Date of Visit: March 2017 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Barracudafish 11 reviews from this member

 We stayed on this site for 3 nights in March as the next door site hadn't yet opened for touring pitches. We booked and paid online. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We were allocated pitch 51 overlooking the river. The first day it poured so we took the bus outside Tesco ( a couple of minutes walk away) and took the 20 minutes journey into Dundee ( £4. 10 for 2 adults)

On the Sunday the sun shone so we had a walk along the fabulous beach and cycled into Broughty Ferry. The only thing with the pitch was that between you and the river is a footpath which is widely used and you can feel a bit like a goldfish in a bowl with many walkers looking into your van as they pass!

The toilets are very clean and warm although we didn't use their showers as we had our own. The pitches are gravel so also clean but I think that it may be a bit tight once an awning is up!

All in all, a very good site and close to a lovely beach and the town of Monifieth. Great for a weekend away.

 A really nice site literally a stone's throw from the sea and about a five minute walk to the shops and restaurants of Monifieth.

Booking online was easy and hassle free and the girl at reception was helpful and very accommodating when I asked to stay for an additional night. Although my pitch was booked, she arranged for me to move to the tented area with a reduced price and free wifi for the additional night, which was very much appreciated. Wifi is normally £2. 50 for 24 hours.

Some of the touring pitches are on quite a slope and it was interesting seeing some caravans with their stabilising legs extended to the max, some with the addition of bricks.

The toilets were immaculate, with the only gripe being about the showers which were fitted with curtains, which resulted in the dreaded 'curtain creep' as you were using them.

The site is located right next to the railway station, which means train noise and although very few trains stop here, there is the opportunity to travel to nearby Dundee on the few that do, although there is an excellent bus service (number 73) which runs to Dundee every 10 minutes. The stop is outside Tesco, again about a 5 or 10 minute walk from the site.

There is a coastal path just outside the site, which is accessible by a locked gate, the key for which is provided on check in and there is a snack bar at the exit gates, which although the food was okay, the service was atrocious and I wouldn't go back.

Overall a great site, very convenient for the coastal walk and an ideal stop for a day or a night out in Dundee with friendly and accommodating staff.

 My wife and I have been to tayview on numerous occasions. It's a fabulous site. Spotless. A lot of work has went into making the fantastic site it is. The facilities are immaculate. Very helpful staff. Well worth a visit. 


Date of Visit: September 2016 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: 3Scotties 13 reviews from this member

 We visited with our Motorhome, only for one night on the occasion of dropping our son off to Uni at Dundee.

Our only disappointment was that we could not stay longer!

We found this site whilst searching for site options on ukcampsite. Co. Uk and chose it over the Caravan Club CL site options and other sites in the area because of the location, proximity to Dundee and the fact it was coastal with direct access to a beach for the dogs.

Initial pre-booking contact with the site to ask questions was excellent, they came across very friendly.

Booking on line was straightforward, price compared to Caravan Club sites was slightly higher but in line with other privately owned sites. They have to make a living and they obviously have invested, maintain and are developing the site. On hindsight £25/n including dogs given the quality of the site, pitch location & standard was good value.

The hard standing pitch we were assigned was excellent, it has a gravel section and monoblocked section with sea view, hook up with water pipe at power point. The caravan pitches seem to have individual power, water & grey water drain. There was pleanty grass pitches too.

Welcome - was great, we were running very late due to roadworks, phoned in and finally didn't get there until 5mins before the office shut. Their attitude was helpful, understanding & welcoming.

Showers and facilities were excellent with a smaller toilet & dishwashing area near our pitch.

On site cafe was a great addition, we has a bacon roll in the morning to save time. It was excellent and the staff friendly. When we left at 10 on the Sun am it was buzzing with passing trade of dog walkers sitting outside in the sun having a coffee.

Past reviews - some older ones were inaccurate of the sites current condition so ignore them, go visit yourself with an open mind.

