Nestled within a beautiful forest setting, this campsite offers a wonderfully peaceful and quiet escape, with many visitors praising its tranquillity and stunning natural surroundings. The site is spacious, providing ample room for tents and motorhomes, and there are plenty of lovely walks and trails that lead directly from the campsite into the woods and nearby areas like Loch Rannoch and Rannoch Moor. The warden, often named as Ellie, is consistently described as friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and hardworking, contributing greatly to a positive atmosphere. Although the campsite is remote, with the nearest town about 3.5 miles away and limited local amenities, this isolation adds to its charm for those seeking a true nature experience. The facilities are kept very clean and well-maintained, with a modern toilet block, washing-up areas, and private cubicles with hot water for personal washing. However, one of the most frequently mentioned drawbacks is the lack of proper shower facilities, though many noted this was clearly communicated in advance. The site operates on a cash-only basis, which can be inconvenient as there are no nearby ATMs, prompting comments that guests should be prepared. Another recurring challenge is the presence of midges, which are typical for the region, especially in certain seasons, and some visitors recommend bringing insect repellent. Many guests appreciate the generous pitch sizes and the option to choose their own spot, especially for those not requiring electric hook-ups, and the site offers hardstanding pitches for motorhomes. The mobile phone signal is generally reported as good, often with 4G coverage, which compensates for the lack of Wi-Fi, a feature rarely mentioned as a negative due to the site's remote nature. Dog owners particularly enjoy the direct forest access and the dog-friendly atmosphere, making it a popular choice for walking pets. Families with children find plenty of space for kids to play and explore, and the overall vibe is described as relaxing and safe. Despite the basic offerings, the site is considered good value for money, with many guests expressing a desire to return for a longer stay. The access road is a single-track, bumpy, compacted mud and stone track, so visitors should be prepared for a slightly rough drive in. Overall, this campsite is a hidden gem for those who appreciate a simple, clean, and serene camping experience immersed in nature, with friendly staff and a strong sense of community.
