Why stay here ...

Forfar Lochside Club Site offers a picturesque parkland location on the shores of the loch within Forfar Loch Country Park. The beautiful country park is ideal for dog walking, cycling or a quiet stroll through the trees with fantastic views - for keen walkers it is possible to walk round the entire loch! This award-winning caravan site is also situated within a few minutes' walk of the bustling centre of Forfar, the county town of Angus. 

The site has undergone extensive improvements since its acquisition by the Club. With five acres of flat, grassy parkland providing 70 pitches for touring caravans and motorhomes, the caravan site is adjacent to a splendid children's play area, pitch and putt, crazy golf and football pitches.

Forfar is an excellent base from which to explore Glamis Castle (childhood home of the Queen Mother), the Angus Glens which offer spectacular hillwalking and the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of the Angus coast. For golf enthusiasts there are 16 courses within easy reach, including one in Forfar itself.

First Class Site

Just returned home after my third stay at Forfar Lochside. The facilities were, as usual, immaculate due to the the hard working, friendly wardens who never seemed to stop for a break. I hope they enjoy a lot of rest and recuperation now that the site is closed. Perfect for anyone wishing to explore the many interesting places in Angus and with easy access to Forfar itself which has supermarkets and other useful shops and businesses. Dog walkers will find the excellent trail around the loch directly outside the gates. Nature lovers will be well rewarded too with many surprises. I saw an Osprey fishing the loch from my pitch last summer and the numbers of over wintering duck and geese were starting to build up on this visit. An excellent site with great wardens. I will return.

Satisfaction guaranteed

This is the second time we have stayed at this site this year and it won't be the last. Normally we put our van to bed after September but she's staying up a bit longer because we are coming up here again. We had a lovely time here in August which was only spoiled by some numpty in the adjacent houses playing very loud music from two in the afternoon till gone ten thirty at night. No consideration for anyone. I would hate to be their neighbour! Anyway the site was brilliant as usual. everything clean and tidy. Phil the warden never seemed to stop working, I got tired just watching him everyday. Kris his wife could not do enough to help you and it was carried out with a smile and and a kind word. These wardens are a breath of fresh air and made our stay just that bit more memorable. I would definitely recommend this site for people looking for a site with easy access to the local town and as a base for touring the adjacent country side. Well done Kris and Phil!!!

We have visited lochside at least 3 times this year. There is a great Loch to walk round with the dog and local amenities are within easy walking distance. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and can’t wait to come back.

Another good stay

Been here numerous times site always immaculate and made even better by the glorious sunshine. We would recommend this site to anyone if you have not tried it then do so at the first opportunity. Everything is on the doorstep, park, Loch with great 2.5 mile circular walk, shops and supermarkets. Unlike some other reviewers we have alway found everyone to be really friendly and a large percentage dog owners the majority being well behaved and on lead or tied up. Will be back again soon.
