Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The park was nice and peaceful
Disliked: The toilet and shower facilities were absolutely gross and probably the worst I have encountered in 15 weeks of travel though Ireland and Scotland. They are in desperate need of an upgrade, even just a coat of paint and new grout would help. Every single surface is filthy, the floors are disgusting with hair and dirt everywhere, the showers are covered in mould, the paintwork is peeling and the basins stained, and they smell terrible. Used toilet paper and someone’s dirty sock left on the floor for the two days I stayed. So dirty I couldn’t bring myself to shower! Also the bin area has rubbish all around it where the patrons have missed the bins, some of it was so old it was rotting

Liked: Plenty of space between good level pitches. Water available nearby. Barbecue area and a good play park for kiddies. Toilet block spotlessly clean and fresh smelling.
Disliked: No signs for waste water disposal. Some say the toilet blocks are old and run down, but if it's clean I'm happy.
