Great location, fantastic views. Excellent facilities, all very new and clean - toilets (separate toilet for children), showers, washing up and clothes washing all in one large main building. Ran out of hot water (supplied by solar heating with a boiler backup I think) a couple of times, but more available fairly quickly. James, the warden is very helpful.
Great food in the on site restaurant - seafood very high quality and very low price; no need to visit the Port Charlotte hotel for seafood (which is also very good but considerably more expensive). Staff in restaurant more than happy to cater for vegetarians even if there's nothing specific for them on the menu. View from the restaurant is spectacular.
Overall a great site, very easy access to Port Charlotte - 10 minute walk with small children. Port Charlotte has two hotels / pubs, both do food and serve decent beer, also a post office and bus stops for the main bus and post bus.
Site is very good value for money, too. About 10 hookups available, no problems with the supply. Possibly a lack of grass with each hardstanding (for awnings to go on); the hookup pitches are very close together.
Excellent children's playground with loads of equipment of a very high standard, plus a small football pitch next to the main pitch. Plenty of space on site for kids and adults alike. Fairly easy access to the shoreline - loads of birds about and some evidence of otters although we didn't see any :-(
A wonderful site on this beautiful island.
We visited this site during the festival of malt week and were surprised it was not busier. The facilities are excellent,very good shower rooms and toilets and good washing up area and laundry.
There is a cafe attached to the main facilities building which has a wonderful view looking over loch Indaal. There is also a nice play area for the children.
The weather was fantastic for the time of year we visited but this also had it's downside as it brought out the midges, the locals recommend hand and face cream made by Avon.
The site is in an ideal location to access other parts of this lovely island and see it's wide variety of wildlife. We were lucky enough to see a pair of golden eagles which was a fantastic sight and it is also well worth going to the beautiful village of Portnahaven to see the seals and have a drink in the quaint little pub there.
If you have got time I would also recommend going to port Askaig and getting the ferry across to Jura for the day.

A perfect site! Wonderful full view of Loch Indaal with
nothing between you and the loch (except some sheep :-)
Perfect facilites, well kept and always clean. It's an community owned campsite (as we understood) and you feel the heart of the people in all the community center and the facilities for the campers. The warden James McEachern is always around, so if you need any help you can ask.
Large playground for children, the
people from Port Charlotte also come and play there with their children,
not just the campers.
Due to the Malt and Music Festival during which we stayed
the site was busy, if we would have needed a hook-up it would have been
essential to book, cause there was none left. But we didn't need one, so
that was okay.
Very good base to explore the wonderful Isle of Islay, do
absolutely recommend this site!
Nice, family-friendly campsite with lovely sea views. Flattish ground suitable for tents and caravans. Reasonably handy for Port Charlotte (small shop, hotel etc) - about 5 - 10 mins walk. Good children's play area and excellent, clean facilities, also cafe on-site.
