Had 6 great nights at the Clachan over the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend. This is a gem of a site with peace and quiet being the best point. The volunteer wardens are a credit to the site, always on the go grass cutting, strimmering and making the new dog walk. They have also made a herb garden using old fire buckets - very attractive entrance point. The herbs are good as well. Checking in at Maragowan is not an issue for us as everyone is processed on a speedy basis. Whilst this site is a little bit out of the village it is certainly within walking distance. Aslo there are several good cycle runs closeby. Will definitely be booking our third visit this year.
Lovely site
We had two nights here on our way up to the Highlands and two again on the way back, the first two we had a lower pitch and found it was a bit close to the road, although not a major issue, we stayed on one of the higher pitches at the top of the site on the way back and found it much quieter with a nice view. Janet and Andrew were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming on both visits. Checking in at Marragowan was not a problem for us, everything was organised well by all of the wardens. Killin is a very nice little village, well worth a visit. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Scotland.

Pleasant quiet site
Helpful, but unobtrusive warden (Andrew, if I remember). Road into village is busy and not really suitable for walking. You can walk accross the lovely golf course and have a drink or food in the clubhouse.

Tour of Scotland
Lovely quiet site, ideal location for 2 nights. Don’t like the process to book in at other site as at time of arrival there was a queue & had to stop on road, not ideal as on a bend! Surely at busy times they should let vans in and pitch up.The male warden at Maragowan needs training on his customer service skills, as smile costs nothing and wasn’t very helpful as we had issues with our caravan tyre. The volunteer warden at Clachan was very chatty!
Enjoyable stay
We stayed at Clachan for three nights whilst touring Scotland. Had to book in at Maragowan Site and people where queuing when we arrived, so parked in public car park in Killin and walked back to book in. By then queue had dispersed and we were welcomed by a very nice warden who then directed us up the road to Clachan. Again the site was quite full, the warden there was helpful and informative and we enjoyed our stay on this wooded site. Access by foot to path to Killin was not obvious but we found our way across a field and golf course. Several cafes and shops in the village and an excellent Co-op. Well worth a visit but we have a small motor home and a car would have been useful!
Quiet if unexpected!
Arrived here for a single night. Initially were confused by the 2 sites. Did find the female warden quite abrupt.
The actual site was lovely, quite a tricky entrance and pitches are situated throughout the forest. Some are quite small and tricky to access. Very peaceful with good access by car to Killin. Enjoyed our takeaway from the Courie Inn.
Far from the expected standard
On first visit the motorhome service area was closed. On second visit we were given a site that was too small, the previous occupant had run over the electric point because the site was too small, the mains electric did not work, the pitch was grass not what we thought we had booked and the site was sloping in two different locations. Not what we expect for a C& MH Club site.
Beautiful!!!!
When we arrived you had to book into the larger site about a mile away, where you are given a code to the barrier. Staff were really nice, chirpy, happy and helpful even though the poor chap was so busy! When we arrived at Clachan, we were surprised at the beauty of each pitch as well as the peace. It was so quiet. Plenty of birds, we were even lucky enough to spot a red squirrel! There are no facilities for washing up, toilets or showers which didn’t bother us at all! There was an information kiosk with so many leaflets with things to do pretty much all over Scotland. The dog walk is pretty through the trees but a little small but perfect for our little pooch though. No where really for a run, however with the surrounding countryside, who needs it. Would highly recommend!!!!!
Great Location
This site is in a great location and is really beautiful. The pitches can be challenging for twin axles without movers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay apart from as a previous reviewer stated the smell of raw sewage at certain times. While we were there the road was being used by a large number of noisy motor bikes but for the main the road was relatively quiet. The TV reception was non existent with a round status Ariel and although the site says there is wifi it is not site wide, On the whole a great site but it seems to be a dog magnet so if you don't like dogs yapping or barking then be warned. Also why does the club have a lead rule for dogs, and not enforce it, as it seems only the minority abide by it ??
Good location
Good location, set far enough away from the A827 for it to not be noisy. Lots of trees on the site with plenty of bird life. Site is a particularly nice layout.
Unfortunately when we arrived we had a choice of two pitches and ended up on 24. It absolutely stinks, from the motor home servicing point just down the hill. We’d advise anyone to avoid this part of the site. Eating your dinner outside with the smell of sewage isn’t particularly enjoyable.
Shortest dog walk of any site we’ve ever stayed at so you’ll probably end up walking round the whole site with your pooch.
