Liked: Views were exquisite. Staff very friendly. Beautiful part of the country.
Town within walking distance.
Disliked: Felt like the pitches were on the small side. You could here your neighbours conversations.
Rubbish dump to the rear of pitches full of old wood.
It would have been nice to have some grass next to your pitch to sit out on.
Elsan was a hole in the ground next to static vans instead of near the touring pitches.

Liked: Really great site with fantastic views of the Irish sea and dunskey castle.
Shower block was clean and well maintained.
Great little walk into portpatrick along the coastal path
Disliked: Fresh water tap, grey waste and chemical waste weren't too close to the motorhome pitches. Located near the touring caravan and static caravans as was the toilet/shower block.

Liked: The rugged coastline is wonderful and the walks around the area are amazing. The walk into Portpatrick takes about 20 minutes where you can encounter cliff birds nesting and a look around Dunskey castle. Portpatrick itself is a beautiful , chilled place to visit with loads of opportunities to have a nice lunch and possibly a drink or two. Castle bay site manager John and his team will go above and beyond to help you. I had a fuse blow in my motorhome on the first night and was without heating and lighting. John arrived first thing in the morning with a heater, a lamp and a replacement cable. A true legend.
