Lovely place
Large Tent - Serviced Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2024 Absolutely lovely place, the kids had a great time. Lots to do, we loved the beach and the fun swim session. The only slight let down is the busy main road which was located right next to our tent, but obviously can't be helped and it didn't really disturb us too much.
Really lovely site
Medium Tent - Serviced Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2024 Staff all really lovely and attentive, the facilities were clean. The park was beautiful.
The only downside was we were pitched next to the trees and the crows were very vocal in the early hours, but that's all part and parcel of camping. We had a lovely stay thank you.
Very clean park
VW-Type Campervan - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jun 2024 We stayed in camper which was right at the top of the site hard standing pitch, which was fine, but traffic noise from A75 was constant 24 hours a day and tents were even closer - how they slept I have no idea.
Overall, can't fault the site. Will return with ear plugs as once away from the top end, it is so peaceful. Just a shame that they don't have a touring part at the bottom.
Fantastic weekend
Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jun 2024 Brilliant site, greatly maintained and well organised. Will definitely return next year.
Views from the coast across the Solway over to the Isle of Man are well worth it.
Simply stunning.
A great family holiday
Large Tent - Serviced Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2024 We had a great stay. Well catered for for both adults and families. The facilities were great and were extremely clean. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend to others. Look forward to re booking again.
Very pleasant Medium Tent - Serviced Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2024 Only downside was that the camping part is too close to the main road so we heard lorries go by the whole stay and the crows never shut up. I know I know, it's nature and nothing can be done, but it was the only thing we did not enjoy, so bring ear plugs.
Apart from that, the site is lovely and clean we were very happy with the site.
Fantastic!
Trailer Tent - Serviced Grass Tent Pitches May 2024 First time we have been. We loved it and will definitely be back.
Caravan
Single Axle Caravan - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2024 Really nice site with superb views, perfect for the kids and the adults. Will be returning, thanks.
Our stay
Medium Tent - Serviced Grass Tent Pitches May 2024 Lovely location overlooking the sea. Plenty of things for our 6 year old to do in the evening.
Showers and toilets were in good condition, with plenty of space for the camping area.
Holiday '24
Single Axle Caravan - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2024 The site was lovely. Toilets and shower facilities were spotlessly clean and there were plenty of dog walking areas.
Down side was a noisy pitch, as road noise was constant night and day. Also as we were on a high up pitch, the car was needed to get to water disposal area as too far to carry.
Not for us Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2024 This is a beautiful park in a wonderful location and toilet blocks etc are spotlessly clean but we felt it was let down badly by a few points and for these reasons we won't go back.
1. There is no Internet on general site (only in Pub on site) unless you pay for it (which wasn't mentioned) We did pay but the quality of service was extremely poor and we ended up giving up on the WI-FI!
2. Unfortunately the park rules around loud music etc etc do not seem to be enforced. We had to endure loud parties with music blaring all day and well into the night coming from quite a few of the static vans on site, which didn't make for a peaceful break.
3. Unfortunately, the dogs on leads policy again did not seem to be enforced. There were quite a few very large dogs running around and no sign of any owners to pick up mess they left behind!
Nice park but not a good plot
Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2024 Lovely park. Very clean and friendly staff.
The biggest bugbear was the pitch we were allocated felt like we were parked in a car park. No views of the water at all - with a big banking behind us. If we were only stopping one night, it would not have been so bad, but 3 nights with an exceptionally noisy, busy road and no view wasn't good.
The beach is a tiny sandy/shingle space
Lovely location Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2024 Beautiful location, must be lovely with the sun.
Unfortunately not the best for motorhomes, we felt the park is too steep to comfortably walk, and the tourer area is on top of the hill. Reaching pool facilities and restaurants, and mainly coming back, it's not for everyone.
Road is also very close, with a constant lorries noise.
First time visiting
Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches May 2024 Wasn't the best weather during our visit but we were impressed with the site. Clean, lots of great facilities on site and friendly staff. Showers were good, hot and clean. Toilets were clean and well maintained. Bar was clean, efficient service and friendly staff. Food was good. We will be back.
Amazing!!!!
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Apr 2024 Me & my partner had an amazing weekend with you!!! We will definitely be back!😍
Showers & toilets were kept spotless all weekend and the showers were great! All staff were friendly & very helpful. All round an amazing, clean and beautiful holiday park!!
We highly recommend this place to everyone! Couples, groups or families, it has something for everyone 👌🙌
The beach & views are breathtaking 🙌 at night & during the day it is so peaceful ☺️
A very relaxing place to recharge yourself 😍🥰
Gorgeous beach
Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Apr 2024 A well kept park with great facilities. The beach is stunning but there is a bit of a steep path down to it. Disappointed that we couldn't see the sea from our pitch, and being so close to the A75, traffic noise was quite annoying and did disturb our sleep.
Site was not very busy so no problems with showers or toilets, not sure how the usage would stretch out at a busy time.
Very disappointed stay Single Axle Caravan - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Apr 2024 Very nice, well kept site.
However, it is very close to main route to the ferry terminal, with a constant stream of lorries throughout the night keeping us up every night.
On 3 occasions, we went to use the facilities for an evening meal, however I felt there was very little to choose from. I made 3 choices, only to be told they were not available. I settled on soup, which was ok, apart from the stale bread.
