Needs new toilet block!
Staff friendly, site kept clean and tidy and good location for walking in to Ayr. However, whilst the facilities block is adequate, it is old and tired and needs refurbishing especially as the fee here is more than other CAMC sites, so value for money not as good.

Probably the best wardens we have encountered
Small site, all hard standing. Nice links to walks from the site. Wardens are exceptional, super friendly, helpful and very hardworking. The site is immaculate! Shower block is tired and in need of refurb, but that’s up to the Caravan Club to spend some of the money they earn. Regardless, the wardens... Show more

Great wee site
Great site and great location to Ayr. Stay at this site regularly and always enjoy my stay. Only negative comment is the dish washing area isn't great, struggled to get tap on and also water not warm with a screeching sound. Can't comment if its good for families.
