Blair Castle Caravan Park is a nine-acre overnight site in the grounds of Blair Castle, with grass and hard-standing pitches, tent camping, caravan holiday homes, pods and woodland lodges. It works best as a Highland Perthshire base: registered guests get free access to the estate’s gardens and grounds, with discounted admission to the castle itself. Advance booking is strongly advised. The site operates seasonally, with different calendars for touring and other accommodation. Reception parking is limited; if you arrive early, use one of two public car parks opposite on the main road.

Touring options include electric pitches and fully serviced pitches with water, power and grey-water drainage; there are also chemical and motorhome waste-disposal points. Five heated toilet-and-shower blocks have individual cubicles, baby-changing facilities and dishwashing areas, and a laundrette is on site. There are two adventure playgrounds and a games room. Dogs are welcome on pitches, up to two per pitch, supervised on short leads. Open fires and tent stoves are not allowed; raised charcoal barbecues are permitted, but not wood fires.
