The rustle of Scots pine mingles with the gentle lap of water against the shore as dawn light filters through the Perthshire forest canopy. Glengoulandie Country Park occupies a spectacular setting in the heart of Highland Perthshire, where ancient woodland meets the tranquil waters of a natural loch.
This year-round site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans, making it an excellent base for families and couples seeking the quieter side of Scotland's dramatic landscape. You're ideally positioned for exploring the Tay Forest Park and the charming villages that dot this less-trodden corner of Perthshire, where mountain scenery rivals the more famous routes further north without the crowds.
Facilities include toilets and showers to keep things comfortable during your stay. Campfires may be permitted, so check the current policy when you arrive. The atmosphere here is peacefully remote yet accessible, with the surrounding country park offering waterside walks and woodland trails right from your pitch. It's a place where you can truly disconnect beneath the stars, with only the occasional call of a red deer breaking the Highland silence.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.
