Information for Gypsies / Travelling People

Dundee City Council provides a purpose built caravan park for use by gypsies/travelling people. It is located in a rural setting at Balmuir Wood, Tealing about 6 miles from Dundee just off the A90, towards Forfar.

We have 14 pitches of which there are 6 doubles for larger families who require two caravans per pitch and 8 single pitches that allow for 1 caravan per pitch. There is also a safe children's play area.

Each utility unit has been refurbished with a new kitchen and bathroom with shower. There is also room for storage.
