I hadn't been to a campsite for many years and was blown away by the quality of Auchenlarie. It's spotlessly clean throughout, the pitches are really generous in size and well equipped (our motorhome rental company told us that it's the norm to have water for the motorhome as communal, but our pitch had a tap as well as electricity). The beach is phenomenal and the plethora of activities (play park and swimming, were awesome, to name but two) were really excellent. Every member of staff we came into contact with was warm and helpful. A great stay and thanks to everyone.
Facilities and location were good

Facilities and location were good and staff were friendly and helpful but unfortunately, our stay was cut short from two nights to one. After a trip to the restaurant, my husband and son were ill with sickness and tummy aches. We obviously can't say for certain if this was down to the food but beforehand they were absolutely fine. It ended up being an expensive trip for one night and we had fun credits we couldn't use or refund, although hopefully we can use if we visit park in the future.

Site in camping area was noisy due to main road next to site. The showers and toilets were broken and dirty. No toilet rolls or soap in dispenser. Tent pitches were on a slope. Not happy paying extra for swimming and I feel it should be included in the price. Only good thing was the pool and sport bar staff friendly. Would not stay again due site not good for camping, but it is good for statics.
Nice park

Nice clean tidy park, large pitches. Decent facilities and good location. Some road noise, but does get quiet at night. There was the odd truck driver who thought it would be funny to hoot horn at early hours. We would consider staying again.
Enjoyed the site, just got unlucky

Although we really enjoyed your campsite, there were a couple of things that were disappointing, especially for the fact that we were only there for 2 days/nights. When we arrived there was a couple and a baby in our pitch with everything set up. We felt terrible having to ask them to move as they realised when we showed them proof that they had been in the wrong pitch since they arrived. They had a lot of things to move, bikes, prams etc, we went for a walk to give them time (we felt this should have been spotted by the staff as we felt awkward). The next morning, the gardener started strimming over at the purple pitches (no 40- 50). This was so annoying and ruined our stay. We came away for a quiet stay and our pitch was perfect for what we wanted, but the strimming went on all day up to 4pm, we couldn't ever read a book as it was irritating. At 2.30pm, I went and spoke to the guy (Thomas) with the strimmer and he said he still had quite a bit to do but he wouldn't be doing the bits that needed done beside our camper as it's too close. Thank goodness for that! We are thinking we were just unlucky however we loved the location, cleanliness and all that is on offer at the park, and would recommend it to our family and friends
Great family and dog friendly campsite

Lots of good facilities and generally dog friendly. Stuff for the kids as well. Back tent pitches are very close to the main road with lots of trucks passing all night. Request to be away from there.

Park was clean and tidy, food and drink was not a rip off like some. Facilities were limited but fine for a couple of nights. The campsite and adjacent vehicle pitches are very close to the busy A75. I am not a light sleeper but was awoken by the traffic noise. From around 3:00am each morning, heavy goods vehicles heading too and from Stranraer make it very hard to get back to sleep.
Great park

Site was clean and the views were great. Lovely hot showers which were kept spotlessly clean. Food in the restaurant was very good and the on-site swimming pool was a bonus. All in all a very good experience, would definitely recommend.

Site was very well maintained, however toilets and showers need more attention to detail from housekeepers.

Fab site with great views and very friendly, helpful staff. Great value for money in sports bar and restaurant. We were based in the circle which was great. The only negative is the crows squawking in the trees, but that's the only one. We went on a few day trips to Gatehouse of Fleet, Isle of Whithorn, Castle Douglas, Newton Stewart etc. We will definitely be back.
Great views

It was a great stay. The facilities are first class and it's central to a lot of local attractions. If you are considering staying, I would suggest requesting a pitch away from the crows. They are very noisy when they roost in mass in the trees overhead.

It was an enjoyable weekend and the staff were fantastic. Only thing that really bothered us was that the main road was close to the tent pitches and the lorries were loud throughout the night. I also understand that work is being carried out to upgrade the site but starting work at 07:30 was a bit early I'd say! All that said, we will be returning.

A good stay. Our only issue was the noise of the road next to site and hardstanding was really hard to get pegs in.
