Balkenna Caravan Park

Likte The setting with a view of the sea. Very helpful friendly staff.

Likte ikke It's rustic. Could have done with a tidy up and grass cut. Having said that it makes a good stopover site.

Likte View of Ailsa Craig.

Likte ikke Very uneven pitches not enough chocks for both directions. Electricity kept tripping even before a problem caravan came. Had to ring a bell for attention took a very long time to answer. Had to go into the cafe. Just a random small hilly eneven field. Not worth £29 per night.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We’re sorry the uneven ground and electrical problem affected your stay, and that you had to wait for assistance. Balkenna is a grass coastal campsite, but guests should still be helped to find the best level position and any hookup problem should be dealt with promptly. We are reinforcing those checks with the team and reviewing what levelling assistance is available. We’re glad you enjoyed the view of Ailsa Craig, although we’re sorry the rest of your stay did not meet expectations.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you very much for your lovely 10/10 review, Richard. We’re delighted the campsite suited your needs and that you enjoyed the tearoom, food and friendly staff. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Balkenna.

Likte Lovely small relaxed site, clean facilities with lovely powerful showers. Extra bonus is the cafe that serves great food. Short walk from a secluded beach

Likte ikke Road noise but we knew there would be some. Did feel a bit strange having to walk past people in the cafe on the way to and from the showers, would be nice to have access directly from the field.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you very much for your brilliant 10/10 review, David. We’re delighted you found the staff lovely, the café brilliant and the campsite clean. Balkenna’s open coastal setting can be exposed in the wind, so we appreciate you persevering with setting up. We hope to welcome you back again.

Likte Lovely wee camp site with a great tearoom that does an amazing breakfast. Staff were all very friendly and the facilities were excellent.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review, Paul. We’re glad you enjoyed the tearoom and the view, and pleased that you would stay again. Balkenna is in a peaceful rural coastal setting, which many guests enjoy, although we understand it can feel isolated if you are looking for nearby shops or attractions. We hope to welcome you back.

Likte The facilities. The customer service. The farm animals. The view. Access to other locations.

Likte ikke The noise from the road and a large, noisy, thoughtless group. I camp every weekend this time of year and this was by far the noisest campsite I've been to.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your fair comments and for rating our facilities, cleanliness and customer service so highly. We are very sorry that the road noise and, especially, the neighbouring group's behaviour spoiled your stay. The group was contacted after complaints, but the disturbance clearly went on too long. We have since strengthened our 11pm–8am quiet-hours wording, staff escalation and group-booking restrictions to reduce the chance of a repeat. We appreciate you raising this and are sorry we did not provide the peaceful stay you expected.
