Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Pheebs125 2 reviews from this member

 The site itself was in a great location just off the River Forth next to Aberfoyle. We had a pitch next to the river and didn't have any real problems with midges after we sprayed ourselves with repellent. A great base for exploring the Trossachs and Loch Lomond and there were some nice forest walks starting from the site.

We stayed for the weekend and found it very noisy. It is a family friendly site with a small playpark and so you would expect the usual noise from children playing during the day. However, we found the adults were more to blame for the noise as it got dark. The site 'rules' stated that there should be no noise after 10pm, however there was music playing, people talking loudly (sometimes shouting!) well past midnight and although rangers were on site they didn't seem to enforce their own rules!

The facilities were clean - plenty of toilets but sometimes a wait for the shower during peak times but this can only be expected. The office had a freezer and basic provisions which was useful and the staff were very friendly.

All in all, a nice site in a great location which was unfortunately spoiled for us by some of the other campers!

Reviewer: AudsleyI 12 reviews from this member

 A very nice and tidy site, in a great location, just on the edge of the vast Queen Elizabeth forest and the river Forth. It is only a reasonable walk into the nearby town of Aberfoyle where there are a couple of excellent pubs servicing good food, and a Co Op for supplies.

You can either walk along an old disused railway line, now a footpath and cycle path, or part way through the forest. This is a good base for Trossachs exploration in general.

The facilities cannot be faulted. Toilet and shower blocks are fairly modern, in good condition and kept clean.

There are weekend “ranger” activities which those with kids may find interesting, and the site as some other free kids activities and playground.

The middle section of the main site is where EHU tents and vans are pitched, whilst the outer edge, close to the river accepts non EHU tents. There are also some hard standing areas in separate sections from the site away from the main field. All pitches are level.

The main reception offers a small basic shop (bread and milk) with some “services” like phone / camera charging and probably ice pack freezing offered at a “small charge” (can’t say what this is as we had EHU).

In summary an excellent site if a little pricey (although the cost can be lowered by buying a “Forest Experience” card or having C&CC membership – you have to do your own math to work out if this ends up being a cheaper option for you).

 This was our first visit to the site - a last minute decision that luckily paid off.

We stayed on the Saturday night, the site was busy as expected, but the staff were still very helpful and friendly. We got a great pitch by the river and enjoyed a quick walk close by. The toilet facilities were large, very clean and never overly busy.

On a less positive note, the weather throughout the night was terrible (nothing we could do about that) and one of the other campers (and partner) was on a personal mission to drink himself into another dimension out in the pouring rain - brave man! We had a few ourselves but he definitely managed to brave the weather better and longer than most and was just a bit noisy in the wee hours. In the morning the weather continued to be dreadful and we opened up the tent to find ourselves in the middle of Lake Garda.Ok then, Lake Cobleland! In fairness I think the weather could be described as torrential and our own personal pond was down to that rather than the pitch.

Overall we had a great stay on the Saturday and would recommend a visit to this well maintained site - hopefully you will have better luck with the weather and over indulgent campers and we may see you there.

Reviewer: Lstew 2 reviews from this member

 We visited this campsite and we were delighted with it. It helped that the weather was warm and dry even if it was not particularly sunny.

The staff were very helpful and arranged for us (3 tents) to be pitched together. They were aware we were 3 families with children and positioned us near the children's swing park and also near the toilets - it was an ideal position for us.

The swing park was suitable for our our children aged from 4-10 years.

The toilets were always clean - even at busy times and although there are only about 6 showers we never had any issues getting access even though the site was full on saturday night.

We had a keen cyclist and runner with us who enjoyed the various walks and cycle paths around.

The dads even went for a pint at the blackbull in gartmore to watch the football which is close enough to walk to. (but uphill on the way there!)

The only slightly negative comment I could make was that a few of us received midgie bites but it is to be expected in this part of the world at this time of the year and the warden was kind enough to prepare us for it so we had plenty repellent on. The children managed to escape without a bite between them - must have been all the running about.

All our children took their bikes and played for hours riding around the site without any concerns for their safety.

All in all a great weekend! Would recommend.

 Beautiful setting for this well maintained park. Owners of two golden labs, dog walks were excellent and dog friendly, dogs have to kept on leads at all times within the park but not a problem due to the close walks where they can run free.

Short walk into Aberfoyle where eating places are value for money. Short drive to Callander another great eating place and good icecream.

Our first visit to this park was tues and it was very peaceful although it does become family orientated at weekends and can become noisy although strict lights out was adhered to.

Wardens and rangers very friendly and helpful. Highlight to week came when sitting out one night and neighbouring camper started to play a few tunes on his bagpipes to a setting sun - magical.

Will definitely return. Ps remember the midgie cream !

 This is generally a very good site.

Good points:

The manager was friendly and helpful.

The pitch was good and flat.

The toilet block and showers were quite clean, and there probably weren't enough showers.

Very close to Aberfoyle, and a 20 minute drive to Callander.

Great kids' play area.

