  • Peaceful park next to the River Forth, two miles from Aberfoyle
  • In Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, a half-hour drive from Stirling
  • Well-kept pitches with direct access to Loch Ard Forest; dogs welcome
If you’re setting off for Stirlingshire with your eye on finding lots of alfresco activities, you should certainly consider Cobleland Campsite as a base. A couple of miles south of Aberfoyle, this peaceful park is in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, just on the edge of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. That setting means miles and miles of walking and cycling trails stretch out through the surrounding area, with fishing and golf close by too – and watersports, treetop trails, cliff jumping and the like for more intrepid guests. And in fact you don't have to travel far to get started on soaking up the spectacular scenery – you can simply stick around on site, where oak trees tower over the pitches and there’s a backdrop of pretty forest views with the River Forth running along one side of the site. Just beyond the river are paths taking you straight out into Loch Ard Forest for a woodland wander or a dog walk if you’ve brought your pet with you. The pitches at Cobleland are well tended and spacious, with access to all the essential amenities including a launderette, a washing-up area and chemical disposal as well as bathrooms with toilets, showers and disabled facilities. Aberfoyle (five minutes’ drive) has a small supermarket for supplies, plus several places to eat and drink.

What customers say

Stunning, tidy site with helpful staff. Clean facilities, riverside/woodland spots, and roomy pitches get a thumbs up. Super dog-friendly with great walks. Shop & coffee van are a hit. Mostly peaceful, but some found pitches a bit close & had minor noise. Many are keen to come back.

Julieann T.

Meadow powered grass and gravel site

Liked Clean campsite with good facilities and a lovely location. Pitch was nice and flat for the tent, plenty to do round about.

Disliked The one car next to the pitch is a bit unnecessary, we paid the extra £10 and both cars were on the gravel next to our tent, not imposing on anyone so being asked to move it seemed a bit pointless. Also advertised as no campfires
But everyone had camp fires and when I asked at reception I was told they were allowed, so this should be updated.

Michelle M.

Meadow powered grass site

Liked The size of the site, the layout. The shower cubicles are good but all need to have a towel rail and small shelf to store belongings so they don't get wet.

Disliked The toilets nearest the reception area are ideal for site users but need to be adapted so things like getting ready for bed etc can be done. The worktops surrounding the sinks are always soaking wet.
No WiFi or 4G service (for three users)

Meadow powered grass and gravel site

Liked Unlimited hot water any time of day
Helpful staff
Easy access by bike to Aberfoyle
Beautiful location
Well kept facilities
Nicely stocked shop

Disliked Far too busy for the space - it felt like everyone was on top of each other which spoiled what's actually a beautiful site with well kept facilities.
Poor campsite etiquette and a pitch near the facilities meant that people walked right through our pitch to use the toilets etc - actually through our pitch stepping over our cool box and between chairs etc.
Lots of people smoking weed which was disgusting, and especially disappointing given the amount of children on site. I really feel that people should be given rules on arrival - I didn't go to a woodland campsite to have strangers tramp repeatedly through my camp spot and have to deal with the smell of cannabis - I don't think that's unreasonable on a family campsite, especially as a woman on her own with a child.
