  • 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.

Dunlin electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Large pitches with direct access to EHU and water. Toilet and showering facilities were 1st class. Large dog park was great.

Disliked No drain for emptying grey waste. Had to to be done manually via a bucket.

Dunlin electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Not been here before. Julia was brilliant on Reception. Very welcoming and friendly with excellent customer skills. The touring pitch was very adequate and the facilities available for toilets and showers were super clean and a real luxury.
Great to be able to get a really reasonable pitch but have fantastic facilities to use around you. The bar and eating facilities were lovely too with great views outside. I’ve travelled up and down the UK to Scotland and stayed on a lot of sites and very rarely do you get all that in one place.
Great stay, albeit short, but will definitely return.

Disliked Nothing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi there, what a fantastic review—thank you! We're absolutely delighted you had such a great first visit and that Julia helped start it off on such a high note. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the pitch, spotless facilities, and everything the site has to offer. We’re especially proud to hear your kind words given your extensive travels—that truly means a lot. Can’t wait to welcome you back for a longer stay next time!

Dunlin electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely spacious flat pitches fully serviced. Clean and spacious shower/toilet block.
Pub / restaurant on site with good live entertainment on Saturday evening. Beach is amazing and a few minutes from the site. Stayed a couple of nights with friends in motorhomes, allocated pitches were great. Reception staff were super friendly and very helpful. Great dog walking area with agility equipment and open fields to the rear of the pitches.

Disliked Food in the restaurant was questionable for the price but only needed to eat there once. Edible but as there was an event taking place ,presumably for owners and guests who paid the buffet fee, may have been concentrating on that. Again , questionable for the price as lots seemed left over. Wouldn’t let this put us off staying again as usually cater for ourselves.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the spacious pitches, clean facilities, and friendly reception team. It’s wonderful to hear the beach and dog walking areas added to your experience. We appreciate your comments about the restaurant and will take them into consideration. We’re glad it won’t deter you from visiting again and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Dunlin electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Excellent shower facilities. Toilet, sink and shower in same cubicle and spotlessly clean with plenty of room and little touches that many sites don't think of such as a seat, hooks etc.
Nice bar/restaurant reasonably priced with good size portions and good food.
Friendly staff. Decent WiFi
Highly recommended

Disliked Only negative point was grey water point. Have to lift about 6 inch onto drain area which is difficult.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the excellent shower facilities, well-priced restaurant, and friendly staff. We appreciate your comments about the grey water point and will pass them along for review. Hope to welcome you back again soon!
