Bankings Field non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Lovely site, cafe and shop, clean facilities. Great views from the pitch.
Disliked: It is a long walk to the toilets from the tent area (although there are a couple of portaloos closer). Only one shower in the ladies and one in the mens which could be annoying at busy times.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked: Nice van pitch, was very quiet so not a lot of neighbours, cafe and farm shop were lovely to have nearby. Play park was great natural spot for my young kids who love a nature kitchen and swings. Bathrooms were nice enough, shower wasn’t brand new but clean and easily accessible.
Disliked: Van pitches seemed quite close together, not a bad thing but good to know if you have an awning tent to attach.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked: Beautiful spot. Lovely cafe and shop on site. Forest walks nearby
Disliked: No grey water disposal Path from tent camping to facilities runs right by camper van pitches so best to pitch accordingly as little campers running back and forth to toilet/playpark/cafe

Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked: Rustic type site with good facilities Including cafe and shop handy if your camping with pleasant staff. Particularly the solo traveller discount on campervan pitch which is hard to find elsewhere.
Disliked: Just a comment consider relocating campervan pitches to other end of field due to close proximity of trees in high winds. Also away from road and other users for privacy.

Bankings Field non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful setting surrounded by nature, generously-sized pitches, spotless facilities, peaceful campsite, great value, the park. The sheltered fire pit area was an absolute godsend in the mixed Scottish weather!
Disliked: We were on pitch K and it was a bit close to pitch J making it a bit awkward when outside tents but most of the time we had the campsite to ourselves so it was only a problem on one night.
