Campervans are welcome to stay overnight in Highland Games field on the Friday and Saturday nights of the games. The cost for overnight parking is £22 per night, and spaces do need to be booked in advance so that we know to expect you. Please email secretary@blackfordhighlandgames.co.uk with your contact details and vehicle information using the camp application form. Please note that there are no facilities available so we can only accommodate self-contained campervans,  and parking is on the back of the games field. If the weather is poor and the ground becomes very wet, it will not be possible to accommodate vehicles as they may get stuckAll vehicles must have left the park by midday on the Sunday, as the gates will be locked.

Visit Tullibardine Distillery

Visitors to the Blackford Highland Games are warmly encouraged to visit Tullibardine Distillery, one of our valued sponsors, located right in the village. The distillery offers fascinating tours and tastings, giving you the chance to experience their award-winning Scotch whisky and learn about traditional whisky making. Booking in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment, especially on busy days such as the Highland Games.

Places to stay

There is limited bed and breakfast accommodation in Blackford itself, including Middleton House B&B, but a wider range of options is readily available in the nearby town of Auchterarder, including The Forge B&B, one of our valued sponsors. Duchally Country Estate is also just a short drive from Blackford, offering comfortable hotel accommodation in a scenic setting.
