Liked: Easy to find and handy for us catching ferry.
Facilities - toilets and showers were kept clean by nice friendly staff. The railway wasn't too noisy surprisingly.
Level pitches.
Disliked: The security checking procedure prior to arrival was particularly onerous for a UK campsite
Touring pitches adjacent to a well used railway line.

Liked: Nothing. Facilities shabby and cold. Advertised as dog friendly but this turned out to be in your accommodation only (we have a vw camper) so could not make use of any of the facilities I.e. restaurant for dinner or breakfast.
Disliked: Everything - booked for two nights but only stayed for one.
Next to a caravan with their filth everywhere.

Liked: The cafe for breakfast
Disliked: Bridge closed to beach, 1 mile walk to next bridge in town. Site sandwiched between abattoir and railway line. Ok as only one night on way to Arran ferry.

Liked: Everyone seemed friendly
Disliked: The site needs some investment. The shower block was tired and very dirty. The pitches were right next to the railway line. The site advertised it was close to the beach but the bridge over the railway was condemned so we couldn’t get there. Price was it was more expensive than some really nice we’ve stayed on.
