 This was our first time in Biggar and we loved the campsite. The location was perfect for a walk into the town via a safe mainly traffic free route.

The campsite was part of the public park with a golf course, tennis court, play park and a beautiful pond teaming with wildlife.

The facilities were clean and well maintained but a bit tired.

Our pitch was great, very quiet and a lovely view of the hills plus a wonderful sunset.

Well priced and we will definitely be back.

 Biggar is a most attractive town surrounded by hills with beautiful views. The town has a wide range of excellent shops and eating places.

However, the campsite has a significant number of caravans permanently located on the site with very few places for touring units. These are very badly maintained, rubbish and plastic grass placed on top of muddy areas.

The grass was being cut when we stayed and the workmen made their best effort to work around the caravans however because of the density and location of the caravans permeably on site, their work was hampered.

The resolution would be to reduce the number of permanent locations or at least move them so site work could be completed to a much higher standard.

I would not recommend any tourer unit stay until the local management make a drastic improvement to the site conditions.

 Stayed here one night on route to Glasgow for a festival.

Great location on a large site with Bar, Restaurant, Golf course, Play area, Showers, toilets and even a milkshake machine.

However, the site is very dated and is in need of some updating, especially in the Washing up areas.

Very pricey too at £28 per night, without electric!

 Maybe a bit of a marmite site seeing previous reviews.

On a super sunny weekend it was a lovely looking site, especially the lake. Pitches rock hard and grass well mown. There are plenty of seasonal vans majority clean and well kept.

However, we were shown to our pitch between two less well kept seasonals. We went back to reception and asked to move as our door would have been a few feet from the porch awning next door and to be honest both vans were very old, green with mould and not pleasant to sit out by.

We were told site fully booked and we should have booked an awning pitch for more space? Also reception said lots of people ring for specific pitches and we hadn't. We were made to feel we were being difficult but to be honest the pitch was one of the worst we have been offered at a site. After some debate we were given a different 100% better pitch.

Be aware some grass pitches are totally shaded all day, some are very tight between trees but others large and very open.

Loos old but very clean, shower cabins closed so only 1 mens and 1 ladies shower available for whole site. 20p for 7 minutes and was good and hot. There are new shower cabins due to be delivered - notes on doors to apologise not yet on site.

Loved the town of Biggar, plenty of pubs and eateries and a few nice shops.

At £24 per night including electricity on a good pitch the site is good. When they have new showers be even better.

I think when booking you need to be very clear about type of pitch, sunny or totally under trees, even if you want space to sit outside and if you want an awning (even a pull out).

Lastly agree with a previous review that an information sheet would be great.

All above said we would use again if we wanted that specific area, would just be very clear on type of pitch.

 A dreadful site which is not very well looked after.

Hardstanding pitch was nothing more than a patch of grass covered with gravel. Grass pitches were more mud than grass.

Vast majority of caravans were "all year" pitches and many not well kept.

The whole site had the look of a travellers camp.

Not to be recommended by any means.

A good situation and a nice walk into a nice town but not much else.

 Stayed for one night on our way home. Lovely duck pond and nature site attached to a golf course. Lots of caravans sited for the season, separate camping area and tourers areas.

There is a sports enclosure which our children spent much of their time in (football, cricket, tennis etc) and if we had been their longer would have used the tennis courts too.

There is plenty space for children to play - though the pond is unfenced - so care needed with younger children. Easy country walk into Biggar from the site -

We will definitely be back.

Only downside is that there are no freezer block facility on site for non electric campers - and it is often full!

 Peaceful location with waterside pitches, where swans and ducks wander freely.

Short walk to Biggar High Street.

Good welcome to the adjoining Golf Club bar.

Washing facilities are a bit dated, but adequate.

Overall, a good visit and I’ll return.

 Nice surroundings but site very dated. No handles on taps only push buttons, they sprayed water everywhere apart from into container. Unfortunately my extension didn't fit nozzle which resulted in a soaking.

Only one waste point at other side of site, door propped open with lump of concrete, luckily someone helped me lift container over ridge around entrance.

2 toilet cubicles available on one in one out, toilets clean but dingy. Didn't use coin operated shower, again dated with plastic curtains.

Washing machine and tumble dryer both very good.

Paid £252, cash only for 12 nights. I thought very expensive for facilities offered.
