 Unbelievable place. Been there so many times as a child and it is just getting bigger and better.

Love the bar and the pool.

I remember the shop 30+ years ago and it is safe to say it is a bit better now :-). Although, I loved it back then.

The walks in the near by area to Killiecrankie etc are amazing and a total must

 Loved the pool!

The signal is terrible for Vodafone & O2, site WiFi is poor as well.

Chose a “quite area” when booking, we were put right next to the busy A9 road which was also at the complete opposite end to the swimming pool and restaurant etc.

Shower blocks/toilets etc are clean enough but quite dated as was the restaurant which was expensive for what it was really.

 First time to this site and loved it. Excellent walks for the dog. Toilets and washing up area spotless.

Ate at restaurant our first night and it was lovely freshly made. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Pitches are a good size and water at pitch also which was an added bonus. The site was quite busy when we were there because of the cycle race but plenty showers and toilets available.

We were at the quiet part which was beside the seasonal pitches was a wee bit loud ( people just enjoying themselves) but all went quiet at the hush hush time. Would definitely come back here.

Handy having the shop to in case you’d forgot anything.

Also plenty of dog bins dotted around site which was really good to see.

 Only stayed one night on our way touring round East of Scotland. We were put up the quiet end which was lovely.

However, driving through the first part of the site we noticed it was very crowded and pitches very close together.

Toilets seemed to be ok although we hardly used them as just arrived late and left early morning.

Well stocked shop.

 We have been going here for decades with our kids and now our grandchildren.

The surrounding area, river etc are still superb but the site has gone downhill in my opinion.

Kids running amok at lower toilet block, kicking doors and blocking toilets with paper at night, no sign of any security or staff.

Toilets cleaned around 11am and howling a short while later, I have to say, when they have been cleaned, they are still grubby(Mens).

Disabled toilet very grubby with peas in the shower drain. Yes, peas!

Someone obviously washing dishes in the shower.

Some pitches were a joke, people were not content with caravan and awning but also had the space between vans filled with Gazeebo's and windbreaks with no regard to fire safety.

Bar was shut but swimming open due to Covid(Work that out)

I have no issue with peoples recreational habits but hate the smell of weed which was pungent, coming from the hired statics behind our pitch.

As a family, we have always liked Faskally but it has changed and not for the better.

Sadly we will not be returning but there are other choices of sites locally.

 Visited this site en to much further north. The pitch we had was sloping and due to the rain my car could not tow on the slope but the staff were on hand to bring their tractor to my rescue.

The pitch was very close to the road and although it is not the A9, the quarry trucks make it sound like that from early in the morning.

The site itself is pleasant and there are a few nice walks along the river. It would be a long way into Pitlochry if you walk but achievable.

Due to COVID the facilities were closed but the personal distancing worked well.

 Pre booked as it was a Glasgow holiday weekend, but site didn't seem too crowded. Grass pitch on sloping ground, which was fairly firm.

Toilet blocks modern and clean, although showers closed just now. Reception friendly and helpful.

Site is in a nice situation and a 40min walk from Pitlochry along the road or a longer walk along the riverside path. Some traffic overnight but not too bad.

Motorhome service point is well designed and the chemical toilet area had a great hose nozzle that fitted over the cassette opening with a trigger!

Will stay again, but remember the levelling ramps!

 Site is located 2 miles North of Pitlochry and has truly magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and forest. The site itself is in a clearing and the lower (flat pitches) allocated for static units and seasonal pitches. The touring pitches are mainly on a steeply sloping grass embankment (large levelling blocks are required) running parallel to the main busy B8079/A9. The pitches are pre-allocated and noted by a marker stone set in the ground. Site staff offering no help at all with the pitch location!

Motorhome service point is located by side of reception/shop with hand drain channel, but water point is not located on side of service area and requires full 10m of hose to fill unit? Only one chemical waste point on site again located behind shop and is quite a hike from touring pitch area. Two amenities blocks on site with clean modern facilities however dish wash area have no plugs in any of the sinks nor plastic bowls. Well stocked shop on site including morning papers and off licence. Phone reception very poor and site internet access at a ridiculously expensive £ 3. 00/hour or £ 5. 00/day.

The 11 miles Killcrankie trail is accessed from site through a private estate. Part of the trail can be used to provide a lovely 3 ½ mile woodland/riverside walk into Pitlochry. Pitlochry has the usual tourist shops, a Co-op supermarket and a very good bike shop that came in handy for a needed bike repair (very good fast service).

Overall very nice location, but the sloping grass touring pitches are far from ideal and would be very problematic for heavy motorhome in wet weather.

 We have stayed at Faskally on many occasions and enjoyed it. It is a large site with good facilities. However it gets very busy at peak times and we generally go when quieter.

We brought our three grandchildren along for the first time this year during school holiday time. On the whole things were fine. However a lot of other children tend to roam the site and adjacent woods unsupervised. They are in and out of the toilet/shower blocks and leave a mess. One night there was a Bird of Prey display which had to be cut short as kids were running wild whilst the adults sat in the bar drinking. My kids were disappointed at this then were quite upset when a few of the adults became verbally aggressive towards the bird keeper who was correct to stop when he did as I fear one of the unruly children may nave upset the birds causing them to be attacked. I feel that staff could do more to warn adults that their children must be reasonably supervised.

The shop is well stocked and reasonably priced. The shower blocks are cleaned at 10am which I found to be inconvenient as a lot of people wanted to use them at this time. Why cant they clean them at a quieter time. The pool is ok though the steam room never seems to work. Again I witnessed children unsupervised using the sauna and spa pool when it clearly states no under 12s are allowed to use them.

If you are looking for a quiet site avoid Faskally like the plague or go at off peak times.
