Riverside Site

It's been well over 20 years since we last visited this site. Turning off the A85 towards Killin I even remembered the Lix Toll Garage where we had to have a tyre changed all those years ago! In many ways in all those years nothing has really changed about the site that I can remember. The toilet block is of the older variety but perfectly serviceable. Good to see open grill waste water disposal at the motorhome service point. After rain, fairly common in this part of the world, some of the hardstandings hold surface water for a while. I was surprised to get a decent 4G signal on site. The village is a short walk from the site and there are several places to eat or just to have a coffee. There is a useful small Co-Op supermarket. The main tourist attraction of Killin is the Falls of Dochart which is at the opposite end of the village from the site. One advantage of the rain is that it makes the Falls even more dramatic! Those with their own transport can tour further afield from the site. There is a fairly infrequent bus service from the village to Callander.

Excellent as ever

Our fifth visit to Maragowan. 1. All good as in previous years. 2. Wardens - friendly, informed, approachable, efficient. 3. Site facilities - a little dated but clean and well managed. 4. Walks - varied and suitable all weather. Check out the circular walk to the Hydro station. 5. Well stocked Co-Op in town. 6. Tips - A) Canoe launch from site direct to river - just check with wardens. B) Reserve a table online at the Courie Inn. C) Take binoculars and walk down to loch shore in evening light for great views.

Stop over on way to Orkney

Stopped here for 2 nights. Lovely well run site by the river and easy to walk into the town. Beautiful walk along the edge of Loch Tay past a ruined castle, and the waterfalls at the other end of the town. The walk up the hill through the recreation ground is very steep but great views from the top and we did see a red squirrel in the woods. Stopped again for 1 night on our return and would certainly come back.

Bit soggy

This was our second visit to Maragowan, the last being several years ago . We received a warm welcome on our arrival from the site warden. The communal facilities were kept impeccably clean and tidy by the staff, no easy task given how busy the site was. Killin seems to have lost several of it shops, perhaps inevitable effect of seasonal tourism, but the Co-op is well stocked with all the essentials. Unfortunately our visit to the site coincided with some extremely heavy rain, the consequence of which was our pitch became completely inundated with 2 or 3 inches of water. It appears that some folk had received advice on arrival from wardens on which pitches to avoid, unfortunately we didn't. Equally unfortunate was leaving our Wellingtons at home, making the packing up a rather damp affair. We could have moved to another pitch but, given we had only one more night booked, we cut our losses and moved on.The weather is often wet in this part of the world, it was a bit disappointing that the pitch collected rather than shed water. We will return sometime in future, perhaps in a different month and definitely to a different pitch.

Great site

We received a very friendly welcome at the site, facilities explained and we even had a choice of pitches. Facilities very good and site well maintained. Lots of fabulous walks all very dog friendly. Village nearby with lots of shops, pubs and of course the waterfalls. Would thoroughly recommend.

Staff here are so kind and helpful, my first solo trip and managed to wreck the jockey wheel! Brent sorted me out with calm good humour and patience and I had a great few days. ( All fixed now). Really lovely site, one to return to.

Great Site

Loved this site with its spectacular location, ease of access to Killin and to cycle routes. Try cycling alongside Loch Tay to Kenmore (it's not flat though) or up Glen Lochay and do the old Moirlanich Longhouse. Plenty of walks too. Philanmary

Weekend break

This is a lovely organised Caravan Park. The staff are friendly and helpful and everything is clean and kept in excellent condition. We visited as a couple (as we got the weekend off from the kids) and had a lovely time, we would however be a little hesitant at bringing our kids to this park as there's very little for them to do on site. The play park on site is very small and there's not really much else for children that we saw. If you have active children this maybe isn't the place to bring them. Apart from that we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this park.