We twice attended the entertainment, first time was the quiz night, the only consolation was that we would have won as we were the only 2 there. 2nd night was Bingo at £20 per game, even if we played bingo, we felt that £20 is on the expensive side. Although I appreciate it is early on in the season, I felt the prices should reflect the availability of the services you are paying for.
In a final note, the location of the site is Castle Douglas but you are actually 19 miles from Castle Douglas, not ideal when planning the weeks activities.
Fantastic, clean and attractive
Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Apr 2024 Me, my wife and our 2 kids stayed. Facilities were fantastic, location was beautiful and the views was fantastic.
There was only 1 minor issue. I rated standard of service 3 stars, only due to the dinner. They only do pizzas for take away after a certain time, which we found a bit awkward with my son being a very picky eater ,with certain food he can't eat (he had no food for nearly 14 hours). We asked if we could order a pizza to sit in with us while we had food from the same restaurant, but was told he would have to sit outside 🤷♂️ I did raise my concerns with the restaurant manager and after been told multiple times we could not eat it in the restaurant we finally come to an arrangement. This is the only campsite I have been to where you can't order pizza to sit in the restaurant.
Although the campsite was fantastic I would probably look for another campsite that would accommodate less picky eaters.
Amazing place
Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Feb 2024 This has to be one of the prettiest sites I have stayed at. The A75 can be a bit noisy when the ferries come in as the wagons seem to travel in convoy from Stranraer, but if you're in the lower touring section, it's fine - even up the top I think it'd be ok. It was absolutely fine overnight!
The facilities are spotless and there's loads of showers and toilets. The showers are proper showers too. No ridiculous button to press!!!
The sports bar isn't chic, but it's like a blissful blast from the past and stacked full of TVs and a recovered (looks like new) pool table. The entertainment venue is sport on for what it is. We tended to be in the sports bar though.
Take away food is made from the main kitchen, it's fine, but we tended to cook - quite simple stuff, not stupid expensive but not cheap. The restaurant/bar has incredible views, words don't do the view justice. Drinks are reasonable for a holiday park.
The shop on site is really well stocked. Not as cheap as your local super market, but very reasonable process considering its location, and a fraction of most large holiday parks.
We'll definitely be back, I think they've got a perfect sweet spot of making money but not ripping the customer off. We all loved it and are really looking forward to coming back.
Great spot
Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Feb 2024 The staff were friendly and very helpful. Great fun with the grandkids, I will definitely come back with them.
Good sized pitches and the toilets were spotless.
The food and bar drinks were reasonably priced and had large helpings.
Beautiful part of Scotland
Twin Axle Caravan - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Oct 2023 First time visiting this beautiful site, every member of staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful when asked a question.
Lizz and Meg are great with the kids and that was much appreciated.
Nice site
Single Axle Caravan - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Oct 2023 We really enjoyed our stay at the park, however, we're really disappointed with the freezing cold swimming pool!
Had pre-booked swimming however, they had a boiler issue and the pool was extremely cold, yet still was charged full price which I didn't think was right as it was not enjoyable!
Swimming pool also had lots of dirt floating in it and the changing rooms were not very clean. Otherwise, we enjoyed the location and would stay again.
Uncompassionate staff, noisy and not dog friendly Motorhome - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Oct 2023 First of all, I'll be positive. It's a nice location, the facilities are kept clean and the views are nice. The staff in the leisure centre were friendly.
Unfortunately, we had to leave early because my elderly mother took unwell and I had to take her to the hospital. The staff refused to refund anything for the £40 of credits I had bought and the nights that we were missing out on.
When they phoned ahead of us arriving, I had a positive feeling because they seemed friendly. They encouraged me to buy the credit packs for the activities, because I was told that is "works out much better value for money". Unfortunately, what they didn't tell us is that the credit packs are not refundable.
Before my mum took unwell, we booked because it is advertised as "dog friendly", but it definitely isn't. My mum has a tiny, well-behaved dog. The dogs aren't allowed into any of the buildings at all, so when my young son and I wanted to use the facilities, my mum had to stay in the van with the dog. In the shop, my mum was at the doorway, holding the dog, and one of the shop staff was very rude to my mum, saying "get that dog out".
Even the pub wouldn't let the dog in, even though it didn't serve food. We had to have a takeaway from the restaurant, which is a restricted menu, and didn't have anything healthy.
The facilities were OK, but the "Fun swim session" was disappointing. It's advertised as an inflatables session, but only 1 or 2 of the 10 inflatable items were not burst. I tried blowing a few of them up, but they deflated quickly. The pool was cold too. My son wears a wetsuit in the pool, and he was still cold after about 35-40 minutes, so we got out early for a hot shower.
The last thing is the beach. It looks nice in the photos, and it is actually nice when you get down there, but be warned, it's very steep. Not for elderly or anyone with mobility issues.
Overall, we went there with high hopes from the positive reviews here, but unfortunately left early, with zero refund (and no compassion for my mum). Underused the facilities because they don't like dogs.
Fab weekend
VW-Type Campervan - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Oct 2023 My partner and I had a fab weekend, even though the weather was horrendous. Everyone was so friendly and staff were amazing. The park was great and amenities were fabulous. Will definitely return.
Dog friendly? Sprinter-Type Campervan - Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Sep 2023 I booked this site because it said it was dog friendly, I soon realized that that was only outside. I could not rate the facilities correctly as we weren't allowed in them with the dog, which meant that we had to sit in the van all weekend eating takeaways. Not what I expected from a dog friendly site!
