Stayed here at the beginning of August. A busy site at that time of year. Site at edge of village so easy walking access to Killin for pubs, cafes shops etc. Facilities clean, wardens pleasant. The annual Killin highland games was held in the village when we were there, an enjoyable experience.
Fine touring site
A very nice site, good location, not much in Killin, some road noise, poor TV/phone/Wifi signal. Fine flat site good pitches, wouldn't say it was a great childrens site mainly because of the River Tay which flows a few yards away and its a deep river. Friendly helpful wardens who kept the site & the toilet/shower block very neat clean & tidy. Great site for touring about from easy access to the Trossachs, Fort William Oban. Definitely return next year.
Simply the best
When we arrived the ass wardens told us where the best pitches were because of occasional flooding and we were there for 14 days.The site was always clean and tidy. The washing machines were excellent,and there was a washing basket that you could loan.The showers and toilets were always spotless.It was a shame that the facilities had not been updated the non slip floor was always clean but it did look dirty.The wardens were great especially Micheal the ass warden who gave us lots of information about the area which was so helpful.The river ran along side the site and you could see the hills in the distance. It was very relaxing.We have been with the club 14 years and this was simply the most welcoming site we have ever stayed on.Thank you

Great Setting
Lovely site situated directly by the river, so great for the fishermen. Easy walk into this picturesque village. Good facilities on site and they are well maintained. Good access to Pitlochry and Blair Atholl
Really peaceful site
Stayed just one night (wish it could have been more) as I was on a dash up north to join my family for a longer holiday. Staff were really welcoming and helpful, going that extra mile to make a difference. Very clean, peaceful site that I shall certainly return to with the rest of the family.

Beautiful situation
This was our first time at Maragowan and certainly won't be the last. From the booking direct with the Site everything was first class. It nestles in the hills and is a short walk to the village and the local Co-op which is very well stocked and very busy.
The site is well kept and we had a lovely view over the river. It was very busy but even then never had to queue for the facilities which were kept clean and well stocked.
Used theMotor Home point and didn't have to queuefor it either. Round about there are beautiful walks along the river and to Loch Tay and woodland walks the other side of the spectacular falls of Dochart which are quite unique.
All in all a great stay and looking forward to finding an excuse to go back.
First stay on this site for many years
My wife and I staying only stayed one night last weekend on Maragowan.We were greeted with a very friendly welcome from the staff member on duty.The site was in excellent condition,the amenities were first class,toilet block ,showers,were in very good clean condition,in fact on departure I commended the staff member I spoke with on the well maintained condition of the site.We will have no hesitation returning to this site again in the very near future and hopefully be able to stay longer next time.Thank you Ken Riva.

Good night stay
Site was nice and peaceful.
We stayed for 2 nights.
Pretty little village just down the road.
Staff helpful.
I agree the toilet block is a bit tired, but have seen worse.
Just a short stay
We arrived in the evening, and were pleasantly greeted.
The site was clean and tidy, pitches nice and level.
Shower block is starting to look a bit tired by comparison to some sites, but was clean and functional.
The village nice and we enjoyed a coffee by the falls. As others have said the site is next to an A road, but not very busy overnight.
Plenty to do I the area.
Serenity
Or almost. A lovely peaceful site nestling in the shadow of Ben Lawers. It is close to the main A road but remember this is the Highlands and traffic is almost none existent at night, practically the only nocturnal sounds being the gentle rippling of the River Lochay and the occasional hoot of an owl. In the day time you may be lucky enough to spot a red kite too.
If I were being critical the toilet block is not quite as modern as some sites I've stayed at but every bit as clean. Watch out for the midges too, the site shop sells citronella candles and Avon Skin So Soft (as recommended by HM Special Forces).
Despite that, I'd certainly return if only for the experience of avoiding ecclesiastically white sheep, a very contented looking highland cow and red deer on the roads, all of which were encountered on our last trip.
