Good level pitches and even a very long EHU cable provided!
I needed to stopover on the way south and so phone up at 5.30 ish and arrived about 8. Didn;t actually see anyone (farmers were busy in the yard but I'd been told just to park up) 6 level hardstanding pitches and I guess you could park on the grass if you wanted. The EHU bollard was a very long way behind me at the edge of the field BUT the owners had very thoughtfully provided some extra long cables, so once I attached that to mine I had power! I didbn;t use the tap or the disposal so cannot comment. Paid £20 by bank transfer a couple of days later (I had cash but wasn;t sure where to go to pay) Will almost certainly use again. Good direction instructions too, though the approach road once you leave the main road is long, straight and narrow and in the morning I was treated to an angry looking woman actually tooting at me and glaring because I pulled in to let her pass in the opposite direction. No idea what I did wrong but maybe a local who doesn't like vans (and mines pretty small !)
Just beautiful, Robertson Lane Farm
Lovely place and friendly owners. You just arrive and settle. Very happy with the hard standing spot we chose as it rained quite a bit last night and some of our neighbours had their car in a big puddle, so this is to take into consideration when you choose your spot. The water and black water area is a bit far but easily accessible with the motorhome if needed. The views are stunning. Right in nature but close to things to do as well. We paid £20 per night.

Lovely level CL
Lovely level CL with open outlook. Choice of hard standing or grass pitch. Owner can supply electric extension cables….just ask! Water at front of house, elsan around the back….maybe a bit of a walk for some but possible to drive to the front of the house for shorter distance. Blair Drummond Safari Park less than two miles away. Stirling and the Trossachs close by. Will definitely use again

Great little site
We stayed here for 3 nights when on our way north, and then again for 1 night when heading back south. It is perfectly placed for visiting Stirling and it's historic sites (a short drive). The owner could not be more obliging and friendly. He went out of his way to help with finding a spot to pitch on which was not boggy (there had been a lot of rain during the run-up to our visits). We had no problems getting our motorhome on and off, although you do have to be careful to avoid some boggy areas. The site has a nice open feel, with views of hills and distant mountains. The track leading to the site does have potholes, it is after all a farm track, you simply have to drive very slowly, but it is only a short distance, so we could see no problem with this. We would definitely use this site again.

Basic site, that could do with a bit of work
this site is very basic, it is a farmers field, with EHU down one fence, for the toilet emptying you have to walk all the way round the farm house to the back, it had rained the day before we arrived, and there was several points on the field that were quite boggy, and at one point we did wonder if we were going to get the van stuck trying to get off the field to fill up with water, as pointed out in another review, the road to the site has some quite big pot holes, I wouldn't quite go as far as the biggest in england (especially as this site is in scotland ;) ) but it definitely rocked the van quite a bit, would we stop here again? possibly yes, it gives good access to Stirling, the Safari park is just at the end of the next road but I think next time it would be with the caravan and a 4X4.
Great base
This is a nice site. Easy to get just off the motorway. Access is fine and not pot holed at all. Great views and a good base for safari park, Falkirk wheel Stirling castle etc. Cows can be noisy but quiet at night. I would have liked to be able to sluice out my toilet after emptying but no water provided there.

Pros: quiet, views. Cons: poorly maintained and rough access
We’ve used this CL twice: June 2005 and June 2012. In 2005 the weather had been dry to the field was firm. In 2012 it had been dry for weeks until the day before we arrived when it had rained heavily. After just one day the field was soft in many places. The CL was maintained to a better standard in 2005 compared to 2012: grass too long. But the worst point (both visits) is the access road: the deepest potholes in Britain. We had to negotiate it at much slower than walking pace but even then the van was thrown about. There are a few properties down this lane so the residents’ cars must be rattled to pieces. On our last visit I saw a mound of chippings which I assume were for the potholes. We were only there overnight but if we’d have been longer I would have gladly spent my time filling the potholes. There are pleasant views from the CL and it is handy for Stirling and the motorway. But that rough track means I won’t risk our van again on it so won’t be visiting this CL again.
