Hi all,

Thinking of booking Craig Tara for September weekend, any advice? Only one review and from someone who stayed in a static van but no mention of camping facilities. Looking for info on pitches (i.e are we perched halfway up a hill!) and also toilets/showers. Entertainment not a real concern as kids will enjoy whatever is at hand but dont really want to book blind without some feedback.

Thanks in advance!!

I've used it but in a static. Thr touring pitches are at the entrance quite a bit up a steep hill and away from the main site. I can't comment on the facilities

We had 3 statics at Craig Tara, Not sure about loos and stuff but entertainment and pool,kids clubs all great.

The camping part is close to the entrace, fab view.  It is a walk down the bank the the entertainment complex.

September weekend is very busy we always had to turn loads of people away.

Hope you all have a fab holiday.

We drove in the gate late last year, about turned and drove straight out agan.

The touring area is right by the gate and next to a very busy main road. From what I remember, there was no grass in the touring area, just gravel As a campsite, it looked appauling. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I can only tell you what we saw.

Instead we went to the Walled Garden near Maybole. This is basically seasonal but a very friendle crowd and there is a Clubhouse with Carpet Bowls on a Fri eve and a singalong type thing on the Sat eve. There is a large play area also.
