Primitive gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked: We loved this site! It was beautifully laid out around a lochan. Plenty of room between pitches and really tranquil. We had our morning coffee watching a host of birds which was delightful. We were very excited to see a kingfisher flitting around the reeds. We will definitely return.
Disliked: We were nearly put off by some of the negative comments around the toilet block. While dated it was spotlessly clean with lots of hot water. I am so glad we didn't get deterred by the comments

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Great to see this lovely site gradually recover from the devastation caused by the big storm. Helpful staff when booking and they responded well to suggestions.
Disliked: No specific area for pitching tents. Had to pitch on long grass between pods. Toilet block and washing up sink area in need of an upgrade. Slide in play park also in need of replacement. We would have liked separate recycling facilities.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: the grass was newly hydroseeded last year and not all ready for cutting we have full recycling as our bulk waste is collected by the Binn group and recycled off site in an state of the art facility the toilet and wash facilities are old i am afraid and will have to close in septemebr
