Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Great park toilets are kept clean with someone there to clean them each morning, we didn’t even need to leave the site as there is plenty to do there from activity’s for the kids to swimming and play parks around the park. There is a cool beach that’s just made up of shells to. A football cage as well so lots to do to keep them entertained and night time entertainment to.
Disliked: Nothing

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked: I booked this campsite as it was my first time camping myself with my two children and I wanted somewhere with a pool and other activities available. The boys loved the pool, the arcade and the play park. The toilets/shower block were very clean and there was a water tap at each pitch which was very handy. Check in/check out was very easy and didn’t require any direct contact. Also liked that the car could be parked right to the pitch.
Disliked: I don’t normally visit sites which are quite as busy, I actually didn’t realise how big the site was when I booked. Totally down to each persons preference but I do prefer a quieter site with nicer views from the tent. The site was quite noisy late into the evening with people heading home from the bar. My pitch was also very hard and more like hard dirt than grass. It was also a shame that you weren’t allowed a campfire and had to pay for WiFi.

Gold 3 bedroom static caravan (no pets)
Liked: Fantastic weeks stay at Auchenlarie, have stayed before and will be back again. Great location for surrounding area with fantastic walking and fishing locations nearby. Many places of interest only a short drive from location.
Accommodation was excellent, very clean and more than adequate for a relaxed break.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Well staffed site. Washing and toilet facilities were very good and cleaned regularly.
Fantastic views from the pitch we were on.
We visited out of school holidays so the site was pleasant and not too busy.
A real bonus that they do not charge extra for using an awning. Unlike most other greedy sites.

A good choice for a break away with things to do and lovely scenery

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Lovely clean site.
Stayed in our small motorhome, hardstanding, had water, electric hook up and tv at our pitch as was at all pitches. Little stream at back of pitches so had nice evening water noise during stay.
Toilet block is very clean, showers good and hot with good pressure.
Area for washing dishes, grey waste, toilet etc
Good little shop as you come into the site.
Lively little cove with shell beach, just watch the walk going down to it, steep.
Site amenities were good when stayed beginning of Sept. Plenty of things still on for kids. Evening entertainment programmes.
Found the restaurant was well priced and the food was plentiful and tasty. You order at the bar on screens and they bring it to your numbered table. Was nice to sit outside on the balcony and look out to the sea with a wee cocktail.
Staff we found were all polite and helpful so big plus on that.
WiFi is available at the pitches but didn't use it as our phones had loads of data. It's a cost to use but easy to set up.
Crows are nesting in the trees at the pitches, you will hear them first thing in the morning and I'm sure there are hundreds of them lol
Stayed 2 nights and will come again.
Disliked: To be honest we didn't find anything to complain about apart from the walk up the hill to the shop, our legs felt it lol
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments on your recent stay at the park glad to here you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to see you again, and yes that walk to the shop is a good for the legs.
