Good for families

Very Expensive, not value for money and Dogs, Dogs and more Dogs!

Firstly the booking system! Trying to genuinely book a pitch in advance is a nightmare. If you are trying to plan ahead and book specific sites it’s almost impossible. Selfish club members will book up pitches weeks in advance then cancel at the last moment so leaving genuine members/bookers no availability. Site fees for Yellowcraig are now extortionate we paid £42/night. Very few pitches to choose from when we arrived at 13:00 and the ones available are very badly worn with large sections of “sand/soil” exposed. The family next to us had two very active dogs which are just allowed to run around and pester other campers and were never checked or tethered. The children of the same family decided to start digging the exposed / eroded sand from the grassed area at the end of the tarmac road section to make sand pies/castles and were never disciplined by the parents. So going back to the subject of dogs - it’s time the club started limiting the number of dogs on site - I suspect that dog numbers during our stay may have approached the same numbers as humans in site. One unit had 4 dogs! During our stay we never witnessed any site staff walking around checking what was going on and “policing” the site. The toilets although clean are badly in need of an upgrade and refit. At 13:00 daily and for the next hour or so it’s like the wacky races with people driving round and round the site frantically looking for a pitch. At one time we witnessed a caravan jam around the toilet block area and counted 6 units stuck as one caravan was unhitching and parking up. The system of booking in and being left to tour around the site to find a pitch is actually quite dangerous! So to sum up this site we were very disappointed and felt ripped off at £42/night for a worn out pitch with no other decent pitches available when we arrived. Not a good experience so we will not be back and will not be renewing our membership.
