Cruachan farm caravan and camping park

  • Family-run park near the western end of Loch Tay
  • Loch Earn and Loch Lomond within an hour's drive
  • Laundry room on site; dogs welcome
Set in quiet countryside near the western end of Loch Tay and around an hour's drive from Loch Lomond, Cruachan Farm Caravan and Camping Park is a family-run site in a great position for sightseeing around the southern Highlands and central Scotland. Whatever kind of accommodation you opt for, you'll have access to a smart and spacious park with well-maintained amenities like a toilet and shower block and a laundry room. The site is well under a mile from the banks of Loch Tay and close to lots of other outdoor attractions: watersports, birdwatching and tracking down ancient burial sites are all popular pastimes you can get up to in the local area. It's also a 15 minutes' walk from Loch Tay Highland Lodges, where guests are welcome to use the facilities. Cruachan Farm Caravan and Camping Park is a five-minute drive to the east of Killin, a scenic spot with a castle, pubs, a supermarket and waterside walks around the gorgeous Falls of Dochart.

What customers say

Cruachan Farm is praised for its beautiful location near Loch Tay and friendly staff. It's a popular spot for hillwalkers, offering spacious pitches and good access to nature. While many find the facilities clean and functional, some mention they are dated. The site is generally quiet, though occasionally noisy neighbours are noted. Access to the adjacent lodges' amenities is a plus. Some visitors experienced issues with muddy or sloped pitches for tents.

Anaïs G.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Aire de jeux pour enfant situé dans le camping à côté (accès par un chemin)

Disliked Ce camping est vétuste et aurait besoin d’un peu de modernisation : sanitaires propres à la limite de l’acceptable, toilettes chimiques non adaptées (vider dans les toilettes et aller nettoyer dehors), problème d’eau non potable qui semble récurrent. Accueil dans le camping d’à côté, qui semble plus moderne, avec aire de jeux et point d’eau.
Bref, Cela fait un peu camping du pauvre. Assez déçus.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (five person)

Liked Low price

Disliked Toilets from 70s, no safe water to drink or take a shower, you’ll need shower after taking shower there as it’s so dirty. They will offer you bottle of water if you arrive before 5 as after that office is closed. I wouldn’t sent there my enemy.

Local attractions

Starting locally, Killin Castle (five minutes' drive) is definitely a landmark to explore. While here, wander down past the pretty waters at the Falls of Dochart (five minutes) and keep an eye out for wildlife. Killin Golf Club (also five minutes) is a well-liked course with nine scenic landscaped holes to try, while just a little further away at Ben Lawers Dam (10 minutes) you can get a close-up view of one of Scotland's highest Munros. After exploring Loch Tay and the local area, it's a short enough drive to Loch Tay (20 minutes), where plenty of watersports and hiking trails are on offer. The village of Aberfoyle (an hour away) is very popular with off-road cyclists who appreciate its miles of well-maintained gravel tracks, and there's also a forest park with Go Ape, a visitor centre and a hide where beady-eyed visitors may spot red squirrels among the trees. For more heritage sights, try Castle Menzies (30 minutes), an imposing 16th-century clan seat, or Stirling Castle (an hour and 10 minutes), one of the most important and impressive historic buildings in Scotland.
