Camping in Stirling

Stirling's campsites and glamping sites follow the region's lochs and hills, with a good cluster around Callander and Killin for anyone basing themselves near the Trossachs and Loch Lubnaig. Crianlarich sits further north on the West Highland Way, useful for walkers wanting a stopover before pressing on towards Glencoe, while Drymen and Strathblane suit those keeping closer to Glasgow and the southern edge of Loch Lomond.

The mix runs from simple touring pitches to timber pods and lodges, so it's worth deciding what kind of trip you want before booking. Witches Craig Caravan and Camping Park and Keltie Bridge Caravan Park cater well for tourers and tents near Stirling and Callander, whereas places like Craigmaddie Glamping, Here and Now Pods and Poachers Hut offer a softer, more sheltered stay for those less keen on canvas. Balquhidder Braes Holiday Park and Portnellan Lodges give access to quieter loch-side settings further from the main roads.

Dunblane makes a handy base with easy rail links if you want countryside without losing touch with the city, while farm stays such as Duncan Family Farms and Craighead Howfs bring a slower, rural pace to the choice.
