Garton Caravan Park

Gostou: Nothing to like here.

Não gostou: On entering the park we were met by no one whatsoever to tell us where to park or anything about the amenities. I was in the only Motorhome alert from 2 caravans whereas one was occupied by a 85 yr old blocked that’s in there all season he tells me whilst his dog is having a good shit behind our vehicle. The road noise is unbearable even through the night it’s still going on - couldn’t find a level pitch as your were either tipping over from one side to the other or the back of the van was half a foot higher than the front. Toilets and shower were a disgrace. Reading the reviews some say one night is more than enough- I say I’ll never go back even after one night.

Gostou: Very very friendly and helpful people at the site. If you get early, you pick the pitch. Not busy, no screaming kids. 3 toilets, 2 with showers that were spotless, the 3rd toilet was full of wildlife, brilliant. An easy 15 min walk to the village with plenty of shops and a pub. Barbecues allowed. Bus service into Ayr.

Não gostou: Tight entrance to site and not well marked. Unlevel and muddy pitches. The decent pitches were shaded by trees and therefore got no sun. Pricey for what you are getting.

Gostou: Small site located 3 miles east of Ayr and ideally located for our visit to the International Air Show. Pitches are small and are not level. The main road can be busy at times and traffic noise can be heard but this did not bother us. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There is no light pollution around the sight so ideal for star gazing.

Não gostou: Small sign at the entrance could be mistaken for a house for sale sign and not a caravan park. I had read the reviews before arriving so knew what to look out for. Quite a steep incline to the site and to get to the pitches with your caravan. Pitches need tidying up, cans, tea bags and burned wood left from previous guests and weeds removed. We decided not to use the site facilities as the reviews were poor so I am unable to comment. With a bit more tlc this has the potential to be a super small site.

Gostou: This site is good for a one night stay. The road is quite close to the site and is quite noisy if you are sitting outside, it didn't disturb our sleep though.

Não gostou: The price is a bit steep for what facilities are offered. There is only one toilet and shower for the whole site which meant we had to wait most times to use the facilities and the washing up area reminds me a bit of scout camp - a porter cabin with one sink and quite a few spiders. There were no instructions sent or on site on how to check in and I had to go and ask one of the other guests what to do as it wasn't clear where to park or what pitch we should have been on. I understand that this site is having work done to it, but I think until these are completed you should rethink the price of the pitches.

Gostou: This site is good for one night stop overs but not longer. It’s small and basic and a little steep in price comparison to other sites of a similar profile. There is one toilet with a shower inside, it was clean but if it’s occupied and you need the loo - you’re in for a wait. It would have been nice to be greeted by someone on arrival but I appreciate we checked in at 8pm. The forest surroundings and nice and the location for Ayr is good!

Não gostou: Lack of toilets

Gostou: As mentioned on a previous review its a work in progress site. Could be a nice site pub,chippy and cafe just a short walk away

Não gostou: No management on site.Turned up and no one around luckily an older gentleman who was staying there told us to park up anywhere. While we was there another Lady turned up without booking and the older gentleman help her out also he should be getting paid by the site. Toilets aren't very good drains blocked .

Gostou: Lovely campsite, within nature yet very close to local shops etc if needed in walking distance. There is a road nearby, but it fades after settling in. Good amenities.

Não gostou: Just the road but really isn't an issue

Não gostou: We were meant to be staying at Garton Caravan Park on the 17th but chose to leave shortly after arrival due to the following reasons. We initially struggled to find the park due to the lack of signs and had to pass by numerous times. Once we found the park we couldn’t find anywhere to check in or anyone to speak to regarding our booking and the camps facilities etc. We chose a plot which had the least camber but our van was still not level. This, along with the loud traffic noise, would’ve impacted our sleep. The toilet and shower facilities lacked amenities. There was no toilet roll in either cabin or anywhere to dry our hands. I understand the park was recently taken over, however, I do not believe our stay would’ve been worth £30 even if we stayed. Owner said we would be refunded minus our booking fee but has not sent the money
