Date of Visit: June 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cherdi 2 reviews from this member

 We are just new to caravanning and chose this site as our first adventure. We are just back from our second visit. We found it to be family friendly, with a lovely little play area for children and plenty of room for a game of football.

Toilet/ showers were ready available even when park is busy. Very well kept park with very helpful / friendly wardens. The little town (about 1.5 mile) away has a good choice of eateries,pubs and shops. Beautiful little lake at the end of the town where you can enjoy the company of tourists and locals.

You can chose your own pitch with plenty of water and hook up facilities. Lovely walks by the river and for the fishermen, you have a choice of two loch,s about 10 min drive away. Bait can be bought in town.

We love this park and would recommend it to anybody who wants to visit surrounding areas such as Stirling. No shop on site but bakers van calls every morning with papers, milk, morning rolls, pies and much more.

 Just back from this site and must say it is a Top site.

Spotlessly clean,great facilities including a large playing field that could be a golf fairway it is so well groomed, and good children's play area.

Staff are very friendly and always on the go.

Also ate at Ciros Italian restaurant in the town (main st) which was good also

Will definitely return

 Spent one night at this site when touring the area. It's a very large site, but facilities are plentiful and spotlessly clean. All pitches have electricity and water supply, as well as waste drainage.

The park is a ten minute walk from Callendar, which is a great town with all the amenities you might need. There is also a nice pub just over the road from the site. This part of Scotland is fantastic for walking, cycling and watersports.

A great site, will use again. 


Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Splodger 9 reviews from this member

 Having read the previous reviews and visiting The Gart for the first time, I felt the need to leave a review to, perhaps, balance the opinion. We stayed Friday until Monday.

The Gart is an extremely clean and well maintained site. Staff were continually about tidying & cleaning. The toilet block is spotless and has the benefit of heating within.

The pitches area can be uneven in places but with careful positioning should not really be much of a problem. We chose a pitch adjacent to the play area which was ideal.

A previous review mentioned the number of advisory notices about the site. Had I not read that review I would not have noticed them. Yes, there are a number but not something that in any way would cause me to criticise the site.

The reception staff could not be faulted. Polite, friendly and helpful. What more could you ask for?

The proprietors have very kindly acknowledged the needs of dog owners as they have fenced a small wooded area and laid a winding bark (no pun intended!) path through it. We also took our dog through the wooded area sitting behind the play area and between the statics and the adjacent housing estate, which leads to the riverside.

Callendar is a lovely little town. Just beyond it there is the A81 leading to Aberfoyle. If you take this road then 200 yards along on the left is The Lade Inn which also has a real ale shop. Rita, one of the owners, claims it houses the largest collection of real ales in Scotland and by the range on offer, I could not argue. Rita is a charming character and was happy to extol the virtues of The Lade Inn restaurant wherein her son is the Chef. Having listened to her rave reviews, we visited that evening expecting a treat. However, we were rather disappointed. It was not a bad meal but it was not as startling as Rita had us believe. It was standard fare and no more. I am not saying don't visit it, just don't expect something special equivalent to its awards.

In summary, The Gart is a fabulous site to which we will return and Callendar is a lovely town which we still need to explore further.

Reviewer: Dippy27uk 19 reviews from this member

 We were at the gart over Easter weekend. This is our second visit & on both occasions have found the staff very helpful.

The facilities are clean & tidy & the children's park is fantastic.

The bakers van visited the site in the mornings, think he only comes on a weekend. He has usual bakery goods as well as some newspapers.

A lovely site which I have no doubts that we will visit again

Date of Visit: September 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Iandj 4 reviews from this member

 The site was selected as it is convenient to Callander. The staff were quite friendly, you choose your own pitch.

The site was very wet, no hardstand,grass only with hookup and drain. We drove around the site twice, many pitches completely saturated, our car is not four wheel drive, and we did not want to be stuck. Pitch up was fine but needed to use ramp to level out.

Facilities clean and tidy, and children's covered play area useful. This site is expensive compared with others. Not really value for money and site drainage needs improved. 


Date of Visit: September 2009 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Oakamoor 3 reviews from this member

 Used this site for a one night stop over, sorry but not impressed perhaps they only like caravans. Welcome was short and to the point - go and find a pitch here's the list of rules. Looking round the site I couldn't believe how many notices were attached to trees, it seemed each tree had a notice telling you what you couldn't do, even hanging the fire appliances from the trees

Reviewer: 1peppy 2 reviews from this member

 Have stayed at this site several times over the last few years, always impressed at the cleanliness of the site, caravans are well spaced, showers and toilets are clean and adequate, washing up area under cover and well sign posted. Bit of a walk into callender, but worth the effort, really nice shops and cafes. Recommend this site as a good base for exploring the local area.

Good fish and chip shop in callender.

Plenty of room to walk and exercise the dogs, room for children too, although no ball games allowed.

Site has a big area for static caravans but its well away from the tourers so no problem. 


Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Niall24 8 reviews from this member

 Used this site as a stop over for two nights despite some doubts as it wasn't a club site.

All facilities were very clean including the showers.

Play area was ok and there was no noise at night.

The pitch had it's own water supply as well as the Electric hook up,

Wastes points well placed so you don't have walk far.

Would recommend this site to anyone. 


Date of Visit: July 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Stewmunn 12 reviews from this member

 Came to this site to try out our caravan for the first time, we were booked for 3 nights but, despite the rain, we wish that we could have stayed longer. The site is excellent, very clean facilities, however there was no hair dryers, the staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival and were seen carrying out their business on several occasions without intrusion.

Our visit coincided with the World Highland Games so Callander was very busy during the weekend. This site is ideal for touring the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and is very close to Stirling with its great shopping Centre and the Castle.
