I visited at the end of the season and had the place almost to myself. A lovely setting by a river with lovely views. The facilities were clean and good value for money. An excellent shop next to the site and a brilliant chippy down the road (best haggis supper I have ever had!). The site owner was an absolute star - really helpful.
Excellent all-round

Camped in a small tent for 3 nights at the end of September and have no complaints. The site is in a great location, facilities were kept perfectly clean throughout our stay (nice electric showers, good washing up areas and clean toilets). Martyn, the site owner, provided some great recommendations for the local area and all-round was very hospitable and friendly. There is also a well stocked and friendly village shop right next to the campsite. I fully recommend camping here.
