About Castlewigg Holiday Park
A very warm welcome awaits you at this small and friendly holiday park, in the heart of the Machars peninsula, in South West Scotland. Set just 18 miles south of Newton Stewart and two miles north of Whithorn on the A746, the park is surrounded by beautiful unspoilt countryside, and there are sandy beaches just 5 miles away. This is an ideal retreat for those seeking peace and tranquillity, as well the more active among you. Here you'll find camping and touring pitches with and without EHUs, plus the option to own static caravan holiday homes.

The park is open 50 weeks of the year for camping and statics, closing only for the last two weeks in January.
