On arrival at the holiday park, we request that all visitors/guests report to Reception (the building located to your right as you arrive at the Park).  Car parking is available at the entrance to the Holiday Park.  There is one designated disabled space close to the reception. 

Public Areas

The main roads throughout the Holiday Park are tarmac with a 10mph speed limit. 

The Park has minimal external lighting to create a suitable ambiance at night.  The lights in buildings are on sensors and are fitted with low energy bulbs, keeping energy costs to a minimum and helping the environment.

Amenity Block

We have a centralised building with toilet and shower facilities, laundry, and dishwashing facilities.  The facilities are accessed from the main road with level or gently sloping paths. These facilities are currently open at all times for all guests.  The building has ladies' and gents' facilities and a specially adapted toilet and shower facility.  Our chemical disposal is also located in the central building.

Laundry

The Laundry facilities are also located within the central building and comprise of 2 washing machines, a tumble dryer, dish wash, and food preparation area as well as an integrated baby changing facility.  The washing machines are token operated and the tumble drier is coin-operated.

Outdoor Play Area

Our outdoor play area is situated centrally and partly protected by a large shelter with a large open grass area and facilities for children of all ages.  There are currently swings, climbing frames, and a sandpit for the children 

We request that children are supervised at all times when using the play equipment as we cannot be responsible for the safety of your children.  The play areas are closed by 10pm to reduce noise on the Park.  Dogs are not permitted onto the play areas.

Caravan Holiday Homes

All of our caravan holiday homes are Thistle graded with full central heating and double glazing and all include bed linen and towels.  There are two or three steps into each of the caravan holiday homes and they all have a patio area with a picnic bench.  

Parking is provided alongside or nearby our caravan holiday homes, which permit two cars per unit, with additional cars to be parked in the parking bays outside Reception, at the entrance to the Holiday Park. Our fully accessible caravan holiday homes are available at our Blairgowrie  & Callander Woods Holiday Parks.

Touring Pitches

Our touring pitches are all on fairly level and accessed by the main tarmac road.  The majority of pitches are gravel underfoot, but we do have a limited number of grass pitches (weather dependent). All of our touring pitches have parking alongside for one car and additional cars can be parked on the forecourt.  Each pitch has its own water tap and shared drainage at the pitch. Our tent pitches are on grass with some offering electric hook-up facility. Electric hook-ups are available on all pitches and are shared/individual bollards. A drive-through dump station is provided for motor homes. 

Additional Information
