What customers say

Amazing cliff-top sea and castle views! Immaculate, modern loos. Easy scenic walks to Portpatrick. Friendly staff. Some found facilities a bit far or ground a bit hard, but most raved about it.

Liked Sea view location
Coastal path short walk into Portpatrick <15 min walk
Local bar/cafe/restaurant good <10 min walk
Free pitching spaces
Friendly staff

Disliked Limited lighting on access roads
Facilties, ie Toilet/shower block cleaning (weekend?) should be more frequent / rigorously
Site maintenance workers started too early adjacent to tents
Site rules not reinforced, wrt late arrivals, and pitching too close

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent site which was very well maintained and clean.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked What a view! We were right at the edge of the cliffs facing the sea with the Castle in view.
The pitches were far enough a part so not on top of each other, even with an awning.
The site was easy to find with clear directions.
There are walks along the cliff tops well maintained and a quick 20 mins walk to Portpatrick for essentials, bars and restaurants.

Disliked I thought with a large site there would have been larger facilities with only 3 toilets and 3 showers for both male and female. Only 2 sinks for washing your utensils.
A reasonable walk to the 1 Epsom point and water tap, making it difficult if the cartridges and vessels are were full.
Albeit there was some maintenance being held possibly some improvements.

Disgusting elsan point - mind you don’t fall in !!

Local attractions

Take a stroll through the lush waterside plantings at Logan Botanic Garden (half an hour’s drive), where – thanks to the warming presence of the Gulf Stream – palms and eucalyptus trees thrive, while loch-side walks at Castle Kennedy Gardens (25 minutes) lead to the photogenic ruins of a castle and swathes of colourful rhododendrons (the latter in spring). When the kids need a relaxing run around in the fresh Scottish air, take them to Agnew Park (15 minutes) for go-karting, boating and expeditions aboard a mini train. There are walking and cycling trails for all abilities in Galloway Forest Park (45 minutes), where you could also surprise youngsters with feeding the goats at the Wild Goat Park (50 minutes). There are golf courses and fishing lakes within half an hour’s drive, and if you hit an odd rainy day (this being south-west Scotland), pay a visit to the fighter jets in their hangars at Stoneykirk Aviation Museum (15 minutes).
