Whilst this site may be older and the facilities not as new as some of the other sites we had a lovely visit even though it poured down! The way that the electrical points are higher than most sites, shows this site being so close to the river, has its issues but even though it rained so hard whilst we were there we did not have a problem moving around the site.
The walks to the falls in the centre of Killin, even better with all the rain, and the stone circle were lovely as well as options to walk bythe river. Many choices for dog friend pubs and food too but our favourite and a superb meal is at The Courie Inn - family run bistro who accommodated us and our pooch. Need to book as very busy and we were in October - hate to think what it is like in high season!
We will be back for more further afield walks in the new season and another dinner at the Courie - which means nestle and snuggle and thats what you get
Tired looking & requiring modernisation
Tired looking campsite requiring modernisation. The toilet block needs a complete revamp. The water draining from the showers is in a communal drain . The doors from some of the cubicles for washing were missing. The hair drier was at the washhand basins for the toilets & where the bins were. Very cramped. Some of the hard standing pitches were flooded. In the washing up area there were 3 sinks only 2 working which was ridiculous as the campsite was full. The campsite was shabby & looked as though it hadn’t been upgrade & modernised for quite some time. Very disappointed especially as the price was £33.90 per night with a £5 per day charge if you wanted WiFi. What a joke. Surely a campsite not up to standard should have a reduced rate. The wardens were very nice & can only do their best under the circumstances. We won’t be back.

Great facilities!
Very conveniently located site by Killin. We had a great couple of days hiking on Ben Lawers and the Tarmachan Ridge nearby, also enjoyed seeing the historic Moirlanich longhouse. Very good facilities on site, the only thing we lacked was somewhere to freeze our coolblocks...Cheers, Linda and Stewart
Great site, great location
A friendly welcome with spacious pitches. The site is clean and well maintained. Plenty of hot water in the shower blocks. Great location near to the village (coop supermarket & plenty of places to eat) and access into the forestry from by the falls or walks near the loch. Also now has the new premier wifi which is great. I will return.

Lovely location for walking, facilities clean but could use upgrade
Beautifull location, lovely walk to Loch Tay just from the campsite. Or to the Falls of Dochart via the old railway path. Also walking distance to the village and shops/restaurants/fish&chips van.
Facilities are clean but could use an upgrade. Very friendly welcome.
Beautiful location and area.
Spacious pitches and sufficient services albeit the facilities could use a fresh coat of paint. Hestitant to book initially due to the negative reviews of the facilities but the site is great in every aspect. Agree with earlier reviews that the facilities block is comprehensive, clean and quite functional but could use some paint and floor improvements We really enjoyed staying here and walked to the Killin hotel for an excellent dinner.
Disappointing return after 17 years
We last visited 17 years ago, at the time we were impressed with the site I recall; however the club appears to have invested very little in this site in the preceding 17 years, the facilities block, whilst clean, was in desperate need of refurbishment, the floors in particular are stained and discoloured and look pretty disgusting!
The CAMC proudly state there is a 7% pitch fee reduction on this site (and advertise the same fact on many others); but had they not increased the pitch fees over the preceding few years to such inflation busting amounts (and this is across the network as a whole) they wouldn't need to be offering such discounts!
The site is walkable into the town, which is nice, the location next to the river, and the views of the surrounding hills are very nice.
To attract customers CAMC need to further review their pricing policy, and invest in facilities such as at this site, otherwise customers such as us, and others, will desert to better value for money options, and they are out there!
facilities need updating for the price the club chaarge for this site.
the site facilities need updating for the price the club charge or need reducing in price ,because of the state of facilites.
Amazing viewn etc.
What a lovely site , great walks from the site and a short stroll into Killin which has a few shops and a choice of places to eat , mostly all dog friendly. The shower block could definitely benefit from updating however it was clean and warm. Pitches are level with some having no tv reception but the wardens explained this on arrival and told us which pitches had sun etc. No dog walk on site but lovely walks from the site. Highly recommended .
Nice location
Lovely location right next to the river surrounded by mountains, Forrest and Lochs. Standard Caravan and Motorhome club pitches etc.
Really warm and organised check in from the wardens set the tone for a lovely stay.
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.
