About Galloway Activity Centre

By the waterside you'll find back to nature grass pitches making up a small campsite, all without electric but offering lovely views. Grass pitches without electric are provided for tents, caravans, motorhomes and all are welcome to stay and take advantage of all the activities. Glampers, on the other hand, have a fantastic range of options. You can relax in a fully furnished glamping dome, cosy up around the stove in a yurt or even book a cosy camping cabin with beds and electricity inside. If you're staying in the yurt or camping cabins, be sure to bring a sleeping bag and camping stove for your meals. If you're under canvas and fancy a night indoors, you can always book a cosy night in the bunkhouse with its self contained facilities. And the ultimate in luxury is the eco bothies which have their own hot tubs, bedrooms and furnished interiors.

Loch Ken is non-tidal and very safe, making it paradise for outdoor adventurers. You can make a splash with windsurfing, paddle sports, boating and much much more.

And back on land you might choose to get competitive with some laser combat games, test your head for heights with some climbing or just try a bike ride. The zip wire is a favourite with guests!
