A week in Killin
The location is excellent, nestled between the overlooking Scottish highlands on the edge of the unspoilt and beautiful small town of Killin.
We stayed a week here which seemed unusual as most of the people we meet used it as a short stay or stop over.
Reading the other reviews before and after our stay, sadly I have to agree that the shower block and the method used to stay COVID safe totally let the site down.
The system requires you to pre book a 20 minute family slot in either of the 2 blocks using a white board booking method.
You are not permitted to do this until midday, each day, otherwise you slot is wiped off.
Twice during the stay my family of 4 couldn’t shower because we were out in the morning and missed any available slots.
We spoke with the wardens to explain we had just climbed Ben Nevis and we were wet and cold and they refused to help us get a shower as our slot had been erased.
The block itself needed a complete refurb many years ago and it surprises me that it meets the Club standard.
Other reports of the shower block resembling a crime scene are true.
On top of this there is only one toilet available for a site of over 90 pitches.
Now I fully understand how difficult it has been to put practical measures in to stay COVID compliant but it could have been done far better than this, and all the visitors we spoke to said the same.
All that apart we had a fabulous week and Killin is definitely worth a visit.
