Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Being beside the River Garry covers any nearby noise from the road, the sound of cuckoo's in the trees along the railway line, the fire pits, and the friendly owners and all terrain vehicle that can carry you across the river to the pitches.

Disliked: Not really a dislike but the site will be even better when the planted trees have grown some height, allowing more forested and private pitches

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Both hosts are really friendly and practical people. I turned up at the start of storm Babet and the weather was pretty poor. I was warned of the potential for the river to swell during stormy weather, thankfully this held during my stay. The trip across the river was a nice adventure, a little army 4x4 is a great added touch. Due to the high winds the hosts added a latch to the camp shop if I needed to decamp during the night and stay in the shed. Composting toilets are an environmentally focussed solution albeit slightly draughty and slightly damp in a storm, but you are camping after all. The location is absolutely lovely, despite the weather it was a really beautiful location.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Brilliant! Basic but very well maintained facilities. Beautiful site, well spaced pitches. Wild enough for the experience with the convenience of facilities and access. Wee shop with honesty box was a great touch and 4x4 crossing the river to access was an added novelty. Fantastic hosts too - so helpful and obliging. We'll definitely be back!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Everything was excellent. A beautiful location, quiet and calming, campsites overlooking the river, and clean shower and toilets, with firewood on site. The absolute best part of staying here was Tabitha the campsite owner who was so kind, helpful and accommodating. Will definitely be going back!

Disliked: Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: friendly and helpful hosts; second-to-none communication; quiet, clean, really well-maintained and well spaced tent pitches with benches and fire pits; tranquil surroundings; interesting campsite access (through the river); simple and eco-friendly amenities (shower, toilets); self-service shop with basic supplies (water, wood, matches etc.)

Disliked: midges (can't be helped, though - it's almost always an inseparable part of Scottish camping adventures)

Go through the gates (please do close all gates behind you) down the track and park on the right just before the river. Please text in good time prior to your arrival should you need assistance with crossing the river. From the north, look out for the Dalnamein sign to your right 1 mile after the dual carriageway and follow as above.

Local attractions

Local village Blair Atholl is a pretty place to start wanderings off at, for a stroll around the extensive gardens of 13th-century Blair Castle… followed by fish and chips at the town’s acclaimed takeaway. Scottish tweed, other clothing and gifts are all sourceable at the House of Bruar. The Pitlochry fish ladder is a local destination to take your camera along to: this famed fishway has 34 pools in total, including one with an underwater viewing area and CCTV for easy viewing. In town, the Pitlochry Festival Theatre has performances and festivals throughout the year, or if you’re feeling energetic you can strike out on the long-distance Rob Roy Way which runs for 79 miles from Pitlochy to Drymen in Stirling. More walking paths and mountain biking routes are close by, along with walks by Loch Rammel, Loch Errochty and Loch Tummel all within 25 minutes’ drive. More placid options include the zoo and safari park of the Highland Wildlife Park (45 minutes’ drive), Aviemore (55 minutes), Cairngorm Reindeer Centre (also 55 minutes) and Scone Palace (an hour and five minutes). Further afield, get along to Dundee or St Andrews (an hour and 25 minutes and an hour and 45 minutes away respectively), for several castles and Firth of Tay views at the former and some of the most famed golf in the world at the latter.
