 Wonderful location.
Grounds were very well maintained and the toilet and shower facilities were the best I’ve seen recently.
Lovely breeze kept the lovely midge away during our stay.
Unfortunately no shop on site or in Machrihanish so stock up locally in Campbeltown Supermarket. There is one on the way into the town from Tarbert.
Enjoy

The staff were all excellent, extremely helpful and friendly. They work extremely hard and keep the 8 toilet / shower rooms very clean (even when the site was busy for the MOK run. ) Buses good into Campbeltown, just flag down from entrance to site.
Quite exposed so can get windy but good for keeping midges at bay. Walking distance to 2 pubs and famous local golf course. Some new hard standings and a small shop with basics.
Free wifi for 2 hours a day.

Lovely site with views across to the islands. The site owners were very friendly and helpful.
The toilet facilities consisted of separate cubicles with a toilet sink and shower and were very clean.
The reception stocked a good variety of groceries and the nearby town of Campbeltown has a Co-Op and a Tesco.

This site is about as far south that you can get in Argyll. There are some new hard standings being put in.
The best bits are the views across to the islands and the first class toilet facilities.
Individual shower / toilet/ wash basins rooms to the highest standards. If you are a golfer I would recommend packing your clubs as there is the Macrihanish Golf Club within 200 metres.
There are a couple of eateries nearby one of which offers a discount if you mention you are at the site.
Yes it maybe a long drive down there but the Scottish countryside is a wonder.

I stayed here for an event with friends and we had one of their brand new statics designed for six people comprising a double e/s and two twins plus separate shower, wash-basin and loo.
The twins are a bit cramped! The kitchen area was fine, although could be a bit better equipped; lounge area fine and you can just fit six around the table. Bedding and towels provided. You can adjust the heating and the hot water supply was good. There's also a good fridge and freezer.
The site entrance is not prepossessing though the horrendous potholes encountered in previous visits have been filled in. The friendliness and helpfulness of the wardens, though, is amongst the best I've ever experienced.
We did feel the cost for a three night hire was a bit steep, but clearly they've been investing in the site (did spot a new loo block for campers) and have to get some revenue in.
Although this part of Kintyre is a long haul for many, if you take time to do your research, there's plenty to see. I don't do golf, but the site's next door to Machrihanish golf course. You can have an amazing walk to the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse and views over to Northern Ireland and north-west to Islay, Gigha and Jura.
There's boat trips and surfing, Davaar Island and South End plus the east coast up towards Carradale is very different. Scenery is great and, from someone interested in geology, it's fascinating.
There's a visitor information centre on the pier at Campbeltown, with adjacent parking. The site is also almost adjacent to Machrihanish airport, which was one of the alternative landing sites in an emergency for the Space Shuttle.
You aren't allowed on it and the airport is now only used by small domestic scheduled flights but you can catch a glimpse of it if you take the Wind Towers single track road. No parking mind!
Plenty of takeaways, a decent Co-op in Campbeltown and fuel prices are roughly average for this part of the world. The Nineteenth Hole pub is about half a mile down the road from the site and in three years, I've never had a poor meal - it's reasonably priced but book it.

This site has puzzling topography until you realise it is built on the site of a disused coal mine. At least that's what a local guy told me. Anyway, you can't tell; it's a very pleasant location.
The best touring pitches are on a bit of high ground on the left at the back as you go in. They are extremely spacious and have a decent view. However they're a long way from the office where the wifi antenna is, so we found the wifi signal very weak. It worked on the laptop but hardly at all on the phones.
There's a lovely new toilet block, built in a mobile unit with a veranda for access. There are steps upto this veranda which means that the disabled who can't manage four steps up have to use the disabled facility, which is much inferior.
I had cause to ring the mobile number at 8pm ('We always answer') but there was in fact no answer
The tap I used was the domestic chrome type with no thread to take a hose connection. This is annoying when you fill using a hose. I have one of the 'fit anything' rubber fitments but it kept slipping off. Proper outdoor taps would be nice.

The site has a rather tatty entrance, but the warden came very quickly and was very friendly and helpful.
He suggested a pitch with a view and we settled in. The most noticeable aspect of the site was the overwhelming smell of cow manure which permeated everything including the inside of the van. The site is quite exposed as the land around is flat so it can be quite windy.
The toilet block is new and has 6 cabins each of which has a shower, toilet and wash basin. I tried the shower in the morning and found it unsatisfactory for the following reasons: You have to press a button every 10 seconds to get any water, the water ran hot and cold and the light in the cabin went off as soon as I entered the shower and stayed off. It was all very clean.
If you like to play golf then it is a very convenient site right next to the golf course. It wasn't of a standard that suits me so we moved on.

Spent two nights here in early October. Had a really nice time. Relatively small site, mostly for tourers, motorhomes and tents, but a number of statics and five pods.
Location is excellent, five miles from Campbelltown and a five minute walk from the small village of Machrihanish and the fabulous beach that goes for miles.
Very friendly staff. Great views over the golf course to the sea and the islands of Islay and Jura.
Only issues was the toilets / showers. Very functional, but could do with a bit of a revamp.
Regular buses go past the site, so if you want to head into Campbelltown, pretty easy.
Very enjoyably and relaxing stay.

Stayed here for 1 night in a motorhome, met by a very friendly warden who checked us in and showed us to our pitch which was overlooking the fields and sea,
Toilets and showers were OK, there must be more than one block as ours had 3 toilets and 2 showers and I think we're just for our field. Showers were huge if a bit chilly but once under the water were fine.
Had been recommended a tea shop in southport and the beach by the warden so visited in the afternoon, amazing cakes and carry on on the road passed another campsite and you will come to the most amazing sandy beach where we sat and watched Gannets diving for their lunch.
Utter silence at night so a good nights sleep was had. Would visit again.
