 Great site, have visited a few times now. Toilet blocks seem to have been renovated recently.
Always well kept public areas. It’s only a small walk to all shops, pubs and restaurants. We will be back.

Another nice visit to this site.
We returned to this site a year after our last visit. The reception was friendly and informative. We were allocated a large hardstanding pitch with great views of the surrounding scenery.
It was disappointing to see the main toilet block although always kept clean was still looking tired and old and in need of upgrading. On the positive side the toilet/shower blocks near the river have been upgraded and look well, here's hoping the older block gets the same treatment, long overdue for such a big busy site.
The motorhome service point is one of the best iv'e seen. Good free WiFi is available and the on site shop is very good and well stocked. An easy walk into town with a massive selection of shops and cafes and pubs. There are plenty of good and varied walks in the area which was great for our dog.
We will return.

First visit to this site, booked for 3 nights online in advance with no issues, you need to call once booking ref email is received to leave deposit via credit/debit card. Not the cheapest of sites we have stayed at, price is season dependant and pitch type dependant with extra to pay for full awning.
Easy access to site, sign posted once entering Pitlochry from the South off A9, just after petrol station turn left.
Check in was quick and pleasant, good parking at reception, pitch allocated by owners and we were happy with the one we got with nobody next to us and everyone who was on site having a few empty pitches between them but I guess that is time of year dependant, March 2018 at time of review and very quiet with half a dozen other tourers and some seasonals on site, but at least it was sensibly considered. Site map given to show site and facilities. Site is spread over 2 fields separated by small stream, one area behind reception is primarily for Static caravans and seasonal pitches, the other over bridge is mainly for tourers and seasonal pitches. Reception has well stocked shop for groceries etc, calor gas is also available. There are 3 toilet blocks spread over the site, one with modern individual bathrooms with shower or bath/sink/toilet/paper towels, next to the Laundry. The other 2 blocks are more dated, with shower and toilet cubicles, liquid soap and hand dryers. All were kept clean during our stay with loads of hot water. The Laundry is located in old stone building and has 3 washing machines, 3 tumble dryers, iron and ironing board, 4 sinks and an old mangle wringer! There are 2 motorhome service points with drive over drainage and water. There are 2 CWP/Elsan points, one at central toilet block and other to rear of laundry. There are 2 dog walk areas, one tiny one behind the toilet block, the other a decent large field with a dog bin for waste at top end of tourers field. Dogs on leads at all times which looked to be adhered to whilst we were there, but we all know there are only some of us who consistently comply :-) Good walks off of site for dogs.
The site has had recent upgrade to its hook-ups all new with 16Amp standard plug and RCD. The owner is also upgrading various grass pitches to Hard standing and added 2nd motorhome service point this season (2018). There are a mix of grass and hard standing pitches, hard standing are mainly very level, well drained and weed free. Grass pitches were a bit damp but its March, varied on levels but mostly good. All pitches are of good sizes and have designated boundaries with good spacing between pitches. Tarmac roads around all of the site to pitches.
Views from the site are very pitch dependant with some overlooking an open field across to the A9 others with views up to the hills behind Pitlochry. Noise from the A9 main road was not bad and didn't disturb our sleep considering it is reasonably close.
You can walk into Pitlochry in approx. 15 mins, turn right at reception, left at tee junction and follow signs to Festival Theatre, cross suspension bridge and follow uphill to get to town. Alternatively go into theatre for café and visit, or continue to dam and fish ladder to see the salmon climb at the viewing chamber (when in season), cross over dam and you get to visitor centre to see how dam was built and history of Hydro Power in Scotland. Great café with good food in visitor centre. Out of visitor centre main door, turn right and go down 100 steps to river and follow path back to suspension bridge, alternatively follow out of visitor centre uphill to town main street.
There is another walk up to ancient monument from site, turn left at site entrance and follow road under A9, monument is sign posted.

