Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Paid on line no problem. Got to site no security (gate or person) no one in reception phone number didn't work. Looked on reviews people said that they parked on any empty pitch which we did.no one about to ask for code for toilets so we couldn't use them.we only stopped there as visited frends near by .reception was open 10 o'clock the following morning, my wife spoke to receptionist who offered us the code for toilets we declined as we were ready to leave. They was the most expensive car park I stayed in in Scotland £30 We won't be back,

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: - Lots of space.
- Clean, warm and ample toilets/ showers.
- Hot and cold water.
- Quiet location but accessible to Monifieth and Carnoustie and bus stops are at the entrance to the site.
- Onsite bar is great and open from 1800 - but closed on Mon and Tuesday
Disliked: No manned reception and no advance information provided. Just arrive and pitch-up anywhere. Fortunately the toilet/ shower block door was unlocked, but it does have a keypad. The phone number for the site does not work.

Liked: Open all year
Disliked: Power supply, kept tripping out and almost convinced me there was an issue with the fridge and microwave
The extortionate rate charged for a dog, we have two and the bill for them equally a quarter of our last nights costs 25%. This wouldn't be so bad if there were provision for the dogs as is the case at Glen Nevis for example and they make no charge for pets.

Liked: Open all year
Disliked: Power supply kept tripping out.
We had to run our fridge and heating on gas.
Power supply so poor we that the microwave would not heat food in fact we initially thought the microwave was no longer working and were on the point of buying a replacement.
Cost charged for accompanying pets particularly when there is no provision made for them like an exercise area.

Liked: Nice flat pitches
Disliked: No one to speak to, called reception but the number didn’t work. Didn’t realise you just chose any pitch. It’s completely unregulated, technically anyone could just rock up and park without even paying. Washing up area taps at sink didn’t work, had to wash dishes in the bathroom. Didn’t feel safe. Convenient stop over but would definitely not recommend, no one is friendly, just a weird place.
