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.

Spacious clean campsite. Now our best one yet!
We chose the upper circle which gave us a lot more space and better views.
Clean toilets. Nice little shop with extras for guests.
Will certainly recommend and return.

I loved the campsite. The plots were very spacious and not at all crammed in, so there was lots of room for my toddler to run around in. The facilities were good as there was a static caravan with a kitchen, bathroom, toilet and even a couple of lounge areas, which would be useful if you got bad weather. It was so handy having the use of a hot water for washing up. I would definitely go back!

Cairngorm Glamping 🩷. This is a beautiful place to stay, with friendly, chilled hosts. Tucked in among the hills of Upper Donside, the view towards the Lecht is lovely … morning or evening. The surrounding countryside is magical. The site has several fields set up for tents / vans / Motorhomes, with or without services.
The animal park is very sweet, with goats who seem to spend all day teasing each other and an adorable donkey who wants to talk to everyone 🥰 … the zip-line park was popular with kids of all ages and there’s a food bothy if you don’t feel like cooking.
Shower and toilet facilities are clean and well located. They never seemed to be “busy” even though we were there before and during Lonach Gathering weekend.
Grey and waste water services are well placed for Motorhome access.
As a Scot who lives overseas, I love that places like Cairngorm Glamping exist. They showcase the scenery and provide camping access to areas of countryside that might otherwise be missed by visitors.
Just wish we’d had time to stay longer … but will return! 🥰🩷🙏

We loved tent camping at Walkmill, the site was beautifully maintained in a stunning location near the river. Plenty of wildlife to enjoy while sat around the fire pit - we saw a barn owl and hares during our two night stay. The pitches were well spaced out and the site shop had everything you might need in a pinch -we recommend bringing cash for the honesty box. The location is a 45min walk to Warkworth Castle and the coast/coastal path so there is plenty to keep you busy. We are looking forward to coming back!

It would take less time to write what didnt stand out.
This is the best, most well kept Campsite we have been to. The fields are really well kept with the most beautiful surroundings. Good Big pitching spaces. Facilities kept clean and always stocked. The Little Critter is a bloody brilliant idea, you can buy feed and go into the first pen and feed the goats, llama and alpaca. There is also a donkey, ponies and a horse, and some chickens.
The owners have 4 amazingly friendly dogs. So beautiful and love attntion. 2 of them stay in their garden an want you to throw the ball. Theres a wee shop if you need summit last minute.
The washing stations for dishes and the showers etc all have hot - YES - HOT water. There is a massice connect 4 game, swing sets, quiditch poles, a flying fox, an inground trampoline, a sandpit with toys, bikes and go karts all available for the kids and older kids etc. picnic tables.
They also provide off the ground fire pits, (there is no time that you have to put it out or get to bed, just be respectful) If you need wood you can take it and pay the next day.
Hot rolls and coffee are available in the morning to buy.
Robert and his wife and team are all absolutely lovely and nothing is too much. Robert even helped to move my sisters car off a ledge when she missed some signs saying to not turn 🫣😁.
The best part as if all of the above was not enough.... NAE MIDGES ❤️ Thank you so so much for an amazing wee break away.

Dog-friendly caravan parks near Armadale guide
Where to go
Sleat Peninsula
Attractions scattered around the Sleat peninsula, close to Armadale, include the 13th-century Dunscaith Castle and 14th-cenutry Knock Castle. Outdoor enthusiasts can embark on the 5.5-mile (nine kilometer) walk to the Point of Sleat, the most southerly point on Skye. A stone’s throw from the ferry terminal, Rubha Phoil is a small and quiet campsite with tent pitches in wooded areas and cozy cabins. Campers will likely spot birds, seals, otters, and possibly sea eagles and dolphins.
Broadford
Those traveling by road to Skye typically pass through Broadford, the island’s second-biggest settlement (after Portree). A 25-minute drive north of Armadale, it also offers a good, central base for exploring the rest of the island and is within easy reach of attractions including the Spar Cave, Blackhilll Waterfall and the Fairy Pools. On the northern edge of Broadford, and within a short walking distance of the shops and restaurants, Camping Skye enjoys a peaceful setting, surrounded by woodland. The site has hard-standing pitches for motorhomes and caravans, as well as tent pitches. Five miles north, the adults only Lochside Caravan Site has hand-standing pitches for caravans with views toward the island of Scalpay. If you are a Camping and Caravanning Club member, you can pitch up at Ashaig Campsite, three miles east of Broadford.
Sligachan
Heading farther north into Central Skye, the small settlement of Sligachan is around 30 miles from Armadale. Sligachan is an alluring destination for its setting in the Black Cuillin mountains and is the perfect base for mountain climbers. In the shadow of the magnificent mountain range, and next to a sparkling river, Sligachan Campsite has hard-standing and grass pitches for tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes.
When to go
The summer months promise the best conditions for exploring the Isle of Skye, but these months can also see the island uncomfortably crowded with tourists. The best time to visit is just outside peak season, such as April or October; while the weather will be cooler, it’s worth it to not have to deal with crowds. A winter visit almost guarantees you’ll have the place to yourself but some businesses may be closed.
Know before you go
- Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before traveling.
- If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
- While you can get around Skye by bus, having your own transport offers far more flexibility.
- There is a small shopping area in Armadale where you can buy essentials. For bigger purchases, try Portree.
- The weather on Skye is always unpredictable. Even in summer, you should bring warm, waterproof gear.
