  • 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.

Sandside electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked It was -for the most part - peaceful and quiet with great views over the solway. Food at the cafe/bar was great and very tasty.

Disliked Shower area - good large areas for showering in but it was a push button system that only gave about 30seconds of flow before having to push again which caused the water to cool considerably for a few seconds.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your lovely photos of the views across the Solway. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, beautiful views and tasty food in our café/bar.

We appreciate your comments regarding the push-button showers and apologise for the inconvenience caused by the short bursts of water and changes in temperature. Your feedback is important to us, and we will pass this on to our team for review.

It’s wonderful to hear that you would recommend us to friends and plan to visit again. We look forward to welcoming you back to Queensberry Bay in the future!

Kind regards,
Team Verdant.