Bad points:

There are quite steep charges for visitors. £3 per car, and £2 per person. There is even a charge for dogs.

Nothing to do with the site, but there is a terrible midge problem in this part of Scotland. Be sure to take insect repellent and / or citrus candles.

Reviewer: Weeboaby 2 reviews from this member

 We camped at coble lands for a weekend, there were 4 families of us there. It was very quiet and peaceful ( just they we like it!) All the kids had a ball playing on the wooden play area, hunts in the woods, and cycling round the park on there bikes.

Toilet facilities very clean although the shop is basic

Some one in a tent decided to play bagpipes later on in the day, it was entertaining. There's small village about 2 miles up the road(great pub in there and drove us back to the site)

A very enjoyable weekend. Lovely place.

Only one complaint midges, take plenty of repellent!

Reviewer: Krazykamper 37 reviews from this member

 Just back from this beautiful site. We stayed for 3 days and wish it could have been longer. Site itself was well maintained. Toilets and dishwashing area also clean. As previously mentioned there are only 4 showers and did have to wait but it was worth it.

We walked into the lovely village of Aberfoyle where we spent the day. We did plan to do this by bicycle but when went to hire them were told they had not yet been serviced for the season.

Our eldest son was looking forward to participating in the many ranger activities that are on offer but all the rangers were on holiday when we were there!

All in all a fantastic campsite situated on the lovely banks of the river forth. Both wardens worked hard during our stay to maintain this high standard and we look forward to returning some day.

Reviewer: Colincky 14 reviews from this member

 Nice site in lovely area, only thing that was a put off was the add on charges for silly things, ie £3.50 added on each night for dogs. Don't get me wrong the site and staff are nice but these little niggles put us off

Also nice walks in the area and fishing.

Reviewer: Ali33 4 reviews from this member

 The fantastic weather helped but Lesley and Graeme remembered us from last year which was a nice touch. This campsite is perfect. Seems to attract nice like-minded people and the staff have a good balance between too strict and not strict enough.

There was no noise on the site after 11 and before hand people were well behaved but having a good time. My dogs occasionally barked at passers by but I was not made to feel awkward about this as they were for the most part well behaved.

A stunning location, spotless facilities and lovely walks. Only campsite I've been to that I would camp alone at and where I feel my dogs are welcome. Can't wait to return to this wee haven. Love it. Staff deserve 11 out of 10

Reviewer: Sarah42g 6 reviews from this member

 This is the best site we have ever stayed at. The facilities were clean and tidy and the staff were more than will to help. We stayed for a week and found the peace and quiet well worth the 7 hour drive.

There were lots of walks directly from the site so no need to use the car, and Aberfoyle is only a short walk away where there is a co-operative store for any extras you may need.

The dusk watch walk is a must. Rangers are very knowledgeable about their area and keen to pass their knowledge onto guests.

Only minor downside was the site did get busier on Friday/Saturday night and there were a few campers who stayed up until late. However, this would not put me off staying again.

Reviewer: Ajbmcgregor 1 review from this member

 A Great site, very peaceful with excellent facilities, which were spotless, entry code system a bit of a pain when you need to go to the toilet in a hurry. The showers were hot and clean, only 4 so may be a bit of a wait at peak times. Always plenty of hot water at the dish washing area.

There were some organised activities for children, which looked good but our children were a little too young to try them.

A beautiful setting on the banks of the river, with some lovely forest walks. Will definitely visit this site again.

Reviewer: Lochnessmonster 14 reviews from this member

 Initially booked for 2 nights at Cobleland but enjoyed it so much we stayed for 7 nights!

Wardens Graeme and Lesley gave us a friendly welcome and were extremely pleasant and helpful throughout our stay.

The toilet and showers were always clean and tidy. The site, set on the banks of the River Forth and close to Aberfoyle is ideally situated for many picturesque drives or walks in the forest. It is worth visiting the David Marshall Centre situated just above Aberfoyle (a few minutes drive from the site) as an introduction to the area.

We hope to return soon!

 This site is very good site shower block very clean and tidy only problem was when its busy you have to queue as there isn't enough

Very peaceful at night

There does seem to be a problem with the drainage we had two very nice dry days but then we had torrential rain and we had to pack up as the water was running under our tent but apart from the rain which is unavoidable it was a very nice site and would use this site again

Reviewer: BERNARD67 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a two night stay at Cobleland had a great time. The setting is brilliant right next to the river. The staff were really good with our two girls (aged nine and four) taking time to talk to them. The facilities are really nice with loads of hot water, the only downside was the coded door locks on the toilet block which could be a bit temperamental. This site is in a beautiful spot right on the banks of the river forth and makes for a peaceful relaxing stay.the path from the campsite to Aberfoyle is ideal for walking or cycling as it is flat. It only takes 10 to 15 mins to Aberfoyle. This site is great for families with plenty to do i.e. The ranger activities play park and the forest walks.cannot wait to go back! The stay was made even better because we met some new camping buddies (gordon,jackie.david,emma,and wee gordon)the camping virgins what a scream!.
