- Tent pitches overlooking a pond and electric pitches for tourers
- Woodland paths and trails for nature spotting on site
- Six miles from Dumfries and near the 7stanes MBT trails
Deer me! Wildlife watchers, walkers and small folk will find this roomy woodland Dumfries and Galloways park a right tonic for tired souls: pods, waterside pitches, fishing in the mill pond…and scores of species to spot including deer, foxes, red squirrels and over a hundred species of bird (some are rare, so don’t get twitchy if you don’t see them all).
Surrounded by a working farm and almost 300 acres of wooded parkland, Barnsoul Caravan Park has woodland paths and trails for the determined nature spotter; kids can get in on the action too by using the park’s Wildlife Spotter and Barnsoul Trail activity sheets. (Make it a condition that they have to fill in the sheets before you let them loose on the Big Wood natural playground: it’ll give them a nice dollop of motivation.)
Take your pick from a tent pitch overlooking the pond, an electric pitch for your wheels, or some restful accommodation already there when you arrive: Barnsoul has a family camping pod with fishing pond views and heated pods overlooking the Old Water Valley and with picnic bench, fridge, toaster and kettle (you only need to bring your sleeping bag).
The pods each come with their own firepit and disposable barbecues are allowed in the camping fields: just ask on-site wardens Rita or Brian for blocks to keep barbecues off the grass.
Facilities are restful too: a new campers’ kitchen; picnic benches; shower block with individual cubicles, vanity unit and free hot water; chemical loo disposal points; a launderette and an outside drying area.
Still too much energy from the junior campers? Barnsoul is only six miles from Dumfries and within easy driving distance of the 7Stanes mountain bike centres. Grownups might also like to know that the park is four miles from Crocketford with a village shop and two hotels for meals, and that there’s a Tesco and a Morrisons in Dumfries.

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.
