3 nights at St Conan's Escape

St. Conan's Escape was such a beautiful area to disappear into! The property manager, Hazel, did such a phenomenal job of preparing the space--it was so beautifully-decorated and clearly well-maintained that I could see this as the perfect experience for other solo travelers or couples looking for a beautiful location to sink into. I found St. Conan's Escape when looking for a place to go off-grid for a couple of days in the midst of traveling, and it had everything I needed--all of the amenities including plenty of cookware, a bathroom and extremely comfortable bed, so that I could focus on my writing projects. What a beautiful scenery it's in, too! I woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the mountains in the distance and I was so sad to leave such a majestic view. I would absolutely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a new experience!

Weekend Trip to Muiredge

We loved the cabin. Spacious and we slept very well. The best shower ever! The campsite has wonderful views and is well maintained. We used the bbq and fire pit. The barn is well equipped for cooking and relaxing. Angus is a wonderful host. Definitely would return to Muiredge when in Scotland!

4 nights at St Conan's Escape

St. Conan's Escape was lovely- the perfect place to stay during our venture to western Scotland. The accommodations were perfect, the view was excellent, and the host was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be looking up this cute little Basecamp for our next adventure in Scotland! Thank you!

Crieff camping guide

Where to go

Around Town

Crieff has become a foodie destination in recent years, and staying around town puts you within easy reach of its restaurants and whisky distillery. Within walking distance of Crieff’s town centre, Braidhaugh Holiday Park has fully serviced, hard-standing pitches for tourers, as well as a selection of glamping pods, some with hot tubs.

Comrie

West of Crieff, the village of Comrie sits in the middle of Glen Lednock and Glen Artney. Nearby, surrounded by Perthshire hills, Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre houses a variety of wildlife, and is worth a visit. Situated on a 231-acre (93-hectare) estate, the laid-back Comrie Croft offers tent camping in its meadows and woodlands, and glamping in its tipi-style Norwegian Katas.

Dunblane

South of Crieff, the town of Dunblane is home to many scenic walks and cycling routes: taking in the views with a leisurely stroll along the Allan Water is a must-do. In a rural location between Crieff and Dunblane, Craighead Howf covers eight acres (three hectares) of farmland and gardens. The site has a choice of unique and quirky glamping and self catering accommodation.

When to go

The weather is at its best—and the days are long—from May to September, making this the peak visitor season in Crieff and the surrounding Perthshire region. However the season can bring crowds and booked-up campsites. If planning to visit in the summer, try to avoid travelling during the school holidays in July and August. Autumn is a good alternative as the countryside will be ablaze in rich colours and blooming purple heather. Winters are chilly and dark but a sprinkling of snow can turn the countryside into a winter wonderland.

Know before you go

Wild camping is possible throughout Scotland, but comes with responsibilities. Check the Scottish Outdoor Access Code website to find out more.
There is no railway station in Crieff, but regular buses connect the town with Perth train station, which has direct connections to Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond. Local buses can get you to most nearby places of interest.
There are several well-stocked supermarkets in Crieff’s town centre where you can stock up on the essentials. For bigger purchases, head for Perth.
