What customers say
This campsite offers a peaceful and clean environment with a fantastic location, just a stone's throw from the beach. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, with many highlighting specific individuals. Pitches are generally spacious and well-maintained. While the toilet and shower facilities are frequently described as dated, they are consistently reported as spotlessly clean and functional, with ample hot water. Some guests found the site to be excellent value, though the extra charge for dogs was noted as high by a few. Overall, it's a highly recommended, quiet retreat ideal for beach lovers.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Friendly welcome and given all the info we needed. Great pitch size with easy access to water.
Good location for beach and on cycle routes.
Disliked As others have stated, shower block could do with modernisation or at least the removal of spiders and webs etc before it has to be used by campers.

Avoid unless you have your own car.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very green grass.
Disliked For £20 a person to camp this was very very pooe value. Totally unsuitable unless you have your own vehicle. Its a long walk to Siloth for food.
The tap worked.
The cows were interesting.
That sums up the facilities, and as I say for £20 it's nor good enough.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked The friendly welcome and best wishes for our onward journey were the best parts of the whole stay - Rowanbank is very lucky to have such a great man.
Payment was straight forward. The EHU was straightforward annd drinking water was close by. Clear instructions on how to use the barrier and choice of level well spaced out pitches was given.
Disliked The whole site is in a real desperate need of a major update. Looks and feels like the 1970’s. Comes across as a family cash cow with no investment being made to provide facilities worthy for 2025. The dilapidated showers were so very bad I couldn’t face having one and the toilet and dish washing sinks’ water wasn’t particularly hot. The concept of recycling has not reached Rowanbank as yet either.
