Braids Caravan Park Reviews

2 great nights bliss

just had 2 nights here weather was great the site was very clean and quiet, facilities were spotless the site is well laid out will be back

Stop-off site

Nice clean site, close to shops and not to far off motorway.

Not too bad a site, but has issues

Site is okay, but I think the pitches could do with some updating. The toilets and showers are clean but again could do with some updating. Charging £30 per night and having to pay for showers and hairdryers is taking the micky a bit. We have stayed at cheaper sites and no need to pay for showers or hairdryers. Would be best suited to an occasional stopover. Shops are a short walk as well as some takeaways.

Nice site

Upon arrival, nice experience. Quiet site, nice pitch. No complaints.

Nice and quiet

So yes, showers are 20p but that's for 10 mins and ample time. The place was clean and well maintained. When we got to the desk, I was given precise clear instruction on what to do etc. Pitches were a good size and well maintained. The site is just off a main road but there was little traffic and no noise at night. Great place easy to get to and comfy.

Stop over

Great stop off location on the way to England, reception very helpful and short walk to the pub and outlet.

Our visit

Lovely site. Unfortunately, the toilets and showers seemed tired and in need of updating. The gents toilet in the middle of the site smelt of stale pee. It was not new pee, it was bad drains or pipe work.

One night is fine

Ok for staying one night.

1 night stay

Great little campsite warm shower clean facilities. Could maybe cut some of the trees back in motorhome areas so it is less shaded apart from that great stay. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you

Lovely little site for first timers. Just a little issue that was no Wi-Fi on park and no service for tv antenna. We had to talk to each other! But lovely site and lady on reception was fantastic. Couldn't fault the facilities- spotless!

Great location

Compact and friendly site in a great location for the town and for exploring the surrounding area. Toilet block locks were a bit sticky but quickly got the knack of opening them.

Lovely little site

We booked this site for a motorhome with an awning. The site is very peaceful, secure and clean and within walking distance of local amenities. There are several pubs serving food within a half mile walk from the site. There are several convenience stores within walking distance and there is a designer outlet also within easy walking distance, although there is plenty of parking there are well (get there early if you have want to get a motorhome parked). Gretna Green and the famous blacksmiths is a couple of miles away. Easy to cycle or walk to. There is a large car park at the visitor centre in Gretna Green. Worth a visit. Back to the site itself - our motorhome habitation door is on the right hand side of the van and we were right on the end of a row of pitches, next to a small tree, so facing nose out meant there was no way we could get an awning up or even put our canopy out due to the small tree in the way. We could have driven forward into the pitch, but when we read the list of rules, we realised that we couldn't use our awning anyway because you are not allowed to use groundsheets of any kind on the grass and our awning has a built in groundsheet. Their site does not mention this so it's something to be mindful of. Our awning is also rather large and would have been touching the caravan next to us if we had put it up. We were very lucky with the weather, so the awning was not a deal breaker, but had it been raining, we wouldn't have had anywhere to put wet or muddy gear. I think if I was returning, I would go for a super pitch instead so there was plenty of room for an awning and they are fully hardstanding. The site was clean and staff were friendly. The showers are coin operated and take 20 pence pieces. You can get these from reception within opening hours if you need them. Toilets and shower blocks are locked and you are given a key at check in and a fob for the barriers. Park has free Wi-Fi, although we didn't have much success connecting to it, but it might be better closer to the park reception. Site is well situated and close to the motorway for onward travel. If you are sensitive to road noise at night, this might not be the site for you. Personally, it didn't bother me, but I could hear it when I woke up through the night. All in all, a lovely little site and I would stay there again if in the area.

Well run, pleasant site

Just off the motorway at Gretna, this site is ideally placed for a short visit to the Debateable Lands. It's also an ideal stop over site if you are heading further north or crossing the border to England. Friendly, clean and efficient. Be good to make the showers included in the pitch price and replace key locks on doors to the facilities with a key pad.

Weekend away

Nice little site situated in Gretna and close to shops. A good pitch size, the facilities were adequate and clean. Good motorhome service area. My only issue and it is very small issue, was the road noise as it was close to the main road through Grenta and I could hear the A75. The staff were lovely.
