Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked: Beautiful spot. Lovely cafe and shop on site. Forest walks nearby
Disliked: No grey water disposal Path from tent camping to facilities runs right by camper van pitches so best to pitch accordingly as little campers running back and forth to toilet/playpark/cafe

Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked: Rustic type site with good facilities Including cafe and shop handy if your camping with pleasant staff. Particularly the solo traveller discount on campervan pitch which is hard to find elsewhere.
Disliked: Just a comment consider relocating campervan pitches to other end of field due to close proximity of trees in high winds. Also away from road and other users for privacy.

Bankings Field non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful setting surrounded by nature, generously-sized pitches, spotless facilities, peaceful campsite, great value, the park. The sheltered fire pit area was an absolute godsend in the mixed Scottish weather!
Disliked: We were on pitch K and it was a bit close to pitch J making it a bit awkward when outside tents but most of the time we had the campsite to ourselves so it was only a problem on one night.

Bankings Field non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Lovely site, helpful staff, lots of space on pitch, the views of the Lomond Hill is awesome. Lovely play park for kids and handy having the cafe and shop on site. The campsite is far enough away from the shop and cafe that it's peaceful. Fire pits allowed.
Disliked: Toilets are quite a walk away from the campsite
