Our first club site

We stayed here for just 2 nights in June in our motorhome and this was our first experience of a club site. We prefer the quieter CLs but needed a stopover for a couple of nights. On the whole we enjoyed it more than we expected as we were able to pitch in the 'cul-de-sac' at the bottom end of the site which was less crowded and our pitch overlooked the river. Others have mentioned the tired shower and toilet facilities but they were kept spotlessly clean and we also made use of the laundry facilities. The site managers were very welcoming and helpful and there is a good information room with details of walks, bike rides etc. Killin is a nice little town, easily walkable from the site and we enjoyed a lovely bike ride around the lanes. If you like the larger club sites, this is a very peaceful site in an excellent location.

Lovely location

Lovely location with mobility scooter accessible/dog walks into Killin. Good for site seeing too. The midges and ticks were in residence, but there’s not a lot can be done about that! Friendly site, kept clean by the team.

something nt quite right

This is a nice site but requires some work - the pitches are a good size but did have a lot of weeds and no idea when the grass was last cut the staff were fine but did not tend to see them in the morning - appeared at 1pm ready for opening The facilities block ws clean enough but very tired looking and needs ugrading on the whole not what we are used to on any other club site - cant put our finger on it but something was not quite right

Great Location

We used the online booking system for a one night stay which seemed to work OK - £25 deposit paid and the balance collected automatically on the morning of our arrival. However, at £37 for two adults, this was the most expensive site of our four week tour which may account for why there was plenty of availability. Site is barrier controlled, very open and predominantly flat, bordered on one side by a river. Pitches are of a good size and level. Lovely welcome from friendly wardens and the setting of the site is superb. Plenty of walking nearby and an easy walk into Killin and the Falls of Dochart. Small Co-op, cashpoint, post office and good choice of cafes/eating places if required. A revisit would very much depend on the price!!

A real gem

Just spent a night here on our way up north. Fabulous reception from the warden. She couldn’t have been more helpful. The site is very well maintained and the facilities cleaned to a very high standard. The field opposite for walking the dogs is ideal, views are great and the site is so peaceful. Couldn’t ask for any more. If you want a superb takeaway go to the Capercaillie who will do a takeaway from their main menu at a very good price. The Haddock and chips was superb and again very helpful and friendly staff

Too many inflexible rules

The site is in a great location and the plots are generous. I had a problem with the inflexibility of the rules though. When we arrived I couldn't find my membership card and was told I wasn't allowed on without showing it. I could show the booking emails in my own members name but that wasn't enough, no card, no entry. Fortunately I found it or we would have been heading home. No flexibility and no willingness or attempt to help, just to stick to the rule. Then our friend who had also booked for Friday and Saturday nights couldn't make it on time on Friday so arrived Saturday morning, paid for the 2 nights but then couldn't enter the ground and park her van. Check in isn't until 1300. The ground wasn't busy, she'd paid for the space, why not bend the rule a little and let her come in? But no, you can't come in until 1300, regardless. So she was told to go and park in the village until 1300. I understand that you need rules but also some common decency as to how you apply them.

Lovely Site/Outstanding Scenery

It has been many years since we visited this site and we were not disappointed. The site is lovely and the views are outstanding. Brilliant dog walks and very handy for walking into Killin. The Wardens could not have been more helpful and they keep the site clean and tidy. The only negative is the toilet/shower block has definitely seen better days and is well past its sell by. It is not cheap to stay on this site and compared to other sites we have stayed on that are cheaper and the facilities are immaculate, there is no comparison. So come on Caravan and Motorhome Club, get the facilities upgraded, you charge us enough.

Lovely site

This is my second visit to Maragowan it’s ideal to be able to walk into killin. I had a good mobile and internet signal via 3 network. Yes the shower block might need a bit of TLC but there clean. The wardens were great too. I will be back again no doubt.

Lovely site, great staff

Super location, right on the river. Facilities kept really clean and plenty of waste disposal, bins, taps. Staff were really enthusiastic and friendly. We had a lovely riverfront pitch and staff were happy with us parking the motorhome nose in to get the view. Lovely walks down to the loch and minutes in to town. Eat at the Courie Inn…great food, dog friendly and family run. A real gem of a pub/restaurant! We will be back. Wifi was very slow.. averaged 0.4mbps so I paid for a week and used my phone as a hotspot….

Nice but expensive

Stayed overnight. Arrival was seamless, friendly staff to book in & give overview. Toilets & showers are years past their best, giving a false impression of unhygienic. Felt this site was expensive in comparison to other CAMC sites we have just stayed at.
