The first light through the pines catches the loch below, and the silence up here feels proper Highland — even the birdsong carries further in the stillness.

This is one for walkers and cyclists who want a roof after a big day on the hills, with both hostel beds and camping pods tucked into the woods above Callander. The Trossachs pull in scramblers heading for Ben A'an, long-distance cyclists on the National Cycle Route, and anyone chasing that Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park fix without the full wild-camp commitment. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one.

It's simple and year-round, which counts for a lot when October turns wet or you fancy an early spring escape. Campfires need checking on arrival — they're not a given, but sometimes possible depending on conditions. The vibe's more mountain bothy than resort: functional, friendly, and properly surrounded by forest and fell.

Coilhallan wood

Winds through mixed woodland with gentle to moderate inclines, offering peaceful forest trails and glimpses of the surrounding Stirlingshire countryside. Suitable for families with older children who can manage uneven woodland paths and tree roots, though not ideal for buggies. Dogs welcome and will love the natural terrain. A lovely escape for spotting wildlife, enjoying dappled shade, and breathing in that earthy woodland air—perfect for a leg-stretch between campsites.

Walking route
1 km from campsite

The Meadows

Meanders through flat parkland and riverside paths ideal for buggies, toddlers and dogs. Gentle terrain with no steep sections makes this perfect for a relaxed family stroll. Lovely for spotting ducks along the water and letting kids run freely on open grass. A simple, accessible route that gives everyone a proper leg-stretch without the challenge.

Walking route
1.83 km from campsite

Lower Crags

Climbs steadily through mixed woodland to dramatic volcanic crags with panoramic views across the Campsie Fells and Stirling plain. The ascent is moderately steep with uneven, rocky sections near the summit, making it unsuitable for buggies and challenging for very young children. Dogs welcome but keep close on narrow cliff-edge paths. Worth it for the stunning geology and far-reaching vistas that reward the effort—a classic Scottish hillside scramble.
