 Just returned from a very warm sunny weekend, Friday/sunday. Campsite yet again peaceful and nice people. Wasn't that busy this time. Went with 6 people camping, had great time in and around loch leven area. BBQ, beer, walks, cycling. Clean toilets/showers. On site small playpark for kids. Can recommend. Friendly staff. Will defo be back. Plenty to do if using as a base, fantastic for cycling around the famous loch leven. Shops a short journey from site. Really nice icecream place just up the road in milnathort. Didnt have dogs with us this time but nice walks for dog walkers, pets welcome.

We stopped here for 2 nights going up to loch ness and stayed 1 night on the way back we paid £15. 50p for 2 adults 2 dogs electric and motorhome.
We received a warm welcome
Great site good views over the farm and motorway which was noisy at times but we didn't notice it after a while
very good dog walk We went into kinrosss and parked in a lovely park on loch leven with a great play area for kids. the shopping area is a short walk from the park and there are a few shops and a small supermarket with good prices where we bought the mince and onion bridies, which were lovely. There is a morrisons about 10 miles away
We drove further round the lake and parked up for a while looking at the loch.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Gallowhill. We had a very warm welcome and freedom to pitch wherever we wanted to with a choice of pitches with or without electric hookup.
The shower blocks were kept extremely clean and the 50p charge for the shower gave you ample hot water.
The site is in a fantastic location for exploring the local area.
It is a short drive to Knockhill Circuit as well.
The grass areas of the site were kept in very good condition and were fairly level.
There is a Sainsburys very close by and a picturesque drive to Glenrothes for a larger shopping centre.

It's a very nice and quiet campsite. The young lad at reception was very helpful and friendly. We (7 bikers) were given the freedom of choosing a place to pitch our tents. The toilet block was clean, the only issue one might have is the code that is required to enter the block-not a biggie.
There is a Sainsburys about 5min driving from the campsite, comes very handy if your food supplies are running out:).
The noise from the motorway is hardly noticeable so again no problem there.
We paid c. 6 pound per tent, very good value for money.
Going to stay there again on my next visit to Kinross.

Have to agree completely with previous review by Dillan. Went looking for a new site for a chillout weekend and found Gallowhill on the website, arrived Friday afternoon.
Very friendly and helpful young guy showed us to an ideal spot where we stayed the whole time. Apart from a brief visit to Kinross. Such a shame, it could be a lovely little village, but looking quite sad now.
It became a busy weekend on the site however, lots of bikers attending Knockhill, all very good natured and hilarious for people watching. A brilliant weekend, will come back for more soon. Luverly!

Chose this site as a one-night stop on our way up to Aberdeenshire. It's not glamorous as you drive up to the farm buildings but don't let that put you off. The young guy at reception was very nice, explained where everything was and, because we hadn't stayed at the site before, insisted on escorting us in his little car on to the pitch behind the farm. We didn't want electric so he said we could pitch anywhere.
It's a bit of a sloping area of grass but it's well kept and there were numerous picnic benches around for anyone to use. We pitched at the top, in front of the fence which is in front of a pine wood. There were only two other tents in the entire field.
I agree with all other comments with regard to the facilities thought didn't quite understand why a code was needed to enter the toilet/shower block. Never come across that before. Anyway, it wasn't a problem.
The noise from the M90 was noticeable. Not necessarily the volume of traffic but the noise the actual road surface generates. It's a background humming.
Kinross is an easy walk either via the road or one of the paths leading off near the site. Didn't have time to explore much, given we were there for just the one night. However, what we did notice was the sad state of some buildings such as the old Secondary school, which sits all boarded up since it closed with the opening of the new Academy. But what was particularly sad is the old Town Hall. All boarded up and sitting forlorn. Sad, as it's such a lovely building smack in the centre of town. I hope it gets some love, attention and a new lease of life.

Stayed here two nights on our way back home from a tour of the highlands and what a belting little site it is. Nothing was too much trouble for the bloke in charge, , polite, cheerful, informative
They also have a two tier service, one basic £9 per night and one with showers etc. Included £16. As there were four of us I chose the latter, told steven about the extra people and was told not to worry about it,
The dogwalk is a pleasure to walk in, wildlife abound
Kinross itself is a nice little town (walk down the little path to the right, 30 mins)
Do go on loch leven and see leven castle (once a prison to mary queen scots) and walk the paps of fife
Will be going back in september.

On arrival we were taken to our pitch and given the code for the toilet/shower block and a guide to the local area. The site was well kept, we had electric hookup.
We were due to stay three nights, but due to a leaking tent we just stayed the two, as we left on Sunday evening we popped by reception to hand the code in and explained we liked the site, it was just the tent let us down and they offered our nights money back, which I thought was a nice gesture.
We had stayed here as its only 14miles from knockhill race circuit. There were a lot of people heading same way so had to be up very early to hit showers, which are good value at only 50p for 8 minutes.
Will stay here whenever at knockhill ideal. Only draw back quite close to main road so do get some traffic noise

Rustic site in terms of facilities, wardens friendly, shower block clean albeit only 2 showers that there is a 50p charge for 8 minutes. Pitches not the most spacious with little privacy, site well drained after heavy rain. Lovely views from the van window. Good dog walk.
I used it as it was handy for Knockhill race track and the thought of a hot shower and ehu was appealing but would consider going back as a tourist
Thought at £15 per night for 2 adults, 2 cars, ehu, awning and dog it was pretty good value

Arrived last Thursday for a two night stay and received a very warm welcome from the owner. He gave us directions into the campsite and told us that we could pitch anywhere in the designated tent field. We weren't asked the size of tent and were charged £6. 50 per person/per night, which we thought was good value as we have a 4 berth tent.
The washing up facility was clean and tidy, as was the laundry area though we didn't use it. Toilet & shower block were clean. There were two showers in both mens & ladies which were 50p for an 8 minute shower. They did run a bit hot & cold, but not so bad you couldn't enjoy.
Kinross was a 5min drive away, with a Sainsbury's and other local shops to keep you stocked up.
We drove to Loch Leven, which was a 10min drive away and took one of the short walks back towards Kinross harbour. Stunning views and lots of wildlife. On our short walk we seen a few large birds of prey, ducks on the loch and 4 deer. Amazing.
The site was spacious, with a mixture of caravan/campers, pitches with EHU and large area for tents. There were quite a few picnic benches dotted around for campers to use.
There was a small play park and dog walking area.
There was good access from the motorway and was well signed as you came off the M90, into Kinross.
Looking forward to visiting again, as the site was just what we were looking for and the owners were very friendly.
