What customers say
This is a quiet, well-maintained campsite with friendly staff and a fantastic location close to the beach. Pitches are generally spacious and well-kept, with good access to water. Facilities, particularly the shower blocks, are noted as dated by some but are consistently described as clean and functional. It's considered good value for money, though dog charges are seen as high by some. Ideal for those seeking peace and proximity to coastal walks.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked The site was perfect for us & very quiet, we were two adults, 11yr old granddaughter & two Akita dogs
If you want the ritz then this place isn’t for you, it’s dated but clean & more than adequate & the grounds are really well kept
We had a touring pitch for our motorhome with awning, we also had electric hookup & again the size of pitch was great (if you can get the end pitch it’s the best one)
Just over the road which isn’t too busy your straight onto the beach(solway coast) which if you have dogs or just like to walk I doubt you’l find a better one when the tides out
We walked into Siloth for fish & chips on the sand which was roughly 70mins steady stroll while our granddaughter found crabs & loads of shells, there is also a pathway if the tides in
Siloth is a lovely town & was very busy
Just a heads up if your booking a touring pitch, there is mostly residential pitches with only 4 or 5 touring pitches which doesn’t bother us as the residents know all the local things to do & where to go but just thought I would mention
All in all we had a great time at Rowanbank so keep up the good work & we’l see you again

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Good sized pitch. Quiet site. Easy beach access across the road. Nice sized shower blocks, all recycling, waste disposal etc in one area. Tap by pitch.
Disliked Nice site but £4 per night for a dog is a bit steep, there are no facilities ie dog field, not even a specific dog bin. Bumps the price up considerably if you had 2 dogs or were staying for a few nights.

Great place to pitch up, walk the beaches and relax in the quiet
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked I am thankful I found the review that questioned others’ comments on the loos and chose to book this site. We loved it here. So close to the beach across the road and pitched in a quiet field at the top of the caravan spaces. We could not fault here and encourage others to book. For tents, you turn up and choose where to camp up in a field that is clean, tidy and recently mowed. Beautiful views over Criffel to the West and Cumbrian hills of the Lake District to the East. Double whammie of sunrises and sunsets.
The whole park is pristine and secured by residents keycard to open and close the gate.
The showers were piping hot, plenty of water and housed within a toilet block that was always immaculate and well stocked of tp.
We are lucky to have found a campsite that is quiet and suitable for us and our dogs, so close to our homes. We will be back, simply waiting to see the weather in the next couple of weeks.

Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Friendly welcome and given all the info we needed. Great pitch size with easy access to water.
Good location for beach and on cycle routes.
Disliked As others have stated, shower block could do with modernisation or at least the removal of spiders and webs etc before it has to be used by campers.

Liked Everything was perfect. On reading previous reviews about the toilet and shower blocks, I found nothing wrong. They were clean and nothing like the what the previous reviews said. I would go again. Friendly helpful staff.
