The Drum Grass Tent Pitch (46 at Comrie Croft)
UK Scotland Central Scotland Perthshire Perth Comrie Croft
The Owner Says
The Drum (old Scots for a rise on a hill) is slightly higher up than the High Meadow.
We keep the Drum a car free environment, though you’re welcome to drive up to the drop off zone near the edge of the High Meadow. Wheelbarrows available to help move your kit the extra 5 minutes walk. Car’s must go back to the car park immediately to allow everyone fair access.
Your extra walk is rewarded with some amazing views of the Strathearn Valley below. You share the eco toilets (they do flush!) and wash up area (cold hill water - don’t drink it) with the High Meadow and is around a 10 minute walk back to the main facilities & drinking water at the back of reception.

Food & Drink
Apart from our lovely Tea Garden Cafe (open seasonally) and Farm Shop, Comrie and Crieff have a nice selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants.
The Steading in Crieff is a Crofter favourite for lazy breakfasts and lunches. As is Cafe Rhubarb and the Glass Onion.
For chilled family dinners The Towers or The Meadows are great. The Towers even has a kids playground & sitooterie.
The Royal Hotel in Comrie (named after a visit from Queen Victoria in 1842) has their Melville bistro/bar - good for all times of the day.
If you fancy buying local produce, The Crieff Food Company and Hansen’s Kitchen have great selections. You can pick up some takeaways too.
Family Friendly
Adventure-loving families scramble, run and jump this way... Comrie Croft has forest to roam around, mountain bike trails to race along and a small loch. An opportunity to truly embrace the great outdoors from the moment you pitch your tent.
