Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Fiona W 260 reviews from this member

 Stayed here one night after the Senior Open Golf at Carnoustie (the 3 golf courses at Carnoustie are excellent). Can't fault the site or how it's run. Quiet. Very welcoming and helpful warden, dry humour. Immaculately tended grounds with bedding plant displays (it's a Council site). Spacious and spotlessly clean toilets & showers with lots of beautiful fresh flowers! The washrooms are far bigger than you'd expect, but it looks like the new primary school next door was built on part of the campsite. The big park with its play area and dog walking is through a gate that you get the key to. I'd have no hesitation recommending this site.

Reviewer: Laineymac 2 reviews from this member

 My husband and I have just returned from our second trip to Woodlands this season. Lovely once again!

Tbe wardens are very friendly and come across as enjoying what they do. If there's anything you need, they are right there with it.

Both are very hands on, giving a personal tour of the facilities and I've seen Bill on countless occasions out with his tools, giving people a hand with little setting up issues.

The toilets and wash up areas are spotless. I think the personal touches like lillies throughout the bathrooms, soaps at every wash station, local radio piping into the public areas make people feel at home and encourage them to leave the place as they have found it.

The area is also very nice. Right beside the site is a play park. We don't have any kids, but handy if you do. The town is just a 5 to 10 minute walk and there you will find ample supplies for your camping trip. At the shore front there is a beach, kids activity area and mini golf.

There's a Spar when you first hit the town and an excellent Co-op a bit further along. Check out the butcher - Irn Bru sausages and spicy burgers to die for! The flower shop also sells lush strawberries.

We really can't fault the place and will be returning next year.

 We arrived at Woodlands around 5pm in the evening. The Warden was very friendly with a sense of humour which is always a great way to be greeted.

We were shown around the facilities, provided with our key and then we went off to select our pitch. There was plenty of space to pitch the tent and the other guests were pleasant & friendly.

The toilets/showers were immaculate - each sink in the ladies had its own soap and fresh lillies on each main section. There is also music from the local radio which was a nice touch. In the dishwashing area there is a fridge / freezer, microwaves and a toaster for general use.

There is a games/tv room on site with a pool table for those rainy days. Its a bit dated but as there are a lot of caravans & motorhomes, generally only used by the tented community. Its fully functional though.

The site is a 10 minute walk from Carnoustie and brings you out at the Spar should you need any supplies. The Co-Op is only a few minutes further. If you want reasonably priced decent food, then I'd recommend The 19th Hole (next left after the Spar). Would definitely stay here again as it was very clean, friendly and at £14 per night reasonably priced.

There was no noise from the park as per the other reviews and the only negative thing I would say about our stay is that we should not have pitched the tent under the oak tree. A few pigeons around

Reviewer: Tharper97 4 reviews from this member

 Pretty much as has previously been said.

Good clean site - completely flat.

Toilets are a bit old but were warm, clean and tidy with lots of hot water. Small TV room with pool table kept the kids occupied for a while.

Gate to park adjacent to site is locked later at night but you are given a key to open it should you need to access it (walk the dog).

Personally I didn't think much of the town of Carnoustie itself. Visually it was looking a bit run down though there is a new play area down on the seafront which appeared suitable for younger children.

We used the site as a base to tour the East coast and did not use the towns facilities much other than to visit the coop for a bit of shopping.

Very good value at £17 / night in the high season. Would use again.

 We arrived on Friday late afternoon and managed to pitch up before it started raining. Nice level ground, but we did find by the weekend that we had a bit of a mud bath right outside the tent entrance. The kids play park is accessed through a side gate, which is locked around 9pm. The shower, toilet, dishwashing, laundry are all sited together, and although a wee bit dated, they are very well kept, nice and clean. There was some noise from local kids in the play park at night, but it wasn't too bad, and although it feels a bit strange to be camping next to a new housing estate, the site has a high wall and enough trees around for it not to be too obvious. A 10-15 walk takes you down to the beach and seafront with a fantastic new kids park,paddling pool and crazy golf which would suit all ages. The Carnoustie Chippy is a must if you fancy some fish n chips! Maybe not the most scenic site, but well worth a visit.

 A lovely warm welcome by the warden.

Toilet block, laundry, dish washing etc all spotlessly clean and well looked after. I love having music in the toilets although forgetting my key when I was desperate was not a good move! I never noticed if there was a park but as we were next door to one I hardly think it was needed.

A good walk to the shops and Carnoustie is perhaps what would be called, sleepy. The co-op was good enough for us so no complaints. Didn't visit a pub, sorry.

I loved picking my own pitch and having the extra benches around if need be. I had forgotten my BBQ stand and was given one to use which was much better than the one I had left at home! The pitches were flat and took the rain well.

