#4 power optional concrete slab campervan site (small)

Liked: Welcomed on arrival and given all the information for site and places to see nearby. The site is very well maintained and just the right size for a peaceful break. Facilities are basic but clean and there to use without any additional hassle or costs. I had my puppy with me and was able to walk around the site. The site is on a road with no footway so this was a bonus.

Disliked: You need to drive to go anywhere. It’s not one for walking to the local. To be honest, not even sure there was a local within driving distance. The west coast of Scotland is like going back in time. Don’t expect pretty seaside towns with good coffee and artisan bread. Everywhere is bacon rolls and burger and chips from a greasy cafe.

Liked: Facilities were good and they even had a fridge for campers. Pretty camping spots without car access.

Disliked: If you are going to arrive later than you thought please phone Victor as he really does get upset, not concerned, upset.

#1 power optional grass tent site (large)

Liked: Friendly helpful owners and lovely spacious pitch with lots of privacy. Lots of extras you don't get anywhere else, like a pizza oven you can borrow and my pitch had a gazebo bigger than my tent you could use for socialising if you've got friends on the trip or family. There's even a kettle and a fridge freezer for campers to use.

Disliked: Nothing really - no wifi yet but O2 has a great signal

Local attractions

This is wildlife watching land: as well as the birds and animals directly around North Rhinns Camping, the Rhins of Stranraer can have nature watchers spotting seals, spying birds of prey like peregrine falcons, and training binoculars on the steep sheer cliffs to see the likes of guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, gulls, cormorants and shags. Many walks and bike rides are also around the area, both on the waymarked trails of the Rhins and on the quiet roads all around. Several fishing lochs are about too: try Soulseat Loch and Knockquassen Reservoir, sea fishing from the coast, or the River Cree just outside the Rhins. Guests could also visit the Gardens of Galloway, trek around the area's ruined castles and amble around the local harbour villages like Luce Bay, Portpatrick and Sandhead. Stranraer six miles away is home of Stranraer Museum, the medieval townhouse Castle of St. John and North West Castle, the first hotel in the world with a curling ice rink (we hear the Scots are pretty cool at curling). If you're making the day return trip from Cairnryan to Belfast, take the 96 Metro bus or a ten-minute taxi journey to Belfast city centre from the ferry port for a tour of the City Hall, lunch in one of the old city pubs (try White's Tavern or the Mourne Seafood Bar) and an open bus tour of Belfast's historical sites in the afternoon.
