What customers say
This friendly, family-run farm campsite has a relaxed vibe in beautiful country settings, a short drive from Largs. Guests loved the clean, modern facilities and meeting the farm animals, a hit with kids. The food truck was a popular perk. While reviews were mostly great, some found spotty cell service and noted occasional issues with site assignments or bathroom cleanliness when busy.

We liked all the farm animals…
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked We liked all the farm animals especially the goats - all used to human company. This is a working farm, so one must expect a little dirt but there needs to be a dedicated cleaning team for the toilets and shower areas to get the underlying areas clean. The grass pitch areas were very nice and grass well tended and staff were nice and friendly.
Disliked We didn't like the motorhome area which is where we were, with it's large 35mm gravel. This was black and broken down by the motorhomes driving over it making it very dirty and not easy to walk on...had to bath the dog when we got home!
The farm is well out of Largs and one would certainly need some transport to get into town.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Location nice, farm animals wandering freely are enjoyed by the children.
Disliked All pitches are on a hill, we couldn't get remotely level even with the blocks under our motorhome wheels.
Toilets/showers were filthy - giving the impression they hadn't been properly cleaned for the whole season. We've been travelling around Scotland since July and these are by far the dirtiest facilities we've seen.
Shame, because this place has potential to be a nice little site.

All in all we enjoyed our stay and the owners were very nice.
Powered grass tent campsite (small)
Liked lovely, family friendly run farm. Nice flat pitches and pretty much all of them have electric points. About 2.5 miles from the closest town which has free parking in certain places. Fires and BBQ’s are allowed and I think you can rent one if you don’t have.
They have a little food place there which I think only runs on Friday through to Sunday. The brisket and haggis tacos were stunning and you get two big ones for £8 which I personally thought were great value for money. However, the monkfish curry isn’t quite what it says, if you like fries drowned in chip shop curry sauce with two quite nice lumps of monkfish placed on top then that dish is for you.
We stayed for 3 nights and we found it very pleasant. We probably wouldn’t go back again as there’s plenty more about but we did throughly enjoy our stay. Very good value for money!!
Disliked The showers and toilets aren’t the cleanest. They properly were 2 years ago but aren’t really kept up. The toilet door is kept open all night so the amount of flies and creatures in there make it feel dirty. The lovely goats are in the toilets eating all the tissue out the bin which can’t be good for them but the cleaner thought it was funny. I found it very odd.

Liked Loved our stay, beautiful area and can’t fault a thing. Owners lovely and beyond happy to help with anything. Even when really busy the atmosphere was brilliant, was really sad to be leaving. Will 100% book another stay, would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area- brilliant location which so much to do.
Particularly loved all the animals around.
Food cart on there was amazing, we didn’t know what to do for tea as we had a long day out so decided to use the onsite facility, and the food was lovely.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.
