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.

We loved this site! It was easy to find and when we arrived we were greeted by Cathryn who was very welcoming and her 20+ gorgeous cats! The pitch had stunning views of Scarfell in the distance and was very peaceful with only the soothing sounds of the sheep and cows breaking the silence. The toilet block was immaculately clean and the shower had plenty of hot water. We will definitely stay here again when we visit this part of the country.

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

Where to go
In Town
On the banks of the River Ayr, the Craigie Estate has lovely wooded gardens that are ideal for a wander through. On the grounds you can spot wildlife such as owls, kestrels, sparrowhawks, and you may even see an otter or two down by the river. On the grounds of Craigie Estate, and within easy walking distance of the town centre of Ayr and beach, Ayr Craigie Gardens Club Site has pitches for tents and tourers.
Alloway
Just a few minutes south of Ayr, the suburb of Alloway is the heart of Burns heritage tourism. At the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum you can see the cottage where he was born, the Burns Monument and Memorial Gardens, the museum that holds important collections of work and places associated with Tam o’ Shanter, much of which was set here. Under three miles away (4.5 kilometres), Craig Tara Holiday Park has pitches for tourers, an indoor swimming pool and direct beach access.
Coylton
Heading inland, five miles (eight kilometres) east of Ayr, the small village of Coylton is known for its 14th-century Sundrum Castle. On the castle grounds, Sundrum Holiday Park is a top choice for families thanks to its ample facilities including a heated pool, crazy golf course and amusement arcade. It has plenty of room for tents and tourers.
When to go
Ayr is typically a summertime destination, particularly for short break holiday makers from Glasgow. In the summer months temperatures range from mild to warm, with the chance of the occasional hotter day, and daylight hours are long. Spring and autumn are both also good options for fewer crowds compared to summer and the weather is typicallly mild after April and through October. Winters don’t get too cold but you may encounter storms and closed businesses.
Know before you go
- Wild camping is possible throughout Scotland but campers are required to adhere closely to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
- Ayr is a one-hour train journey from Glasgow. Regular local buses can get you to most places of interest in the surrounding area.
- There are plenty of well-stocked supermarkets in Ayr and you’ll also find a handful of outdoor and camping gear stores.