Locality - local shops within walking distance including a well known supermarket

We hope to return soon, the Wx was mixed with sun & overnight rain, but that only added to the enjoyment of the vitit hearing the rain on the roof and tucked up cosy inside.

Thanks and keep up the good work, the maintenance standard of the site.

Overall it was really excellent and the warm welcome was really appreciated. 


Date of Visit: July 2016 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Hellodolly 1 review from this member

 Spent a couple of nights there in a tent with friends who were touring Scotland.

The staff were friendly and the toilets/showers were spotless.

Tesco and a great chip shop are a ten minute walk away as well as a couple of local pubs which were friendly.

Just outside the grounds is a playpark and sandy beach when tide is out.

There is a footpath/cycle path which takes you into Broughty Ferry one way, Carnoustie the other way. The walk into Broughty Ferry (30min walk) was lovely running along the banks of the River Tay, plenty of pubs and places to eat there. The only negative about the path is that when sitting outside the tent the public can look right in.

At night you can listen to the waves breaking on the shore a stones throw away but there is an early morning train which rumbles past which gave me a startle.

CCTV does give you the feeling of security.

It is quite a large site with static and touring caravans, it also has small wooden chalets, all and all, I was very pleased with my stay and my friends said it was one of the better sites they had stayed at.

 We have been coming to Tayview for a few years now. Every time we go it gets better and better. We have always had a warm welcome from Arlene or Gill and have found them to be very accommodating. We were offered a fully serviced hard standing pitch with perfect, uninterrupted views over the river Tay during our recent stay. Brilliant! The caravan park is really well maintained and toilet block is clean as a whistle! There are superb walks to nearby broughty ferry and direct access to the beach and local shops, take aways and restaurants within 5 mins walk. There is a play park across the road. Would be even better if there was a small play park on site for younger children. Can't wait to go back. 😉

 Stayed here in one of the 4 person lodges and four adults fitted in really well. The lodge itself has two sofa beds, fridge, table, TV so very well equipped and design allows lots of natural light to come in. Toilet block right beside the lodges and only a short walk to the showers and both are kept immaculate by Anne. Campsite is situated right on the edge of the beach with access through a locked gate so the site itself very secure. Beautiful views from all parts of the site. Grounds are also immaculate and the staff friendly and helpful. Site is also very well situated for the high street being only a 5 minute walk and a short drive takes you into Dundee. St. Andrews is a 30 minute drive away and well worth a visit. This is a beautiful site and well worth a visit and we will definitely be back.

Reviewer: Derbyed 1 review from this member

 A really good clean friendly Campsite, very helpful staff I arrived having forgotten to put my caravan steps back in my van after a pitstop in a service station the staff went out of their way to find some loan steps. The toilets and showers are spotlessly clean. And the views are to kill for looking out over the Dee Estuary. Very flat area for walking and wheel chairs adjacent to site. The only complaint and its not the sites fault but the Councils and that is although there is a sign for the other campsite close by, on the main road Tay View isn't and I hope the council rectify this ommission. 10*

 I have stayed at the site next door for 3 years and this year they couldn't give me a suitable pitch well thank you to them ! I booked Tayview although a larger site it's so quite and is a much better site much more camper friendly (don't mind if you have a wet towel hanging outside after a shower) and cleaner but most important I really felt safer than I did at other site which is a big plus in my books. Toilets are kept so clean and showers are hot whatever time you have one. My son and girlfriend came up for a night intending to stay in the caravan but they hired a small lodge giving us all our own privacy and got a discount because we were here. They loved it that much they came back a few days later for another night. All the necessary shops farm foods, tesco, fish& chip shop, Chinese, couple of bakers newsagents and pubs are within a 10min walk away and you can get a bus into Dundee every 10 mins again a 10 minute walk to bus stop. The train station is about a 3 min walk for anyone that doesn't drive. I always wanted to retire up here and will definitely be in Tayview highly recommend whatever age or size of family. Arlene the manager is a gem💙.
