 Six of us, all adult males, stayed there in two tents overnight on 12th August 2013. The tent field overlooked the beach and was immaculately groomed. The two toilet blocks available were dated but very clean with plenty of hot water. Altogether there were four toilets and four showers, quite adequate for the number of people camping. We were made most welcome. There was a children's playground with quite a few climbs and swings etc. The nearest supermarket is 14 miles away in Stranraer although there is a newsagents in one mile away in Sandhead. The site has it's own pub which has last orders at 11. 30pm so the site is quiet from midnight. We will be back next year. This is a great site to use as a centre for sea fishing and/or visiting nearby gardens open to the public. This is generally a quiet site and is good for peace and quiet. The site has it's own cafe which serves a hearty breakfast. We paid £18 per pitch per night with no facilities which we thought not too bad for the time of year.

The park is right on the most fantastic sandy beach!
If you like the beach you'll love it.
Stranraer and port patrick and short drives away and worth a visit.
We really enjoyed our stay.
We stayed in a static caravan but the camping facilities looked clean and the showers were free and powerful.
We had a picnic on the beach and had the most relaxing time.
The site was quiet and the caravan owners wee friendly. We are a group of female friends, enjoying a relaxing trip to the beach.
Would recommend for families, couples or anyone wanting to explore the coast.

This campsite is right on the beach and our pitch had a fantastic view of the bay. The owners were very friendly and keen to answer any questions.
The female showers were always clean although my husband regularly complained about the state of the male toilets. Also they were cleaned between 8pm and 9pm, which we found really inconvenient.
The play park was fantastic and was right next to the touring pitches which was handy, although in the evenings it became very noisy with a lot of children and teenagers hanging out in the park until late.
The beach is only a few minutes walk away and was always very quiet and great for walks.
There was no shop which was a shame considering the size of the site.

Pros - Camping field is great wide open space pitch where you like. Very neat grass easy to put in pegs. Near enough to the toilets. Very near the safe beach and what a beach! Clean, safe and miles of it.
Very friendly staff on site and the people from the statics were great when one of our cars refused to start when we had only just arrived.
Bar on site which we didn't go to. The nearest shop is a short walk along the beach. The nearest supermarket is Morrisons in Stranraer which is an easy 6 mile drive.
Cons - Toilets/Showers. Only cleaned at about 8pm at night. So no toilet paper from about lunchtime. The sanitary bins were not emptied one night so were left for a full 24hrs. Not many showers for the size of the site.
Toilet area became very dirty by 8pm. The camping field is right next to the kids play park which after 8pm is full of 11-15 year olds running about and screaming groups of girls and boys, some of the language was choice.
The site says no noise after 10. 30pm maybe someone needs to patrol the site just after that. Some very inconsiderate campers who insisted on playing loud music from inside a van then talking loudly over it.

Arrived at the site just after tea-time to find no one about. After calling the number on the reception window, was finally answered after the 14th time. Was told to pitch up and settle the next day, and given the code for the toilet blocks to be used by 'tenters'.
The field used for tents is huge, which is great, but is very open to the elements, and the wind can whip up a right storm. We went out one day to find that our tent was completely flat, struggled to get it back together and ended up using duct tape and a windbreaker pole, and washing line to keep it up for the next couple of nights!
The play area is a decent size with plenty of climbing frames etc to keep the kids entertained for a while
Toilets and shower block are clean and tidy. Free showers, although you have to keep pressing for more hot water - lasts about 10-15 seconds, I think.
Washing up are was covered, 2 sinks, bit of a queue sometimes.
Clean water facility was right next to the garbage bins. And both sets of bins I saw did become quite full at one point, although they were cleared.
Laundry is no where near the tent site. Although had no problems with queueing when I located it. The shower block next to it is bigger and better, with a free hairdryer!
Can't comment on the cafe as we never used it, in fact it was closed early day as no stock
All in all this site does seem somewhat geared more for those in their statics or caravans/motorhomes etc, rather than the tents. The amenities for tents is very very basic. A hairdryer in the shower block and maybe a freezer for freezerblocks would be a good idea.
If you do go here and camp in the tent field, do not go nearest the beach access - that is where it is really windy!

Very friendly & helpful staff, they couldn't do enough to help(even giving kids homemade cookies for journey home!). Toilet block was spotless, plenty of hot water.
Good laundry. Games room for kids(thankfully not always open, major plus!).
Excellent cafe, think it had just opened that season. On site pub provides evening entertainment including kids things (major plus), also they had a weekly bbq which was really good.
Couple of minutes drive into village of Sandhead is a nice hotel for a proper meal!For shopping Stranraer isn't far away.
Only minus is no shop.

This was a great site and we were made very welcome, nothing was too much bother I took my son of eight on my own and got help to park and set up even loaned me a longer hook-up cable as mine was to short to park with a sea view.
The toilets and showers were really clean, and a nice play park for my son. The beach is lovely and clean.
We will be going back again.

Visited this campsite on the 18th August 2009.The site is situated right on the beach which is lovely however the weather wasn't on our side it was very windy and the field that is used for camping is very open, there is no sheltered areas unless you have electric hook up.
The toilet blocks were clean the only one complaint I have is that they are closed for cleaning between 8am - 9am not good if you wake up at 8am and really need to go, there are other toilet blocks but they are a good 5 minutes walk across the other side of the campsite.
Another downside to this site is that the games room and the laundry room are all locked up at 5pm.

Great site, situated next to beach you can launch your boats from beach lots to do,games room, cafe, on site bar. Kids that go most summer very friendly with visitors my kids loved it they made our stay easier. There is a disco for kids once a week, there is various things to do but you have to travel, pitches are gone quickly, book in advance or pitch can be not greatly situated, ours a bit uneven but last minute.Friendly staff.

This site was lovely, right by the beach for the tourer pitches. The toilet units were close by and very clean - you got a key on arrival as they are kept locked - we put this on a string so the kids didn`t leave it - the showers were clean also with hot water available from 7a.M. Until 10p.M. The pot wash area was close by and the water hot and the chemical disposal beside it. The water points was next to where we pitched so was very handy.
We were mid week -Wednesday night until Sunday and it was quiet Wednesday & Thursday, but got a bit noisier Friday and Saturday as there is a pub on the site and there were a lot of tents over the weekend with many young people - many had brought small boats or jet skis for a tagging project for sharks in the bay (this was of great interest to the kids)
There was a small playpark right next to where we pitched, which the kids used well, the beach was about 100yards away with a vast amount of sand even at high tide and was very clean.
The only criticism I have is that there was hardly ever anyone in the reception area, a notice was posted with a mobile number if you needed help. When we arrived it was closed but we were directed to the tourers pitches by a site employee who just happened to be passing and informed us that someone would be along to see to our fees etc., we were nearly fully erected by the time they arrived.
The cost was £20 per night for us and our unit including hook up.
A 6 mile drive took us to Stranraer for supermarket shopping, the village 1 mile away had a small post office / village store for top up shopping.
The site had a small arcade which opened at the weekend and there is an advert up for a cafe opening soon for meals / snacks and takeaway food.
The lack of reception staff aside, I will return to this site as it was lovely - the beach clean and close to hand , the view lovely and the kids loved it - oh and there was an absence of midgies!
