When is the best time to visit Tay Forest Park?

A scenic view of Tay Forest Park

The best time to visit Tay Forest Park is from spring through autumn. Summer is the most popular time to visit, but it can bring crowds and booked-up campsites, so it's best 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 also the best time for spotting wildlife, such as red squirrels, red deer, and the rare capercaillie in the Highland Perthshire area.

Hipcamp has the perfect pitch to match your camping style.
