoe is less than half an hour by car and the Trossachs less than an hour.
The area is popular with gold panners, you can buy a basic kit locally if you want to try your luck. You can also walk to the old gold mine - there was talk of reopening the mine a few years ago but it hasn't happened yet.
Chip shop/cafe and dog-friendly pub/hotel in Tyndrum, only a short walk from site. And of course the famous Green Welly shop/cafe is worth a look.
We had a lovely week at Pinetrees. We plan to return.
Just had a brilliant stay at this lovely site. Very friendly welcome which continued throughout our stay, nothing was too much trouble. The toilet block was very clean, showers were lovely and warm. The pitches weren't too close together and fully serviced with TV points too. The West Highland way running alongside the site was handy for walking the dogs and for an alternative way of getting to the village if you didn't want to walk along the road. Down the road the Green welly stop had a petrol station with shop for supplies, restaurant and gifts or there was another local shop next to it. Also down the road was a cafe which was quite high in price but we tried the chips and they were nice and very filling portions, and a tourist information centre with loads of info on places to go. Would definitely recommend this site.
Used this site as a stopover en-route to Skye but also because we wanted to try it out. A lovely site, friendly wardens and spotless facilities. This site is also popular with walkers and backpackers doing the West Highland Way.
Good walks from site and you can try your hand at gold panning - we watched a couple trying their luck and apparently they have had some finds over the years. There is also a small playpark for children.
We saw enough to decide we will use this site for actual breaks, especially since it is only a cople of ours from home.
We needed a site for a quick overnight stop on our way home from a visit to the West Coast of Scotland and this seemed to fit the bill.
We're not normally attracted by this kind of formally laid out 'leisure park' type site; preferring something a bit more natural, but if that's what floats your boat then I doubt you will find much better than this one.
We were warmly welcomed by the relief wardens, who were just lovely, given a map of the site and told we could choose any pitch we liked. The pitches for caravans and motorhomes are hard standings, separated by grassy areas and we chose one not far from the toilet/shower block, for which, incidentally you are given a code for a security lock on the door.
I don't think I've ever seen such immaculate facilities. Everything was spotlessly clean and fresh, even at the end of the day, and the heated washroom was very welcome on quite a cold day for late June.
Shame the same can't be said for the local pub a few minutes up the road where we strolled for an early evening drink. It lacked any character whatsoever and whilst I'm not much of a beer drinker so clearly no expert, my half pint of lager and lime was so weak and flat I may as well have drunk water. My OH, on the other hand, enjoyed his pint of Deuchars.
We had picked up a few provisions at the local mini-market but there were also some basics on sale in the campsite shop.
Even though we belatedly realised we had pitched near to the main road we weren't bothered by traffic noise and got a good night's sleep. In the morning I was surprised to find I had the shower block completely to myself at around 8. 30am.
I was expecting to be charged £22 for the night, including EHU, however we were only charged £18 because we were in a small campervan. There is also free wi-fi access included.
Overall an excellent site which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
We stayed here for a week. The wardens go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Its a really lovely site. All pitches are fully serviced, its a was a joy to stay there. The site is well laid out, with ample space between pitches, the toilet blocks are immaculate as is the rest of the site.
The village has a few shops, petrol station a pub and a few cafes. The shops are ok for essentials, but if you need a bigger shop Oban is the nearest, with Tesco and Lidl.
This is a site you want to go back to and we will.
Stopped here for 1 night on our way back home, we hadn't planned it but the site looked nice as we passed it on our way up to Fort William.
Well, what can I say? what a great place, we were greeted by one of the Owners who was very friendly and helpful, we chose our pitches (we were travelling with relatives) and sat back to enjoy the scenery.
The site is very well kept, the toilet/shower block spotlessly clean and very pretty.
The site caters for everyone from the lone walker (hiker pods) to tents to caravans and motorhomes. There is a laundry room with a vending machine for tea, coffee, soup etc (very hand for the walkers) and a dish washing area.
Located on the main A82 you would expect it to be very noisy but as the site is in a bit of a dip and surrounded by lovely trees, it wasn't too bad.
We would recommend this site to anyone and really wish we could have stayed longer.
We used the site for a short notice one night stop over on the way back south at the end of half term. This is an immaculate site where everything is ordered and the facilities are very modern and very clean (campers need a code to gain entry). The owners have thought of everything and were very accommodating. The free Wifi was a real bonus for us!
The surroundings are great: there are mountain views from the site and the site is on the Highland Way; its wide path was great for the children to cycle on.
The site is very open (there are no borders between pitches), this makes for ease of access but means that some campers walk on other campers pitches.
The 'Green Welly' shop in the village is well worth a visit!
Just got back from pine trees. Can't fault the site- excellent clean shower block and plenty of hot water; clean well maintained site, good level fully services pitches and right next to West Highland Way for walking. Tyndrum itself a bit limited for eateries and hostelries but overall nice quiet place. Perfect getaway from the rat race! Very friendly and helpful owners; will be back but hopefully with bring better weather!
