What customers say
This family-run farm campsite offers a peaceful rural escape with stunning views, just a short drive from Largs. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful owners, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the unique experience of farm animals roaming freely. The on-site food van is a popular addition. While some found pitches compact and experienced occasional noise, most highlighted the relaxed atmosphere and excellent value. Ideal for families and those seeking a tranquil break.

Brilliant site, al it of thought gone into the experience of campers.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked This is our 2nd visit and the main like is that our dog can be off lead. She is a rescue Labrador, getting on in age and used to being off lead. All the kids love to pat her and she loves the attention just as much. The location for us is perfect, 30 mins from home but feels like we could be anywhere in the world. The relaxed atmosphere, the farm animals that visit us (special mention to the resident spaniel who is such a sook lol), the amenities are spot on, you can have a barbecue, a fire pit and there’s a burger van if you’d rather have the whole holiday experience of not cooking (cash only). I would say this will become a regular for us.

Beautiful spot, friendly and lots of animals to fuss over.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked What a find, it was the roaming goats and donkeys that sold it on the site booking. Lovely farm, plenty of room between pitches, lots of animals to fuss and we loved watching a silver stallion galloping across the field and calling to the other horses. Katy the owner is welcoming and really accommodating, nothing seems to phase her. The food van was a bonus, bacon butties in the morning and pulled pork tacos for tea. A really lovely stay, only two nights but I would happily stay a week.

Simple, relaxed campsite.
Electric grass tent pitch (small)
Liked Simple, relaxed campsite. Plenty of space and options for where to pitch. Plenty of clean facilities for washing, showering, toilet. Donkeys, chickens and goats wandering among the tents might have bothered some people, I guess, but I didn't mind it.
Disliked The only thing I didn't like were the bright lights in the toilet during the night: when it's dark I like it to be dark! But that's just me, I guess :)

Beautiful views, great location for visiting Largs.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The views were lovely and the facilities were very clean! Katie was really welcoming when we arrived too. The site is 5 minutes’ drive to Largs which is a beautiful little town to visit!
Disliked There’s a 60mph road separating the hardstanding pitches and the rest of the site, with no gates or barriers - absolute no-go for us with little ones in tow. There was lots of dog poo along the walkers’ path which we suspected may have been from the site owners’ dogs as we saw someone ride off on a farm quad with 4 dogs following behind (no leads) right down the path and then return 5 minutes later with no poo bags! Possible coincidence, but nevertheless, watch your step if you’re off on a walk!
Also, we knocked at reception 3 times (to ask if the children could collect eggs) and nobody answered. When we found a member of staff later on, she said the hens hadn’t been laying for months, so maybe an update on pitchup needed.
