Glen Trothy Caravan Park

Liked The owner was very pleasant and friendly but we didn't get any sort of instruction paperwork on arrival telling us the specifics or layout of the park etc. Although we parked next to the shower block, we could have done with some info on the area for taking our dog for a toilet break etc. I didn’t know where to take him.

Disliked We booked last minute on the heat wave weekend and so I wasn’t expecting much since it was the last available option in the area and so it was as expected really. Dated and tatty.

The pitches are uneven, cracked old paving slabs, and overgrown with weeds. Tricky to put up an awning but we managed by pegging it into the cracks.

We asked if we could switch to a grass pitch but were told there were no free electrical grass pitches. There were lots of empty grass pitches with electric points around us so I can only conclude that they were out of order.

Shower block was dated and dirty the whole time, though we only stayed one night and it was a busy weekend. ‘Pay for’ showers using 20p’s which we didn’t have, alternatively it jumps up to a £1 for longer which was too long for one person and we only had £1 coins so I just left it running when I left which seemed like a rip off and a waste of water. Also, only 3 of the 4 showers worked as one was out of order. Toilets un-flushed by residents but regular checks and cleaning would solve that issue.

There is a road running alongside which was busy all night but didn’t bother me. My partner who is a light sleeper noticed it but not to the point of keeping him awake all night.

Nonetheless we enjoyed our evening but this was due to amazing, uplifting weather and we packed up and left early to enjoy the forests in the area.

Liked Beautiful scenery around the campsite and a brilliant playground in the centre so you can see the children. Showers are great.

Liked Level pitches with plenty of room.

Disliked On site facilities were very tired and in need of upgrading.
Charging for a shower was new to us - never come across this before. The water was scalding and had no thermostat control. You couldn't turn the shower off when you'd finished as it was on a timer - what a waste of money!
No hot water at all in the sinks.
The EHU and water stands were held together with tape.
A large site and the only bins were at the entrance and not signposted at all.
A 40 minute walk to the nearest place where we could eat, drink, buy essentials.

Liked On arrival we were met by the owner who was very easy to talk to. Had a choice of where we wanted to pitch on the grass , as it was hot we pitched in the shade. Pitches are a good size, facility’s nice and clean. Had a nice walk off site up the lane with the dogs … would definitely use this site in the future

Liked My very first trip in our new caravan and it couldn’t have gone better. The site was well laid out and the site manager Fiona was extremely pleasant and helpful. She was very happy to give recommendations on the local area and knew her stuff!
In the morning all I could hear was the birds singing and was nice and quiet which to me is what would look for in a caravan park.
I can’t comment on the showers or toilets because I didn’t use them and I was too old to use the fantastic looking playground for children.
For a busy bank holiday weekend and a very last minute booking on my part it really was a lovely site!
