 We haven't stayed here since the caravan club took over this site. We had called and asked to look round the site. This was no problem and the busy wardens answered our question and made us welcome. On our arrival we were quickly booked in and on our way to choose a pitch. We chose a large hard standing with a view of the Loch.
This site has been upgraded by the club and the facilities are very clean and modern. The wardens are never off the go and the site is a credit to them. Rolls and papers are available in the morning from the office and Forfar is a lovely town with some good shops and unfortunately a few supermarkets. Saddlers and McLaren's the bakers are a must. There are lots of places nearby that are worth visiting. We have still some to go for our next visit.

We turned up without a booking and were lucky to get the last pitch on what is a very busy and popular site.
Facilities block is fairly new and kept immaculately well by the wardens. Good sized hardstanding pitches but the circular layout does give an impression of being a little closed in.
Close to shops etc and this is a good base for the coast, Dundee and Perth and the many other attractions such as Glamis castle a few miles up the road.
The CC have certainly done well with a site it would be hard to fault. If anything we found a bit too close to the public park and children's play area but it depends what you are looking for.

As previous reviews have said, this is now a first class site. Forfar too has been much improved and has a good range of sports and leisure facilities, independant shops and supermarkets.
However, despite its popularity, we didn't really enjoy our stay at Lochside. It is generally busy with families in summer and couples during the low season. The circular layout of the site can give the illusion of being crowded although the pitches are generous.
It simply didn't seem to have an atmosphere where we felt we could relax. It's more of a base from which you can travel than a destination in itself. But it is a very good base.

Excellent site with loads of dog walks adjacent to the site. In Forfar you have ASDA, Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Original Factory Shop and Home Bargains plus lots of traditional town shops. Most of these shops are within a 10 minute walk from the site.
Forfar itself is very central for touring. The wardens at the site were first class. Like the previous reviewer we had a serviced site with lots of elbow room between us and the neighbouring pitches. If you are travelling to Perth go via Meigle and stop at the village bistro for coffee and scones (with fantastic jam!).
It is one site we will return to.

Stayed here for a full week using it as a central base to discover the wider area. This was our first visit but definitely not our last. Great pitches along the back fence (number 30 or so I think) which get the sun at the back all afternoon and have lots of space for BBQ and loungers. Huge pitches too.
The site, service and amenities are excellent. We have two children (2 & 7 years) so the nearby play ground, crazy golf, mini golf course etc were ideal and the eldest even managed to cycle around the Loch which is an easy 25 minute flat ride.
There's very little in Forfar but there is decent supermarkets to stock up. We enjoyed nearby Pictavia and a trip to Camerdown Park in Dundee (huge!). Along the coast it's worth the effort to find Lunan Bay, a beautiful beach with excellent dunes. We didn't like Arbroath, very tacky!
Would definitely recommend to anyone.

On site at the moment and have nothing but praise for the site and wardens. Facilities are superb, pitches are huge and flat. We are on a serviced pitch and it is well set up,
Access to the Loch for walks via a gate in the surrounding fence, good reception for tv with plug in point on main hook up post.
Easy walk to town, good meal in the Chapter and Verse bar/restaurant. Plenty of places to visit in the area.
Went to Glamis castle today and went on the guided tour, enjoyed it.

This was our first visit. It is an excellent site with all facilities to a high standard as recently upgraded by the Caravan Club.
Pitches and grass verges maintained to a high standard. Good walks around the Loch.
Forfar town centre within walking distance with good range of shops. Tesco, Aldi, Lidl etc also nearby.
Large children's play area just outside the compound fence.
Recommend circular tour by car (not towing) up Glen Clova, with lunch at the Clova hotel. Camera Obscura at Kirriemuir only open in summer months but good views from its location where there is huge 'Peter Pan ' type pirate ship for children's' play.

The Caravan Club have taken over this former Council park and over the winter closedown are to renovate it adding an extra 16 hard standings. Standard C. C. Water and waste facilities are to be put in and the combined reception and toilet block is getting renovated.
The site itself sits on the edge of town and a 5 minute walk will take you to the town centre. It has a variety of shops and a couple of good butchers - always important for the barbie !.
There is also a Farmer's Market on a Saturday which is set up close to the site.
Supermarkets within 5 minutes include Lidl, Aldi and TESCO.
Although no facilities for children, the site sits adjacent to a sports hall which also has an extensive playground. There is also football pitches in the adjacent area for the more energetic. These are used for playing and training during the weekend by the local teams.
For dog owners there is an established walk round the loch which is also adjacent to the site.
All in all there is something for everyone which is probably why it was nearly full on a weekend which rained and with a hurricane forecasted !.

Just back from a weekend here, lovely well kept site. Only a few hard standing pitches although think more are planned in the near future. Plenty water taps & grey waste drains, one chemical disposal in main building in centre of site.
Large fence surrounds the site which is quite good and crash barrier across entrance which you get a key fob for.
Toilets clean & tidy, separate shower section. Shower cubicles big enough to shower & change in without banging into the walls and getting your clothes soaking! Some reviews state that showers were roasting which I didn't find at all.
Only negative point is no proper hairdryers or sockets for your own. Toilets closed from 10. 45-12. 00 for cleaning which is quite a long time.
Park through a secure gate which we found to be more than adequate for my 3 year old. He also loved feeding the ducks in the loch. Great walks for the dogs too. Walking distance into town, good selection of shops.
Would go back to this site again.

First visit to this site. Excellent facilities. Easy to find. Easy access. Beautifully kept.
Roll on 2012 when the all the changes the CC have planned are in place, these include some more much needed hard standings, better use of the space inside the loo's, CC standard water/waste points, visitors parking, some serviced pitches etc.
Lots to do in the area with Dundee, Glamis, Montrose, Carnoustie etc all within easy reach. Good TV picture and 'phone signal for my network. We enjoyed our visit a great deal.
