[Mark Harvey](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102523710564828327931/reviews) ★★★★★

Stayed here for two nights over May Bank Holiday, friendly wardens who gave us a choice of remaining pitches. Facilities very clean and the site well looked after, some pitches have lovely views of the isle of Arran. Most pitches flat but some grass pitches may need levellers, you can walk into Culzean Castle grounds from the site which is really good, we spent 5 hours walking around the grounds and along the coastal walk. Site is child and dog friendly, overall really good site with plenty of walks straight from the campsite.
