Liked Lovely valley setting. My second visit and just as impressive again. Clean and modern facilities. Plenty space to spread out and for kids to play.
Very clean, lovely staff and Xl pitches.

Liked Running farm so animals everywhere which was so enjoyable for kids. Goats to pet, donkeys wandering the camp areas and plenty of horses and sheep to see also. Little coffee bar was open really good hours and guys working it were so friendly and helpful. Site was quite when there so we were allowed to pick our pitch, if we hadnt been would have been no isses regardless as all pitches were great sized. Toilets and showers all very clean every time we used. We have no complaints whatsoever on this camp site and plan to return within next few weeks.
From the manager: Thank you so much for the positive review it means a lot! We are a small family business and we do strive to do our very best!
Delighted that you had a great stay with us and we look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
Best wishes

Absolutely beautiful campsite, can’t wait to book again!
Powered grass tent site (small)
Liked The animals, the tranquility, the friendliness of the host! It was the perfect trip and we can’t wait to go back! Feels so remote but is only five minutes away from town.
From the manager: Just what we are hoping for! It's like wild camping but with facilities and we really do hope there is something for everyone!
Largs has all amenities if you suddenly feel you have forgotten something!
We hope to see you again soon.
Best wishes

Very close to Largs and nicely situated for touring or a longer stay.

Powered grass tent site (medium)
Liked Amazing site, lovely hosts. Free roaming donkeys, goats, cats and chickens made for a very fun stay! Facilities very clean and well stocked, choice of any tent pitch. Had a brilliant time and my daughter said it's the best camp we've ever had!
Disliked Having to come home
From the manager: Ahh excellent!! Just what we like to hear! The animals are definitely the star attractions here! Hannah and Hettie are our rescued miniature donkeys and are 22 years old and were born in Texas!!
All the animals are friendly and love to meet our guests.
I hope we see you all for another camp in the near future.
Best wishes and have a good summer!
Katie and Team SWF

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review and we are delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable stay! I do hope the goats didn't arrive at your BBQ!
We hope to see you again soon.

Enjoy the stay
Powered grass tent site (medium)
Liked Quite place to stay not far from a small village with shops and sea front enjoyed walking around there.
Disliked Toilet was bit on the small but they waer keep clean and tidy at all time
From the manager: Thank you for the review and we are glad you enjoyed it.
Kind regards
Katie
Ok site, but not one I would stay in for more than one night.
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Nice location, very quiet. Good Wi-Fi.
Disliked There was rubbish all around the door to the loos/showers and although they weren’t filthy, they could have been a lot cleaner. I don’t think anything had been moved for a very long time to be cleaned behind. The lower shelf of the stool in the shower obviously hadn’t been cleaned for quite some time as it had a think layer of dust/dirt. The actual pitches are level, but there is no grass area adjacent to them and nothing has been tidied/cut.
From the manager: I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay with us and as we have learnt from being in this industry we can't please all people all of the time.
We did have one of the wettest Junes on record and so it was impossible to get strimming, hedge cutting and grass cutting done.
I wish you well in your other travels.
Regards
Katie
