Likte Quite attractive
Okay for a night

Likte ikke Feels a bit lacking somehow. We were looking to go for a walk but found it difficult because the main road leading to the site is busy and has no pavements.

Likte Nice enough site, pub onsite (old fashioned but friendly and cheap)

Likte ikke Washing machine swallowed our coins. Site is more tatty than the website suggests.

Likte Can’t comment as we were unable to get access codes.

Likte ikke We booked and paid for a Motorhome pitch in advance but when we arrived the reception was closed. As instructed we called the number on the door - three times over the course of the afternoon - but no answer or reply to our voice messages so we had no access codes and had to move on and find another campsite late in the day

Likte Nothing to add

Likte ikke Checking in process was not useful, called the number and received no reply, ended up leaving the site after waiting for some time for a response, owner contacted us and advised would look at refunding but never received anything, if no one is going to be at reception then at least return the call/voicemail to advise what to do next, this was our first time visiting and was rather disappointed with lack of service.

Likte A nice area of Scotland but site did not meet expectations

Likte ikke We arrived on site at 3.30pm on New Years Eve 2025 and the site looked deserted. Reception was closed with a contact number on the door. We tried the contact number with no success and left a message and up to now (more than 5 days later) no-one has responded.
We spoke to a lady in another caravan who said they had experienced the same and had parked their caravan on a pitch but told us to search for a working electric point as most were not working. The very kind lady also gave us the code for the shower block. We hooked up and got settled and the electricity went off. All campers were frustrated and we had to fumble in the dark to find another electric point that was working and move pitches. There was no-one in authority on site to ask anything nor to support when the electric went down.
In the morning we both used the shower block, toilets were leaking and water all over the floor, showers were dirty and had not been cleaned.
We had been trekking Scotland and stayed in various campsites but Barry Downs Park was worse by a long way and would definitely NOT stay here again.
The experience has left me really disappointed. We have used Pitch-up many times and have not had any issues. I have now lost confidence in Pitch Up as this campsite was way below the expected standards.
We later learned that the owner was on holiday in Spain and quite clearly had not made any provision in his absence.
Shocking treatment and shocking quality so would not recommend to anyone.

Likte I like to try and give positive reviews but this is a bit of a struggle. Site was clean and tidy. Lady in reception who greeted us was very friendly.

Likte ikke Set our caravan up plugged into electric not working told by another camper not working since they got there. Informed reception who wasn't aware. Managed to reach another electric outlet. Another camper arrived reception was closed they tried to use same electric so we advised them. No one in reception and no one answer on mobile number on window so told them the codes for the bathrooms. Late afternoon power went off, effected about 10 of us, once again no one answered the mobile number left. Had to walk round the site to find working electric then it was dog eat dog to get our caravan moved before someone else got there. Quickest we have ever moved our caravan. Then set about helping 3 other campers move their vans as it was now dark. Still no contact from owner which we found out was on holiday in Spain!! Finally got sorted then receive a text at 6pm with the bathroom codes and informed they are trying to contact electrician on new years eve.
Morning after decided to have a shower, very run down and only Luke warm watee, no where to leave clothes so had to put them on the floor outside the door. Bathrooms by now were dirty.
