What about Culzean Castle C&CC site, it on the west coast of Scotland, but not to far over the border, it's near Ayr, it has excellent views over to Arran and the ayrshire coast, plus Culzean Castle is just next door, with excellent forest walks, and play areas for the kids, you only pay to enter the castle.
Wonderful site and amazing sunsets over towards Arran.
As for Culzean castle and grounds, you pay a bit to go into the grounds and a bit more to see the castle. But you can sneak into the grounds by taking the back road out of the site and walking. I'm not sure how much as we're members but had to show our cards at both places.
Good beaches. Galloway Forest park not too far away and great for cycling. Ayr not too far away and Girvan too.

Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!

Hi
If you are interested in the Culzean Castle CCC I would recommend Thomaston Farm CCC CS site. It's literally across the road from the CCC site but because it higher set higher up the hill, above the tree there are views-to-die for over the Firth of Clyde to the Ilse of Aran. The sunsets are INCREDIBLE. You can read my review of the site here - No 7
Owners Hugh and Fiona MacFadzean are a LOVELY couple and made us VERY welcome. That welcome included Hugh and their teenage sons coming out to help us set up when we were delayed and did not arrive until 9.00pm.
IMHO opinion BETTER than the CCC site and MUCH cheaper!!! We hope to return.
Another recommended area would be the Galloway region. Just across the border from England but lots of interesting places to visit and lots of lovely sites. I lived in that area for a couple of "gap" years in the mid-1970's and have returned many times since. Gentler landscape than further north but still lovely hill and coastal scenery.

Tim and Cary..does New England Bay CC now take tents? please say yes..
Whoops - No I'm sorry New England Bay CC Site does NOT take tents. I've just checked in the new, recently published, CC Sites Directory. I was sure that I had seen some there when we stayed a few years back. Sorry to mislead you.
The others that I mentioned in my previous posts definitely did, or at least did, when we were last there.
Sorry to have misled you.

Loch Earn Caravan Park is in Perthshire, making it easy to reach. It has beautiful Loch views, as it is right on the water. There is fishing, great walks and children's play areas. The shop is well stocked and staff are friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and welcoming. Comrie has a great wildlife centre - just 6 miles away for children. This is one of my favourite sites in Scotland.

We stayed there a few times when we had the caravan and loved it, total peace and quiet. Would love to go with the tent.
I think the CC only allows tents on a few of the less busy sights and usually a small tent althoughI think there are a couple that take larger tents.
Not sure if hookup is available for tents.
