  • 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

Mollance is a small, quiet, adults-only campsite located on a working farm, praised for its peaceful rural setting, beautiful views, and abundant wildlife. Pitches are spacious and level, and facilities, including individual toilet and shower rooms, are consistently described as immaculate, clean, warm, and well-maintained, with excellent water pressure and temperature. Owners are frequently mentioned as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Minor issues raised include inconsistent hot water on occasion, a lack of a washing-up area, and initial signage confusion, all of which appear to have been addressed by management.

Arthur B. 1 review

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Quite place

Disliked Missed the hospitality as seen on other farmer camp sites.
First location of 5 pitches is in a round circle standing on pebbles, missing the green surroundings. Missing the lake view. Mismatch on our expectations of a farmers camping. Probably our fault that we have assumed it was green. Left one day earlier.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Very peaceful

Disliked Quite difficult to know which pitch to go to when your name isnt on the board. Never met the owners once and we were there for a week. Be prepared to clean the toilets and empty the bins yourself!!

Liked Good toilet and shower facilities. Good water pressure and temperature. Beautiful location and very peaceful. Adults only. Would always choose Mollance if in this area.

Disliked Whilst we accept it’s a working farm some of the vehicles travel fast on the farm roads.

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).
