Reviewer: LBBK 69 reviews from this member

 This is the sister site to Lochgilphead but a more rural setting. We stayed a week in the site's "superpod" - ideal for two people & all we needed was amply provided.

Beware tent campers: the site is exposed to the west winds, though some pitches provide more shelter than others. Hard to fault the site - easy booking, friendly welcome, well maintained and a mixture of pitch types.

Campbeltown is a five mile drive, or bus journey. Nice harbour, good sized Co-op, Art Deco cinema, various places to eat & three whisky distilleries to visit.

Davaar Island is a must but you do need a reasonable level of fitness to walk the causeway & around to the so-called crucifixion cave.

Further afield: Saddell Bay is a beautiful beach with an Antony Gormley statue but is mainly famous for the being the location of Paul McCartney's Mull of Kintyre video.

Don't miss out on the ruined abbey on the opposite side of the main road. The actual Mull of Kintyre is a long drive on a single track road followed by a very steep walk down to the Chinnock disaster memorial and the lighthouse.

Stunning views across to Jura, Islay & Northern Ireland. Even further afield, but worth a day trip, is a visit to the island of Gigha.

 What a lovely site in a beautiful location. The staff are really helpful, friendly and cheery and do their best to answer any questions.

The facilities are kept spotless and the toilet/shower combination are more than adequate for such a rural location.

There is a bus stop at the entrance if you want to venture into Campbeltown. It is a short drive to the best beach ever- Westport-, but is well worth the effort.

The pub next to the Golf club in Machrihanish is ok, but you need to book. Otherwise, just sit back, relax and do nothing!

 Lovely campsite in lovely spot. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Facilities excellent - 8 wetrooms with sink, shower and toilet- and nice large pitches. Nothing to dislike!

Can be windy- take your windbreak- but worth it for views.

Easy to walk along road to old clubhouse pub and bird hide. Good dog walk area too.

If I had to find one thing, I would prefer a couple of single toilets as at busy times and you just need the toilet you have to wait but in our experience, not long tbh.

 Stopped here on iur journey around the Scottish islands.

Landrover with roof tent, NOT campervan.

We opted for the grass pitch, no electric.

Really friendly staff.

Had the field to ourselves, close to a good dog walk route.

Facilities were individual toilet, basin, shower pods.

These were big, no feeling of being cramped, well looked after, clean with great showers.

Dishwashing was at either end of the block of toilets, or separate room.

Would recommend as

 1st time here was going to stay for 1 night but stayed 2 such a lovely site

Everything about the site was 1st class

The shower and toilets were some of the best we had used absolutely spotless

The staff were lovely and welcoming

Nice little enclosed dog walk and a lovely pub just 10 minutes walk away would definitely come again if this way and very good value for the price they charge 😀

 Stayed two night in May. Great camping area, facilities are spotless. Shower and bathroom are in locked room and are individual units making it private.

The facilities were very well looked after by Willie and he and anyone I spoke to were helpful. Good walking area around the site and the local hotel is only 10 minutes walk away.

I’d recommend the site. £15 a night might be on the top end just for a tent pitch but considering how well looked after the place was it was worth it.

It want too busy at the time we stayed which made it better. The local water main burst on our first day but was functioning later that night casing not too much inconvenience. No dislikes from me.

Thanks for all the help during our stay.

 Spent 4 nights in this holiday park in a large pod with my dog.

Although a holiday park it was so quiet, it’s the perfect place to get away from everything but close enough to Campbell town if you need anything.

Machrihanish bay is stunning & close enough to walk to.

Staff were helpful & very friendly & the toilet/shower facilities are excellent.

There is also a local bus that runs by the park.

 Friendly site, staff worked late into night to keep shower block clean, some showers better than others.

Unfortunately due to covid restriction the inside facilities were closed.

 Excellent site near the golf course and beach.

Facilities excellent, individual shower rooms cleaned regularly.

There are no shops in Machrihanish but the pub does a good fish and chips.

 Nice location, next to golf course and dunes, some sea views from the site, reasonable size pitches with hardstanding for vans. A lot of static vans on the site.

Toilet block is newish and kept spotlessly clean. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Beach is 10 minutes walk away, as is the pub. No shop nearby but Campbeltown is about 6 miles away and there is a bus stop near the site.

The site could be quite exposed in bad weather, but was fine when we were there and with no midges or horse flies!
