    Hello KA. It isn't somewhere I have stayed, but did you know you can read lots of reviews about the site from Members who have? If you go to the Hillhead page on the website, there should be some reviews on there. If you click on read all reviews, you will probably find quite a few, and some might mention the entertainment etc.... Only pictures will be on Clubs page though, unless other members can post on this thread for you. It isn't easy to post pictures on here. Hope this helps.

    For families with children it is an ideal site,with plenty to do. For people like us of an older generation we were not keen on it as we prefer the quieter sites. We went with relations and their grandchildren. But could not fault the site,there are some
    very tight pitches ,other than that you should enjoy yourselves.

    Great site for famillies ,good bus service from site entrance,wifi ok but as on most sites can be slow if people do not use it for its main purpose (no streaming/gaming)

    You could try youtube and look for hillhead caravan club site, there was a time that some wardens thought they were film stars when the club started filming around the sites. There's probably some mebers films as well

    Hi Karen, we travelled down from Dundee a couple summers ago, with our two kids as it looked good. We weren't disappointed. The pool was the main draw, we were there everyday. Shop, bar, snacks toilets all next to the pool. Great big play area and additional
    games field. A few shoot em up arcade games and a pool table. Nice relaxed feel to the site felt safe for the kids going to and fro. We didn't partake of the entertainment, but the area around has plenty of things to keep them happy. You'll have a great time,
    cheers, Alex.

    We looked at booking for Christmas but £55.50 per night was to expensive.

    Hi

    Hillhead is one of our favourite sites we have been a few times over the years the last time being last July. The site is excellent with plenty to do, the outdoor pool is very good and is right next to the bar complex. The bar area is very good and does decent meals and they have an outdoor seating area which is nice to sit in if the weather is nice. In the high season there is entertainment on every night and most of the time it is good but it all depends on taste but we always enjoy the entertainment, I recommend going to see the Neil Diamond tribute act if he is on while you are there he is very good and entertaining too, The local area has plenty of things to do for people of all ages so you will find something to suit.

    Hope this helps!

    12/10 for us.... We love the site and all around it... but just take some levelling blocks with you just in case.
