Caravan parks in Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve

·

Managed by the National Trust for Scotland, the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve is home to the highest mountain in the central Highlands. Measuring 3,980 feet, Ben Lawers is the reserve’s centerpoint but not the only draw for climbers and walkers as there are seven Munros here (mountains measuring over 3,000 feet. Nature lovers will also love seeing its arctic-alpine flora, which includes many rare and endangered species and more than 600 types of lichen, and can spot wildlife such as red deer, black grouse, and ptarmigan. While there are no campsites in the park, a number of caravan parks and campsites can be found just outside the entrance.

Welcome to Fernlea. We would love to have you visit us, either on our 5 pitch campsite for motorhomes and caravans, or in 2025 to our new luxury glamping pod. Fernlea is our home in the heart of an agricultural plain called “The Carse of Gowrie,” which runs for 20 miles or so along the River Tay between Perth and Dundee. It’s a beautiful area that we hope you will love too. We are a short walk from the village of Errol, with access to lovely walks along the Tay. We are adjacent to the local bus route (just stick your arm out!), the Sustrans cycle route 77, plus only a mile or so from the A90 Perth to Dundee / Aberdeen road. We are perfect for both a short stopover and a longer break with a fascinating local area to explore. All pitches have hard standing, water on each pitch, grey waste disposal adjacent to the pitch, and a 10 or 16 amp electric supply with a chemical toilet waste tank with rinsing tap behind our garage. We are also within easy access to Fife and the southern area of the Highlands. Walkers and bird watchers will find many footpaths by the River Tay and can climb the local hills to see buzzards, hawks, ducks, and migrating geese throughout the seasons. Any visitors requiring repairs or accessories for their van will find the large Perthshire Caravan dealership nearby. Every Sunday, one of Scotland’s largest car boot sales and markets is held less than a mile away. Facilities on the CL Site: - Dog walk from the site - Information room - Recycling facilities - Battery charging - TV reception: good - 16 amp electric on 4 pitches, 10 amp on 5th - Water on all pitches - Chemical toilet disposal point - Lawned site, with gravel hardstandings - Latest arrival time: 9:00 PM - Latest departure time: 12:00 PM Shop/village of Errol within 1 mile.

Absolutely stunning location - you worry when you arrive as it’s a really popular tourist attraction but the car park empties out and it’s very peaceful. Nice walk along the loch side or a boat ride on the loch plus good cafe

It was amazing! The view of the surrounding fells and farms was so tranquil and peaceful. Andrew was a friendly and helpful host. The property was beautiful and there was a good community of campers there that socialized over breakfast. There were also trails on the property that we didn't get to. I would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone that is going to Scotland

Caravan parks in Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve guide

When to go

Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve is open every day, all year-round. For the optimal conditions for hillwalking and mountain climbing, the best time to visit is during spring or summer, which is also the best time to see flowering plants. Weather conditions in winter, and much of fall, can be challenging. If planning to visit any time of year, be sure to have weatherproof gear.

Know before you go

  • Trails up to the mountains start at the car park. Visitors heading onto the trails should have sturdy walking boots, warm and waterproof clothing, and food and drink for the day. 
  • Visitors should observe the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, leave no trace and refrain from picking flowers.
  • The closest public bus stop is in the village of Killin, just outside the reserve. This is also where you’ll find the closest public restroom.
