Great site. About 2 miles off the main road through Galloway, which means it feels remote and peaceful, but it's quite easy to get to the forest park or the coast. Great amenities like toilets and showers with plenty of hot water. All clean and really nice. Fire circles all around is a fantastic touch too. Everything you want from a Scottish campsite, done really well.

An absolutely beautiful place

This was my first camping experience with my son and we couldn't have had a better time. The campsite is in an absolutely stunning location with unbelievable views. The facilities are really clean and very cool. Owners are really friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back and I'd 100% recommend this place. Photos don't do it justice. Thank you 🙏🏻

Glamping - The Round House (Dog Friendly)Jun 2024

We had three fabulous nights in the roundhouse. The weather was gorgeous so that always makes things better. There is no electricity and we are not normally campers so we had no camping stove or any of the other equipment a camper may have, but there was a communal cookhouse where we could boil water and warm up our chilli. The bed was very comfortable and there are a few candles for lights (we took a rechargeable lamp from home) but it is quite dark inside. There is a log burner but it was way too hot to need it on. We barbecued one night and warmed our chilli another and then ate out with friends the other night. Sitting outside with a campfire and reading was lovely. Obviously would have been very different if we hadn't had good weather. Showers and toilets were very clean. It was quite a trek to get to them but that's the price for peace and quiet.

Lovely spot - will visit again

Great wee site in a decent location, I used as a base for a cycle and drove to a few walks in the area. Super friendly staff and facilities are great. Will definitely use again and I would recommend to anyone.

Peaceful setting

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.

Stunning and peaceful

From arrival the site was amazing, it was in a beautiful area 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!
