What customers say
This is a well-maintained and clean site, praised for its excellent facilities, including modern shower blocks and a popular on-site cafe. Guests highlight the convenient location for exploring the Kintyre peninsula and ferry access. Pitches are well-spaced and level, with serviced options available. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention ongoing construction work detracting from the atmosphere and occasional issues with shower areas or WiFi. Overall, it's highly recommended for both short stays and longer explorations.

Good stop off point with good facilities, not somewhere to chill.
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Good location for touring the Kintyre peninsula. Great on site cafe serving food all day. Well equipped and clean communal areas. Well spaced out, serviced hard standing pitches.
Disliked Ongoing ground works involving HGVs trundling aggregate for the site expansion to install luxury cabins which appear to be mainly occupied by workers, who head out around 6.30am, to the new substation development detracting from the holiday/leisure vibe.
