Craggan |

It is hoped that, should you choose to camp at Craggan, you will have an enjoyable time, and that the weather will be kind. The following information may be of help -
CRAGGAN is a large, sheltered
campsite located in a remote glen lying between the Braco – Comrie road
(B827) and the Muthill – Crieff road (A822).
(O.S. Sheet 57, Grid Ref 808173) Direction map
attached.
ACCESS As we do not wish the camping areas damaged vehicles
are not allowed past the hard surfaced car park, which is for cars and light
vans only. Sorry, NO large vehicles are permitted inside the gate.(Please
allow for this if bringing heavy equipment)
FACILITIES There are three huts on site: a small storage
hut, a kitchen/storage hut (5m x 3m) containing Calor gas cookers, and a
large hut (10m x 5m) for storage and wet weather shelter. Equipment is available
on site for 4 patrols and their leaders, or for 36 people Group camping. Extra
equipment may be brought if required, as the site is large enough for 50+
campers. No lighting is supplied, so it is essential that torches etc. are
brought. A gas fridge-freezer may be available on request.
WATER There are two water taps on site, and whilst there
are filters in the water supply line to remove solid articles it is recommended
that the water is boiled for drinking. Alternatively bottled water may be
brought for this purpose.
FIREWOOD There is more than adequate dead wood lying around
on the fringes of the site and in the adjoining wood.
LATRINES are chemical toilets. Elsan fluid is provided. There
is a wooden toilet block to house four of these. Toilet tents are also available.
CHARGES The charge for the site is £2.00 per person
per night payable on collection of the keys.
If you bring your own camping equipment the cost is £1.50 per person per
night.
SHOPPING There are some shops for groceries etc. in Muthill,
and larger supermarkets in Crieff. Milk cannot be delivered to the site, but
D&D Dairies, Brioch Road, Crieff (01764 654271) will take orders and
arrange a suitable collection point.
MINIBUS HIRE is available in Muthill.
ACTIVITIES include hill walking (to be pre-arranged with
the Estate); swimming available in Crieff and at Crieff Hydro (by arrangement);
pony trekking at Crieff Hydro; visits to Auchingarroch Wildlife Centre, which
is only a few miles along the road.
