A aimé Wonderful campsite. Very clean an amazing sunset. I appreciated the use of the gazebo in the evening. One of the best values of have found in Scotland.

A aimé A very warm and friendly welcome on arrival. My pitch (number 4) had a stunning view over the sea – absolutely beautiful. The pitches are spacious and well laid out, giving plenty of room. The sanitary facilities were spotless and well maintained, with the added bonus of showers where you can adjust the temperature – a real plus point. Another highlight was the delicious breakfast at the tearoom right next door. The location is also excellent, right off the main road, making it very convenient for travelling.

N'a pas aimé The road nearby can be quite busy, but personally I didn’t find it disturbing at all during my stay.

A aimé Tearoom cakes (and staff 😀) were lovely .
Shower block and toilets were clean and tidy although there were no hand towels in the gent’s toilets when my husband used them.

N'a pas aimé Hadn’t realised campsite was situated right next to extremely busy A77 - a major trunk road ! Noise from fast moving traffic was horrendous - especially at night when delivery/ container lorries etc. were thundering past .Didn’t sleep a wink . Advertised as being across road from beach but anyone crossing over to get to said beach took their lives in their hands.
We really wanted to for a walk to explore but there was only a very narrow pavement outside the site about 50 metres long. It ended at a blind bend across the road from which there was apparently a path down to the beach, however, anyone crossing there was definitely tempting fate as the traffic came round so fast you wouldn’t stand a chance.
Even walking along the narrow pavement was scary as you could feel the drag from the traffic.
Site itself was a bit untidy with grass needing cut and molehills beside our pitch.
Sink area for washing dishes wasn’t very clean with people leaving food residue in the sink and underneath it.
Baffled a bit by outside toilet beside washing up sink . Not sure if that was the ‘chemical toilet’ .

A aimé Great wee site. Lovely views over the water and a lovely cafe on site.

N'a pas aimé Entrance into site was really busy,
Challenging with a tourer caravan.
Open fires are allowed on site and although this is a bonus for some, we felt we were being smoked out.

A aimé Very handy site with everything you need for a stopover.

N'a pas aimé The VERY noisy road, we only stayed for one night instead of two because of this.

A aimé Everything. The location, the staff, the facilities. The super dog friendliness.
I spent roughly 10 days here with my dog. We used it as a base to explore Ayrshire and we were not disappointed. You are so close to a great beach. You witness amazing sunsets and the other Campers were a good vibe.

N'a pas aimé Do bring ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones as on a main road. This wasn't a bother for me.

A aimé When we arrived and went to the reception we were greeted by a very nice girl who offered to show us around we had breakfast and lunch a few days at the tearoom on site it was not expensive and the food was great the dish washing facilities are basic but was always clean and tidy the site is in a good location for visiting places like Girvan and Ayr it is a dog friendly site the camping is split into 2 parts the small part and the large field

N'a pas aimé There is only one toilet block and it’s situated in the small camping area it would be better if there was a toilet block at the big camping area there are not a lot of lights at the place
