At the foot of the site they offer both canoeing and kayaking, boat hire, fishing and thrilling RIB rides from their own Loch Tay marina, while they also rent out mountain bikes. Then there is the new hiking path that links up with the epic trail up Ben Lawers, which at 1,214m, is Perthshire’s highest mountain and higher than any mountain in England and Wales. Just a scenic drive or cycle along the banks of Loch Tay and the River Tay’s whitewater charms await.

Loch Tay no longer takes tents, but there are plenty of alternative accommodation offerings from cosy, heated glamping pods to glamping domes and woodland cabins. All have access to a stirling wash facilites, common room and the fully-equipped camper's kitchen (the premium glamping pods boast their own cooking facilities). The domes sit in the old camping field, enjoying views over Loch Tay and back towards the mountains. A childrens’ playground, putting green, communal campers room with large flat screen TV and leather sofas and the waterfront Boathouse Restaurant complete the resort-style experience on this 140 acre seriously adventurous estate.
