Used this site for three nights. A warm welcome at reception. We were given a leaflet saying where various local shops and restaurants could be found. We did not use any so cannot comment on quality.
There are a good number of tourists leaflets in the reception and amenity blocks. There is plenty to do in the area, with Stirling nearby and also some good walks at two very close Country Parks, Ochills and Garten dam.
Views were lovely. You choose your own pitch.
We were close to shower block B which was clean and had plenty of hot water. Both blocks are cleaned at different times so one is always available. Block A is not so modern but I would still be happy to use it.
Dog walk on site but you can take the dog into the fields adjacent to the site for a longer walk.
There is a playground but we don't have children, but there were a couple of small children who seemed happy playing there.
Wow, what an interesting site. Let me explain. But first thing first. We'd come back again in a flash and have even started talking about basing ourselves here for another tour of Scotland in the Veedub.
You follow the signs for a prison most of the way here, eventually through Fishcross, wondering where you're going to end up, with the hills in the background.
Just when you're wondering where you've ended up, you reach the site. One of the most accommodating, cleanest and helpful places we've been to.
We booked for one night as a stopover to Glencoe and ended up staying 3 nights (albeit as a base rather than a place to hang out all day, but even then, it's a good choice if that's your thing). It's full of caravans and motorhomes but the pitches are huge, clean, the loo blocks are spotless and empty and there's a good enough play park to keep my three kids happy. If you're camping in a tent, there's a field for that too.
Fishcross has a pub 2 minutes drive with good pub grub for the family, and there's a shop down the road for everything else you need. Stirling is just down the road, Fort William a couple of hours and Edinburgh 45 minutes. The views are stunning and it's a very peaceful site.
The owners were very helpful and friendly, you get a map of the pitches, and there's plenty of space. The pitches are gravel so you can pitch a tent/awning onto your camper with loads of room.
We have just returned from a very relaxing week at this site. We had a fabulous pitch for our tent, flat and close to the toilets. The pitch even had its own picnic table.
We only had a couple of other tents near us during our stay, (the site is predominantly for caravans/tourers) but the owners said this was the first year they have allowed tents on the site. The site is very well maintained and the amenities are spotlessly clean. It is lovely and quiet, most folk seemed to be in bed by half 10 -11. Ideal for those who like an undisturbed night.
During our stay we all used the showers ( which were lovely and hot) and the dish washing facilities, again, piping hot water and free. We didn’t use the laundry facilities so can’t comment on these.
We ran out of camping gaz during the week but unfortunately this site doesn’t keep it. We managed to get a replacement from a nearby campsite. Not a great deal of inconvenience but when you want to get the breakfast on and the cuppas made, it would have been nicer if they had had them on site.
The site is a great base for seeing the local area, Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument are well worth a visit. Edinburgh and Glasgow are about an hour away if you fancy a bit of retail therapy and Loch Lomond, also about an hour away, is well worth a visit for the scenery.
Woods Caravan Club Park, with its fantastic views of the Ochil Hills, is a real credit to its owners. They are friendly and helpful without being interfering. We will definitely be returning. Hopefully next time without the Scotch mist!
First impressions very good, staff very friendly, managed to get set up very quickly on a pitch at the bottom of the hill. Toilets and other facilities very good.
Although the site is on a slope, all pitches have been levelled out. Great views of the Ochill Hills but very exposed towards the bottom of the hill. It was very windy during my visit and I must admit, I thought my awning was going to take off, but it was fine once the wind died down.
Ideally located for visiting all the local sites in and around Stirling. I didn't use any local facilities in the immediate area, but not far from Alva, local town/village.
For kids there is a play area to keep them amused and a large playing field at the bottom of the site. I would say to park closer to the bottom of the site if you have kids as there is lots of space for them to run around away from the other caravans.
We have just returned from a 2 night stay, very nice location with amazing views of the hills, site well kept, toilet/shower block immaculate, staff very welcoming and informative, small play area for younger children (kept our 4year old amused), dog friendly site with on site dog walking area and more walks across the road. Supermarket located about 5 min drive away, tent pitch was flat and even. All 4 of us had a wonderful break and will certainly return.
Excellent site. Very friendly and courteous staff with great facilities on site. Kid friendly and close to all major attractions in the area. We initially arrived in a tent but loved the place so much we ended up buying a caravan on the site complete with 6 months site fees paid. Best thing we have done. This place also has fantastic views of the stunning Ochil hills and is a great spot for a bit of astronomy. Fully recommended.
This is a well kept site, not far from the hustle and bustle of Stirling, Glasgow or Edinburgh.
The pitches are very spacious and the toilet blocks are brilliant.
The play park is ok, though my four year old got bored of it quickly.
On the downside, it is difficult to empty / fill the waste / water, as it is up a slope, and tends to pull you down on the way back to your caravan.
There is plenty of leaflets available for activities, but I felt let down by the lack of local knowledge the wardens had.
I felt that they should have known about local walks and trails, and what was available for rainy days in Alloa.
Another downside was all the 'Keep off the grass' signs, I have two children, one who is four, and trying to keep him off the grass was very difficult, and he had to play ball on the gravel.
Just back from a fabulous couple of days at this beautiful site.
Great views of the hills including the Alva Glen where you can walk up to the cave at the top and see all the impressive waterfalls (care with little ones though as steep banks not always fenced) only a ten minute drive away.
Great for Stirling - Castle, Wallace Monument etc. Loads of easily accessible supermarkets but why bother when you can eat on a Monday evening in The Old Brewery buy one meal get one free (£31 for 4 including drinks with two steaks!
