Cobleland Campsite

Forest-floor camping on the River Forth with a hands-on owner and a Trossachs National Park address that earns every pitch.

Cobleland sits on the banks of the River Forth inside Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, two miles from Aberfoyle via a purpose-built cycle track. The woodland pitches tuck beneath oak trees at the edge of Loch Ard Forest; from some you can hear the river. The Trossachs skyline accounts for the rest: Ben Lomond and Ben Venue are both visible, and Loch Katrine is a short drive into the park.

Owner Oliver runs the place with visible commitment. Reviews consistently single him out by name, whether for keeping the facilities spotless, stocking a proper on-site shop, or handing out drams to guests on New Year's Eve. A coffee shop and a pizza van operate on site, which makes this a more complete package than the forest address might suggest. The woodland pitches offer real seclusion; the hardstanding electric bays suit tourers wanting a settled base for the Trossachs.

Walkers and cyclists get the most from the location: the River Trail, the Easter Trail, and the Highland Boundary Fault Trail all start nearby, Aberfoyle is 15 minutes by bike, and the Rob Roy Way passes close. Blair Drummond Safari Park, Doune Castle, and Stirling Castle are all within range for families wanting day-trip variety.

Before you book
