The scent of pine and breakfast woodsmoke drifts across the glens here, where the southern edge of the Highlands begins to rear up beyond Callander's rooftops.

This is a pod-and-chalet setup for those who want a proper roof and a bit of comfort after days on the hills — couples unwinding after the Trossachs trails, small families who prefer beds to sleeping mats, maybe a pair of Munro-baggers treating themselves between peaks. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one. The location puts you right on the doorstep of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, with Ben Ledi looming close enough to climb before lunch.

You've got wifi onsite, which helps for route planning or keeping the kids entertained on wet evenings. Campfires are possible but check the rules when you arrive — it varies. The vibe is quiet and low-key, more about the landscape than the social scene, ideal if you're here to walk, breathe deep, and sleep well.

Coilhallan wood

Explores mixed woodland trails with gentle inclines and a few short, steeper sections through Coilhallan Wood near Callander. Generally suitable for older children who are confident walkers, though uneven tree roots and narrow paths make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome and will love the scents and shade. A peaceful escape offering classic Scottish woodland scenery with birdsong, mature trees, and potential wildlife spotting—ideal for a short nature break.

The Meadows

Meanders through flat, grassy meadowland with minimal incline—ideal for families with toddlers and buggies. Dogs welcome to roam off-lead in designated areas. Perfect for a gentle leg-stretch after setting up camp, offering open views across the meadows and a chance to spot grazing livestock. Short enough for little legs but peaceful enough to unwind at your own pace.

Walking route
1.87 km from campsite

Upper Crags

Ascends through mixed woodland to dramatic rocky outcrops with sweeping views across Loch Lomond and the surrounding Highlands. Steep in sections with uneven, rocky terrain underfoot – sturdy boots essential. Not suitable for buggies or very young children due to challenging gradient and scrambles near the summit. Dogs welcome but keep under close control on narrow cliff-edge paths. The rewarding panoramic vistas and sense of wilderness make this a classic short Scottish hill walk for moderately
