Balloch O Dee Reviews
Balloch O Dee Campsite is situated on the edge of the Galloway National Forest Park in Dumfries and Galloway. Surrounded by trees and mountains, this tranquil site offers a real chance to get away from it all. It has a unique feel with free range hens, ducks and chicks wandering around the site, all waiting to meet you. Glampers are spoiled with a range of unique options too.

From arrival the site was amazing, it was in a beautiful area in amongst the hills and you hear nothing but nature. The facilities were great and had a magical feel about the whole place and the family who run the site were so lovely. I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Lovely peaceful, if slightly quirky campsite. Facilities are clean and showers are warm! We really loved the different shelters for cooking out of the rain and the opportunities to meet other campers. Unfortunately there are no horses, it looks like the stables haven't been used for sometime. We were also met by a man who seemed surprised at our arrival! We didn't think it was the most organised of setups but we would recommend this for the campfires and setting.

We loved our stay at Balloch O Dee! They took us in last minute and were super friendly and easy to get hold of upon arrival. The facilities were great and the whole site had a relaxed and inclusive vibe. There was lovely scenery surrounding the site and loads of recommended excursions advertised for the local area. A great spot for a romantic getaway in our case, but also very family friendly. We will be back!

It's a beautiful location, and the site is peaceful and well managed. The facilities are good, with the really spacious toilets being a unexpected bonus. The is no onsite shop, so campers needs to be self sufficient, but there are supermarkets in Newton Stewart and a small one in Wigtown. We will definitely go again.
Wonderful place

Beautiful place, really can see the ethos behind the campsite and I loved it. A peaceful campsite where you can relax and unwind with great touches, particularly in the toilets, patches of wildflowers, fire pits and free roaming chickens, made it feel like the owners know what camping should feel like. Wonderful.

Had a lovely time at Balloch O Dee. Remote location but close enough to local amenities by car. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and plenty to see. Would highly recommend trying this site. The communal cooking area is a lovely touch! James, the site owner, is a lovely bloke, very helpful, and I will definitely return if we venture back to Dumfries & Galloway area.

Great wee campsite, owners were welcoming on arrival. The site was fairly quiet during our stay so almost felt like wild camping but with the luxury of facilities! Loved having the dug out fire pit. They have bags of logs for £6 but I'd recommend bringing your own as they were very small (atleast half a bag of mostly kindling) but apart from that, all good. 😊
Fantastic stay, will be back

Myself and my friend had an amazing time at this campsite. Plenty of great spots to set up your tent with loads of places to have a fire going. With two large covered areas to cook or relax under if it gets a bit to windy or rainy at the tent. The toilet and shower facilities were great as well with 5 toilets and 2 showers, so there's plenty so you're not waiting. 4 places to wash pots and pans with fresh drinking water taps. I can't think of anything else the campsite would need.
Lovely laid back site

No fuss, campsite is ideal for tent campers. Love the birds and animals. Has everything you need, even baskets for clothes in the shower.

Total random find online, and was well worth it. Stunning location, facilities were plentiful and so clean. Everyone was friendly and helpful. As a very inexperienced camper the most important thing was the toilets etc, and I wasn't disappointed. Definitely going back. Highly recommended.

What a campsite, 1st time camping in Scotland and so glad we chose this campsite. Just a beautiful, well-maintained site with fab scenery all around. So warm and friendly and the facilities were great with lots of lovely little details. Kids are just 1 and 6 and they loved it. So much to do and see just a short car journey away too. We will be back.

Fantastic facilities and owners were very friendly and helpful. This is a quiet site but you can sit outside all night if you wanted, as long as you respect the other campers and you keep your voices down!

Although I only stayed for 2 nights it was the perfect wind down for me. A lovely welcome when I arrived, beautiful pitch with picnic table and fire pit and loads of facilities if the weather was not kind (thankfully didn't have to use these). Great vibe and very chilled out stay. I will definitely be back.

Fantastic little campsite where we stayed in the yurt. Despite the bad weather it was comfortable and nice. The owner James was just wonderfully friendly. There is so much attention given to make the place look beautiful and welcoming!
