Cobleland Caravan and Camping Site Check weather in area or contact site before you head up here as, with previous reviews, site is prone to getting boggy. We struggled to get a dry pitch after 36 hours of heavy rain, and after another 12 hours of rain 2 days later, whole site was virtually unusable and we had to head home. Shame, as this could be a very nice site by the river, though a little overcrowded for my liking in August - even midweek. Staff were first class and very knowledgable of all going on in area. Could be a bit of a trek to facilities which were a bit sparse considering the amount of tents they let in, but very clean and servicable. A nice area with plenty to do. Try Castle Redknock Trekking centre 4 miles away, great value and segway trekking is ace. A.A.Activities nearby is also good value for quad's, dirt buggies etc. Weather aside, we enjoyed our stay, but my advice would be to check first for conditions and how busy they are.

Cobleland Caravan and Camping Site Pre-booked this as minimum stay is 2 nights. 2 adults & 2 children worked out at £44 for both nights. Staff showed us where to pitch straight away. There's a small shop selling rolls, milk & other small supplies for tents. The toilet block & showers were kept very clean with staff there throughout our stay cleaning them. The park was nice & quiet at night even though the kids were happy playing away within the playpark & throughout, great for families when your trying to get kids to bed! Great walks throughout the park & the river near by for the kids to spalsh about in. Aberfoyle just a mile up the road worth a visit. A great stay & would definetly return.

Cobleland Caravan and Camping Site We have visited this site 3 times now and love it - camping doesn't get much better than this!!! Staff are fantastic - it's not just a job to these guys they work night and day and can't do enough for you. always quiet by 10.30pm - a must if you have young children - and spotless facilities - the toilets are cleanest i've ever seen!! Shop onsite sells the basics, milk, rolls etc plus camping gear, such as tent pegs, gas, disposable bbq's etc, plus dvd library, book, second hand equipment for sale (proceeds to charity). small playpark onsite can be seen from practically anywhere on the grass pitches. A great base for central scotland. We can't wait to go back!!!! Type of accommodation: Tent Date: 19/04/2011 Was this review helpful for you? 16 of 38 found this review to be helpful.

Cobleland Caravan and Camping Site Initially booked for 2 nights but enjoyed Cobeland so much we stayed 7 nights! Wardens Graeme and Lesley gave us a friendly welcome and were extremely helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. Toilets and showers were kept clean and tidy. The site, situated on the River Forth is ideally located for many scenic drives and forest walks. It is worth visiting the David Marshall visitor centre above Aberfoyle (a few minutes drive from the site) as a good introduction to the area. We hope we can return soon!

Cobleland Caravan and Camping Site when I saw the reports on this site i thought what a gem ive missed ,our experiance however did not match that of others, the entire cmp field was waterlogged,although the site book does admit to some floodding, it had been raining locally from about 10 am we arrived on site 16:30 the staff on arrival were most welcoming and helpful also the grounds guys we met very cheery,however there are only 4 showeres for 135 pitches(1 of the doorsa would not lock) and the lady inside got quite a fright when i opened it the facilities provvided were spotless and could not be fualted -simply inadequte our motorhome pitch was up a hill in an area that could best be described as a disused quarry with wash down from the surrounding trees arriving right at our door we could not erect our awning as the pegs are not suitable for stone I would suggest anyone with kids should think carefully about taking them to this site the river was in spate when we were there, the upper site could be improved by cutting down some of the trees as at present there is no outlook from any of the pitches Type of accommodation: Camper Date: 17/08/2009 Was this review helpful for you? 6 of 39 found this review to be helpful.

Cobleland Caravan and Camping Site this is a great wee site right in the heart of scotland. staff are excellent and not o.t.t. as other reviews suggest. this site is run just the way my family and i like it. enjoy the company of others but also let others have their space. forrests all around so plenty of walking if you wish, a half hours walk and you are in aberfoyle town, with some shops and pubs if you wish. all in all agreat place to visit for a night or longer. we stayed 5 night but wish it could be longer. will return.

Cobleland Caravan and Camping Site Lovely well kept tidy and peacefull campsite. Toilets, showers and laundry area clean and tidy (only four shower rooms). No log fires allowed but bbq's are as long as they are a good distance off the ground. Stands available free of charge to help with this matter. Although our bbq didnt fit on a stand wardens provided a breeze block to prevent grass from getting scorched. Good walks and cylce paths right on campsite's doorstep. Good 30min walk in to Aberfoyle along tarmac path with reasonable/good access for wheelchairs or the option of forest trail in same direction. Motel 'The RobRoy' half way along, although my partner and I felt this was more suited to older age groups however it was a nice refreshment all the same. Campsite staff helpful and appeared to keep order on the site for everyone's benefit. Midges not that bad either even though it is along side the River Forth (good breeding ground for them) Not sure if fishing was allowed but kids were and seemed to enjoy catchin a fish or 2.

Cobleland Caravan and Camping Site We picked this site from the reviews we read here and were not disappointed. The staff were very helpful and friendly - a booking problem was sorted out immediately, and some noisy people were dealt with very promptly by the manager. The site has a lovely friendly atmosphere - lots of children playing out with plenty of adults keeping an eye on them - this of course depends who else is on site, but very family orientated and quiet at night. Surrounding area has lots of great things to do - you can take a cycle path to nearby Aberfoyle or Callendar, great walking and exploring. The facilities are clean and perfectly okay. We would definitely go back. Type of accommodation: Tent Date: 10/08/2007 Was this review helpful for you? 5 of 28 found this review to be helpful.

Cobleland Caravan and Camping Site We spent the May bank holiday there. I have never been to a more crowded campsite. Having said that the manager warned me when I booked that the pitches were small. It turns out that the site is part of the forestry commission group that are being invested in by the Camping & Caravan club so you get a £3 discount if you belong to that club. Furthermore, fingers crossed they will be investing in the toilet block etc in the next 12 months or so. The site is much as the other reviews say. Fantastic cycling (off road ) from the site in all directions as well as a sustrans track. A river along the edge has a beach area with much adventuring to be had. Staff were really helpful - because they were full and pitch sizes were tight they had men out and about placing the caravans for us - they helped us unhitch on the road and wheeled the vans in backwards. This was all done in a very cheerful manner. If you can go without electric hook-up you can pitch right beside the river but we were happy to be beside the play area. This site has real potential, I look forward to going back soon to see what improvements are made. I definitely recommend it, and if your personal space is as large as mine, book for a non-peak time!
