Reviewer: Heleng 5 reviews from this member

 We arrived early as I hadn’t read email properly but instead of being turned away like on a Club campsite we were greeted warmly, given a better pitch than the one we had selected and didn’t demand a deposit for the toilet key (as I didn’t have purse on me). Now that’s what I call customer service!

A lot of statics but vans can go up on grass pitches ( which are actually on tarmac with grass by side) and you have beautiful views looking over Dunskey castle and the sea. Here, you are warned that 3 minutes to toilet block but I’ve walked further other places and this is no big deal.

If you opt for hardstanding pitch, you are down by toilets and no view.

Toilet blocks surprisingly small and shower a bit cramped for keeping clothes dry, but given site is mainly statics, only a couple of us seemed to be using the toilets and kept nice and clean without crazy closures for cleaning at peak times.

All interactions with staff a delight.

Lovely walk along coastal path to Port Patrick. Port Patrick itself surprisingly lacking in open cafes

 Lovely views out to sea and across to Ireland.

A friendly welcome to a very well kept site.

Lots of static vans but we had uninterrupted sea views.

Lovely showers, though the sensors for the lights were a bit abrupt!

A nice walk along the coast path to the pretty village of Portpatrick (good pubs).

Very helpful lady on reception lent us an EHU extension lead!

 Enjoyed our stay inspite of poor weather.

Excellent clean toilets and showers and dish washing area with really hot water.

Loved Portpatrick. There is a path you can walk down to the village from the campsite.

Reviewer: Dixonmeister 6 reviews from this member

 The site offers great pitches - level hard standing with grass all around. Pitches are very well spaced out to allow privacy and they offer a bit of a view.

The location is great, as you are about a 10 minute scenic coastal walk to Port Patrick (3/4 of a mile) or turn left and walk for miles along the Galloway coast. Also, right across from the campsite entrance is a bar/restaurant.

Toilet and shower facilities are great, plentiful and clean, and under utililised due to 90% of the site being holiday homes.

The only negative is that the toilets are a solid 3 minute walk (each way) from the pitches.

Reviewer: Oldnasty 18 reviews from this member

 Great site, spotlessly clean with great views from the cliff top pitches.

My only criticism is that the toilet block is about a three minute walk from the touring pitches with the toilet and grey waste being even farther away.

This however will not deter me from returning.

 Very welcoming, to a wonderfully open picturesque site.

Great views from our pitch. Very nice walk along coastal path to the town which has good eateries and bars.

The site grounds reminded me of hobbit land! Some pitches were elevated and some were low level.

Tha whole place was well manicured with short grass, and plenty of plants and flowers.

Will be back.

Oh!

The wardens very friendly!

 Excellent well maintained site. Facilities first class though not sure about the piped music. We were on a hard standing mostly because the grass pitches were very wet. Plenty of room between pitches and a superb cliff top walk into Portpatrick. Staff very friendly and helpful. Originally booked for three nights but extended to a fourth. No criticism but a couple of observations. Could do with a shelf or a stool in the shower cubicles and the motor home waste water point could be better orientated to avoid blocking the road when emptying.

Would definitely recommend and will no doubt return.

 We bought our caravan back in December and decide we would have a 'try it out' weekend. We came to the Galloway point. The owners were very welcoming, very pleasant and helpful.

The shower block was very clean and tidy. The kids loved the park. There is a games room too but unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use it. Lovely little pub across the road too for meals. I also noticed they offer a breakfast munchie box!' Sounds lovely but we didn't try.

Beautiful location. Our first experience has way exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to return.

Thank you for making our first caravan experience a pleasant one to remember.

 Cant disagree with the other reviews, an excellent site and location and toilets far better than the toilets in castle bay. Nice clifftop walk to portpatrick where you can enjoy a meal or a drink among friendly locals. Lydl shop not to far of if some shopping required. Wont be long till I get back down to galloway point. Personally I cant fault it at all and worth a visit if touring scotland, don't forget your camera!

 Spent a couple of nights here. On arrival, a very pleasant welcome at reception and everything that needed explained was done. Easy to find, just turn left as you enter the village, just past the big village map. Go up the hill and about a half mile ahead. There are another couple of sites up there as well.

This is a big site, with mostly static mobile homes. The pitches for the tourers / motorhomes etc are at the far end, near to the cliff top. So a pretty good place to be.

A nice cliff top stroll down into the village. Also, a good walk along the cliff top, in the other direction. Really good for dog walks.

There is a play area for kids, as well as a small games room next to the toilet block.

Had a mixture of weather, so when it was raining, no choice, but to get wet. But when the sun was shining, this was fabulous location.

There is a good toilet block, which needs a key to access. Get that key at reception, for £5 deposit, which you get back when returning the key.

Only minor issue is the location of the toilet / shower block in relation to the touring pitches. A little bit of a walk, so could be an issue if mobility problems.

Portpatrick is a lovely village, so enough to do if you don't intend to drive anywhere.

All in all a pretty god site in a great location, with very friendly and helpful staff.

Would recommend.
