Details checked 6 August 2026 · source: Google Places Tent camping beside the River Garry in Pitlochry, accessible by ford to 4x4s, walkers and cyclists, with firepits and composting facilities in Cairngorms National Park. ## About Dall Cottage Camping Peace in Perthshire, with views of the Cairngorms? Come along to Dall Cottage Camping. This tiny site beside the River Garry is genuinely remote – you'll ford the river to reach it, so only 4x4s, walkers and cyclists can access pitches directly (though the hosts kindly shuttle non-4x4 drivers across). That crossing sets the tone: this is semi-wild camping in a proper wildlife haven, with firepits for atmospheric evenings, a clean composting toilet, hot shower, and a handy bothy with an honesty shop stocking firewood and essentials. The setting on the southern edge of the Cairngorms National Park is spectacular, with three lochs nearby and Tay Forest Park just south. Pitlochry's cafés and shops are 20 minutes' drive, Aberfeldy's Fair Trade boutiques 40, while Blair Castle sits a quarter-hour away. Note there's no drinkable water on site, so come prepared – but for a truly adventurous pitch under big Perthshire skies, Dall Cottage delivers exactly what it promises. ## Photos Photos via Google Campers say this campground offers a beautiful riverside location with clean composting toilets, a bothy, and a convenient honesty shop selling firewood and essentials. They also highlight the friendly and helpful hosts and the adventurous experience of crossing the river to reach the campsites.

One of the best places I've camped. It's 'wild' but does has some luxuries like toilets and a small shop with essentials. Crossing the river is great specially with children. Great location , fire pit set is is amazing. All round great experience and a great night spent. Will 100% be back. Took the drone for a quick video of the river crossing. 3 months ago · via Google Libor Smolík ★★★★★ I managed to cross the river on my motorbike, which I feel quite proud of — definitely added to the adventure! For those who prefer a bit more adventure, there's also an optional 4x4 ferry provided by the friendly and helpful owner. The pitches are well spaced out along the river, offering a good sense of privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. The setting is beautiful and feels like a real escape into nature. I highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience! 12 months ago · via Google paul mcculloch ★★★★★ Absolutely blown away by our stay at Dall Cottage and Camping—this place is nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the hosts don’t just welcome you—they go above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care for every guest made us feel more like family than campers. The setting is stunning: nestled in nature, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. But what truly sets this place apart is the epic journey across the river in a vintage American army truck. It’s not just transport—it’s an adventure in itself! Kids and adults alike were grinning ear to ear, and it added such a unique, memorable twist to the whole experience. The campsite itself is immaculate, with everything you need right at your fingertips. The on-site shop is a gem—stocked with essentials like wood for your fire, fresh water, cans of juice, and crisps to keep everyone happy. It’s clear the owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and fun. I’ve camped in many places over the years, but Dall Cottage and Camping is hands down the best. If you’re looking for a place that combines adventure, relaxation, and outstanding hospitality—this is it. Can’t wait to return! 11 months ago · via Google Justin Carter ★★★★★ This has to be one of my favourite sites and only found it by desperation. Really quite wonderful and a bit different it has a secure place to leave your car and you are collected by a big jeep and taken over the river to your pitch. Great facilities including small shop and shower and tranquil best description I can offer. The owners are friendly and obliging. There is a fire pit and logs if required 10 months ago · via Google [More campsites in Pitlochry](https://staycation.co.uk/pitlochry/camping) ★ 4.9 (89 reviews) From £32 per night [Book on Pitchup](https://www.pitchup.com/campsites/Scotland/Scotland/Perthshire/Pitlochry/dall_cottage_camping/) [Visit website](https://www.pitchup.com/campsites/Scotland/Scotland/Perthshire/Pitlochry/dall_cottage_camping/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=campsite) [07833 052506](tel:07833052506) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Pitlochry **County** Perthshire **Dogs allowed** ✅ Yes **Electric hook-up** ❌ No 🏨 ### Prefer a hotel nearby?
