Caravan parks in Tay Forest Park

·

Tay Forest Park is a network of forests that are home to some of Scotland’s tallest trees. A good place to start is the Queen’s View Visitor Centre, where you can admire the view over Loch Tummel before continuing to nearby Allean Forest, home to a ruined Pictish ring fort. Faskally, near Pitlochry, and Carie, by Loch Rannoch, both offer easy woodland strolls, and Craivinean boasts spectacular views of the River Tay and a folly. You might spot caipercaillie at the fort at Drummond Hill and in Dalerb. While there are no campsites within the park, there are several just outside, including Inver Mill Farm Holiday Park, which has pitches for tents and tourers close to Caivinean.

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. Facilities on the CL Site: - Dog walk from the site - Information room - Recycling facilities - Battery charging - TV reception: good - 16 amp electric on 4 pitches, 10 amp on 5th - Water on all pitches - Chemical toilet disposal point - Lawned site, with gravel hardstandings - Latest arrival time: 9:00 PM - Latest departure time: 12:00 PM Shop/village of Errol within 1 mile.

Caravan parks in Tay Forest Park guide

When to go

Summer is the most popular time to visit the forest park and the surrounding Highland Perthshire area. The season can bring crowds and booked-up campsites so try to avoid travelling during the Scottish school holidays in July and August. Autumn is a very attractive alternative as the forests will be rich with reds and golds. Spring through autumn is the best time for spotting wildlife, such as red squirrels, red deer and the rare capercaillie.

Know before you go

  • The main visitor centre is at Queen’s View. There you can get information, buy souvenirs and have a bite to eat in the coffeeshop.
  • Be sure to follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code while out and about.
  • There is a bus stop at Kenmore, which is a short walk from the Drummond Hill entrance. You can also catch buses to Faskally and Queen’s View from Pitlochry.
