  • Green rural getaway in Scotland's first Fairtrade town
  • Spectacular scenery and plenty of open space
  • Manicured landscape with spacious level pitches
Set on the outskirts of a small market town, Aberfeldy Caravan Park is a welcoming park surrounded by the oh-so-scenic Highland Perthshire. It's on the banks of the river Tay, so families, couples and solo travellers should all find the setting lovely and peaceful. This prime location means easy access to local attractions, whether it's visiting the historic Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery or scenic walks along the Birks of Aberfeldy (both within a short walk of the park). Once home to famed poet Robert Burns and made more popular still by its status as the first Fairtrade town on Scotland’s map, Aberfeldy also has shops, restaurants and pubs (all a short walk away) . You’ve picked the right spot too if you're after a green and rural getaway: the handsomely manicured grounds and garden here provide spacious and level pitches at the park, all accessible by a clearly marked path. Then take a step through the gate on to the footpath that runs between the site and the River Tay and you’re slap bang in peaceful Scottish countryside. When you’re not admiring the view of the river or the Strath Tay landscape thick with hillsides and trees from your pitch (it’s enough to make anyone come over all poetic), the kids should like the open space in which to run around and the well-equipped play area on site. The site has clean shower and toilet facilities and a laundry service, along with other handy amenities, and you can bring your pup along for a plentiful helping of Scottish air too.

Liked The aberfeldy distillery is 5 minutes walk , pitches are mostly level.

Disliked The staff are non helpful and do not leave the office , the water is not hot anywhere , the showers or dish washing , the electric hook up is an app you have to download from a 3rd party supplier that charges you a % for breathing nr it, and as soon as it's below a £1 it cuts you off and leaves you without a fridge or freezer until your back to top up, complete rip off , basically it's a seasonal site with a few overnight pitches for tents on the way up or down the A9 , we felt like we wasn't really wanted , we decided on this site because it's called "Aberfeldy" and on pitch up the photos make you believe your going to get a nice by the river pitch or even a nice pitch with a view NOT , you get a few slabs or a bit of grass besides the back of a grotty warehouse under trees looking into tents, all in all a very expensive site with absolutely nothing to do, with the added electric per day , we've seen cheaper and better sites within 5 miles, you live and learn.

Liked Clean, tidy, well organised with solid facilities. Pitches well marked with picnic table on perfectly fault slightly soft sandy ground making great camping. Good supplies available and extremely close to the centre of town with excellent groceries and eateries. Right next to a wonderful river. Shower block functional with piping hot water.

Liked Really friendly helpful staff, nothing is a bother. The campsite is stunning with beautiful views and an amazing river. Lots of birds and ducks which is lovely to wake up to in the morning. Great campsite for all ages and dogs. Very close to the town which has good restaurants, pubs and shops. Also there is a Farmers Market on the first Sunday of the month which has a lot of unusual goods on offer. Plenty of showers and toilets available which are very clean.

Local attractions

The historic Dewar’s World of Whisky distillery is within handy walking distance from the site for tipples, tours and your fill of liquor heritage. The vibrant highland town of Aberfeldy, for shoppers and lovers of all things organic, is a 10-minute walk away in one direction: get your caddy in tow if going here too, because in the other direction is a golf course within walking distance. If you're a hill walker, join the footpath along the River Tay straight from the site which leads to an array of walking challenges; from a stroll (via a pub, naturally) or a hike up some of the landscape’s more demanding routes: the view at the end (and all the way along, in fact) will be well worth it… Cyclists and mountain bikers have a fair bit of varying terrain to try out in the area, from the old railway path along the Rob Roy Way linking Aberfeldy and Grandtully gently taking in the sites of the area that inspired Robert Burns, to the steady climb of Castle Dow and other steeper tracks.
