Best Caravan Parks in Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve

Flanders Moss’ status as the largest lowland raised bog in the UK may not, at first, sound particularly exciting, but a visit will reveal how special this nature reserve is. An ancient and wild landscape, Flanders Moss is covered with sphagnum mosses and a wide variety of specialist plants and animals that create a colorful carpet of reds, oranges and greens. You can enjoy the captivating view by taking a stroll along the boardwalk, and from the viewing tower that provides views all across the reserve. While there is no camping within the reserve, the campsites at Trossachs Holiday Park and Cobleland are both within a 15-minute drive.

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.

Weekend Trip to Loch Katrine Eco Camping

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

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

Caravan parks in Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve guide

When to go

Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve has something different to appeal all year round. In spring and summer, the reserve is covered in fluffy white bog cotton and filled with nesting birds. You’re also likely to see reptiles such as frogs, toads and lizards. In fall the color palette changes to rich orange and you can see rutting red deer. Winter is worth a visit for the spectacle of wintering geese roosting on the lake.

The bog can be deeper than it looks: Be sure to stick to the boardwalk and paths.
Visitors should observe the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, leave no trace and refrain from picking flowers.
The closest public bus stop is in Thornhill 2.5 miles (four kilometres) away. The closest train station is Stirling, nine miles (15 kilometres) away.
The 3,000-foot (900-metre) boardwalk is accessible for wheelchair users.
