Amazing family campsite. Highly recommend & we will definitely be back

Aug 2026

Liked I found Macdonalds through a Google search and I'm so glad I did. It's such a fantastic campsite! We liked the great location of Macdonalds as its only a short walk from Porthcothan beach, which is a really gorgeous beach. The restaurant and bar area were the best we've ever had at a campsite. Great food, live music was incredible and the staff were always friendly. The toilet block area was always clean but then we have a small complaint to follow. The view over the fields was stunning and we could also see the lights from Boardmasters, where our eldest was staying. The free WiFi on site was very easy to log in to and we had signal on our pitch towards the back of the site. We've never had that facility on a campsite before and it was a lovely perk to have with a teenage son. The vibe there was really relaxed and we had the best 5 nights away with friends who also loved the site!

Disliked We have 2 complaints about our stay. Although the toilet block was clean and modern, only having 2 showers for women, 2 for men and another 2 for families is not enough at all for 66 pitches (when full as it was when we were staying). I also only had hot water for about 1 minute of my shower and then it was cold on 2 separate days. There is no temperature dial, just a push button. The other complaint was our pitch location. We were on 64 which was on a corner section. Although nice and big for our tent and car, it tended to be a cut through for people and just didn't feel very private. It didn't offer any privacy either as we had others behind and to the side with a road in front. We would definitely book again though and want to come next year, just we'll ask for 1 of the more secluded pitches.
