 A one night stopover when heading south out of the highlands. This is a spacious, well laid-out site with good facilities and barrier-controlled entry and exit.

It's in a decent location with some pleasant views, as well as being a 20 minute walk into town which has a supermarket, several pubs and cafes, some nice independent shops and riverside gardens.

 Lovely quiet well-organised site, helpful warden, clean facilities.

Location close to town centre, and plenty of places to visit and walk in the surrounding area.

 Fabulous site.

Staff friendly and helpful.

Facilities 5* spotlessly clean. Wonderful disabled facilities, laundry etc.

Pitch size was generous and nicely spaced out. The grass areas made it all look very restful.

Although we had no children with us, the play area was fabulous and included an under cover play area.

Callander is also a lovely town with a great carpark that takes motorhomes which is also a bonus.

 If you like going to a site where fire safety regulations are adhered to I'd give this a miss, or should I say avoid the pitches that don't have a demarcation grass border.

Came back from an afternoon in the town to barely be able to get into our unit as a caravan had well encroached over the safety margin. This was to allow them to get a full awning up and park their pick up next to it. The old boy in the motorhome next to the pick up could have passed them a cuppa out his window without stretching!

Went to a warden to complain and was told as they had everything set up we'd have to move, thus encroaching on our neighbours pitch. I said about the pick up, warden said he tell them to put it in the car park, never happened. They also had teenagers sleeping in the awning against site rules, nothing done about it. And don't start about their dog left all day in the caravan barking it's head off, nothing done about it.

Toilets are an extension of the children's play area.

No TV signal and wifi not even worth a mention.

Bins are a schlepp from just about any pitch as they are in the entrance car park. I remember when they used to be dotted round the site.

The two dogs walks are some of the best bits of this site.

Doubt we will ever return, next time we'll try the other site.

 This is a large site in the town of Callander, with a good mixture of statics and touring pitches.

Facilities were modern and well maintained and staff on site friendly and helpful.

Easy walk to town with many local pubs, shops and places to eat.

Great walks and cycling right from the site.

Overall, an excellent base for visiting the Trossachs.

Reviewer: Fiona W 260 reviews from this member

 About half the pitches are seasonal, and placed around the perimeter - midweek, they were almost deserted, as was the touring area. A trek into Callander walking beside a busy A road, shops closed by 4pm, excellent speciality baker; hourly bus to Stirling via Doune, which we enjoyed for its castle (of Outlander & Monty Python knights fame) and walks.

Liked - site feels open & sunny, with neatly mown grass in the central space (this could have been filled with pitches) & views of the hills; 2 dog walk areas where she could run off-lead, the corner by the River Teith was best; the hardstanding EHU stanchions all have a tap and grey water drain; comprehensive recycling; good communication from the site - but why did I have to give our ages to make the booking online?

Disliked - dirty showers: sinks and toilets spotless, but "nobody cleans up after themselves, ever" said the cleaner; husband & I both had to use the squeegee before our showers or step into someone else's shower foam puddle - but an hour after we'd left them like we'd like to find them, they were flooded into the sink area, and then were awash again in the evening after the cleaner came late afternoon.

Showers free in the Ladies & Gents, but only 3 of each for 129 pitches, and there was a queue despite the site being nearly empty. The Family Rooms are like a bathroom at home (one has a bath!), those showers 20p for 3 minutes, but both evenings I had to squeegee the room to reach the sink & toilet without getting my shoes wet.

The lack of respect shown by a few people for other site users and the staff of the site was disappointing. Hopefully, if & when we return, we'll enjoy the clean showers that are praised in other reviews. £33 pn.

 We choose this site as its 15 minutes walk from the town of Callander ( footpath all the way).

On arrival our registration was in the system so barrier lifted automatically, no need to check in. Choice of any available pitch, there weren't that many as site hs probably 80% seasonal.

Pitches with grass between units were larger. There are rows on gravel which seemed tighter, especially where cars parked next to vans instead of in front.

Facilities are immaculate, good hot shower. There is a laundry / washing up room. Great enclosed dog walk where you are able to let them off lead.

Beautifully kept site, very peaceful, would use again if in area.

 A handy location on the immediate outskirts of Callander - easy walk into town centre which has all the necessary shops / cafes / bars / etc.

A few fully serviced pitches tucked away along one side, but most of site filled with seasonal caravan pitches and statics - I was surprised how few seasonals were occupied during weekdays, but it made for a quiet site.

Plenty of space for walking the dog and an enclosed wooded area for off-lead adventures. There is also a walk down to the River Teith which runs along one side of the site for a short distance.

The ablution facilities were very clean and well maintained - I have marked site facilities down a bit (7) mainly because there's little else provided - no shop or leisure options.

Staffing is very light, but the ones we encountered were friendly and helpful.

The main gripe is that they do not allow cars on site with motorhomes, claiming this is due to 'regulations', so must be left in car park which is not particularly large. The pitches are large enough to allow this. Since this was our 11th site stay this year, and no previous site had imposed this restriction, we found this rather odd.

 Lovely site just 1 mile out of Callander, easy walk into town.

The site is very well maintained and the facilities are immaculate.

Plenty of showers and toilets and a separate area to wash dishes and there are laundry facilities if you are staying longer.

We will definitely return here

 We really enjoyed our stay at this site. The location was ideal for walking into the town centre. The facilities were very clean and tidy at all times, We were impressed with the way the accommodations were set up and the enclosed dog walk.

If we were to mention anything it would be the short spurts of the shower but we can understand why this needs to be this way.

We liked the way email communications kept us up to date and gave us emergency numbers.
