Amazingly beautiful campsite
A beautiful campsite near a river with views of mountains. Good location with Killin nearby, where there are shops and pubs/restaurants and everything you need. Including a place to hire kayaks to paddle on the river and then loch Tay. Fishing was poor as we were there when the water level was so low due to the dry weather (no fault of the campsite). Where we stayed it was quiet however there will be road noise on pitches which backed on to the road. The logging lorries that use the road drive at a terrifying pace. The drive from Inverness along loch Tay was probably the most challenging drive towing ever (I have towed in the Alps a lot, Italy and all of the A470 in Wales). My wife tells me the scenery was breathtaking - I however was starring at the mirrors as every vehicle passed hoping they wouldn't smash on the floor! We actually saw motorhomes with smashed up mirrors on the road. When we arrived there were units blocking up the main road, however the wardens managed the situation swiftly and efficiently and checked us in quickly without paying to get everyone on site and off the dangerous road. Really friendly and informative wardens - up there with the best we've come across. A visit to Aberfeldy distillery is highly recommended and a very good solution to forget the horrendous drive to the site! The falls of Dochart are worth a visit as they are beautiful. We should have spent more time on the campsite as it was amazing and would definitely return.
