Camping suggestions in Central/Perthshire

johnfarquhar74

I know I could post this in the UK holiday thread but thought I'd try the local thread first.
I'm planning to go camping for a few nights at the start of August, I'm based in Edinburgh so don't want to go anywhere more than 2 hours drive away so I was thinking Central/Perthshire. Looking for a nice little campsite, minimum requirements are a shower/toilet block. Am taking my 7 yo daughter and she is desperate to go walking in the woods/forests. We have done Pitlochry a few times and when we could travel further we like beach camping up at Morar.
So, something different, anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

You could try Cobleland camp site at Aberfoyle.It is by a river and has lovely forest walks.Sorry I can't do a link.

We have a book called 'Cool Camping in Scotland' which we use - lots of smaller campsites are mentioned. Perhaps your library will stock it to save buying it?

Great suggestion! Brilliant walks, there is a burn which has a good pool for swimming and Aberfoyle is a pleasant one mile walk away (along the old railway track so off the main road). Lovely site.

Cruachan Farm Campsite just outside Killin is a great site, have camped there a couple of times.

Very spacious. Its basic, but facilities are clean. You can have a walk through the forest to the loch.
