Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The facilities at the campsite were great, plenty of showers and toilets. Separate pot wash room indoors which was ideal for the Scottish summer weather. The entertainment hub was great and spotlessly clean. Entertainment passes were included in the pitch up price which meant free access to the swimming too. We had 4 small children with us and the lifeguards were absolutely fantastic and so friendly. Food was fab and reasonably priced.
Disliked: The tent pitches were so close together, when we arrived there was another tent against our plug-in which then left us really tight for space.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The size of site and entertainment complex for the kids. Entertainment complex clean and not too busy even in the summer holidays
Disliked: Check out time in the morning seemed pretty early. Arcade amusements were looking a little worn down and only a few members of staff looking after it all, kept very busy but did a great job.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: I liked the short walk to the beach, that's why I booked it.
Disliked: The pitch sizes are tiny motor homes and campers crammed together.we were pitched next to a old knackered caravan. Showers and toilets are untidy and a bit dirty never seen anyone in cleaning.lots of children running in and out. No hand soap and dirty sinks.and discarded clothes left lying around. This is the place for families who allow their children to run wild and enjoy themselves. So if you are travelling just adults don't book this place. I don't recommend and won't be going back.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Pitches weren’t too far from the shower block which was good with young kids. Was able to get into swim even though we hadn’t pre booked. Arcades and show bar were fun to spend a couple of hours in when it was raining outside. Electric pitches. Clean facilities
Disliked: Booking email said go to reception when we arrive to check in. We got there around 7.30pm and reception was closed. No signs up to say what to do or where to go when reception was closed. No phone number on the booking email. Spent the first hour when we arrived looking around to figure out how to check in. Finally found the reception at the entertainment bar was the place to check in but no one was there. After more waiting someone finally came back to reception and checked us in. Wasn’t a good first impression and after a long day travelling we wanted to get set up before it got too late. No wifi at the pitch and no internet signal on our phones so made it impossible to plan the rest of our trip and look for things to do
