For the avid fisherman, the site is even next door to the River Almond and the Union Canal. There's even something for your pups with a fantastic dog walk at the back of the site!

Brilliant campsite on the whole. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the facilities were excellent. No site that has push button showers will score 5 stars from me but really can’t fault anything. Would come again no question. Thank you.
Very impressive

A lovely site. Some very impressive facilities, clearly quite new. The only disappointment was that my wife returned from the toilet, late in the evening and stated that there was not a single loo roll in the whole building. She checked all of the dispensers but found nothing.
Great
