May tour 4

Stayed here for 2 nights in May weather not great but this site is a must for fishing as the river flows just behind a lot of the pitches. The wardens are very friendly and cheerful and keep the facilities spotless. Great site for site seeing the Trossachs national park.

Excellent Site

Had another lovely stay at this site recently &, as usual, site kept in very good condition by Ann, Brent & the Assistant Wardens. Toilet block spotless. Site ideally suited road trips to Oban, Fort William through Glen Coe & over Rannoch Moor. Many hill walks from Killin itself. Small, well stocked, Co-Op within easy walking distance. Pub across the road serves basic pub grub whilst the Bridge of Lochay Hotel food is superb AND you also get 10% off with your CC Card. Also, for those in the know, the building works opposite the site have finished!

PART WET WEEK but excellent

Just got back from this really nice site ,the weather was not kind to us caravan people ,week commencing the 11th May,we had three days of continuous wet weather and unfortunately pitch 51 ( near the river )flooded our awning out ,apparently the drainage is not very good on this pitch ( so be careful if it rains heavy ). Killin village has enough Pubs/restaurants and the Coop store is excellent for all your needs ,which are all in walking distance of 10/15 mins the site is well placed for people touring and all the amenities are good,the wardens are very helpful and cheerful. We stayed for a week and did a lot of walking IE West Highland way, the old railway line from Killin to Callander and the really nice easy walk down Pier road( NEXT TO THE SITE) which heads down to the loch then back into the village overall a really nice site and very peace full

Excellent site Great Location

We spent a weekend at this site last week and loved it. The facilities are great and always kept clean although the toilet block could maybe be doing with an upgrade. The wardens are very friendly and the pitches are very spacious but one of the best things about the site is the views which are great. The little village of Killin is a 10 minute walk away and the falls of Dochart are a great sight. I took my bike and cycled along national cycle route 7 towards Callander and this was a very good route with great scenery.

Beware The Printed Directions!

Stayed at this site for 5 days in April. Excellent site wardens very helpful in setting up wi-fi. excellent TV picture, have to have dish in vertical position. Very tidy, had a pitch by the river quiet peaceful. Excellent dog walking routes. Local hotel brig of Lochay excellent meal and a good pint. Only one drawback, I followed the printed directions to the letter and ended up in the middle of the woods, had to unhitch to turn around. DO NOT TURN INTO PIER ROAD AS DIRECTIONS STATE.

Stunning site.

This was our first time at this site and we were not disappointed. It is very well laid out along the riverside and the pitches are of a generous size. Within easy walking distance of the town of Killin and all its facilities (nearest newsagent only 5 mins away). The views from the site are typical of the Scottish Highlands and are to die for. We were fortunate (or unfortunate depending on your thoughts) to be there when it was snowing (mid April) and to see the mountains at the back of the site change to white was fantastic. There is free fishing from the site, but the river is very deep and fast and there are only a couple of decent spots to cast a line from due to too much tree growth so be careful. For dog owners, there is no dog walk on site, but just 50 yards out of the site to the left and over the bridge and you have all the space you could need. The locals use the field (when no cattle are present) just over the bridge or you can go on for a few hundred yards and find the old railway track. One way takes you into Killin and the other way takes you to the shores of Loch Tay and beyond. A perfectly placed site to use a base to explore the Southern Highlands and surrounding area. We'll certainly be back.

A favourite site

Maragowan was the first site we visited when we bought a van and restarted caravanning a couple of years ago. This trip simply confirmed it as a really pleasant and comfortable site. The site is really well situated conveniently close to Killin, and the shops are within walking distance. As well as Co-op and Newsagent there is also a good selection of restaurants and hotels and guest houses, together with a useful hardware shop, and a fish and chip van, as well as other shops. The site facilities are good, the toilet block super clean (although the floor is tired) and the reception shop has a small but useful selection of things you might need. The only problem encountered is the inability of many site users to know what 5mph means. Altogether a very nice place to spend time in a lovely scenic area. Recommended!

Lovely site!

We used this campsite for our first ever night in our motorhome and had such fond memories we came back this year. And we were not disappointed, the wardens are friendly and helpful and the facilities are very good. Despite the site being almost full on Easter Sunday it didn't seem too busy and the pitches are quite generous. The scenery is amazing! We have 2 dogs and the walk at the side of the site is excellent and we walked into Killin and then to the Falls of Dochart and a much needed pint at the Inn. The hotel opposite the site is a handy place for dinner. I think the only criticism of Maragowan is that the clean water taps are both on the wrong side for our van, in a one way system, which meant we had to turn the van around and reverse the wrong way. We felt very guilty but when I mentioned it at reception I was told that is what we were expected to do. We'll be back before too long, it's a great site.

Wonderful Scenery Noisy Neighbours

A brilliant location nestled between mountains and local amenities nearby. Toilets are a little tired and we didn't fancy using them. It may be because it was a Bank Holiday but the noise from our neighbours went on until 4am, so we were disappointed. Good walk to local Loch Tay is worthwhile.
