What customers say
This is a well-maintained, clean, and quiet site with friendly and helpful staff. Pitches are spacious and level, and amenities, including showers and a games room, are highly praised. A standout feature is the large, secure dog walking field adjacent to a river. Its proximity to Dumfries and local amenities is also noted. Some guests mentioned a desire for more toilet and shower facilities, particularly during busy periods, and occasional road noise was noted. Overall, guests highly recommend the site and many plan to return.
