Glen Trothy Caravan Park

Mi è piaciuto Site warden was friendly and helpful, great location for visiting the town.

Non mi è piaciuto We didn’t end up staying the night as the kids wanted to go home after a week touring! But, the shower blocks weren’t particularly clean, the site has lots of security, gates, barriers and rising/lowering bollards which actually had the adverse effect for us, we felt that there may have been historic problems, not fact, just our assumption. The pitches were of a decent size but seemed unkept with broken slabs and uneven ground.

Mi è piaciuto Quiet location - we were at the back of the field.
Park onsite
Another bigger park with large field for dogs less than 5 minute walk away
Good facilities - clean toilets, hot shower (20p for 4 minutes), laundry, dishwasher room
Management are friendly and easy to contact

Mi è piaciuto The lady at reception was friendly.

Non mi è piaciuto The toilets sink and showers were very dirty
You have to pay to use the showers one unit took £1 and didn’t even work, you cannot change the water temperature and it was so hot the kids couldn’t use them.
There was lots of dog mess on the site.
Clearly long term residents staying there.
The language throughout the site at all hours definitely wasn’t suitable for young children.
There are dogs in kennels around the site constantly barking and being told to shut up, all look very neglected and uncared for.
It was upsetting staying there.
Also there were young kids wondering around the site unsupervised at all hours including two 2 year olds at 9:30pm alone in the toilet block.
The child’s park was full of rubbish and old vapes.
Wouldn’t recommend visiting the site.

Mi è piaciuto 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.

Non mi è piaciuto 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.

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

Non mi è piaciuto Nothing.

Mi è piaciuto Level pitches with plenty of room.

Non mi è piaciuto 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.
