What customers say
This harbourside campsite is praised for its fantastic location with beautiful marina views and easy access to the beach and town. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Facilities, particularly the individual shower/toilet blocks, are frequently noted as immaculate and modern. The on-site cafe receives positive mentions for its food and coffee. While the site is generally quiet and well-maintained, some guests found the number of showers and toilets limited during peak times, and a few noted the pitches could be a little close together.

We will definitely return. Dislikes are minor, we love the location
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked - Proximity to the marina and beach is excellent and pitch views look out to the lighthouse and beyond across the Solway Firth and the hills of Dumfries and Galloway.
- Clean toilets and showers, accessed by a fob to prevent public access (see point below in dislikes)
- On site cafe within a couple of minutes walk with good food and coffee, served by friendly staff.
- Town just a few minutes walk away (normally - the bridge was in repair while we were there which made the walk/drive much further)
- Friendly Marina staff on check in and check out
- pitch 16 was a good location, a short grass mound behind gave some privacy from the walk way alongside the dock (so our dogs couldn’t see other dogs!)
- WiFi signal was strong and reliable, we watched YouTube using it and had no issues.
- nearby Lidl supermarket was well stocked and easy to access in our campervan.
- The marina dock is close which is great and even with passers-by it’s still a quiet area.
Disliked - We arrived on the day of the town festival/carnival and were not warned to only try and access the site by a specific route to avoid road closures
- pitches were of the smaller end of those we’ve seen - particularly with the next point in mind ->
- no guidance given about side of pitch to put awnings onto - it meant we were hemmed into our pitch on some days because both pitches either side were facing onto our area. One neighbour had an enormous tent (not awning) next to his van (not campervan) which took up more than half the shared area. Luckily we were leaving anyway.
- The site is a little exposed to the public. You need a fob to enter and exit in a vehicle which gives security, but foot access is open to the side of the site so everyone can walk along the dockside and to the cafe. Not a huge issue but something to be aware of.
- waste recycling is limited to glass only.
