What customers say
Castle Bay offers incredible cliff-top sea and Dunskey Castle views. Immaculately clean, modern facilities and friendly staff are praised. Peaceful and well-kept. Close to Portpatrick via coastal path. Some mention facilities distance, wind, and Elsan point.

Lovely campsite
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Great campsite, toilet and shower facilities were very clean, Owners were very welcoming we will definitely stay there again
Disliked We stayed on the front row with Electric hook up …our only issue was that when we arrived we were pushed over into the next pitch as the caravan and car was onto our pitch slightly and when the next lot of people arrived they were parked very close to our van, so when we opened our door we had a car within 3 feet of our van, might be a plan putting something down to mark the boundary’s between pitches

Nice view poor pitch staff very scarce
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked The view was amazing
Disliked The pitch wasn’t great right at the end with dumping ground in the back ground. The pitch we were given was poor the rain had washed mud into pitch. No one on reception had to move pitch over. Far away from amenities. I feel it is set up more for residential caravans or large motor homes.

The views
Unpowered grass site
Liked The views, shower blocks clean, friendly owner, nice walk into portpatrick, site well looked after, absolutely would return and recommend
Disliked The showers not powerful, it’s more like a spray that comes out, not so bad it was summer but wouldn’t fancy them in winter also although everyone camping were quiet after 10pm the lodges were noisy, 3pm check in also the latest I’ve found a campsite to be, even with all these dislikes I would 💯 return
