Hi guys just wonder if you could put me in the rite direction. Im big 40 this June and i want to go to this area with my wife and 2 kids 11 & 5(both love beaches) and small dog.

Im looking for peaceful,stunning views and nice walks.

I have narrowed it down to 5 sites, please help me choose??

1. Mausdale

2. Killiegruer

3. Machrihanish

4. Caradale Bay

5. Portban

Thanks in advance

Mausdale charge for dogs but do not supply any facilities for them and therefore we would not use this site.

We have used Machrihanish and like it. There are lovely walks skirting the golf course and onto beautiful but quiet beaches, but the site itself can be a bit breezy.
The village tearoom is good for lunches.

We looked at Carradle Bay and Portban but did not fancy them.

I cannot comment on Killiegruer.

thks for the info folks.

We are beaches lovers so to be right on there appeals to us any more info would be most welcome

Mausdale is advertised as a beach CP but in fact the main road passes between the CP and the Beach.

I would advise you to check out all the CPs that you are looking at, on Google Earth.

I think Craradale will probably suit you best although they are not for us.

sorry maybe cause i have spelt the site wrong  

Its Killegruer caravan park

My appoligies again

We have never used this site but the reviews look good and it is one that we will try this coming season.

See the reviews here.

Muasdale is right on the beach with direct access. It is their static vans on the other side of the road, whose occupants think nothing of wandering through your pitch enroute to the beach.

On checking Google Maps, I see that you are quite correct. However, their toilet/shower facilities are across the main road from the touring area.

However, as I stated earlier, we do not use caravan parks that charge for facilities that they do not provide for and Mausdale is one such park.
They make a charge for dogs but have no provisions for them. I have twice emailed them asking why they do this but they have failed to answer any of my emails.

thx folks
i email killegruer which the wife seems to like and i got a quick reply saying you get 7 nights for £90 and there is no additional charges for awning or dogs

Thanks Sinclair, Despite earlier comments with regard to the traffic, it looks like our kind of site, being next to the shore.

Killegruer is 103 miles from us and I guess we will be using it later this year.
