Primitive cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked: Very helpful owner, DIane, came out to meet me as I arrived and point out where everything was. The site is open with fields of horses adjacent as well as a children's / picnic area. Toilets/showers are clean and well-kept. It was exactly what I was looking for. The surrounding area is good for cycling/walking, although Ayrshire is mostly hills. Nearby Sorn (5K) is worth a visit.
