Kinross, Perthshire, Scotland
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked We loved the Kinross area and we had enough space on our pitch for our tourer and awning. The picnic benches scattered around the site were very handy.
My daughter enjoyed using the park and we had plenty of space to play games.
Disliked As many people have mentioned, the showers in the female shower block do not last long enough. Both showers switch off just past 4 minutes. We mentioned it to the site owner numerous times. It wouldn't normally be particularly annoying, but when you have to pay extra for something that should be included, you expect them to function correctly!
The washing machine is pay per use (total expected) but unfortunately the washing machine constantly goes past the time given. So in turn, you have to go back and put even more money in the machine or the cycle will not finish. These 2 extras of having to put more cash in machines soon adds up, and no doubt works out to be lovely little earner for the owner.
The site owner came round and spoke to my wife after we'd been on site for well over a week. He told her that she needs to pull the groundsheet in our awning up every couple of days. We were due to leave in 2 days, so this information was very late and also came across in a very passive aggressive manor. Also, how we are supposed to pull a groundsheet up when we have a full awning is rather confusing, and something we've never been asked to do in all our years of touring/camping. Also, what should we do with our belongings in the meantime.....
Personally we think the quiet time is too late of 11pm. In reality, the site was still noisy past this time on many occasions, but this is often an issue with families just being rude and disrespectful to others. Maybe if the time was brought forward to 10pm, people would start being quieter earlier.

Liked Very friendly staff.
The gym had enough to keep me occupied.
Pub and restaurant is well worth a visit.
Touring pitch size was great.
Hundreds of wild rabbits for my daughter to look at.
A whole host of things to do within an hour's drive
Disliked The noisy weekend kids. The same kids appeared over 3 weekends and they were very noisy. Admittedly they kept to the site rules of being quiet from 10pm. My biggest concern was them driving and riding around on an electric quad, electric bike, electric go kart and electric scooters, diving in and out of all the caravan pitches on to the main access road. It's impossible to see kids at that height when you're in a car and it's only a matter of time until an unexpected car driver hits one, as the kids had very little regard for road safety. I know this is more of a parenting issue really, but the park will also end up suffering in the long run if the unthinkable happens.
A mop and bucket would also be nice in the shower rooms, as we didn't like leaving a mess and we also didn't like going for a shower if someone else had recently been in. The shower rooms don't have a drain.
