Barry Downs Park

Tyckte om: - Lots of space.
- Clean, warm and ample toilets/ showers.
- Hot and cold water.
- Quiet location but accessible to Monifieth and Carnoustie and bus stops are at the entrance to the site.
- Onsite bar is great and open from 1800 - but closed on Mon and Tuesday

Tyckte inte om: No manned reception and no advance information provided. Just arrive and pitch-up anywhere. Fortunately the toilet/ shower block door was unlocked, but it does have a keypad. The phone number for the site does not work.

Tyckte om: Open all year

Tyckte inte om: Power supply, kept tripping out and almost convinced me there was an issue with the fridge and microwave

The extortionate rate charged for a dog, we have two and the bill for them equally a quarter of our last nights costs 25%. This wouldn't be so bad if there were provision for the dogs as is the case at Glen Nevis for example and they make no charge for pets.

Tyckte inte om: Power supply kept tripping out.
We had to run our fridge and heating on gas.
Power supply so poor we that the microwave would not heat food in fact we initially thought the microwave was no longer working and were on the point of buying a replacement.
Cost charged for accompanying pets particularly when there is no provision made for them like an exercise area.

Tyckte om: Nice flat pitches

Tyckte inte om: No one to speak to, called reception but the number didn’t work. Didn’t realise you just chose any pitch. It’s completely unregulated, technically anyone could just rock up and park without even paying. Washing up area taps at sink didn’t work, had to wash dishes in the bathroom. Didn’t feel safe. Convenient stop over but would definitely not recommend, no one is friendly, just a weird place.

Tyckte om: Nice big, flat pitch.

Tyckte inte om: Stayed on 2 jan - we do appreciate not many places are open but don’t take the booking if you aren’t prepared to provide info/facilities. Arrived 3.30pm and reception was closed. Called the number on the door to be told to find a free pitch and ask someone for the code for the ladies shower block as he didn’t know! (mens was open). There was a row of outside ladies toilets behind the shower block, these were open but toilets only, no sinks.

The park was quiet, not many people around to ask. First couple didn’t know. Asked someone in the gym, she said she wasn’t allowed to give out the code. I emailed and luckily got a quick reply.

Perhaps an email with this info would be a good idea, I believe this park is new to Pitch-Up. Just to mention - there’s no drive over for disposing of grey water. I asked at reception the next morning and she suggested a bucket which we don’t have but as it was only one night not a huge problem for us. Also the (single) water tap has a short hose attached and nowhere to drive nearby so impossible for us to top up our fresh water tank. These 2 things would probably put us off going again.

There’s a restaurant/bar on site but we didn’t use it. Shower block is okay, the lock doesn’t work on one of the toilet doors, we didn’t use the showers so can’t comment on how they are. Don’t think there was any Wi-Fi, I couldn’t find any option to log in.
