Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland
Primitive cement/asphalt campervan campsite (small)
Liked Facilities were excellent. Kitchen was well equipped and very clean. Toilet was also very clean. Site was very quiet and in a lovely location.
Disliked The campervan pitch is very uneven and not level. There was also a bad smell of a dead animal near the toilet, though we appreciate the owner of the site had tried to identify and remove this it was still lingering while we were there.

From the manager: We are what we are and we are not what we are not. We aren't a normal touring caravan site and this booking came about due to an error on the Pitch up site which I had not spotted. We usually have a two night minimum stay but decided to honour your booking as the mix up was a technical glitch and not at all your error. What we are is a tiny little site in a haven for wildlife and unfortunately wildlife sometimes means wild dead and this unfortunate creature had inconveniently died in the vacinity of the facilities block leaving a vague smell for a short period of time which we can only apologise for. We offer a unique opportunity for people to encounter wildlife up close and personal but totally get this is not the sort of encounter most people would relish. With regard to the campervan spot not being level, its not. We are a tiny site in a hidden valley with granite hills surrounding and all our land is sloping due to closely underlying bedrock, We never intended to cater for campervans but in Covid we added this one space as people had no where to go and people loved it so much we have retained it because not everyone can afford to stay with us in one of our camping huts and we strongly believe in providing affordable opportunities for people to experience our stunning site in the beautiful Stewartry National Scenic area. Since your review I have tried to alter the name on the Pitch up listing to slightly sloping campervan spot, lets hope I can achieve that to save any future upset. I can only apologise for not making it clear to you at the time of booking that the spot is slightly sloping, I've got so used to campervans carrying chocks to level up and with the initial confusion around this booking I've clearly neglected to mention that you do need chocks in that space to level up. Please excuse the long winded reply and thankyou for your feedback and dropping our overall rating to 9.9 as I always feel that straight 10 ratings seem a bit false, you have made our site ratings look more real and reminded me to emphasis the need for chocks. To sum up this has been my error in accepting this booking because we are not a normal touring caravan site we are a tiny little haven in a hidden valley surrounded by hills, trees and wild life where you can be at one with nature and people that are looking for such an experience love it here and I always say people looking for a normal site might not be happy here and for which I can only apologise.

Braunton, Devon, England
Primitive grass campsite (basic)
Liked Liked the location and the staff were all really friendly. Loved the lobb shack. The showers were warm. Lovely big pitches.
Disliked Shower cubicles could do with being slightly bigger, difficult not to get dry clothes wet, or set the shower off when getting dry. But really lovely site.
