This week, Stephanie Wilkie and her dog Storm have been camping in Scotland at GG & Belles campsite in Blairgowrie. Over to Steph for more details;
I took Storm Camping to GG & Belles, a dog orientated campsite. It’s fairly new and it was a great experience. The campsite is in a stunning and quiet location. There are two sites that are privately fenced or you can purchase a grassed pitch. We opted for the grass pitch and hired a fire pit for the night. The toilets and wash facilities were immaculate. There is no shop on site but coming soon there will be the following activities to participate with your pooch.
- Canicross
- Hoopers
- Agility
- Art with your dog
- Obedience
- Scent work
There is a one mile loop around the campsite which is gorgeous but dogs must be kept on leads at all time. There is also a dog park which can be hired out. We hired it the night we were there. None of Storm’s friends could make it but she had a fab time just playing about. There is a sand pit, tyre to jump over or jump onto and a tunnel. Storm was not a fan of the tunnel and refused to go through it. The dog park is £10 to hire for an hour and well worth it for the dogs to run off steam.
Local Walks
There are also the following walks within close distance to the campsite.
- The riverside walk Blairgowrie
- Alyth Den
- Stormont Loch
There are also plenty more gorgeous walks nearby if you don’t mind travelling a bit further afield.
- The hermitage Dunkeld
