Maragowan CMC Site, Killin, Perthshire. FK21 8TN, Tel 01567820245
To Find Site:- From A85 turn right onto A827 towards Killin. At the
Falls of Dochart on the entrance to the village there is a long narrow
bridge which is one way at a time. Proceed through the village. The site
is about a hundred metres of the right past the 40 miles per hour speed
limit sign.
The Maragowan site is on the banks of the River Lochay and is just on
the edge of the village of Killin. There are just under a 100 pitches on
this site, all but two of them on hardstandings. The only two grass
pitches seem to be next to the late arrivals area. Electric points are
convenient to all pitches, they are rated at 16 amps and use CEE17 blue
sockets, some of which have a twist lock on them. Some of the bollards
are raised higher off the ground because of possible flooding. Pitches
at the far end of the site, where TV reception is poor, have access to a
TV booster system. On other parts of the site TV reception is fine.
There is one central toilet block, which whilst kept perfectly clean and
serviceable is of the older variety. It contains an enclosed washing up
area and a laundry. Service points are dotted at convenient places
around the site and the motorhome service point has an open grate waste
water point. There is site wide WiFi, it did work for me but it would
drop the connection from time to time. The 4G signal was quite good and
provides a good data alternative to the site WiFi. For
children there is a small playground.
Reception sells a few essentials
and next door there is an information room.
The village of Killin is a short walk from the site with several places
to eat either meals or tea/coffee. For food shopping there is a handy
Co-Operative food store. At the far end of the Village are the Falls of
Dochart which are a popular tourist attraction. After the Falls the
rivers Dochart and Lochay join forces before they
enter Loch Tay. There are many opportunities for excursions from
the site. Unfortunately there is only a limited bus service from Killen
to Callander.
