When you stay with Highland Holidays, you’re never far from the action. Our Tyndrum Holiday Park is nestled within stunning Scottish scenery – in an area famous for its ancient mountains, vast lochs, whisky, and wildlife! With part of our local area being developed into Scotland’s only gold mine, experts suggest that there may be more untapped reserves of gold waiting to be discovered. Visitors have the chance to try their luck panning for gold in the river running through our park, and from the nearby mountains. Keep the family entertained without having to stray far from the comfort of your caravan – enjoy going gold-prospecting from the river just a few steps away from your caravan or pod doorstep!

Step by step guide:

Why not pop into our onsite shop and get yourself kitted out with all the necessary tools for your gold-prospecting? With the Cononish gold and silver mine nestled in the hills behind Tyndrum – you never know what you might find!
