Good for families

Pleasant, satisfactory site but not outstanding

First time we have been to the Forfar site, staying 3 nights. Our arrival was problematic because we missed the small caravan sign on the main road. It was not the usual Caravan Club Site sign. Why not? Something that East Grinstead should look into in conjunction with Angus Council?? We expected to queue with a 1.00am opening time and of course because of Covid procedures. We do prefer a noon arrival to maximise the afternoon. However the Warden was extremely efficient and helpful and we entered the site to find it busy, no surprise in peak school holiday season. We thought ourselves fortunate to find a pitch with early August sunshine from 8.00am until 7.00pm, unusual on a site surrounded by high trees. Beyond that there were noise issues from the local football field but fortunately only for one long evening. Diagonally opposite a busy children's play area would be a highlight for parents with young children. The site was well maintained with the large grass areas being kept mown and neat. The toilet block was clean and spacious with service points always spotless. The hard standing pitches were generous and level with a few pitches being grassy. Tents occupy a large central area near the toilet block. Being next to Forfar Loch had obvious advantages for exercise whether walking or cycling. The circular was approx 3 miles. The town was within easy walking distance, Forfar itself is central to many places that have their own attractions, some which we sampled - Pitmuies Garden, cycleways on the Arbroath - Broughty Ferry coastline and the sandy beach at Lunan Bay. Threatening showers kept us away from the easily reached, appealing glens and hills. All in all a busy site which is kept in good order by Kris and Phil, the welcoming Wardens.
