 We have been to this site several times and the wardens Judith & Ronnie are very pleasant the site is a credit to them. The toilets, showers etc are spotless and heated. The reception is full of local information, books, games and magazines to borrow if it is raining.
There is a lovely playpark just outside the park. Shops are minutes away. A van comes round in morning that sells rolls & papers etc. And also an ice cream van comes too.
Price 14.50 per night no extra for awning or electric hook up some pitches even have water hook up. The site is always busy and you need to book in advance we have been disappointed several times as we left it too late to book. All in all a great site.

This is one of our favourite sites for our caravan. The park occupies a great location next to the loch and we walk round it several times daily. We've also enjoyed a summer drink at the cricket club whilst sitting outside in glorious sunshine watching a match, and we've done very similar at the rugby club too. I've reviewed this site previously and would re-iterate all my previous points but unfortunately have to make some minor criticisms since our last two visits this year.
On one occasion the warden called through the awning to ask my wife to be quiet at 11.15pm. She was simply saying goodnight to our young sons who were sleeping in the awning annexe. We are a decent respectable family and saying goodnight to our sons is hardly antisocial behaviour and I do not appreciate being told off like a school-child for doing it. I think that this was somewhat over the top.
Whilst I understand that keeping the noise down after 11pm. Is a reasonable request, it is a caravan park, not a library and it is most unreasonable to berate people for using a normal speaking voice.

Excellent site, will definitely be back! Greeted by the elderly wardens who seemed to be temporary and very nice, Nothing was a problem and the kids were free to play. Toilets very clean and warm, all was relaxed. Aldi, tesco and local amenities close to the park with a nice 2-1/4 mile stroll round the loch, takes a good 45 minutes. Community centre within 1 minute walk and large playpark.
The second wardens were not so pleasant in the slightest, within 5 minutes of arrival 'The Sherriff' was out barking orders! Get off the grass, 'play on the road' he said to my 3 year old daughter? I got the impression from regulars him and his wife would not be missed!

Chose this site after great reviews here. On arrival there was no staff at reception. There was a map taped on desk indicating tent area which seemed to be behind / side of reception, being new to the park and having a new tent I thought I'll check with the warden who was cutting grass at the time before pitching. He informed me pleasantly just pitch where you like behind / side of reception just leave room for cars.
After a short walk around and deciding to pitch my tent beside a nearby tent, imagine my frustration after unpacking and connecting poles within his view he then came over to tell me I was in the wrong area. Aarggh. After biting my lip. Moved over 20 metres to set up. After settling down we found this to be a very good site worthy of previous comments / however if you are a light sleeper there is some church bell that chimes every hour through the night.

Just returned from a 2 night stay at Lochside and can only agree totally with previous comments. A lovely clean site with warm toilet and showering facilities. An under cover washing up area and always HOT water.
An ice cream van visited the site when we were there as did the van previously mentioned. Great park for our 2 boys (aged 5 & 7 years), plenty to do at leisure centre, pitch and putt, crazy putting, tennis and more.
The walk round the Loch is lovely especially if you get a hot sunny day ( I know this rarely happens!), Would recommend this site for families, as there is a strict rule about noise after 11pm, which we appreciate.
Aldi and Lidl only a 5 minute walk from site to stock up. Great site and would return. Just a quick note site only accepts cash or cheques, no debit or credit cards.

Stayed overnight, another trial run out with the TT. Would agree with the previous reviews. Warders really friendly, which is always a plus. The site was quiet and well maintained. Toilet block was lovely and warm, clean, plenty of toilets, there were 4 showers. In the toilet area, cloths for each wash hand basin (to clean up any mess) and a mop in the showers were provided. EHU and water supply on the pitch.
Kids play area kept our three occupied, 5 and 7 year olds. Park is just over a wooden fence could keep an eye on them from our pitch.
Will be going back soon. The park gets fully booked over the coming months, so best to book well in advance.

We've just returned from a weekend at this site and would agree with other reviewers that it is well kept, clean and the owners are helpful. There was a key for the toilet / laundry / information area. The play area one of the best I've seen on campsites and is particularly suitable for younger children.
Having the loch alongside the park is great and a few ducks came to visit us! We paid £14 per night - that was with no ehu. Although no shop on site there is a van that comes every morning (about nineish?) with newspapers etc but it's only 5 mins walk to Forfar high street.
At first when we phoned and said we had an 8-man tent they said they didn't take 8-man tents anymore! However seeing as it was just for a weekend they agreed to take us. On arrival they asked what kind of tent it was (it's a tunnel tent) and said they'd had problems the year before with 'spider-shaped' tents and not being able to fit many in the tent area.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay here.

Just returned from a two night stay here. The site seemed to be at full capacity. The hard standing EHU sites were full so we were situated on the neatly cut grass along with the tents. The wardens were helpful. The toilet block containing at least 8 toilets was spotlessly clean. There are four ladies showers which got busy only at peak time around 9am when you had a short wait. There is everything you need on site.an iron and ironing board which works with 20p, also a washing machine and tumble dryer. Dishwashing room and waste disposal on site too. Lots of literature for things to do. Despite the site being full there was no rowdy noise.
The loch is situated just outside the back gate of site and is a 2 1/2 mile walk around.Very scenic. Also just outside the park gate is a kiddies playpark and also leisure centre.
The shopping town of Forfar is a 5 min walk away. Plenty shops including good chippie.
I can highly recommend and will most definitely be returning to this site.

We have visited here four times now and are returning in a week's time. We stayed for the long Easter weekend and as usual were made very welcome.
The helpful wardens on site assisted in setting up, and showed a genuine interest in us (they had trouble trying to identify my caravan!)
The fees are more than reasonable, £12.00 for everything and I also had mains water hook-up. I've paid in excess of £25.00 for less. Great almost level pitches, well kept grass, good access road all set next to Forfar Loch.
There is a football pitch close by where local youth matches are held, and another at the social club next door where the local amateur team plays. The members of the social club are usually more than happy to sign you in, and the drink is social club cheap! Walking around the loch takes about an hour (it is easily cycle and wheelchair accessible too) and takes you past the football pitch, then two rugby pitches and finally a cricket ground. Dogs are welcome too, except in the large children's play area.
There generally seems to be a good crowd here too, no rowdies, and this may be due to the fact that there is no clubhouse on site. Whatever the reason, there has never been any bother at all when we've stayed, and my nine year old boy always makes pals.
The town is next door, with a choice of small local shops and also large stores, such as Aldi, Lidl and Tesco. We were staying once for the town Gala Day and thoroughly enjoyed it too.
The reception has a free book exchange and lots of information regarding things to do and see, places to go, walks etc.
Definitely well worth a visit.

We stay here quite regularly, never had any problems. There's a children's play park. Nice walk round the loch. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Toilets are clean and tidy. Quite good for shopping in the town.
