Great site Forfar Lochside

Very friendly welcome from wardens, a very clean tidy site, the warden is out in the pouring rain picking up any litter, emptying the buckets etc. The toilets & showers are 1st class. Site location is a 7 min walk into the town centre, less to Aldi & Liddles. Forfar Loch is out the main gate & is an hour's walk all the way round, very flat and I would say is OK for wheel chairs. Great site and is one that we use at least couple of times a year.

We was on this site for two days. We are touringup the east coast in to Scotland and was our first stop. Lovely clean site showers lovely the two nights we were there, there were quite a few dogs mostly well behaved and kept on leads but there were two large dogs from the same tent that were quite often off the lead and barking at night was very annoying. It was s lovely site and the wardens were lovely it was just unlucky for us that we were there at that particular time but would like to say that the site is a credit to the wardens

Only one night but enjoyed it

The only complaint was the warden insisting he inspected my van conversion before he let me in. This van has been registered on the web site for at least 3 years, have been asked the questions before but never asked to prove it is suitable for the caravan club. He soon changed his attitude after viewing the interior Is this really necessary as it has been accepted by the caravan club and annual fee's paid. It was embarrassing to say the least to be forced to open up, it begs the question, what would he have done if I had refused , turned me away even though I had booked vie the website. Not a frequent user but have been a member since the early 1990s except for a couple of years after my wife passed away in 2004, I have owned 5 new motor homes all large top of the range, but now find a smaller van conversion designed by myself much better for my needs, If the caravan club insists on new 100,00 vans then they will loose out, I don't intend to go down that road again. As you may guess I am a bit upset to receive that sort of reception on arriving on site.

Lovely site

We had a long weekend at Forfar and really enjoyed it. Very central to the town although quiet at the same time. Sits on a loch which provides a lovely setting for a walk. The shower block is very clean and wardens were pleasant and helpful.

Well Kept & Good Location

A very well looked after site within easy walking distance of the town of Forfar which has a good choice of supermarkets, shops, bars and eating places. Adjacent to the site is a loch with a very pleasant 3 mile walk round it so if you have a dog its near perfect. Curiously one of the two gates from the site is kept permanently locked so you are left wondering why they paid to put it in! The number lock on the only other gate can take a few attempts to get through. The only other strange one is that they shut the toilets for one hour forty five minutes each day! One can only wonder about how messy they are expecting their guests to be! Fairly minor stuff we will certainly be making return visits to this site.

Lochside Forfar

Nice clean site as expected from any Caravan Club Site. Nice location near loch for walks and situated close to shops in Forfar. Seaside locations easily accessed and not far from Dundee to explore the city's attractions. Only a slight gripe - toilet facilities close for cleaning a bit early at 10.30 for 2 hours! Also there is a wet trek across grass to get to toilet block if you are on the far side of the site - suggest placing some slabs at least.

Great site-but!

To start with we had trouble finding the site. Eventually we had to visit the local cop shop, to get directions. A sign, for the CC site, on the main road would be a great advantage. The site was extremely well maintained and looked after. Like another reviewer we also noted  a m/bike running up and down on the road alongside the loch. Not very safe? We feel that the toilet closing times for cleaning are too early and long and for both to be shut at the same time is silly. Another  site  has the same set-up with one door leading into the toilet block, yet they can still split the closing times. Also to be closed from 10.30 am till 12.15 pm is excessive. However, despite these little things we had a great time. The wardens were very friendly and helpful, a rare trait nowadays. The site being so close to local shops and the town center was a great benefit. Very handy for the local attractions.

Well run site but use of adjacent park area problematical

One, apparently young, dirt bike rider ran back and forth at reckless speeds on the adjacent local authority parklands without let or hindrance over an extended period on the evening of our visit.  If this is a regular occurrence perhaps the Club should inform the appropriate authorities not only for the annoyance value but also due to danger to other members of the Public who were quite evidently making use of the same area next to Forfar Leisure Centre.

One of the Best

Forfar Lochside is a beautiful site situated next to the Loch. The site is well sheltered and attractively laid out.  The facility block is maintained spotlessly.  Surely one of the best of the Caravan Club sites.
