Avoid unless you have your own car.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very green grass.
Disliked For £20 a person to camp this was very very pooe value. Totally unsuitable unless you have your own vehicle. Its a long walk to Siloth for food.
The tap worked.
The cows were interesting.
That sums up the facilities, and as I say for £20 it's nor good enough.

Liked Very quiet site. Sparklingly clean toilet block/washing up area. Very friendly and helpful chap in charge of the site. And all a stone’s throw from the beach.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked The friendly welcome and best wishes for our onward journey were the best parts of the whole stay - Rowanbank is very lucky to have such a great man.
Payment was straight forward. The EHU was straightforward annd drinking water was close by. Clear instructions on how to use the barrier and choice of level well spaced out pitches was given.
Disliked The whole site is in a real desperate need of a major update. Looks and feels like the 1970’s. Comes across as a family cash cow with no investment being made to provide facilities worthy for 2025. The dilapidated showers were so very bad I couldn’t face having one and the toilet and dish washing sinks’ water wasn’t particularly hot. The concept of recycling has not reached Rowanbank as yet either.

Liked A really peaceful site, very friendly and welcoming. Although I agree with other comments about the shower block in need of a bit of an upgrade, everywhere was perfectly clean and tidy. Wonderful location, we really enjoyed our stay.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Clear instructions when arriving and a well maintained site. The staff were very approachable and helpful. Specifically Bob the site manager, on hand to answer any questions and went above and beyond for us when we had an issue with our trailer. He also ensured we have suitable ground for our next planned trip. Overall it was a lovely experience and would highly recommend.
Disliked The only downside to this site is that the toilet/shower block could do with an update as it is quite dated. However it was clean and did the job.

Lovely site, clean facilities, friendly staff
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Campsite was lovely, nice space to put the tents. Not too far a walk from the toilet block and it was clean with spacious showers and a laundry room available. The owner was friendly on arrival. It was such good value for money and will be booking again ☺️
