We only stayed here for the one night and it was lovely. The pitch was hard standing which was just as well as the grass was soggy after a lot of rain. The toilets were clean and warm and the washbasins in individual lockable cubicles, the showers were in the castle and a bit too far from our pitch so didn't use them. We had a meal in the bar which is in the castle, steak and chips which was very nice and fairly priced, other people had a Sunday Roast which also looked good. There are lovely walks through the site and a beautiful golf course, the children's play area also looked good and I have given the child friendly rating based on this alone. A lovely quiet site.

The Park is set in the Castle grounds and surrounded by woodland and fields with highland cattle and sheep. The site was very large and ‘open plan’ which ensured that the Castle could be seen from most pitches. A one-way tarmacked road wound around the site in a circular fashion with tracks and gravelled pitches going off on either side.
The pitches are double width but electric hook-ups are shared between three.
Access to the toilets and showers is via a key issued on receipt of a (refundable) £10 deposit. The Ladies is in what looks like the old stables and the entrance feels a bit spooky but opens out into two large, light and spacious areas housing the toilets and showers. There are plenty of these and the whole place was squeaky clean. It was lovely to see historical and modern utilitarian features combined so sympathetically.
There are plenty of walks around the park and although the castle is not open to the public, the restaurant, bar, café and TV/Games room is incorporated into the building so you do get a feel for the place.
The wardens were very friendly and helpful and obviously have a passion for their work and for the castle.
We really loved this site, the only downside being the very long walk to the waste disposal point for our chemical toilet, and the shared hook-up.
We can thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Stayed here over Sept weekend. Normally tenters but owing to time of year opted for a 3 night stay in a Kelo lodge. Lodge was lovely, clean and warm as it has a wall affixed convector heater although still needed a fan heater for a boost. Lodges are in the same field as tents which was spacious and peaceful. Field was flat and next to an area where there was a lovely highland cow.
Toilet block warm and clean and accessed by a key. It was quiet when we attended and there are loads of showers and toilet cubicles. On site pub cosy, comfortable and the food was decent and reasonably priced. The lodges have a separate kitchen hut again accessed by a key for lodge users only. Clothes and dishwashing facilities really good too.
Loads to do nearby inc Mabie Farm Park where we spent a full sunny day again for a really reasonable price. Good playpark on site 2 min walk away from tent/pod field although there were a couple of cheeky unsupervised kids hanging about. Great site which we will visit again, hopefully in our tent. And the night sky is amazing!

Just returned from what can only be described as a relaxing weekend. This campsite has a very rural feel with all the mature trees and gardens. The pitches are all level hard standing and have plenty of room for awning and parking your car etc. The bars were warm and welcoming even to dogs. We didn't have food but it looked good. The toilet blocks were clean and all sinks were in private cubicles so you could get washed in private. The only let down was the placing of the only showers, We were pitched at the top of the hill and the only showers are at the bottom of the hill near the office which was a good 5 mins walk away.
There was no noise at all at night but we were not pitched near the park or bar. We wouldn't think twice about going again.

What a great site. Very friendly and helpful staff. Grounds were very well kept and coped well during some terrible weather. We never ate in the restaurant but I enjoyed a few pimms at the bar.
The toilet block at the castle has many toilets, adequate facilities. Few toilet seats need adjusting in the ladies.
The site has a park area for children, and my only gripe was the noise. I think a curfew should be imposed as it was annoying hearing kids with whistles blowing them loudly when we were trying to relax/sleep, other people had younger kids they were trying to get down.
We enjoyed the handcut chips at the take away - everyone raves about them - and they are good indeed.
Can't wait to go back.

We stayed for 3 nights in a tent. We are 2 adults and 2 children aged 2 and 4. Its a lovely setting. The people in charge were friendly and helpful. The chap walked over with me to show where we should pitch and gave me a little tour. The pitches are a good size with plenty of room for our large tent and car. The facilities are accessed via a key (I assume this is so that the golfers don't use them). They were really warm and a good size. There is a bathroom which you can get a key for although we didn't use it. The washing up facilities are adequate. The play area is a short walk from the tent area but really very good. Although my 4 year old did have to keep asking big kids to move out of the way of the slide as they were using it for a meeting place. We used the take away facility attached to the restaurant on site. It took some time for it to cook and wasn't the cheapest ever but tasted fine. My only criticism was the curfew or lack of. With 2 young children we could of done without other kids still running around our tent late at night. Otherwise a lovely site and we would definitely recommend it to others.
