 Chose this site for one night to try out folding camper for the first time. Staff on arrival were very helpful and we were very pleased with the facilities although the toilets were up on the hill away from the main site. Despite this they are very clean.
Having lived near this area all our lives we know it very well and would recommend a visit to Callander, about 20 minutes drive.

We have visited this site lots of times, it is handy for us because it is not far away from where we stay. The site itself is smallish and has The River Forth running down one side of it, if you stay in the campsite you get free fishing. The shop has just the basics and the site is kept tidy, the toilets are usually clean, but sometimes when its busy there can be a wait. There is a small playpark for the children, the midges can be bad at times due to the treelined riverbanks. There are lots of nice walks here and also great places for cycling, Aberfoyle is nearby and provisions and anti Midge spray can be bought here, the river has a good bit for swimming further up the path from the site which leads to the picnic area.

Despite the absolutely disgusting weather when we visited, we really liked this site. Tucked away along the banks of the Forth and at the edge of a huge area of forest, the site has a mixture of pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, with a couple of hardstanding areas.
There's a kids playground that alas when we visited was pretty much unusable due to being a complete mud pit (although to be honest our boys had fun in the mud just the same!). The showers are in a separate block from the loos and are ok, though felt ever so slightly in need of a little TLC (though to be honest they were clean and had plenty of hot water). Loos were spotless.
The site is a 10 min bike ride from Aberfoyle with its various touristy things to do and see (and a fabulous kids playground on the cycle track). There's also a multitude of marked out forest walks to do. The site manager was really friendly and helpful, and overall the site had a really good feel to it, very friendly. Recommended.

This was my first ever camping experience and I am totally hooked on it now, this campsite was brilliant, we were right on the rivers edge and even the rain couldnt dampen the amazing scenery.
The showers are excellent and spotlessly clean as are the toilets, I have a kidney disorder and have to use the loo a few times a night which I was worried about but they were very well lit. The lady (eileen) in the office / shop was extrememly nice and helpful. I just had the best time ever and cant wait to go back.
The camp was filled with all different walks of life from families with toddlers and single people to foreigners and teenagers. We even saw a wildcat on the way to Rob Roys view, what more could you want.

Just spent a lovely weekend here over the bank holiday. Site is not that large but it is very nice. There is space for tents with EHU but you do end up in between the caravans. For tents without EHU there is plenty of space right infront of the river that runs alongside the site.
Toilets and showers are fine but as usual do seem to be at the opposite end from where most of the tents were pitched. The wardens were excellent, really helpful during our stay and did enforce the spacing out rule. The site was full on the Saturday and it did seem to have trouble keeping up with the demand for electricity at peak times with the electric switching of on a few occasions. Apart from that I really enjoyed my time there, the site is in a lovely area, with lots of walks just from the end of the site. It is also very close to the cycle network which you can use to walk into Aberfoyle (1.5 miles away)
Would return again, was very relaxing.

We chose this site for our first ever caravanning experience as we've camped here several times with friends and our kids. Lovely friendly site, quiet, good playground area, fab walk through the woods to picnic site and paddling area. Toilets are always clean with secure entry code system and separate individual shower block. Onsite shop is basic but you are close to Aberfoyle and its shops so not a problem.
Ok, there are midges, but not enough to spoil your holiday! Will be coming back as very handy for short weekend breaks for us. Well worth a visit if you're looking to get away from it all!

We stayed in this site for almost a week and had a great time. My kids loved it (aged 2 and 6). The staff were very helpful, they really couldn't do enough to help us. Even found my lost sunglasses! Toilets were kept clean, laundry and dish washing facilities were good. No midges at this time of year either. Forestry ranger took us out a walk and was very informative and played a game with the kids. The play park was good but of little interest to my 2 year old. The play stuff was too big for her. The surrounding walks were excellent and many were suitable for a buggy to be taken on. The David Marshall Centre was excellent for walks, info and play facilities. Highly recommend this site and area. The only area they could improve on was that there was no recycling at the site, but they are working on this.

Stayed for 5 days at the beginning of the summer holidays, the site is surrounded by trees with lots of birdlife and a large stream running along one side of the site. The down side of this was the large numbers of midges - even bathed head to toe in insect repellent we couldn't sit outside the tent in the evening comfortably.
The laundry and shower block were both spotless and large enough for the size of the site. There was a small playground for children and the pitches were generously sized. The on-site shop had a decent range of basic essentials and staff were really helpful in giving us information about the local area.
Nearby Lake of Menteith is good osprey-spotting territory, which we did while havingan excellentmeal in the Port of Menteith Hotel restaurant. There are some great walks nearby and the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park visitor centre has the most stunning views. Aberfoyle is 5 minutes away in the car, has a couple of decent pubs, co-op and a good tourist info centre.

