We booked the same day we arrived, was able to get on site easy & was shown to our pitch site, we had an entire field to ourselves & could pick wherever we wanted, nice & quiet & no lighting so the view of the stars at night were phenomenal. Shower facilities were clean & the water was really hot & just what we needed after being on the road for two days. The people we did encounter (there wasn’t many as the park was out of season) were really friendly & told us a few nice places to visit locally.

Reception was in brilliant location and the driveway in and signs-posting were very good.As I stay fairly local ithe location was excellent for a weekend break.It’s easy acces to the A75 so getting around is straight forward.The on site cafe is handy for breakfast and lunch and the staff were welcoming and friendly.A really enjoyable stay and would recommend this site to anyone.

Would have been better if cafe and pub were open instead of just Thursday &Friday we arrived Wednesday and wasn’t told till I paid overall a good site clean toilets and shower

We had a lovely stay but there was a problem with the shop, cafe and pool. The web site promotes all 3 but during our week stay they were hardly open. I only used the pool twice but was planning to use it a lot more. If the cafe isn’t open then there is no access to the shop or pool. After being out during the day I would have liked to have a swim when getting back to the site but the pool wasn’t accessible as the cafe shut at random times with no warning. I was told that it was a quiet time but you can’t advertise this facility if it’s not going to be open.Why can’t these facilities open for 2 or 3 hours in the morning, close during the day when a lot of tourers are off site and open again for another 2or 3 hours early evening when people get back. We only sat in the cafe for a meal once but would have used it more at tea time if it had been open. Please can you rethink the opening times and I would appreciate a reply to susantate58@gmail.com.

We were disappointed in the pitch we were allocated T19. It was small and surrounded by old caravans with tired awnings. It was convenient for the pub ,which was closed. The site was quiet and there were plenty of pitches they could have given us. It could have been very noisy if the site was full as we were on a junction between two areas of pitches. The welcome was not great and the directions to our pitch poor, and there was little logic to the markings. We were advised to print a map out for ourselves before we arrived. Unfortunately we don‘t have a working printer and I was relying on the screen of my mobile phone.Only good point, we enjoyed meeting the ducks and swans but never found the donkeys

Overall a pleasant stay. Great Sunday roast at The Lairds Inn. A couple of things I would point out is, that the gents toilet door is dragging and was like that on our last visit twelve months ago. The shower rooms could do with paint around the door frames etc. Again, these were the same last year. There was also litter dotted about the site.

Asked to be near tent field due to friends stay sane weekend but we were put other dude of park. Just an observation that it had been worn down and this is probably down to Covid as the makings of a really great site

Toilets need separate urinals for men. Large site could possibly have a Adult area for us oldies!

Camping with my 6 year old daughter at Castle Cary was fantastic. Her favourite aspect of the site was the swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor were adequately heated. We found the indoor pool quieter than the outdoor. We had food from the cafe which was great value and tasty. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Even offering to help me pitch the tent in the rain. We enjoyed the visiting wildlife and the resident animals alike. There is a lot to do for young ones close by. My daughter loved the cocoa bean factory and we found some lovely shops and cafes in the local village Kirkudbrigh. Originally our trip had been for 5, but due to illness it was only the two of us that could make it but we are planning to return to the site very soon to share the experience with more family and to enjoy the site some more. I highly recommend Castle Cary as a family friendly site with plenty to do for children all ages.
