We had a great time here. All the facilities we needed and great location for family cycling trip. Visited 4 of 7 stanes parks and cycled their green routes. On-site play areas were great for little one - couldn’t get him away. Definitely come here again.

Overall, we had a great stay. In a fantastic location overlooking the sea, plus great facilities and entertainment for the kids. My only reason for marking less stars is for the inconsistency with the cleanliness of the shower facilities. The newer blocks were spotlessly clean, heated and well looked after, although there was limited space in the shower cubicles. The older block, whilst provided more room, were not clean, dirty floors and spiders and cobwebs. There were also broken shower heads.
Gorgeous views, mostly good pitches

Had a terrible start to our stay, with winds getting near 35mph and causing our tent to partially collapse as we were in what felt like the windiest spot on site. I'd avoid 28G and 29G if possible as they're in the shade, get the shape wind and have the most midges. However, we were then allowed to move on Sat morning. I didn't find the staff very helpful at all to be honest, especially as they said we couldn't take a certain pitch as it'd been booked online but no one ever turned up? Pitch 8 was good although on a slope, which is tricky when you're in a tent and cant level it out. Taps on the pitch very helpful. Facilities clean, although almost all the toilet seats aren't attached properly. My husband said the men's were fully removed one day. One toilet block has very short motion sensor lights and temperamental hot water. The other block was lovely and warm with good water. Good size shower cubicles too and 2 washing up stations. Pitches would be safer for young kids if they had a fence up separating from the road and to stop some of the wind, as pitch 8 and 7 are directly at the bottom of a large open hill but this isn't a huge issue. The beach is all shell, so a bit sharp but lovely none-the-less. Fabulous rock pools! And only 30 mins from Galloway Forest Park which is great to explore with kids and a dog. We would definitely return here but will choose our pitch so we don't end up on 28G again.
Great stay

Great place. Fantastic facilities. Take away pizza was amazing and chippy looked great too. Arcade games were a lot more extensive than I expected. We took our bikes as it would be quite a lot of walking. The hill to the leisure complex is quite steep, so be prepared for a good little workout! We'll definitely be back!
Lovely place, would go again

A good experience. The only issue was the Wi-Fi. Without a further purchase, I could book online for the leisure facilities or keep connection. Continued to reboot. I was told they were with 02, which is a good provider, but it had several issues which we overcame. £18 charge to keep connected and thought this was strange. It was normally not a problem where we were situated. Overall it was good.

Our first time camping in a hired campervan. The site sits in the coast with a beautiful beach. The site is immaculately clean and tidy, there a lots of facilities including a large on site shop, food and entertainment options along with a sports bar, we did not use these facilities but they looked comprehensive. My only slight criticism is that our pitch was near the main road A75 which is noisy at night, but I would stay again as the site is very good.

Really nice park with a lovely beach, made better with the hot weather we had. Only slight criticism is that the toilets and showers could have been cleaned more often and there were limited vegetarian options at the restaurant, which we felt was also on the pricey side for basic dishes. Communication with the park was very good and the pitch was great. The sports bar was great and we enjoyed the beer garden and excellent service - especially nice that the barman brought all dogs water dishes over on such a hot day. All staff at the park were very helpful. We would definitely go again but avoid the restaurant and cook in our van instead.

Nice site in a great location with very good facilities. Pitch was good and level, but had dificulty hammering in pegs to hold awning up. Not enough toilets, showers for amount of campers.
Very good value for money, would definitely go back again

Location was ideal with lots of play areas around the site for the kids. Shop and restaurant were reasonably priced. Swimming pool, amusement arcade, soft play area, pool table, entertainment - bingo on a night and activities for kids on a daytime. Staff were very friendly. Showers and toilets were cleaned and restocked daily. Only downside was that the camping pitches were close to the main road, which gets very busy on a night with lorries going past frequently, but after the first night we got used to it. Also had a beach close by, which was lovely.
Very noisy site

Very noisy site due to proximity to A75. With a continuous stream of HGV's trundling past yards from my tent. Some of the drivers found it amusing to blast their horn at 3am also. I left early due to lack of sleep. The site itself was quite good with decent amenities and entertainment. It was quite cramped for tents with pitches too close together. Altogether, it is not a place I would want to return to.

Great place to visit with kids. Swimming pool and play park facilities were great. Every single member of staff we encountered was really helpful and very welcoming! We used the takeaway one evening and the restaurant one lunch time and were really impressed with the food and service. Pizza was delicious!

This was our first time visiting the park and can only say we will be back. We were sited on the touring circles near the toilet/shower block which was always clean and I must say modern. Good facilities on site for food and entertainment. Lots to do in the area and to explore. Thank you to the team for their recommendations.
The perfect weekend!

First time camping as a family with a 6 and 3 year old. What could go wrong? Nothing, it was great! Pitches all have electric and water tap, nice flat area and plenty of space for our 6 man tent and good space left over for either gazebo or overflow chill space. Facilities very clean and regularly serviced, though there was a toilet roll shortage for a few hours, so take a few spares just in case. Complex a few minutes walk away has a reasonably priced restaurant and takeaway. There is a pool, sauna and gym with access included in your complimentary entertainment pass. Also has entertainment for the kids and later on, for the adults, also included. Only additions if you wanted were some activities and soft play, but was only a few quid so no big deal. We didn't need it as we had plenty to do with the inclusive activities. We did fun swim, drawing and paper aeroplanes, kids disco, and decorating photo frames. Also, there is a little beach cove on the site which is a little steep on the walk down but a cracking spot on a nice day! For our first trip, it was excellent and we've rebooked for a couple of months time! Highly recommend.

Great campsite with loads available to do onsite. Easy booking and check in/out. Camping spots are near the road so the noise takes a bit of getting used to.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
