Great beach views, direct coast access for walks. Friendly staff. Facilities mostly clean, though some dated/busy. Peaceful, family-friendly, many return. Minor gripes: pitch flatness, Wi-Fi, shop stock.

Lovely site with a beautiful beach.
Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked The beach! It was beautiful!
We stayed down the quiet end where the statics were and I’m so glad we did. It was pleasant, peaceful and nicely spaced out. The other end seemed a bit more cramped but it seemed to be groups of people, they were very respectful but it’s just not our cup of tea.
The showers and toilets are quite dated as people have said but they are usable, they do get dirty very quickly with being right in the beach but there was always someone there trying their best to keep on top of them.
Kids were very safe riding their bikes around and having the beach right in your door step was great. When the tide is out you can walk for miles.
The little shop has a little bit of everything in and is reasonably priced.
Love it and will be back.

Noisy but great views great location for Galloway good walks on beach
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great for the beach and walks around the site. Staff were friendly and helpful. Closed secure site. Electricity was great
Disliked Pitch sizes were small and cramped although views were very good. Grass and ground could have been better. Site was noisy for three of our four days mainly no doubt due to weekend and it being summer. Toilets were far to far a way from our pitch which required a dark night time walk. Also because of beach use the toilets were often wet and a little dirty. Had to pay extra for the Wifi

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Location was good
The toilets were well maintained
Staff were friendly
The site has a small shop
Disliked Shop is quite pricey and has limited stock, no ice sold for example. It also shuts quite early. No food outlets.
These are minor points, positives definitely outweigh these!
