1 night at Beirhope Alpacas

Amazing wild camping experience (with luxuries), not far from Kelso. Peaceful spot with a handful of pitches ideal for families and couples, Lynne and staff are warm and welcoming, super friendly. Firewood and groceries can be accessed anytime you need, just pay in the morning. Eco toilets are cleaned regularly. Great stargazing area and a picnic area too, plenty of space and idyllic scenery...and there are the alpacas. Beautiful spot... Just don't tell everyone!

Weekend Trip to Beirhope Alpacas

Beirhope was a beautiful, peaceful place to stay and Lynne was super welcoming. The kids loved it and have demanded that we return as soon as possible!

Weekend Trip to Beirhope Alpacas

A very well organised campsite. Lynne was friendly and very accommodating. She gave a brief tour and explanation of the facilties, which was plentiful, then allowed us to set up our pitch. There are a number of pitches available, each one catering for a range of campers. I would wholeheartedly recommend this campsite to others.

Weekend Trip to Aberdeenshire Airstream

Stuart really put thought and effort into making the Airstream and area into an amazing place to stay. With a deck, gas BBQ, firepit and lots of spots to sit outside it makes for a very relaxed time away. The area is very quiet but there is lots to see and do that's not very far. Truly a great host, it was a pleasure to stay there.

1 night at West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite

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

1 night at West Highland Way Hotel & Campsite

Very friendly staff. Easy to find. Great facilities. Lovely walks right at back of premises. Only downside for me was the noise off other campers. People turning up and setting stuff up after 10 pm. Also loud group of lads. But I’m use to wild camping so maybe noise would be acceptable for most.

3 nights at Highland & Transylvania Glamp. Pod

The pod was very clean and organized. The hosts came in and tidied up and left clean towels just like a hotel. They also gave us a tour when we got there and explained how the shower and door lock works instead of us having to use trial and error. The pod has plenty of storage space under the bed and all of the appliances work. Definitely will stay there again. The space is okay for two people, but probably not three.

Weekend Trip to Ruberslaw Wild Woods Camping

Ruberslaw was the most delightful camping experience. The hosts were welcoming and superb. The amenities were top notch, and the surroundings utterly delightful. Highly recommend.

1 night at Loch Katrine Eco Camping

Quite basic - you're sleeping in a car park - but it's beautiful setting and the toilets were clean.

Campsites near Perth guide

Overview

An elegant and compact city that sits on the banks of the River Tay, Perth is the ideal base for exploring the magnificent Perthshire countryside. Long known as the “Fair City,” Perth and its nearby surroundings are home to plentiful green spaces, with plenty of walking trails and cycling routes. Other popular activities here include golf, watersports and horse riding, as well as exploring the fascinating Black Watch Castle and Museum and, on the city’s outskirts, the grand Scone Palace. Those wishing to set up camp nearby will find plenty of options, from the elegant palace grounds to a yurt with its own hot tub.

Where to go

Scone

Just a couple of miles north of Perth’s city centre, Scone is famed for its Scone Palace, once the crowning place of Scottish kings, including Macbeth and Robert the Bruce. After exploring the palace’s opulent interiors, you can take a stroll in the lush surrounding gardens and woodland. On the palace’s estate, campers can find grass and hardstanding pitches, as well as safari tents.

Auchterarder

A 20-minute drive southwest of Perth, Auchterarder is a pretty village that is best known as home to the Gleneagles championship golf course. Those not staying at the ritzy Gleneagles resort can opt for a nearby glamping experience in a yurt with hot tub or cabin on wheels.

Falkland

Below the Lomond Hills, Falkland is famed for its 16th-century Falkland Palace, once the favoured countryside retreat of the Stuart monarchs. It’s also a prime location for walkers, who can embark on a number of low-level walks in the nearby Lomond Hills Regional Park, and wildlife watchers who can see abundant birdlife on Loch Leven. On the edge of the park, find basic pitches for tents and small campers.

The Hermitage

A 30-minute drive north of Perth, The Hermitage is an unmissable attraction due to its Ossian’s Hall of Mirrors, a folly made with mirrors, sliding panels, and paintings to create a dramatic view of the Black Linn waterfall. Expect pitches for tents, caravans, and motorhomes in the area.

When to go

With its promise of good weather, long days and a full event calendar, summer is the most popular time to visit Perth. However the season can bring crowds and booked-up campsites in the Perthshire region. 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.

Know before you go

Wild camping is legal throughout Scotland as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
A train station in Perth offers direct connections to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, and beyond.
Perth has plenty of well-stocked supermarkets and a few outdoors shops.
