Perthshire Caravans

Perthshire Caravans began in 1936 as a family business founded by Peter and Chris McCormack, and it remains connected to three generations of the family. The dealership is in Errol, in rural Perthshire, beside the A90 route between Perth and Dundee. Its history includes decades of growth, changes to its facilities, and the rebuilding of the main premises after a fire in 2009.

The showroom brings together caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and holiday homes, with both new and pre-owned models. The company says it keeps close to 200 vehicles on its 15-acre site, giving visitors room to compare layouts, capacities, and travel styles in one place. The website organizes inventory by category and brand rather than focusing on a single type of vehicle.

Sales are only part of the business. Perthshire Caravans rents motorhomes and operates a service center for maintenance and repairs, alongside an accessories store for caravans and recreational vehicles. The company also lists vehicle transport, finance options, and meeting-room hire—services that support people who buy, rent, or keep a vehicle for several years.

The family history is marked by specific milestones. The company sold its first caravan in 1937; after World War II interrupted operations, it reopened as a rental business and returned to sales in 1950. The dealership entered the motorhome market in 1977 and has since expanded its selection to campervans and holiday homes.

A fire destroyed the main premises in 2009 and led to a rebuild. Completed in 2010, the new facility covers 4,750 square meters; an additional workshop opened in 2018, doubling service capacity and adding an MOT testing station. In 2020, the company opened South Shore Lodge, a recreation complex at Loch Earn Leisure Park.

The company also operates holiday destinations: Loch Earn Leisure Park in St. Fillans and Red Lion Holiday Park opposite West Sands in Arbroath. They are different from the dealership itself: one sits beside Loch Earn, while the other is near the beach and Arbroath’s coastal attractions. Perthshire Caravans presents both as part of the group’s leisure offering and history.

Its position beside the A90 makes the dealership accessible from Perth and Dundee, while the large site lets visitors see vehicles of different sizes and conditions up close. For people still comparing options, the combination of a showroom, rental, service, and accessories makes it possible to explore the full road-travel cycle and discuss several choices in one place.