)Liked the fact you can pick your spot, both toilet blocks immaculate and playing BBC radio 2. Enjoyed watching the sun set over the Ochils with a wee glass of vino and only farmland as far as the eye could see stretching out in front of us.
You can stay late for a few more pounds if you want to make the most of your last day (Woman kind enough not to bother charging us for this) We will definitely be back.
Although this is a very large site, it is very well landscaped and pitches are very spacious. The views all round of the Ochil range are beautiful! It is separated into 2 areas, each with its own utility block. I cannot comment on the area with the play park and toilet block B (which I understand to be the newer one) as stayed near, and used block A, which I found to be okay but a bit dated. I didn't manage to get any hot water in the shower, as I noticed somebody else mentioned in their review, but thought at the time that I was doing something wrong as my husband managed to get a hot shower. Maybe this is only a problem at busy times? I also found the piped radio music to be a bit young, and heavy, for my taste! I had to use the washing machine, dryer and iron while there, and although the iron was free it was directly in front of the mens toilet door, which was not a great place to be standing for any length of time! Also the washing machine was quite expensive to other sites at £3.50, and the dryer was the same price but did not dry my clothes properly for this price which is annoying when its raining heavily! On the plus side there is TV hookup on every pitch suitable for Freeview, but do take your own length of cable as they charge £15 for this! Also avoid pitches 11 and 12 as they back onto a block of flats which has a barking dog and noisy children playing in the gardens. This really did disturb us, especially as the site is in such a beautiful tranquil area which was a shame. I think we would go back but would not pitch near to the flats next time!
Was able to pick the pitch which suited myself, had hardstanding with EHU and TV point. Pitches are large and well spaced apart, with some being on terraces, but no feeling of being overlooked.
Toilets and showers for both blocks were very clean and tidy with piped radio in. Showers were like being at home - could have hot water at the temperature you wanted.
Had problems with my van when I arrived but the owners were really helpful and sorted me out.
Storage area at end of site near dog walk was a bit untidy, but doesn't affect the overall site.
No paths outside the site, so extra care if walking due to the traffic speeding by.
First time visit to this lovely wee campsite and was not disappointed, the pitches are very large, hardstanding and well spaced out.
The toilet facilities are excellent,very clean with great showers.
There is a laundry area with an iron and ironing board also provided.
Upon arrival I was greeted by a very friendly woman on reception who was very helpful indeed.
The views from the site are lovely with the Ochil hills as a backdrop.
Give the Ochil glen walk a try, very nice and some lovely waterfalls, also the wee pub at the foot of glen car park ( I'm sure it was called No.5 ) is worth a visit to get some decent food at a reasonable price.
This site is very close to where we live and we used it as a testing ground for our initial foray into camping. It is clear that this site is geared primarily towards caravans and motorhomes but, nonetheless, we were given a very warm welcome and a very reasonably priced per person rate.
The most immediate drawback for tent campers is that - due to recent building of cabins and other improvements - there is a dwindling amount of grass space on which to pitch your tent. Having been a guest there a couple of years ago, I remember many tents being pitched on the area where the new cabins have been built and, in my opinion, there seeemed to be a more relaxed atmosphere on that occasion, and a much more open feel to the site.
The surrounding scenery is - of course - awesome, and the park is perfectly situated to give stunning views along the Ochil range. Amenities within walking distance are sparse; there is a pub in Fishcross and a small shop and a take-away in New Sauchie, but Alloa, Alva and Stirling are within easy reach by bus or car and have much more comprehensive amenities.
The facilities on the site are very good indeed. The toilet blocks are clean and comfortable (although there is piped radio music if that offends) and water and rubbish points abound. The site does have a small children's play area but it is rather tired and unloved. Having said that, it is nothing that a lick of paint and a spruce up wouldn't fix.
Overall a positive experience and the site is well-equipped and well-run. Just a few finer points would make all the difference.
Stayed for 3 nights on a fully serviced pitch, nice big areas with plenty of room to spread out.Great views over the Ochill hills and beyond.Dog walking area and two shower and toilet blocks, Block A is a bit run down, dirty mouldy shower curtains, 2 of the 3 showers only cold water coming from them, however a well run site, very clean, didn't like the radio on in the blocks playing rave music allday.
Used to live in Dumfermline,so knew the area well.Bring your supplies with you, there is some local shops within 3 miles, with a Asda stores in in Alloa
Visited this site for the first time in 4 years and was surprised how much it had changed. Owners have obviously invested a lot of money as they have opened up another area for more pitches, all hard standing, added more fully serviced pitches and built a new toilet block to cope with the increased capacity whilst renovating the old. There are also a few cabins which seem to be for sale and a number of seasonal pitches.
Location is great with views over the country side and is a great base for visiting Stirling and the many attractions of the local area.
Not much within walking distance of the site but there are plenty of supermarkets, shops, eateries etc a few miles away in Alloa and Alva with Stirling only 10 miles away.
Kids play area was good with plenty of space and all facilities were spotless.
Only gripe, and minor at that, is that the site provides storage facilities at the bottom of the new area and the pitches down there whilst good may feel like pitching in a storage facility.
Will definitely return and won't leave it so long this time.
Just been to woods caravan park Alva and was really impressed. Just had a few days off and decided to take wife away. Although site was very busy (and we didn't book) the owner made us feel welcome and managed to accommodate us for two nights.
Site was very clean with good clean toilets and showers (cleaned every day) it was also very peaceful and the views were outstanding even the heavy rain didn't ruin our short break.
I will definitely be back again for a bit longer next time. Go you wont be disappointed. Plenty of places close by for pub grub and plenty of sites, sterling castle, wallace monument to name just a few.