Some noise during the night but it seemed to come from the park rather than the site. Some excellent male voices singing - no football songs.

We will be back

Reviewer: BOB-D 17 reviews from this member

 As said before this site is enclosed in a walled garden. The toilets and shower block were kept very clean. There is a spar and a co-op plus a few take aways in the town only 10min walk away. The site itself is quite and there is a play park attached to the site entrance via a locked gate, key given at reception on arrival. No shop on site. Not much more to be said as its all been said before. Will go back again, only £17 a night for everything.

Reviewer: Morknmindy 2 reviews from this member

 We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this site.

The facilities were the cleanest on any site we have ever been on. When we go away we are looking for peace and quiet and that is certainly what this site is about. Don't let the facts that you are surrounded by a primary school, housing estate and park put you off. This was a lovely quiet site.

The wardens were very friendly and always busy keeping up the standards. We normally ventured father afield so cannot comment on the local facilities. I have no criticisms of the site at all.

If you have young children then maybe this site is not for you as there is not a lot for them to do. Having said that, that is the exact reason why we loved it.

 This site is contained within a walled garden and is quite sheltered with a children's play area and football pitches adjacent. This is accessed through a locked gate (key given at reception). Toilet and shower block although older in appearance will not disappoint proving to be kept very clean with lots of hot water and an added bonus of music. Site is on outskirts ot town within a new housing development but only takes a 10 minute walk into Carnoustie. There is a large Spar and Co-op which stocks everything you need. If looking for good pub food we recommend the 19th Hole staff very polite and prices reasonable. The site is quiet, clean and friendly and we will definitely visit again. 


Date of Visit: July 2008 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: BrianMcl 3 reviews from this member

 A high season pitch for only £17.00 per night with awning and hookup is hard to beat and when you add in the superb facilities it's a real steal.

As well as being free, there are so many showers that we never had to wait. The facilities would still be acceptable for a site twice as large!

The adjacent public park and play area (complete with swings, roundabouts, climbing frame, basketball net, football goals, etc.) was well used and well maintained, giving kids plenty of space to play and a variety of things to do without bothering anyone.

Several picnic benches dotted around the site is also welcome touch.

The TV room complete with pool table and vending machines was well used and the indoor dishwashing facilities were also very welcome, particularly when it rained.

It's also worth noting that entrance to the nearby high school swimming pool was open to the public and was half price with the campsite receipt, being a good way to spend a couple of hours one Saturday when the weather was a bit wet.

The site is a short walk from the local shops, pubs, banks, etc., and about 10 minutes from the sea front where there's another, much larger playpark and paddling pool.

Despite suffering torrential rain on one night in particular the site drains so well that the following morning you'd almost never have known.

As others have said despite being in town and close to houses it is very quiet. Highly recommended.

 A pretty lay out to the site, it was clean, plenty of showers and toilets, a children's / games room, (handy in the really wet weather,)
No shop on site but close enough to local facilities, I have no problem with anything the site had to offer, my only criticism (which is based on personal preference) the site is located very close to houses and children's park and a road and I prefer sites to be more rural, something a bit more away from it all

Reviewer: Suekev 4 reviews from this member

 Without question one of the nicest campsites we have stayed at. Excellent value for money.

Toilets and showers were immaculate, plenty of flat grass and room for the pitch,and in between pitches. Tv, gamesroom, washing up and laundry facilities also.

5 minute walk into town, and beach.Bus stop right outside the front gate.

Caretaker and wife always at hand to help if needed and have done an excellent job maintaining the site.Looking forward to returning next year.

Reviewer: Freyja 56 reviews from this member

 This is the second time we,ve stayed on this camp site. Lovely site on edge of Carnoustie within an old wall. Beautiful flower displays. Showers and toilets clean and showers hot and adjustable. £17.00 per night 2 adults one dog,on a pitch with water and EHU. The site was very busy but no noise late at night.
There is a road runs outside but this didn't bother me and traffic dies down at night. It's not the main drag ! Lots of shops and take aways in main street. Wardens very friendly and helpful. They live on site right next to caravans in their own caravan so they are right there if there was any bother, which there wasn't.
Very friendly site with everyone speaking to each other.Very clean beach. Would come again and again.

Reviewer: Evelynlawson 1 review from this member

 Excellent site for families. Toilets and showers were spotless. Warden was very helpful. He enjoyed a bit of friendly banter with us. There is a park just at the other side of the fence which did require a key to the gate. This keeps unwanted people from coming onto the site.

We would go back to this site and would recommend it to anyone. I would give this ite 10/10

 Really Lovely Site. Toilet Block/Showers really clean and tidy. The Warden has done a fantastic job in maintaining the high standards. Site is near a park and five min walk to the shops and 10 min walk to the beach. Really great site will go back again
