What It Is

Five Roads Caravan Park is a small caravan and camping site just outside Alyth in Perthshire, Scotland. It focuses on a quiet, adults-oriented experience and is open year-round. It caters to touring caravans, motorhomes, RVs, and tent campers, and also offers one glamping pod and a three-bedroom self-catering static holiday caravan. Its location works well for road trips linking Dundee, Perth, Aberdeen, Glenshee, Cairngorm, or Scotland’s east coast.

Key Features

The site offers hardstanding pitches, grass pitches, serviced pitches with water, electricity and drainage, 10A electric hook-ups, a motorhome disposal point, heated toilets, hot showers, laundry facilities, dishwashing facilities, accessible toilets, and free WiFi across the park. The glamping pod includes a fridge, kettle, toaster, two-ring electric hob, microwave, TV, and heater, and sleeps up to 4 people. The site also sells Calor Gas, which is useful for motorhome travelers needing supplies.

Pricing

Pricing is transparent: a hardstanding serviced pitch for two people costs £32 per night; a hardstanding or grass pitch with electricity for two people costs £30 per night; extra adults are £4 per night; and there is a £4 discount for solo occupancy or pitches without electricity. The pod is £50 per night for up to 4 people, and pets are allowed. The three-bedroom static holiday caravan is listed at around £560 per week, with a minimum stay of 3 nights. The site notes that card payments are accepted.

Pros and Cons

Pros include a convenient location, quiet setting, year-round opening, pet-friendly policy, no extra charge for awnings or pets, and practical facilities for campers. The nearby Blackbird Inn also makes food and supplies more convenient. Downsides include its adults-oriented positioning, which limits suitability for families with children; the website feels more like an information page, with unclear real-time availability and automated booking capability; larger RVs should confirm suitability in advance; and the latest arrival time is fixed at 8:00 pm.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for road trips in Scotland, motorhome travel, walking and cycling breaks, golf holidays, and stopovers en route to the Highlands or the east coast. If you want a large holiday resort with entertainment, children’s activities, or hotel-style service, this is probably not the best fit.

Access from China

This is a local UK campsite website and should generally be directly accessible. Users in China should confirm availability, pet rules, arrival time, and payment methods by phone or email before booking, and should factor in rural driving distances in the UK and the campsite’s latest check-in time.
