Cosy Caravan in Roshven

5. Cosy Caravan in Roshven

128km from Crieff · 1 unit
This self-contained trailer has been a well loved part our home since 2010. We’re happy to welcome friends and visitors to stay in it from time to time. A beautiful, wild and remote setting on the West Coast of Scotland. Peace and quiet! A useful stopover on the way to the Skye ferry. Cars/bikes and wellington boots are recommended. Eggs from our free range hens are available to buy. It is a drive to reach the small local shops/pubs. Walks to beaches and woods. We look forward to welcoming you. The vintage caravan is a cosy, quiet, self-contained space positioned close by our house. It is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis. Through the windows you can glimpse mountains and trees. There’s a small double bedroom and another small bedroom that can be arranged either with a generous single or small twin beds that are ideal for young children. The living area has couches and a dining table. The kitchenette has all the basics, fridge, microwave and a gas cooker. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and toilet. This self-catering accommodation has its own private lockable entrance. Guests have access to the caravan, garden, and driveway. Nearest shops/pubs are a 20-30min DRIVE away - it's a good idea to bring everything you need as the road is long and you may not feel like going out again! Please let me know in advance if you require the small twin beds made up. From the last week of May through to early September it is midge season in the Scottish Highlands, so be prepared to encounter these tiny biting flies - however, a light breeze and a stick of citronella incense is usually enough to disperse them! On still nights I strongly recommend that you keep the windows closed, otherwise you may find clouds of midges invade your space. There is a cooling fan to make warm evenings more comfortable. A haven for creatives! During April and October we host artists’ residencies specially for socially engaged practitioners who would benefit from some time to rest and reconnect with nature. When you book via Hipcamp, a small community fee is added to your daily booking charge and this goes to support these residencies by helping to pay for logs for the wood stove during the artists' visits.

Dog-friendly camping near Crieff 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.
