Beecraigs Country Park is a great place for anyone who loves the outdoors. There are miles of trails for walking and hiking, from easy paths around the loch to steeper climbs like Cockleroy Hill with amazing views at the top. If you enjoy biking, there are trails for all levels, including a skills area to practice jumps. Horse riding is also available, and families will love the adventure play area for kids. Orienteering adds a fun challenge, and there’s plenty of space to explore whether you’re on foot, bike, or horseback. It’s a perfect spot for outdoor fun and adventure. The park is also full of wildlife and peaceful spots to relax. You might see red deer or Highland cattle as you walk through the woods or along the water. The nature trails are beautiful and quiet, ideal for spotting animals or enjoying a calm walk. It’s also great for dog walking, with many paths and even a secure dog area. There are picnic tables near the Visitor Centre, and on clear days you can see all the way to Edinburgh and the Forth bridges. Beecraigs is a lovely place to unwind, enjoy nature, and spend a relaxing day outdoors.

I paid £14.85 for one night as a backpacker (no vehicle, one-man tent, no elec). A great location in the forest and the facilities were top notch. Feels petty but I reserve 5/5 for campsites that charge backpackers around £10.

We came to Beecraigs Country Park this morning hoping to see the animal attraction (Highland cows, deer, sheep, etc.), but unfortunately it has been closed down for years which was very disappointing since it’s still mentioned in many places online. There are no animals here anymore. The park itself is nice for walking and nature, but if you’re visiting mainly for the animals, be aware they are no longer part of the attraction

Great views. Country roads to get here. Be careful driving a Motorhome here. Local van drivers may take as much road as they like. The majority of drivers are courteous.

Beautiful park in amazing situation. Visitor centre is high on hill, with brilliant views north, east, and south. Cafe provides good food, and staff are helpful and friendly. Variety of woodland walks for all ages and abilities. Just beautifully kept, with clear signs marking the routes. Al in all ... a great place!!
