About Blair Castle Caravan Park

The park is ideally set right at the entrance to the Cairngorms National Park and is very popular with families and mature couples looking to explore the area's picturesque landscapes. Set in the grounds of Blair Castle, this is a picturesque site for exploring Highland Perthshire. Those travelling light with just a backpacker tent can pitch up on one of two grass pitches, each measuring 4m x 3m. Other larger tents have the option of either one of the 37 electric or 14 non-electric grass pitches. Tourers can pick between one of three non-electric, 34 electric and 65 fully serviced pitches, all on hardstanding. For the largest motorhomes, there are eight supersized motorhome pitches which are 18m long, that also enjoy the luxury of being fully serviced. For those seeking a glamping experience, why not stay in the camping pods for up to four (two adults, two children), complete with heating, electricity and a comfy sofa bed to keep you snug. Six of the pods are pet free, and four are pet friendly so you don't have to leave your dog behind! For a holiday with a difference, also choose from a great range of glamping pods, woodland lodges and caravan holiday homes. Explore the many miles of outdoor space offered by Atholl Estates, in addition to the spacious green areas within the park. For those wanting a unique adventure, you can also hop on a segway and take a woodland or forest tour! BBQs are welcome, as long as they're off the ground. Open fires are not allowed. Dogs are welcome on all of the pitches and in the pet friendly pods, caravans and woodland lodges.

Camping, touring and camping pods are available March to November. The woodland lodges and caravan holiday homes are available all year round.

Camping Pod - Camping Pods (Dog Friendly)Aug 2024

Amazing couple of days/nights in these little pods. Everything you need and campsite is just amazing. So clean, everything you need and really family friendly. Pods are nice and cosy, decking is perfect for sitting and taking in the scenery. We loved it so much that we stayed another night. Will definitely be back next year for longer, my 3 year old loved it.

Lovely relaxing little break

Camping Pod - Camping Pods (Dog Friendly)Aug 2024

I enjoyed 3 nights in a camping pod with my teenage daughter and Siberian husky. The pod was basic but comfortable enough. The facilities on site were good with a decent amount of shower blocks, which meant no real issues at busy times. Excellent for dog walking and beautiful scenery. A few local shops and eating places close by. I would recommend 'Nae Limits' for lunch, about 15 minutes drive and 'The Bothy Bar' for a meal, which is within walking distance. Pitlochry is a 5 minute drive too with plenty of shops including the usual coffee and ice cream places.
