Witches Craig Caravan & Camping Park

This is a very nice park. the shower block is very nice the only thing is you have to pay for a shower but i did get plenty of time to enjoy my morning shower. lots of recyling bins as well. Not within walking distance of a pub if you feel like a wee dram or pub meal ( you can drive to a nice pub and the meals were good) without driving. But this is a perfect place to get away from it all

The rugged hills that rise up around Witches Craig are
a clue that you are pitched in the middle of Braveheart country. The setting is majestic and spectacular – witness the nearby Wallace Monument lit up at night, looming above the dense woodland trees.
While the location feels wild and remote, the site itself is very comfortable, and the family that owns and runs it is friendly and welcoming. Although the owners keep a close eye on the site, there are few security measures here, so access to the washrooms – where there’s good provision for the disabled – is by key. Most of the pitches are on grass, and there’s no real need for levelling blocks. Only basics such as bread and milk are sold at the site shop, but a farm shop is open during the day, just half a mile away.
It is the rugged remoteness of this site’s location that creates much of its allure, yet it’s well placed for many top attractions, including Old Stirling Bridge, Castle Campbell, Blair Drummond Safari Park and the Falkirk Wheel.

The rugged hills that rise up around Witches Craig mean there is no doubt that you are pitched in the middle of 'Braveheart' country. The setting is majestic and spectacular – witness the nearby Wallace Monument lit up at night, looming above the dense woodland trees.
Even though the location feels wild and remote, this is a very comfortable site and the family who own and run it are friendly and welcoming. They pay much attention to detail when it comes to maintaining the high standards of the site’s facilities, and even though the wash block is fairly old, it is well maintained and includes good provision for the disabled. The owners keep
a close eye on the site but there are few security measures here, so access to the toilet facilities is by way of a key.
Most pitches are on grass.
A few of them are not perfectly flat but there’s no real need for levelling blocks. No pitches here are smaller than 10 x 10m, and because they aren't marked, there's even more space per 'van when there are fewer visitors.
If you’re arriving late on the site, without provisions, bear in mind that only bread and milk are sold at the site shop. But there is a farm shop (half a mile away), open during the day.
It is the rugged remoteness of this site’s location that creates much of its allure but it’s worth knowing that it is well placed for many top attractions, including Old Stirling Bridge, Castle Campbell, Blairdrummond Safari Park and the Falkirk Wheel.

Practical Motorhome Independent Site Reviews.

This is very pleasant site set in a beautiful part of the country. Pitches are mainly grass and slightly undulating, although there is no great need for levelling blocks. they are arranged over two large grassy areas, which are well served with mains hook-up points but none are marked or numbered. As a result, the amount of space between units can vary greatly depending on how busy the site is. Even so, most pitches are still quite roomy and smaller pitches never measure less than 100sq m.
Although the toilet block is 12-years-old, it is very well maintained and cheerily decorated, with excellent disabled facilities. It has even won several ‘Loo of the year’ awards. The showers are coin-operated, and 20p will give you eight minutes of hot water. Access to the washing facilities is by key – one of few security measures in place, although the owners keep a close eye on all comings and goings.
There is just one chemical disposal point. It is located near the entrance, which means some guests will have a walk of some 200-300m to empty their grey water.
The children’s play area is fenced-in, has well-maintained equipment, and sits on bark chippings to cushion any falls. Owners and dogs can stretch their legs in the ‘dog wood’, although dogs must be kept on a lead. There is no shop on site, but bread and milk can be bought from reception, and there is a farm shop half-a-mile away.
Nestling at the foot of the Ochil Hills, yet just three miles from Stirling itself, this site offers the best of both town and country. It is probably best suited to active couples or families. There is some fine Scottish scenery to be enjoyed on foot, by bike or even on horse. Nearby Stirling University boasts an art centre that shows plays, films and exhibitions.

This very pleasant, owner-managed site is set in the middle of Braveheart country. Pitches are mainly grass and slightly undulating, but there is no need for levelling blocks. They’re served with mains hook-up but none are marked or numbered. As a result, space between units depends on numbers on site. However, the smaller pitches never measure less than 100sqm.

The solitary chemical disposal point is located near the entrance driveway – a few guests may therefore face a walk of some 300m to empty their grey water.

Despite the toilet block being 12 years old, it is well maintained and cheerily decorated, with excellent separate disabled facilities. There is no additional charge for showers. Access to the site’s washing facilities is by key as there are few other security measures on site, although the owners keep a good eye on all movements.

The children’s play area is fenced off. All its equipment is in good condition and bark chippings will cushion any falls. Dogs and their owners can stretch their legs in the ‘dog wood’, though dogs must be kept on a lead. There is no shop, although bread and milk are supplied at reception and there is a farm shop half-a-mile away.

The area is surrounded by the attractive seven chalets that are permanent retirement homes. The roadways around the site are mature but well-maintained.
