Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Friendly staff, shower/toilet block impressive, views great.
Disliked: Ground too hard to put tent pegs in. Tried to secure tent with rocks lying around. Slept ok the first night but the wind and rain blew my tent apart on day 2 and everything got soaked. Spent the second night in my car. Abandoned the pitch and booked into airbnb instead. Not happy, will not be back.

From the manager: Unfortunately the weather is out of our control nor are we responsible for the equipment to bring to enable the correct erection of tents! We are pleased the points positively mentioned are within our control and scored highly.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Garry is really helpful tells you where to pitch and comes back to make sure all is well. Don’t forget your ramps! We were here bank holiday weekend and were surprised how quiet it was. The views are amazing to Northern Ireland & Dunskey castle (Which is also worth a wander around in decent footwear) We saw deer, rabbits and sea birds. Excellent walking as you are on the coastal path. We walked to Portpatrick on the coastal path amazing ravines / bridge and some steep stairs but worth it. You can also go the old railway way - in parts can be boggy if it’s rained. We also walked the road way which is longer passing a pub / cafe (didn’t use) On Saturday there is a foodie market and Sunday Craft market - both at the harbour. The carrot cake at the bakery was fabulous, the gift shop & antique shop too. We preferred the Harbour Hotel to sit outside at (dog friendly inside and out) local ales & gins also available etc. Castle Bay is immaculate and we would return.
Disliked: The Elsan needs improving - one of those lift the lid boxes would be better. More water points are required.
