June L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass and earth tent site (riverside)

Liked: Lovely area, showers and toilets were clean, has a wet area you can go into, my only bug bear was i was camped next to stored caravans, not very scenic at all, I had booked a different area by the water but was told it was closed due to being water logged, i was very disappointed as that's what attracted me to the campsite

Disliked: Looking at stored caravans, would be 5* otherwise

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked: Pitch layouts were a good distance apart and hook up was close too. Picnic benches available to use outdoors if you needed them. Indoor room with dining tables and chairs, log burner, board games, TV and dart board. All facilities were super clean. Very friendly guy running it.

Disliked: Noise from traffic as it is close to a very busy A road.

Local attractions

Rabbie Burns fans will do well around this area: it’ll take you around half an hour to get to Ayr to visit the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and the poet’s childhood home, now known as Burns Cottage. The 15th-century Brig o’ Doon (the setting for Tam o' Shanter) is a short trot from these attractions, and you can finish your day following in Burns’ footsteps with a pint at Poosie Nansies Inn, a couple of miles from the site. Ayr’s also a great place for a seaside walk or beach paddle; for more activity, there’s a riding centre 20 minutes’ drive from Catrine House and a golf course just a couple of minutes away. Horsey types may well also want to drop in on the gentle giants at Blackstone Clydesdales, 10 minutes away. For a slice of history, take a 20-minute ramble to the rock art site at Ballochmyle, or drive for 10 minutes to the 2,000-acre estate of Dumfries House, home to some gorgeous gardens and a splendid Chippendale collection.
