Loch Tay Highland Lodge Park
Perthshire
Overview of Loch Tay Highland Lodges
Loch Tay Highland Lodges is a large lochside holiday park at Milton Morenish near Killin in Perthshire, set directly on the northern shore of Loch Tay beneath the Ben Lawers mountain range. View our full range of parks for Perthshire caravan and lodge holidays here.
The park combines an exceptionally broad choice of self catering accommodation with one of the strongest outdoor activity programmes of any Scottish lodge park. Guests can stay in cabins, one to four-bedroom lodges, glamping pods, camping pods and domes or larger houses sleeping up to ten.
Private hot tubs are available across selected cabins, lodges, glamping accommodation and larger houses. Pet friendly choices are also available across several accommodation types.
The loch itself is central to the holiday experience. Loch Tay Highland Lodges has its own purpose-built marina where guests can hire boats for cruising or fishing, arrange temporary moorings for their own craft and book watersports through the park's activity provider.
Canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, gorge walking, archery, axe throwing, disc golf and putting are among the activities currently available.
Fishing is another major attraction. Fishing boats can be hired specifically by staying guests, with permits included in current fishing packages. Trout and salmon fishing operate within their respective seasons.
The Boathouse Kitchen & Bar sits beside the marina and serves food and drinks with views across Loch Tay towards the surrounding mountains.
Families also have a children's play area, while walkers can follow a two-mile hill track from the park towards the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve.
Killin is approximately three miles away, with the Falls of Dochart, shops, pubs and restaurants providing the closest village facilities.

Loch Tay has an unusually broad accommodation range covering everything from compact couples cabins to substantial five-bedroom houses.

One-bedroom woodland cabins provide some of the smaller self catering accommodation.
The cabins generally sleep up to four using a double bedroom or sleeping area alongside additional sofa-bed accommodation.
Open plan living space includes a fitted kitchen with a cooker, microwave, fridge and everyday kitchen equipment.
Many cabins also include a wood burner.

Selected three-bedroom accommodation welcomes dogs.

These larger properties can use two-storey layouts with additional bathrooms, balconies and substantial living spaces.
They work particularly well for larger families and groups who want to stay together while retaining proper bedrooms and private facilities.
Pet friendly options are available.
Large Holiday Houses
The largest accommodation provides some of the park's most luxurious stays.
Four and five-bedroom houses sleep eight or ten guests and combine extensive living space with several bathrooms, substantial kitchens and outdoor areas.
Private hot tubs feature with current large houses, while selected properties also have open fires or stoves.
These work particularly well for extended families, celebrations and groups travelling together.

Current accommodation includes heating and a log burner alongside a fire pit and outdoor space.
Selected domes have private wood-fired hot tubs and selected accommodation welcomes dogs.
Hot Tub Accommodation
Hot tubs are available across several accommodation categories, including:

Park Facilities at Loch Tay Highland Lodges
Loch Tay Highland Lodges has one of the strongest outdoor facility ranges among Scottish lodge parks.
The marina and activity centre make the loch genuinely accessible rather than simply providing scenery.
Loch Tay Marina
The purpose-built marina sits directly on Loch Tay.
Guests can hire boats, book fishing trips and arrange temporary moorings for their own craft.
The marina also acts as the base for many of the park's watersports.
Own-boat moorings need to be reserved in advance and jet skis are not permitted.
Fishing on Loch Tay
Fishing is a genuine on-site activity rather than simply something available somewhere nearby.
Dedicated fishing boats are available exclusively to guests staying at Loch Tay Highland Lodges.
Current hire includes:
Up to three rods can currently be used from each fishing boat.
Trout fishing operates from approximately mid-March to early October, while salmon fishing follows its own seasonal dates.
Visitors should always check current seasons and rules before fishing.
Self-Drive Boat Hire
Guests who want to explore rather than fish can hire self-drive boats.
Smaller boats carry up to four people and are suited to gentle cruising.
Larger cruiser-style boats carry up to six and provide a steering console and more power for exploring further along the loch.
Life jackets and fuel are included.
Canoeing and Kayaking
Canoes and sit-on-top kayaks can be hired directly from the activity centre.
Visitors can either join organised activities or hire suitable equipment to explore independently when weather and staffing allow.
Stand-Up Paddleboarding
Stand-up paddleboard hire is available seasonally.
The activity office operates from the loch shore close to The Boathouse and marina.
Availability is weather dependent and guests should book or enquire early during busy periods.
Katakanu
The six-person Katakanu combines the stability of a raft with canoe-style paddling.
It is particularly useful for families and groups who want to experience Loch Tay together rather than using separate kayaks or paddleboards.
Gorge Walking
Guided gorge walking provides one of the park's more adventurous organised activities.
Participants negotiate water, rock and natural obstacles under the supervision of experienced instructors.
Booking in advance is strongly recommended.
Archery and Axe Throwing
Land-based activities include archery and axe throwing.
These provide useful alternatives for visitors who want organised activities without going onto the water.
Disc Golf
The park has an 18-hole disc golf course.
The route runs around the upper part of the park and combines the activity with mountain and countryside views.
Discs can be hired from reception.
Putting Green
An 18-hole putting green operates seasonally behind the central restaurant area.
Putters and balls can be hired from reception.
Children's Play Area
The outdoor children's play area sits opposite reception and is intended for children up to 12.
Adult supervision is required.
Hill Walking
A two-mile hill track starts directly opposite the main park entrance.
The route climbs through the surrounding landscape and also provides access towards the National Trust for Scotland's Ben Lawers area.
This gives walkers a genuine route from the park rather than requiring a drive before starting every walk.
The Boathouse Kitchen & Bar
The Boathouse sits immediately beside the marina with views across Loch Tay.
It provides meals, drinks and takeaway options, with indoor and waterside seating.
The venue is dog friendly for well-behaved dogs kept on leads.
Opening days and food-service times vary through the year.
Campers Kitchen and Amenities
Glamping and camping-style guests have access to dedicated practical facilities including an amenities lodge and campers kitchen and lounge.
These are particularly useful for guests choosing pods and domes with fewer private facilities.
Fire Pit and BBQ Area
A covered communal fire pit and barbecue area can be hired for groups and gatherings.
Its covered design makes it more practical in changing Highland weather than an entirely open picnic area.
