What customers say
This immaculately clean and well-maintained site is praised for its friendly and helpful staff, peaceful atmosphere, and excellent facilities, including a games room and spacious pitches. Visitors particularly enjoyed the lovely dog walking field with river access. Its convenient location near Dumfries is also a highlight. A recurring suggestion is for additional toilet and shower facilities, particularly for peak times, and some found the placement of showers within the games room slightly awkward. Overall, the site is highly recommended for its quality and value.

Tidy, could do with separate dedication wash facilities and toilets.
Electric gravel pitch
Liked Nice surroundings, close to Town.
Disliked Most staff were nice but one individual at the park was rather grumpy/abrupt. We found the toilet and shower situation a bit odd, having one of the two ‘domestic type’ showers at the end of the games room where children were playing and the other attached to reception a walk away.

Clean and tidy, with friendly staff. Pitches were well spaced out.
Electric gravel pitch
Liked Very peaceful site close to Dumfries and with easy access to activities either along the coast to sandy beaches or into the hills and forests for walking and biking. Appreciated the large field adjacent to the site to walk the dog.
Will come back.
Disliked Not very keen on the showers and toilets that were accessed through the indoor play area.

Best site we have ever stayed on.
Electric gravel pitch
Liked Site was obsolutely spotless. Very helpful manager. Facilities were immaculate. Showers and toilets immaculate and checked several times a day. Lovely hot shower and plenty of room for changing and dry clothes etc. Indoor washing up area with detergents etc supplied. Without a doubt, the best equipped and cleanest site we have visited, despite it's more than reasonable cost. Used our own WiFi although site WiFi was available. No children with us, but safe and tidy site would be ideal for children. Pool room and games available.
