#6 electric optional grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked: Friendly welcome from Ray. Who showed us to our parking spot and where we would be spending the next few days. The pitches for camping are located up a small incline all surrounded by handmade fences, very private and plenty of space between. Our pitch was 6 which had its own outdoor shelter and fire pit, our tent is large and it fit with ease and plenty of space to position. Logs are available to buy very reasonably priced for a large bag. Eggs also available (depends on the Chickens) pizza oven is a must.
The facilities are kept very clean and tidy, with plenty of back up cups, corkscrews etc to borrow, fridge and freezer, kettle and power banks. One shower which again is spacious and clean, 2 toilets one that is accessible.
Ray is very helpful with visiting and touring the area, a very good host.
The site only has 10 pitches which is perfect for a quiet and chilled get-away, the peninsula is absolutely stunning to visit.
The Tor closeby is a very short walk up to, with spectacular views across the valley. But only 20 mins up the road is the Corsewell Lighthouse. 30 mins to the South is The Mull of Galloway lighthouse and tea room. Logan Botanical gardens are easy to do in the same day, the Gardens are wonderful.
Glasgow or Dumfries are a 2hr drive, Ayr is an hour up the road, Stranraer is only 10 mins away with loads of take away options, supermarkets and restaurants.
This site is wonderful for visiting the peninsula or adventuring further.

#4 electric optional hardstanding campervan pitch (small)
Liked: Welcomed on arrival and given all the information for site and places to see nearby. The site is very well maintained and just the right size for a peaceful break. Facilities are basic but clean and there to use without any additional hassle or costs. I had my puppy with me and was able to walk around the site. The site is on a road with no footway so this was a bonus.
Disliked: You need to drive to go anywhere. It’s not one for walking to the local. To be honest, not even sure there was a local within driving distance.
The west coast of Scotland is like going back in time. Don’t expect pretty seaside towns with good coffee and artisan bread. Everywhere is bacon rolls and burger and chips from a greasy cafe.

Liked: Facilities were good and they even had a fridge for campers. Pretty camping spots without car access.
Disliked: If you are going to arrive later than you thought please phone Victor as he really does get upset, not concerned, upset.
