Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very lucky with weather, grounds nice, nice separate toilet with shower and sink

Disliked: We were not told that swimming pool, restaurant, entertainment, bar and lounge ie: leisure centre would be closed during our 2 night stay for tent camping as described on website, therefore would not book September again

Recommend to friends Visit again

A good site for an out of season break but many facilities closed.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Friendly staff, well kept site senory lovely, toilet/shower all in one plenty room very clean. Nice area at the clubhouse to sit outside, prices not bad.

Disliked: Only small dislike or would like to have seen is at shop/reception area there was no fresh produce unable to buy anything for breakfast Site could do with more signage for directions how to get to club house ect. Also once at clubhouse it was a bit unclear how to order food. Had to go to bar and that was through a small opening in restaurant area,

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The site was very nice, we liked the countryside away from everything feel. Good size pitch and on the whole clean facilities. We opted for a different pitch than the one allocated as that one would not have suited us at all and we probably wouldn't have stayed. However, it seemed no trouble to anyone to provide a different pitch which we liked very much.

Disliked: We loved the fact that children were clearly enjoying their holiday but they were a bit noisy until pretty late on. I guess that's the risk you take when camping.

Liked: The campsite is fairly big with lots of space between pitches. Toilet blocks very clean with hot water. We got a takeaway from the clubhouse which we only waited 15 minutes and was really good. Friendly staff and good amenities.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: It was so lovely to be in such beautiful surroundings,many places to walk through,sea views and splashing in was a great advantage in just 10 min walk away from our campsite,also we enjoyed so much in time in pool when weather was good enough to enjoy sea ,food in restaurant was delicious and reasonable prices also so handy corner shop wit actual grate o choice and make up all needs for us .The most enjoyable for our children was endless time in playground where children freely and safely could explore and make some friends which made my daughter in tears when we wos on departure to home , Fantastic place very well organised can’t find enough words how happy we were there and we definitely coming back next year for a bit longer. I will definitely recommend to families and to all so definitely will made good memories as we did . And actually it did remind me my own childhood where we could explore and play out till day is finished and only go back home when been hungry because place like this is bever enough time to be there ❤️

Disliked: NA

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: It was lovely apart from the rain. Payed for WiFi 3days 6.50 they took the money zero codes to put the WiFi on. The lady at the desk emailed them but on the last day I had someone message saying I should of got the codes which I didn't, still waiting on refund. However the park is lovely just a shame on connection with mobiles. The sea beach is 5min walk. Lots for kids to do. We just enjoyed chilling. Lovely and clean. Showers was nice and hot but need an upgrade. Plenty places to wash up. Club house which served food was at the other side of the campsite but a nice walk or drive. The reception has a shop and is very reasonable sold everything you need. Overall I rate this site 6 out of 10.

Disliked: WiFi Showers

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Ideal for tentboxers as well as all other camping methods. Huge, safe, enclosed park where kids can be free range and independent, great view of park meant we could watch them from our pitch without following their every step. Fab indoor pool with hot tub (pay slightly extra for the pool but so worth it) you will also need 20p for the lockers but we didn't have one so the pool assistant put our valuables behind reception and I put our bag of towels on top of the lockers instead. Fab system in place for the pool to ensure the next slot of swimmers are on the pool side before the previous swimmers enter the changing rooms. This worked well and meant there wasn’t any overcrowding. The food was lovely, we orders pizzas after our swim and ate that while our hair dried, it was quite quick service and it didn’t feel like we were waiting that long before they were brought out. Lovely friendly staff all over the site, I can’t fault any of them. Lovely wood to walk through and a rocky beach on the other side, sandy beach was just slightly further round but our kids (6 & 10) just wanted back on the park with their new friends and instead we stopped at a gorgeous beach nearby on the way home. Golf course and games room (we didn’t use either but they were there if we wanted them). On-site shop that sold all essentials plus there is supermarkets only a shortish drive away. Very friendly site with a 22.30 noise curfew (very much appreciated when trying to get the little ones to sleep) very clean toilet blocks and pool changing rooms, both equipped with hairdryers if needed. Very clean site, well maintained and looked after. We loved it here and the children didn’t want it to leave! I like to have a few “go to” parks for spontaneous last minute camping trips and this is currently at the top of our list. We can’t wait to go back

Disliked: Not dislikes, more just to be aware of: although dog owners did poop scoop on camp, it seems they didn’t apply the same rule in the wooded area. We did come across a few small “parcels” left behind. Not a massive issue but do check shoes before returning into your tent/camper. We managed to miss them but only after shouting at the kids to “watch that dog poo” last minute as their foot hovered above it. The pool reception can get busy with people checking into their slot and ordering food etc (I believe food can also be ordered and eaten in the bar area but we choose to eat it on the tables looking into the pool) sometimes there was only 1 lady doing both on this reception area and I think she was new and still leaning the ropes. Please be patient and don’t leave checking into your slot last minute like we did because you will have to wait your turn in the queue. You also need 20p for the lockers and again if you need to change money at reception, you need to join the queue delaying you getting into the pool

Local attractions

Fancy a canter? Brighouse Bay Trekking Centre is adjacent to Brighouse Bay Holiday Park, offering horse riding for all ages and abilities (weather dependent and seasonal) from fully trained staff; ask at the holiday park reception for details. Elsewhere, Dumfries and Galloway is packed with pursuits for all ages and interests – and it must be pointed out here that the ice cream and nature trails of the Cream O’Galloway ice cream factory are a mere 15 minutes away… Also nearby – how clever is Galloway as a visitor destination – the Cocoabean Company at Kirkcudbright has interactive children’s workshops and a chocolate shop (hurrah) alongside well-equipped and roomy indoor and outdoor play areas. While in town, kick around the grounds of 16th-century Maclellans Castle in the centre of Kirkcudbright, and have a look at Broughton House & Garden, former home of one of the Glasgow Boys EA Hormel and housing a huge collection of works by Robert Burns (painter, not poet Rabbie). At Gatehouse of Fleet, about nine miles to the north-west from Kirkcudbright, the Mill on the Fleet art gallery holds regular exhibitions and events like literary launches and talks; follow up a morning here with an afternoon at fifteenth century Cardoness Castle or around the thousands of species blooming around at Cally Palace Gardens. And a few more gems that must be seen on a Dumfries and Galloway holiday: a boat trip to huge Threave Castle on an island on the River Dee; a trip to the Gem Rock Museum at Creetown, filled with fossils, rocks, minerals and gemstones, and a stargazing trip to Galloway Forest Park, the first designated Dark Sky Park in the UK.
