Dunlin Plots & Views

  • Well-maintained park with superb views
  • Next to Powfoot Golf Course; four miles from Annan
  • Next to a beach nature reserve
Peaceful, quiet, relaxing and nature-filled breaks are the name of the game at Queensberry Bay Holiday Park, a fab holiday park on the shores of Scotland's Solway Firth. If pubs, clubs and loud entertainment are very much not your thing, you'll find all you need here at this top-end and popular park instead, including an excellent little campers' kitchen with first-class views across the bay. The park also has excellently maintained showers and toilets, and a small licensed shop selling essentials like chocolate and the (also very well-regarded) Queensberry bacon rolls. The Queensberry team is keen to point out that those looking for golden sands might be better off heading further west along the coast; the beach here, however, is a beaut nature reserve filled with grassy knolls and pools, and a breeding ground of the protected natterjack toad. It's just the spot for Spot and other dogs too as it's a perfect place for walking the pooch.

What customers say

This park offers a beautiful coastal location with stunning views, especially from sea-facing pitches. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, alongside the immaculately clean and modern toilet and shower facilities, often described as some of the best on any site. The on-site restaurant and bar are also popular. Dog owners appreciate the dedicated walking areas and dog wash. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention occasional issues with shower temperature, WiFi reliability, and specific food offerings.

Sandside electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Had a pitch overlooking Solway Firth which was lovely. Liked The Sandpiper Cafe which saved us cooking one night. Good roomy shower/toilet cubicles.

Disliked Better choice of ales in the cafe. The water in the shower went from tepid to cold to warm etc. Had we been there longer than two nights I would have mentioned it.
