Excellent site, spacious and quiet.
Forfar Lochside Club Campsite
New members so limited experience of caravanning and CAMH sites but found Forfar an excellent location with large pitches and friendly helpful staff. Facilities were spotless and easy access from across the well laid out site which was nice and quiet during our stay. Shower block has a load of information on local restaurants and places to visit with visitor recommendations included. Short walk into town for shops etc and a lochside path is accessible through a coded gate beside kids play area. Good location for visiting Dundee with the V&A museum and Discovery Point. Kirriemuir is also a short drive, worth a visit for all rock fans, with a statue to AC/DC’s Bon Scott and a museum display. Will definitely be back!
Forfar Second Visit 2023
Forfar Lochside Club Campsite
Second visit this year to fabulous site . Lovely location. Easy walking distance to town and couple of minutes walk to supermarket. Very very well maintained site. Wardens do a fantastic job here. They are very pleasant , helpful and friendly and we're delighted they will be remaining in Forfar in 2024. . There is a lovely circular walk around a pond accessed from a gate on site. It's 2½ miles and is flat ideal for people less mobile. You can watch rugby or cricket en route if games are on. All in all a great place to be and we may return before Winter shutdown.
Fabulous site
Forfar Lochside Club Campsite
We stayed on a tent pitch. Drainage was excellent and the pitches are close to the toilets. The site is immaculate and well maintained. Wardens on site were very friendly and helpful. Location of the site is great for dog walking as it is right on the Forfar Loch park, also easy walk into the town for eating out buying groceries etc. Had lunch at the Little Green cafe prices were excellent as was the food and service. Will definately visit this site again when we have our new van.
peaceful site with good sized pitches and great facilities
Forfar Lochside Club Campsite
This was may 3rd or 4th visit to the site as I have an elderly relative nearby. I really like the layout and the pitch size, plus the proximity to Forfar town and I'm sure I'll be back.
Just 3 slight niggles (but not nearly enough to stop me returning!)
Please install some sort of paved path to the loo block across the grass! I'm sure this has been raised by others and I know I have mentioned it before. It's not great having to walk across the wet grass when the rest of the site is so well thought out.
Probably a few too many notices now...all over the walls of the loo block and the dishwashing area; about recycling, pitch spacing, energy efficiency etc etc.
Yes these are all very important issues and you should draw campers attention to them; but not on every available free space because they then become invisible, like wallpaper (literally)
And lastly, maybe he was having a bad day but i did find the male warden pretty brusque and unsmiling, whilst the lady was really nice and friendly and welcoming.
Well maintained
Forfar Lochside Club Campsite
Third visit , and will return, Love the care and attention to the flowers and herbs. Very pleasant surroundings, enhanced by the care of the wardens. Could not fault this site, don't forget to hunt out the keys to access the Castle hill, in the centre of town, also worth visiting the Restenneth priory just out of town
