 This is a potentially excellent site. You are next to the river Lochay, in sight of Ben Lawers and Meall na Tarmachan, and 10 minutes stroll from a town that has most things you'll need and want.

It's easy to get to and to find, just be aware that the road along the north shore of Loch Tay has a few narrower places where care is needed if there are larger vehicles oncoming, the trade off is the beautiful view over Loch Tay itself.

One facilities block, that shows a few small signs of age, but 100% useable, and like the rest of the site, kept in pristine condition. The wardens were friendly and humorous, and always seemed busy doing something.

So why 5 out of 10? Sadly, mainly due to some of the other guests who seemed to have zero respect for other campers and no idea about campsite etiquette - despite what is written on the usual CAMC map and campsite guide they were given upon arrival.

The issue is the river that runs along the edge of the site; a number of pitches back onto it, and we were on one of them. However people were walking through our pitches and behind our van to get to the river, and treating the rear of other pitches as a footpath along the river. This included a dog having a crap 5 yards from where we were sat outside eating one evening.

I asked the wardens if we were reading the rules wrong, or would we be out of order to ask other people to respect our privacy, and were told we were in the right, but "it's just one of those things".

It was also an issue for a couple that stayed next to us with two nervous dogs; they had used windbreaks to screen their pitch off from the road way so as to keep their dogs calm in the presence of other dogs. All this counted for nothing when dog walkers came along the back of their pitch on a regular basis. Both the campers and the dogs ended up very stressed.

Overall, if you stay away from the riverside pitches, or don't mind eating your dinner while people let their dogs crap next to you, you'll be ok, but the CAMC should take control of this issue.

 We spent a lovely 3 nights on this site. It is very scenic, surrounded by hills and with the river running along one side.

The facilities block is a bit tired but was kept spotless. When they are closed for cleaning there is a single unisex toilet available.

The village seems to have plenty of pubs and cafes, we only used the small Co-op store.

Reviewer: Fiona W 260 reviews from this member

 Came up to see the glorious Falls of Dochart with fabulous autumn leaves - one of the top 10 sites in Scotland for autumn colour and they did not disappoint. Nor did the site - we chose a pitch one row back from the River Lochay because there's a high-voltage cable over the riverside pitches.

Had a struggle with the EHU, not because it was 1 metre higher than usual (due to flooding, I guess, or else this area would have houses on it) but because you had to turn the socket & push a button or some such; got there eventually.

Awesome views NE to the hills that run west of Ben Lawers. Facilities block closed 11:00-11:45, and the sinks had all been cleaned in the evening without the block being closed. No Wi-Fi. And only one radio station. Good 4G signal.

Lots of interest in Killin; there's a historical walk that's interesting; plenty of places to eat & pop into the Post Office as it's now an excellent community shop selling papers etc; the Old Mill has a working undershot wheel, interesting exhibitions & an excellent craft shop. And the Falls. More rapids than waterfalls, but find a seat and just watch: mesmerising.

A good walk back - follow the signs to the Public Toilets beyond the Co-op, join the old railway line over the river, then walk along the river bank (grass path) to the head of Loch Tay, keep going until you reach a beautiful grove of ancient oak trees and a narrow tarmac road, this will take you back past ruined (and private) Finlarig castle, the well-tended cemetery, over the river again and back to the site. (Or in reverse. ) Dog on lead off the road, as there's stock in the fields.

 3 nights here. Lovely, helpful wardens again, the facilities were as clean as you’d expect from CAMC, albeit a little dated compared to others.

It has clearly rained a lot there recently, there are a lot of weeds on the pitches. Some parts of the site had recently flooded apparently.

A beautiful area to explore, both on foot and by car.

Nice pub and tea room in the village.

 Lovely location right next to the river surrounded by mountains, Forrest and Lochs. Standard Caravan and Motorhome club pitches etc.

Facilities long overdue for an upgrade although the showers were hot. The site would benefit from some fully serviced pitches.

Good WiFi and reasonable TV signal. Ten minute walk into Killin with plenty of places to eat and a few shops including a large Co-op.

Plenty to see in the area including the Falls of Docherty, Loch Tay, Loch Earnhead, Kenmore, Aberfeldy and not much further to Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Crieff, Pitlochry, Perth etc.

Reviewer: REFR 8 reviews from this member

 Everything was fine.

There's a great drying room for wet weather gear and wetsuits.

But I still feel £24.80 is expensive as a solo traveller and not using ehu.

A meter for ehu or a discount for not using it would be very welcome.

 Stayed here for 4 nights, weather was beautiful. Welcome when we arrived was great and you get to pick your pitch.

The site has some lovely views and walks.

Main road to Aberfeldy ran behind our pitch but it was quite quiet, only bother we had was barking dogs. Don't mind dogs but not when they're left to bark all the time.

Toilets were clean but in need of upgrade. Would go back again.

 Lovely site, ten mins walk into Killin village. Would recommend booking ahead for the local pubs /hotel as we tried a few places before finding space at a lodge type restaurant/ bar. The Capercaillie. Busy place with youngsters, locals and visitors. Food was average, nothing special.

The Falls of Dochart are literally in the village. Beautiful. Even though it was pouring rain. Very nice gift shop across the road to the Falls.

Shutters Tea room is worth a visit, lovely staff and very nice food.

Lovely walk to Loch Tay. About twenty minutes from the campsite. The loveliest loch we saw on our travels apart from our favourite, Loch Ness.

In walking back into the village from the Loch, you pass the Co-op, ideal for supplies.

There is only one amenities block at the site. Quite dated but clean.

We only stayed here two nights. Was nice to see the Falls and the Loch. Would stop here again but only as a short stopover.