Just spent 2 days on this site. Only 2 downsides, no signal on mobile if T Mobile and no signal for tv.
Great site nice toilet block and separate shower block nice and clean. People at reception very friendly and helpful.
It rained for a full day and night so the grass got very waterlogged, take your wellies.
Good location, only 5 minutes drive from Aberfoyle.

We stayed here for 2 nights over a weekend in order to go the the newly opened Go Ape in Aberfoyle. We loved this site, it is kept very neat and tidy, and the stream running past is very picturesque. It is off a minor road so there is very little traffic noise.
Facilities were fairly modern and very clean and only a couple of minutes walk from the furthest point on site. There were just enough showers for a full site and they were hot and free.
It was crowded on the Saturday night with tents pitched really quite close together - there was lots of snoring to be heard!
Being in a forest clearing the midges were vicious! Mosquito nets advised.
It was half way between Gartmore and Aberfoyle, with a really good flat straight cycle path into Aberfoyle.

Brilliant site, really peaceful, beside the river and lovely forest walks into Aberfoyle. Great pubs there and a supermarket in case you need provisions! Kids play park really well maintained (in fact the whole site is!), shop well stocked and the people who run the site obviously care and do their best. Toilets and showers pretty basic but clean. Always a favourite :-)

Stayed for three nights on this pleasant site with wife & our girls (8 +11). Had a great time. Toilets / showering facilities all well kept, the site is situated away from the main road so most peaceful. If you take a walk through the wood at the rear of the campsite there is a lovely spot on the river where kids can paddle - spent a good few hours there! Agree with the youngsters comments about the garden centre (Guyana), a must if you visit Aberfoyle. Will be back for sure.

I am 11 yrs old and I love camping!
I have been going to cobleland since 2002 for short stays and I love it.
There is a cool park that has nice soft bark so you don`t brake your head when you fall.
The shop(which is also the reception)sells yummy sweets from 1p and lots more goodies.
A wee walk though the woods and you will find a nice medow area with a peeble beachy bit leading into the river forth.
Me,my little sister and my cute wee dog have had loads of fun with friends and family.
There is a bit to paddle in and a bit for swimming in.
Aberfoyle is 1 and a half miles away and there is a cycle path that takes you about 20 minutes to walk from the campsite.
If you are going into Aberfoyle you have to go into Guyana,a garden centre with a difference, all my family love it !
I would recommend this wee site to everyone though remember your Avon skin so soft as the midgies do bite have fun.

Excellent location set by the river Forth which was shallow and tranquil with occasional trout rising, further upstream about 600 yards there is Lamhamish pool where kids can safely splash around in the shallow waters.
The on site facilities were more than adequate and there is a kids play area and a small shop with the usual necessities in stock. The other campers were all very friendly and there were no rowdie lager louts over the weekend.
Site is extremely handy for the Trossachs and Loch Lomond and my three ten year olds and I had a great time.
Nearest bar Rob Roy Hotel or visit Aberfoyle. Drymen and Callander are both within a ten mile radius.

What a lovely little site! We decided on the spur of the moment last Sunday morning to take our first trip of the year and headed up towards Aberfoyle. We were not disappointed. All of the Bank Holiday traffic was long gone, and the roads were completely clear. The only time we had to slow down was for a herd of sheep and lambs in the road just outside Longtown in Cumbria.
Unfortunately for a lot of people, the weather had been pretty wet until that morning and several people had left. However, when we arrived, it was a warm and sunny evening and we found a good pitch right on the river bank.
The site is quite small and although there were plenty of families with children, there was little noise, as they all tried to catch fish in the picturesque river.
I can only assume the toilet and shower facilities have been replaced since the last reviews were submitted, as we found them more than adequate, with showers in a separate block, all individual little rooms with their own entrance. I think this is a good arrangement, as it removes the risk of 15 women queuing for a shower when there are none of the men's being used, or vice-versa. Clever! Facilities were good all-round and after a good meal, we walked the mile and a half up to Gartmore and the Black Bull pub. Roaring open fires and 21 year-old whiskies awaited and did not disappoint. There is a free mini-bus pick up from the campsite and free return home for those who might be daunted by the walk. Just ask at the camp shop. The couple who run the site were really lovely and eager to help.
There is of course Aberfoyle itself with a few pubs and restaurants and the sheep-dog display, But we preferred the traditional pub.
All in all, a wonderful trip, that felt much longer than the day and a half it really was. We will return!
