  • Adults-only touring pitches on a Dumfries & Galloway livestock farm
  • Castle Douglas less than 10 mins' drive; close to 7Stanes bike trails
  • Spacious wildlife haven with easy access from the A75
It's a rural outlook indeed at Mollance Farm Campsite, where you’ll wake up to lake views and and often spot wildlife (such as red kites, moorhens, hares and deer) around the place as well as the farm animals that call this livestock farm home permanently. Despite this deeply rural outlook, it’s remarkably easy to get to this corner of the Dumfries & Galloway countryside, as Mollance Farm is just off the A75 for easy journeys in, out and all about. That also means it’s convenient to get to places like Castle Douglas (less than 10 minutes’ drive away) for fuel, restaurants and foodie supplies. There’s a supermarket here, but this foodie town is primarily known for its 50 or so independent businesses, so it’s worth taking the time to explore those for a good taste of the area. Elsewhere nearby you can take it easy with beach days and strolls around historic sites or up the adrenaline levels with a whole lot of adventure activities including the 7Stanes mountain bike trails at Dalbeattie (15 minutes’ drive). Whichever approach you opt for, you’ll be coming back to an adults-only site where the touring pitches are sizeable enough to accommodate any size of caravan or motorhome, plus a car and an awning. Toilet and shower facilities are provided, and maintained to a high standard of appearance and cleanliness. Dogs are welcome but will need to be kept on a lead so they don’t upset the livestock.

What customers say

This tranquil, adult-only site on a working farm offers large, level pitches and excellent, clean individual toilet and shower facilities, some featuring heating. Guests appreciate the peaceful rural location with beautiful views and opportunities for dog walking, although it's noted as remote for day trips. Some visitors encountered issues with inconsistent hot water for showers and a lack of dishwashing facilities. Minor issues with signage and bin emptying have been noted, with managers responding to feedback.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked clean and tidy pitches with 2 sides one for caravans the other for motor homes/campervans each having its own toilet block back to back. Names for the pitches go on a board but ours wasn’t on it. A quick call and all sorted. Staff even cleaned the toilet block so it was spotless for our overnight stay. Just one other campervan. Very quiet no background light so the stars were out bright

Local attractions

Your first visit around here should be to the atmospheric ruin a short walk away in the farm grounds – it’s been there since the late 19th century. Once you’ve seen that, set off to see some more of the area’s history at Cairn Holy (half an hour’s drive), a set of neolithic chambers that are more than 4000 years old, and Threave Castle (10 minutes), built in 1369. More in the mood for activity? Take your mountain bikes to the downhill trails of 7Stanes: Dalbeattie (15 minutes), or head over to Galloway Activity Centre (20 minutes) for things like watersports, high ropes courses, laser tag and a go on the wobbly waterpark. For more chilled-out days, take a walk along the plant-filled paths of Broughton House & Garden (20 minutes), look out for big birds at the Red Kite Centre, Laurieston (15 minutes) or hit the beach – Rockcliffe, Sandyhills and Dalavan beaches are all around 20 minutes away, and all good options for a day out (and they’re dog friendly too).
