  • Scenery ... History ... Mystery
    ... Scenery ... History ... Mystery www.witchescraig.co.uk Witches Craig The AA Campsite of the Year 2015 Winner for Scotland is situated at the foot of the Ochil Hills under the watchful gaze of the nearby National Wallace Monument. Visit Scotland have graded Witches Craig “an exceptional 5 star” touring park. Our park has won many other awards in recent years, including “Loo of the Year” and a David Bellamy “Gold” Conservation award. More pleasing than any award is the huge number of repeat customers and great reviews we receive in person and on review websites. We are particularly proud of the many hand drawn pictures of witches and toy witches that line the walls of our reception, gifted by families to mark a great stay. For almost forty years our family run, family friendly site has been a gateway to the Highlands and a base for exploring historic Stirling. Nearby you’ll also discover the scenic Trossachs, the rolling hills of Perthshire, the tranquil beaches of the Kingdom of Fife and much more. More than that, Witches Craig is in itself a destination – a peaceful, relaxing part of Central Scotland where every pitch has stunning views of the Ochil Hills and across to the historic city of Stirling. If you’re feeling active, you can access the Ochil Hills direct from the park, wander along an ancient roadway to the village of Blairlogie, or walk in the footsteps of William Wallace to the nearby Abbey Craig. For a more relaxing stroll you can see lots of wildlife around the Stirling University campus loch.
