Forfar Lochside Club Campsite offers a picturesque parkland location on the shores of the loch within Forfar Loch Country Park. The beautiful country park is ideal for dog walking, cycling or a quiet stroll through the trees with fantastic views - for keen walkers it is possible to walk round the entire loch!

Forfar is an excellent base from which to explore Glamis Castle (childhood home of the Queen Mother), the Angus Glens which offer spectacular hillwalking and the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of the Angus coast. For golf enthusiasts there are 16 courses within easy reach, including one in Forfar itself.

Fantastic site
Forfar campsite is a little gem. Pitches and facilities are spotless and well maintained It’s a short walk into Forfar town which has shops and eatery’s. A walk around the loch is a must at least once per day plenty wild birds and fantastic sunsets. Glamis castle worth a visit... Show more

Nice site
No complaints, nice site, well run with excellent facilities. Town of Forfar has lots of nice independent small shops and choice of places to eat and drink. A two night stay was perfect for a Motorhome if just walking within the town.
