 Wise to prepare by looking at the site map online: the site is surrounded by trees, and you need to know which pitches get the sun or shade at the time of day you prefer (if they're available - arrive early afternoon).
The trees limit views of the loch & screen most pitches from the people beyond the security fence.
Clean facilities, good showers, the alternative toilet was closed due to a plumbing problem over our stay, so there was no toilet available during cleaning (10:30 - 12:00).
No Wi-Fi.
Excellent site for dog walks, with keypad gate access into the park & path round the loch. Close to town, plenty of supermarkets nearby.
The managers do more here than at any other CAMC site we've been on: there's a help-yourself herb garden; a useful information area in the facilities block (a map of bus stops would have been handy); a book swap & they raise funds for charity by taking the interesting shaped bottles out of recycling and putting lights into them.
And there's a delightful unit with dog-related goodies: treats to eat, borrow a tennis ball & launcher, poo bags, a bowl of water - all very kind & thoughtful.
We liked Forfar, and not just for the variety of delicious Bridies - the Meffan is worth visiting (gallery & fascinating museum); climb up castle Hill for the views - get the gate key from the nearby newsagent; spend 30 mins in the best ironmonger we know (David Irons & Sons), with an awesome range of goods; we also enjoyed the wee garden dedicated to Five Forfar Botanists.
Glamis castle nearby is worth a day trip - dogs are allowed in the extensive gardens & grounds on a lead, the guided tour of the castle is interesting even if you have no interest in the Queen Mother.
The Caledonian Railway at the small City of Brechin runs steam trains to Bridge of Dun near Montrose.

Chose here for our free night voucher.
First trip of the year and just wanted to make sure everything was working for all our trips this year plus the bonus of visiting family.
Lovely clean site and facilities. Wardens lovely and friendly.
Ideal for just walking in to town. Lovely walk around the loch.
Plenty places to visit out and about not far from site.
Nice big pitches.

The site is well situated, handy for different types of food venues and accessible for larger caravans and motor homes.
The site is well maintained and very usefully located near to the A90 if you plan on going up country to Aberdeen and beyond.
Also handy for trips into Dundee which is 15 to 20 minutes away.

The site wardens were very pleasant and checked us in quickly and offered us a couple of pitches.
The tent area was nice and level and we had a pitch close to the toilet block.
The site in general was spotless and well kept, the wardens out weeding and grass cutting when not receiving guests or cleaning.
The facilities were as expected spotless and we were impressed that the local information was at the facilities block meaning it was available 24/7.
Our stay was very enjoyable and we would highly recommend this site and the surrounding area.

An excellent site up to the usual caravn club standards. Most of the site was well thought out with a feeling of space between units, something that is less obvious these days at caravan club sites.
Having said that there was the odd pitch that was ridiculously placed and should not have been there (on this occasion though they were all vacant throughout our stay). In my experience most wardens would agree with this but are not able to say.
The only thing that struck me though was the quietness of the site in early August. Many vacant pitches throughout our stay. I suspect that the caravan club is continuing to price themselves out of the market in current times.

Forfar Loch is an excellent site.

The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient.

Forfar Lochside is a lovely location. Very easy to get to off A90 with pleasant surroundings, beautifully kept shower block and friendly wardens.
You can access the park and walk around the loch which is a flat easy walk of about 4KM with views of the loch and surrounds.
Shops are a 10 minute walk as is the town centre.
One word of warning here, the town centre is pretty dead in the evenings and we came across what must be the only two Wetherspoons that close their kitchens at lunchtime every day!
Forfar may not be the place for nightime entertainment but the place is very nice and the CAMC Site is immaculate.

Been to this site a few times.
Great location with the Loch and park right beside it and the town just a few minutes stroll away.
Toilets and showers are immaculate as well.

Very well kept site with immaculate facilities. New fully serviced pitches at the fence by the Loch were spacious and well located. We were the first van to use them.
Wardens out constantly looking after the grass or littler picking. Almost obsessed. Good location for exploring the area and lots of food shops etc but no reason to spend much time in Forfar.
We found the loch perimeter walk dull.
The beaches at Montrose or the fish shack and chippy on the harbour at Montrose are worth a visit. Also good to drive to the nearby hills and find a walk.
Spaces between pitches seems to be generous for most pitches.
CAMC seems to be getting more expensive we were out of season and if we were slightly later ie April we would have stayed at a cl or cs or private site for better value as we don’t need shower facilities. These were not yet open at the time of our stay.

A really attractive and well kept site beside a lovely 2. 5 mile lochside walk.
We had a very nice grass pitch and WiFi was great.
The children’s playground was not a problem.
Forfar is not a particularly interesting place but we loved visiting Glamis castle.
Helpful warden Kris.
