 This was our 3rd visit since the covid virus.
The staff are super friendly and helpful.
We had booked a hard standing pitch for our caravan but unfortunately the night before our visit, a car rolled into our tow car whilst the caravan was attached, damaging both. Gill was very helpful and was able to rearrange our booking so that we could take our tent and pitch on the grass.
They have a limit on how many people could use the toilet and shower block because of the covid distancing rules, but there were rarely any queues.
As ever, it was kept very clean and tidy. We often visit this site.
We like it because of the spectacular views of the sea, so if you are lucky enough to get a sea view pitch you are in for a treat.

This was our 2nd visit since the virus. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The toilet block had some loos, sinks etc blocked off and there was a limit on how many people could use it at once. As ever, it was kept very clean and tidy. The laundry, reception shop and play area are closed.
We often visit this site. We like it because of the spectacular views of the sea, so if you are lucky enough to get a sea view pitch you are in for a treat.
Some of the pitches are very sloping so come prepared. Probably not that good for children as not much on site for them.
It is great to walk straight into the grounds of Culzean castle (via the ticket office!), and on down the coast to Maidens, but nowhere else is within walking distance. The NTS have reopened the grounds/loos/shop/cafe for takeaways.

I chose this site as our classic Royale caravan used to be owned by Lady Jane Kennedy who's family used to own Culzean castle.
Lovely site and the walk was lovely

Beautiful, peaceful site, plenty of walking round about, and friendly, helpful staff.
Immaculate shower block too.
Can't think of anything we didn't like.

We enjoyed an excellent welcome, clean and well organised covid-safe toilets and showers, as usual from a Camping & Caravanning Club site.
Our grass pitch with electric hook up was a wee bit further from the loos but suited us, better then being in the grass island overlooked by vans.
We walked to the country park but we covered about 6 miles in doing so.
Nice, well run, quiet site!

The National Trust is currently operating a booking system for entry into Culzean and the castle is not open yet, but do check the latest info as I gather that the booking will not be necessary shortly.

Tent unfriendly
Flat boggy pitches on the top of a hill overlooked by the whole campsite on every single side. Lights shining in from elsan point, toilets and everyone's electric hookup point so it's like you're in the spotlight.
Clean facilities
Not right next to castle or beach as website suggests, a long downhill walk to both with young children and no view except for of caravans if you're a tent.

Spotlessly clean toilet/shower block. Friendly staff.

There are various cafes within the grounds of Culzean, but also a good little café in Maidens, which is a cheaper option.
I highly recommend the Shanter Riding Stables at Maidens if you fancy a hack on the beach and through the grounds of Culzean.

Quite surprised with this site, expected to find not too much to do locally, but quite the opposite will have to return.
For dog lovers this is great so many lovely walks from the site, walking the castle grounds Free.
Most pitches have lovely views and on occasions wonderful sunsets, Sheltered from trees, but can be a bit open to the winds dependant on the direction. We had a hard standing, but the grass pitches are ok easy for pegging out. Tv reception was non existent with our aerial, some folk had sat dishes found it ok. Internet was ok slow and very little bandwidth as on most club sites.
Showers block etc was as usual a very high standard of cleanliness and quite new.
The staff on site helpful and busy, the site was full during our stay and despite being full it was very quiet and with very little movement of campers about the site.
Saw a Kids play park in use and enjoyed also playing I the woods.
The site is a bit out of the way to shops and local pub etc not within walking distance, had to drive to most places. But the castle grounds certainly made up for that on the doorstep.
We would certainly return and recommend this site great place to chill out.

Great site. We were given a grass pitch comfortably close to the shower block. We arrived on a good day, no wind, looked as though it could be fun if the wind had been up trying to get a tent up. We could see the sea and the isle of arran. Hard standing caravans get the front row seat. Took a walk (along the dog path) which brought us out in the culzean castle grounds saving us a possible £24 admission charge.
Back at the site we decided to have a bbq, bricks provided. Lit the bbq and poured a g&t waiting for it to heat up. At this point we had some uninvited guests, thousands of them. My wife vanished into tent with the can of raid. I manfully carried on with cooking being eaten alive by our guests until I decided we would just have to have semi raw sausages and joined the wife inside. The next day we used a pen to join up all my bites which spelt out "welcome to Scotland, signed The Midges".
Upsides, a great site, spectacular sunsets, lovely walks, loos so clean you could eat your dinner off the floor (if you are that way inclined).
Downsides, not a lot to do so have to drive everywhere. Visited Girvan, avoid, one of the most depressed towns I have ever visited. Quite expensive, £32 per night. Midges.
Will go again but will buy some of avon so soft skin cream which they sell in the shop!
