Fronalchen Caravan Park

Liked Its a very open field you can pitch up anywhere around the edge, loved that the stream was nust behind us and was a lush white noise to get to sleep.
Looks like the toilet shower block was pretty new
The area is pretty secluded but has a lovely walk around some stunning waterfalls
There's a village thats about a 40 min walk

Disliked The toilet and shower block could have been bigger with the amount of people in the field, the potaloos in the field smell
We had a pretty rude encounter with the farmer/owner, we threw our non recycling bin bag away in the general waste (which had mostly kitchen towel in it due to cleaning up rain puddles in the tent) and we held the bin lid open for him, he gave the worse scowl and launched whatever he had in to the bin, I understand hes probably encountered alot of people leaving behind mess, but we stand by the leave no trace and always clean up after ourselves.
Also mind the super steep hill on entrance and exit

Liked Great camp site all round. Good space, electric was great. Gentleman who owned/ran the camp was very helpful and always cleaning up to ensure a clean area.

Disliked The only bad thing I would say is no hot water to wash up but we just boiled water and did it tent side

Liked Lovely views
Flat pitches
Value for money

Disliked The bins were overflowing and bin bags on the piled up on the ground. Either need more bins or somehow more enforcement on recycling.

Facilities needed a clean- the portaloos were cleaned in the evening so assuming someone went into the shower area but didn't seem like it when we went in.

No staff to be seen throughout the day.

Liked On arriving the views were breathtaking of the mountains. The check in was simple with a QR code to scan and fill out a quick form. The site was quiet and not over filled which was lovely as we came away to get away from the busy lives we lead. It was lovely to sit outdoors and listen to the wildlife and watch the farm animals roam free round the campsite. The site was close to amineties and a small town.

Disliked On arrival coming into the campsite the site could have been tidied up a little, it was overgrown near the house onsite and the bins were overflowing. Also on site the bins were that full there was bags just thrown at the side, they were only emptied once on our stay of 5nights. The staff office onsite to buy wood from we only saw open ones which was a shame as that was the only time we meet anyone that worked onsite.

Not the campsite fault but other campers arrived and were smoking substances which were potent when walking past to use the toilet facilities and also playing load music.

Also there was only one sink outside to wash pots which was cold water. This wasn’t an issue due to the site not been busy while we were there but at peak season could see this been an issue. Also this could be sheltered to prevent getting wet while washing your pots and also having more surface space to place pots down once washed.

Liked Quiet site, lovely area and views. Simple campsite, tidy and clean toilet and shower block.
Nice wild swimming along side the camping area. Nearby to a small village.
Military planes flew over on the way to kear by mach loop, great for my plane spotter son. Asked to extend our stay will there and was able to. very really friendly staff.

Disliked Last night of our stay the site was very busy, and camper pitched up in a small 1 man tent behind ours, squeezed between us and the fence. Kept us awake till late due to being only afew feet away from our tent. Nothing to do both the site though, just on of those things.

Liked Fantastic back to basics campsite. Very welcoming staff at reception, made us feel very welcome. Huge tent pitches, we were able to pitch bell tent with car next to it. Although there is a main toilet block, they are at the top of the field. They have portaloos dotted at regular intervals which were cleaned regularly. Beautiful views and quiet site

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that noise from nearby campers affected your stay. We do have a strict quiet time between 10:30pm and 7am, and we’ll continue to make sure this is clearly communicated and enforced.

Unfortunately, road noise is outside our control. TV reception is also generally available on site.

Liked Scenery. Seeing family groups and friends enjoying themselves. Noise reduced about 11. 👍 Toulets and washbasins were fine.

Disliked Showers in need of a good clean - lots of old grass and mucky edges. Had to scrub the floor before I could shower.
Couldn’t find anywhere to empty grey waste. Had to empty into the grass by my pitch. Caravans/tents too close together - fire regs not adhered to. Elsan point left a lot to be desired - opened the lid to be looking straight down to the bottom of a pit. VERY basic.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the facilities didn't meet your expectations during your stay. Our shower facilities are new this year and are cleaned regularly, so we’re disappointed to hear they were found in this condition. We also take site safetyseriously and don't disregard fire safety requirements. We will, however, review the points you’ve raised with the team.
