Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked A great check in with a full run down of faciltites, guidance to pitch etc.
Location, peaceful as darkness fell upon the park. Kids feeling free to be able to play and run around was good.
Showers and toilets were clean, plenty of hot water available.
Disliked The use of powered vehicles. The vast number of kids that were seen to be riding powered electric scooters and bikes was vast. This included a couple of lads that appeared to be doing wheelies all around the roads.
At check in there were no instructions from the park relating to the use of or restrictions preventing the use of.
The question therefore is, in the event of incident, who would be liable?
It may also be an idea on opening the office to have a person check the toilets, or in particular the toiley rolls situation. All cubicles were devoid of toilet paper at 0900.
Pitches are at an angle, blocks needed to level the motorhome, nothing too major though.

Liked Tidy site, clean toilets, etc.
Disliked Pitch was on a slight slope, the cost of electricity was in addition to the pitch price, which can be costly in comparison with other sites in the area.
Was not impressed with the food served in the restaurant, a bit basic, not good value.

Brilliant site...staff go above and beyond to help.
Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Absolutely stunning site, large pitches with plenty of room between each one not over crowed
Lovely little play area for children.
Spotlessly clean toilets and shower rooms. Temperature of showers was amazing
Place to empty waste water and cassette toilets
Plenty of places to refill tanks
Plenty of trails through the woods that kids and adults would love to explore.
There's a laundry room with ironing board.
On site shop sells the basics.
Staff could have been more kind and helpful.
There are also onsite pods to hire
Disliked Nothing to do with the site but the road into the site from the motorway is good but if you wanted to go to say Annan or Lockerbie the roads are single lane and horrific with pot holes but if you take your time are manageable.

Lovely place, good facilities, friendly staff, something for everyone
Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Good sized pitch well spaced out between pitches - this kept it quiet but equally friendly and sociable.
Fab walks around the site, beautiful woodland and views, wonderful history.
All quiet by 11 pm around the Tourer pitches.
Disliked Quite a bit of noise from Tent field as they had some large groups, children play behind the motorhome pitches which can be heard but not a nuisance and fab to hear children enjoying the outside.

Lovely site, attractive, protected, great location, great facilities.
Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The surroundings were beautiful and felt very protected in the castle grounds. Great facilities and amazing showers which always make all the difference to a campsite as far as I'm concerned! The park was a good addition, as was the crazy golf and games room. The pizza place and bar in the courtyard was great too. Very reasonably priced site and felt luxurious.
Disliked The electricity top-up system was a bit of a faff, I think I'd rather just pay a bit more for an electric pitch and just plug in.
The gardeners were noisy in the morning which was a shame as it was peaceful otherwise but I suppose it has to be done sometime!
