 Great Location, managed to spot a few seals just off the beach which was lovely. Great views of the lighthouse and the beach.
The toilet seats could do with changing and the toilet / shower block could do with a clean, deep clean at that, dead flies and spiders in the circa 1970's lampshades in the mens toilets is just poor.
Told to park up inbetween a motorhome and tent when there was only 3 motorhomes and 1 tent on the site
I'm sure the Lounge and Restaurant could be put to better use. The fridge where you're allowed to put your food, was overloaded with butter and moldy bacon, completely gross.
Staff weren't over friendly and after two days we still couldn't find the waterpoint.
Its a shame the poor standards of hygiene and lack of facilities spoil a beautiful place to stay.
Amused by the sign in the toilets which said '4 groups have been evicted this year from the site, don't be the 5th' Doesn't really fill me with confidence that this is a 'family, friendly campsite'.

Wonderful views to Pladda & Ailsa Craig until a motorhome parked in front - sideways - & completely blocked our beautiful view. 'Loads' of tents & kids, but not surprising as it was by a beautiful beach with rock pools, seals & otters. Cannot comment on the shower block as we used our caravan. Good hotel next door with little shop, bar with good bar meals and occasional live folk bands. Beautiful place and will definitely go back. The ferry was expensive so we wont be able to go back as often as we would like.

Just returned from a 10 day stay at Seal Shore and had a wonderful time.The weather was pretty good most of the time and although it rained pretty hard in the night a few times we had some beautiful warm sunny days.
The site is in a great location and the views out to sea are fantastic.Its a matter of luck/timing if you want a hot shower and best to avoid busy times as the immersion heaters or whatever they use take a while to heat the water up it seems. The'Hub' (the name given to the shop within the adjoining Kildonan Hotel) although fairly expensive had a good choice of the basic items you might need.
We met a lot of nice people on Arran both residents and fellow campers and the island is a lovely place for a holiday with a great laid back feel.
An added bonus was 2 very clear nights where we witnessed a great display of shooting stars and some truly colourful sunsets.There is a bus stop directly outside the site if you want to visit other parts of the island (I hope you manage to figure out the timetable which borders on the bizarre) Lochranza is nice and we would recommend eating at the Catacol Hotel just up the road.
Brodick is very pleasant with some nice walks along the beach towards the castle.If you have the luxury of a car you can do most of the island in a couple of days. We would definitely return to this site.

Second night of our backpack trek. Arrived very late as we hadn't worked out the buses yet (4 buses a day miss one and weep) though the owners were very good, pitched near the driveway, which is shared with the hotel but traffic noise was not noticeable. There were some pitches right on the shore which would offer amazing views to wake up to though they were totally exposed.
There is a day room and sheltered barbecue area which is a nice touch. Very good, clean showers/toilet block. Washing machines and driers were a welcome find and the campsite has a little shop with the basics (I've never seen haggis in a tin before, it was actually very nice!) Didn't use the hotel shop, so can't comment.
Seemed a good site, It's difficult to leave a more detailed review ad we arrived late and left early.

Just back from a week in Arran and thought this site was absolutely lovely. Quite sheltered with amazing views across to Ailsa Craig and Pladda and so close to the sea you were almost in it.
Owners very helpful and laid back and the hotel next door had a good bar, shop and restaurant, which was an unexpected bonus.
Don't know why people are moaning about hairdriers, bars of soap, places to empty chemical toilets (Why do you need your own special toilet? Use the site ones!) and lack of playgrounds?? The whole beach is right there in front of you. Children don't need anything more.
We would definitely go back.But not if they built a play-park!

This is our 4th visit to sealshore but this had to be the best weekend we spent there the weather was fantastic, waking up in the morning to see those views just makes this place priceless.
The post office has now gone but now there is a shop
In the hotel with adequate supplies and the pub /hotel is reasonable priced for beers and bar meals.
We lit a fire on the beech which is right on the campsite but you walk along about 100 yards and light a fire away from anyone who is wanting an early night so nobody gets disturbed.
All very friendly atmosphere, my only gripe is wish I could find a flat pitch seemed to be on a slope most of the pitches. Showers and toilets were ok and fridges were very helpful,
Going back for the last weekend in September cant wait hope the weather is ok though

We have just been holidaying at sealshore campsite which was our first time here with the family. Such a great place right on the beach it couldn't be any closer for the kids. The toilet facilities were great couldn't be any better, hot showers and very clean, the undercover area was a godsend as it rained a few times while we were there and it didn't put us off at all. The staff were very helpful, when we arrived we were short on food stuff and heard there was a shop in the hotel, but didn't buy anything from it as it was bare minimal and the fresh food was very grey and tired looking, we were happy to get tin stuff from the site shop! We will be back as we all loved it, and the kids made friends so well on the site!

There is no doubt that this campsite has lovely views. However the shower blocks are in need of an update and weren't always particularly clean, although there was plenty of hot water. We had booked a pitch well in advance as we knew we couldn't get there until late afternoon and because we use an ehu. We were disappointed that a pitch had not been reserved for us and there was not space for our tent in the section reserved for those who had booked (where you also get a good sea view). The following day the site began to fill up to the point that there was very little space between tents and it felt overcrowded. 3 of the 4 nights we stayed we got very little sleep - a wedding in the hotel one night with some guests camping by us and a group of noisy teenage girls in tents nearby! So if you're looking for a quiet site with modern facilities this may not be the one for you!

This was our 2nd visit to this site, the scenery was as wonderful as usual, however we did feel that standards had slipped a little despite the addition of new showers.
The gents did not have any soap for hand washing for the six days of our visit, the ladies ran out on day two.
Drinking water was not labelled and the chemical waste toilet disposal would not flush and the hose outside this area did not work.
However we did enjoy our stay and would probably return

Wow just back from seal shore on the 20th of June had an amazing time weather was fab. Site was great as usual. Only very minor complaint was the hairdryer is not working in the shower area and the new showers were running a bit cold but didn't mind so much as the weather was very very hot, but the old showers were great anyway. Brilliant site excellent location. Please please please consider putting in a play area for kiddies and I would spend most of the summer there every year.