Writing a review for this site is difficult after seeing it's g;owing reviews as we are definitely not nit pickers.
Firstly we had been spoiled by some stunning views from previous campsites.
After calling ahead two days earlier we arrived to find we were not sited in the touring park but facing a row of static caravans and amongst some seasonal caravans.
Both toilet blocks from this position were quite a distance away in the touring field, not the end of the world but not pleasant with the heavy rain we were having.
What we did find off putting was behind our unit was a hole in the fence to the main road which was well used, and twice late at night there were a group of young men cutting through who sounded like they had had a good drink. Not to mention others walking past our window looking in as we were eating.
Also despite there being signs all over the site about dogs on leads the seasonal people near us obviously felt they were exempt.
In fact when we arrived there was dog mess right next to the van which I nearly stepped in when setting the van up.
We also had a cat onboard but could not let him out much because of the unleashed dogs.
Had I been staying longer I probably would have seen the lady at reception about being moved but the site was full to be fair to them and I doubt there would have been a space elsewhere.
The town of Pitlochry is a manageable walk away for two old wrinkies like us. In fact it is a very pleasant little town and well worth a visit.
The shower block and toilets that we used were well looked after and always clean despite the site being full. Also a laundry that we didn't use.
Drinking water and bins were quite close.
The on site shop carried most essentials as well.
The phone signal was good (Virgin) as was tv reception on my Avtek aerial.
This was the most expensive site we stayed at whilst in Scotland but sadly our experience was not that great.
Would we return?, probably if we could get in the touring field.

Site is located at the south of the town so no need to go through it. Can also be accessed from further up the A9 and taking the Fonab exit. Well kept site with a 15-20 minute walk to Pitlochry centre. Quicker if you walk up to the Festival Theatre then over the suspension bridge. Good size pitches. Were not given any choice of pitch but the one we were allocated suited us fine. Nice view out towards south A9. Suffered a bit from midges as the ground was pretty wet and the site is close to the river. Well stocked site shop. Ironmongers in Pitlochry has some camping essentials if needed. Chip van comes to the site gate on a Friday night @ 6pm which is a nice treat. Toilets are clean, showers have plenty hot water, with toilet, sink and glass shower cubicle in both individual shower units. Press button operation for the shower, which had good pressure but only lasted for about a 30 second burst so had to keep pressing the button for more water. Toilets could do with a bit of updating but did the job. Tarmac road around site so made pulling aqua roll etc easy. All in all we had a lovely weekend as we were lucky with the weather. Would use this site again as very convenient.

Overnight stay on the 10th August in one of our favourite sites which is always spotless & within 5 to 10 minutes walk from Pitlochry, & very handy if visiting the theatre. Well stocked shop on site. Unfortunately our motorhome would not start in the morning when we were due to leave, but the staff were most helpful in coming to our aid & within 10 minutes they had helped us to get going. Looking forward to going back for a few days in late September.

First time visitor to this site and may I say I was very impressed. The facilities were excellent and spotlessly clean. The owner was very pleasant and helpful, as were the other members of staff. Free trout fishing on the river Tummel within the grounds of the site, free DVD hire. If you complain about this site then you need to have a word with yourself 😀

Reasonably level site with EHU and decent spacing
Twenty minute walk to centre of Pitlochry and ten minute walk to the Festival Theatre
Midgies and even more midges as site is by the river
Well stocked shop and chippie van on a Friday night. What more could a body ask for?
Too few showers and wash up facilities.
No towels or soap in the shower/toilets.
Nothing supplied to clean the pot wash up or the shower and basin after use.
Pitlochry itself is past its sell by date but its always worth a wee trip to the House of Bruar and the Festival Theatre and the scenery is outstanding of course.

Well kept site, friendly welcome, good hot showers. Short walk into Pitlochry centre. Close to riverside walks and hydro-electric station. Will use this site next time we're in the area.

Well looked after site which took a bit of finding. Signposting could be better. Facilities were a bit strange and dated but adequate. As a dog owner I'm still looking for the dog walking areas because where we were sited (no. 15) the areas were miles away. I also think that some of the signs about being thrown off the site if dogs do the toilet are very unfriendly and unwelcoming. £25 for one night is the most I've paid travelling around Scotland this summer. For that reason I won't be back.
