Bankings Field primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Lovely site, helpful staff, lots of space on pitch, the views of the Lomond Hill is awesome. Lovely play park for kids and handy having the cafe and shop on site. The campsite is far enough away from the shop and cafe that it's peaceful. Fire pits allowed.
Disliked: Toilets are quite a walk away from the campsite

Bankings Field primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Great views and decent facilities. The walks nearby and into Falkland are lovely and it's so nice to have the little shop on hand.
Disliked: Other campers chopping down wood - it would be great to see some more obvious signs in the area. We were placed on a very slopped site that made sleeping incredibly uncomfortable. It seems like there are two or three pitches that slope down towards the river.

Primitive cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite
Liked: A lovely, quiet, wee site in a peaceful setting. Was lovely to hear all the birds singing in the morning. Facilities are fine, but just as well it wasn't too busy as they are quite small. Lovely farm shop with cafe. The cakes are great.
Disliked: Can be quite a walk to the facilities depending on where you are. Kids play park could do with an update.
