I have had a look at the reviews and its a hard choice. Where ever you pick hope you have a fab time.

Blair Castle every time!

Faskally is set on a hill and if you pitch at the top its right next to a road.

Blair Castle is off the roadside and has some lovely walks up the riverside. Staff were great and really good facilities.

Have fun.

Stevenpu,

Let me give you a bit of advice, we were regular visitors to Faskally with our family and friends for many years when we camped, during the week it was reasonably quiet after dark but, when the weekends come it can be quite noisy with people coming back from the bar etc. I'm not trying to be "killjoy" by any means but, for families with young kids it would be pretty hard to get to sleep. Three years ago we bought a Caravan and continued to go with our friends etc., they have now decided they will NOT be going back for the reasons mentioned above. We have all been going to Blair Castle for our weekends away and the difference is like "night and day". It's an absolutely fantastic site with equally nice views of the surrounding hills etc. and the site wardens regularly patrol the site to make sure noise after dark is kept to a reasonable level.

Although Blair Castle doesn't have a bar etc. on site there are a few pubs/restaurants outside the main entrance where you can have drink and good food, the Atholl Arms in particular is excellent and only 5 minutes walk from the site.

So, to answer your question, Blair Castle, without question every time.

Regards

Jamsie

Blair Castle is a great site if you want to be in bed by 11pm as there is no noise whatsoever after this time, you also will be woken about 7am by children running about. Also be aware that you can laugh too loudly and dont let the children sing along to the tv at 7pm on a Saturday night that is a definite no no
