Good for families

Great location but inadequate facilities

Caution required in a larger motorhome or towing when travelling to site - the northern Loch Tay road has numerous locations where the road narrows to 1.5 vehicles width and the locals naturally assume they have right of way. The alternative road along the south of the loch is 'walker and cyclist friendly' so expect to come across people in the road around every blind bend (road best avoided if possible). The site location is very good - a 10 min walk into the village, which has all key facilities; book well ahead (ie a week) if you wish to eat at the recommended Courie Inn as it is very busy. Falls of Dochart dinner - good but not great. If you wish to venture further afield eg to Kenmore or Aberfeldy, or to get onto Ben Lawers (all recommended) you'll need transport. The setting of the site, by the river, is lovely, no midges thankfully, but a large bunch of noisy kids ended up playing outside our motorhome every day - fine if you like that sort of thing, but no sign of the parents, who were presumably camped up at the quiet end of the site....! No problems with check-in, although only very rudimentary site briefing, despite it being quiet when we arrived; I found the staff to be quite officious in manner and not particularly welcoming, although given the other reviews singing their praises, I'm willing to accept that they may have been having an off-day. The facilities are poor and very tired for a site that is not cheap. Not up to the usual high standard we've come to expect (look at Grantown-on-Spey to see how it should be done). Single washing machine was u/s hence no clothes washing facilities. On top of that, the (single) main toilet/washing block was shut for 2 hours every day, ostensibly to carry out a covid deep-clean, but frankly I've no idea what they were doing for that length of time. Other sites take 30 mins. Site security is good - a swipe card is required to get in and out, although whether that deters anyone on foot from jumping over the fence is debatable, so usual precautions should be taken with your stuff. So in summary, great location and setting but facilities really do need some investment.
