Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: I love the motorhome pitches as they definitely had the best view. Lovely views of the sea and the costal walk was close by my pitch. The toilets and showers where very clean and it was good to have a hair dryer supplied
Disliked: I disliked how far away the toilet block was from the pitches, I felt the toilet block was closer to the hard standing lodges that have toilet showers etc inside them rather than being close to the camping, motorhome and touring pitches that don’t tent to have a toilet inside. It was about a 4 minute walk from me, that doesn’t sound to long but as a solo female traveller it was quite scary during the night as there wasn’t any park lighting either. No WiFi on site and I didn’t find the 4g to good

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Beautiful views. Nice and clean with good facilities. All accommodation is good quality and pitches are a good size. Beware of the cliff edge,. Ipt is a good lace to tour that part of Scotland and Port Patrick is always a treat to visit. Eatery very near to site where we had lasagne and scampi. Site Staff helpful but not intrusive. Would highly recommend.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Gorgeous views, dog friendly, access on-site to the coastal path into Portpatrick (20 minutes walk), generally clean site (apart from a couple of very large, unsightly areas next to the touring pitches where on-site rubble, pallets etc have been dumped - can’t understand this as the rest of the site is immaculate), very friendly, great toilet & shower facilities. Accepts groups.
Disliked: Exposed field at edge of the cliff meant it was difficult to pitch, cook & socialise when it was windy. 200 yards further into the site was far more comfortable weather wise, but the tent & van pitches are very exposed. Be warned, it’s also very hard ground and basic tent pegs for awnings etc won’t do. Zero recycling facilities, only large industrial bins.
