Beautiful spot, friendly and lots of animals to fuss over.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked What a find, it was the roaming goats and donkeys that sold it on the site booking. Lovely farm, plenty of room between pitches, lots of animals to fuss and we loved watching a silver stallion galloping across the field and calling to the other horses. Katy the owner is welcoming and really accommodating, nothing seems to phase her. The food van was a bonus, bacon butties in the morning and pulled pork tacos for tea. A really lovely stay, only two nights but I would happily stay a week.
Disliked Nothing

Simple, relaxed campsite.
Powered grass tent campsite (small)
Liked Simple, relaxed campsite. Plenty of space and options for where to pitch. Plenty of clean facilities for washing, showering, toilet. Donkeys, chickens and goats wandering among the tents might have bothered some people, I guess, but I didn't mind it.
Disliked The only thing I didn't like were the bright lights in the toilet during the night: when it's dark I like it to be dark! But that's just me, I guess :)

Beautiful views, great location for visiting Largs.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked The views were lovely and the facilities were very clean! Katie was really welcoming when we arrived too. The site is 5 minutes’ drive to Largs which is a beautiful little town to visit!
Disliked There’s a 60mph road separating the hardstanding pitches and the rest of the site, with no gates or barriers - absolute no-go for us with little ones in tow. There was lots of dog poo along the walkers’ path which we suspected may have been from the site owners’ dogs as we saw someone ride off on a farm quad with 4 dogs following behind (no leads) right down the path and then return 5 minutes later with no poo bags! Possible coincidence, but nevertheless, watch your step if you’re off on a walk!
Also, we knocked at reception 3 times (to ask if the children could collect eggs) and nobody answered. When we found a member of staff later on, she said the hens hadn’t been laying for months, so maybe an update on pitchup needed.

Location, close to Largs and in a nice peaceful countryside setting. Pitches,…
Powered grass tent campsite (medium)
Liked Location, close to Largs and in a nice peaceful countryside setting.
Pitches, large and with flexibility, so able to pitch next to friends.
Plenty of availability of electric hook up pitches.
Toilets / showers - reasonably clean, especially if early to use / not after lots of people. But temporary / portacabin-style and not much ventilation in showers or room to get changed with dry floor (no shower curtains so floor easily wet).
Friendly welcome, relaxed hosts, accommodated request to store bikes in barn (weather wasn’t great and would have had to keep in tents otherwise).
Didn’t have opportunity to try catering van but looked promising (recommend being able to take card payments in future).
Working farm - lots of points of interest for young children.
Picnic tables - was really useful for eating at as a group, and for playing card games etc at (during the limited times it stopped raining!).
Disliked Free roaming animals means free roaming poo (watch your step!) but was cleaned up at least once while we were there.
Lack of communal covered space, I.e., been at sites before with camping lounge / kitchen for during bad weather (and weather was bad!).
Car park - bit of a slog from where we pitched carrying all our stuff in the rain… prefer being able to park next to pitch.
Showers could benefit from shower curtains - or a bit more space to change with dry flooring.

A fantastic well maintained campsite which we will return to for sure
Powered grass tent campsite (small)
Liked What an amazing location and fabulous facilities. The food van run by Marcus was delicious.
Disliked Folk still out laughing and chatting close to midnight when Ts&Cs say to keep it down after 10pm. Don’t mind folk enjoying the weather but keep it down. Not the fault of the site.

Great working farm,clean,lovely.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Lots of areas to choose from. Loved the horses and wildlife. Pretty area. Lovely working farm.
Clean toilets and showers, good facilities. Owners/staff were nice when I spoke with them.
Disliked The midges! A notice on reception door to inform of opening/closing times would be good as WiFi signal was poor. I felt bad I had rang the reception bell after closing hours but didn’t know until I could access my emails again. WiFi code in original email would have been helpful too. Pitches could be levelled a bit when time and funds allow.
