  • Quiet park within walking distance of Gatehouse of Fleet
  • In a wildlife haven and a few miles from the coast
  • Use of sister park with pool, restaurant, gym and solarium
If you're after a quieter vibe at a family holiday park in Dumfries and Galloway, you'll very much like Anwoth Caravan Park. This is the sister site of Auchenlarie Holiday Park (also on Pitchup.com), in a peaceful wildlife haven setting near the pretty town of Gatehouse of Fleet and in an area that's inspired Scottish bards and artists for centuries. But – what genius – guests at Anwoth can also use the facilities at Auchenlarie, which is about four miles/seven minutes' drive along the A75 (turn right on leaving Anwoth and look for Auchenlarie signposted on the left) and which has a heated indoor pool, restaurant, takeaway and leisure centre with gym and solarium among loads loads more. Entertainment and leisure passes are available for day use, short breaks or weekly stays: buy on arrival at Anwoth. But back to the peace and quiet… Anwoth is in an area where you can sit still and see a lot of wildlife: herds of deer regularly roam the surrounding landscape, you might see otters if you're very very quiet, and you'll likely spy birds of prey and red squirrels among the many local species. This is also serious angling locale, particularly for salmon and trout fishing in the nearby rivers Esk, Annan, Nith, Ken, Dee and Cree. Anwoth has a launderette, washing facilities and a shower and toilet block on site. Restaurants, cafés, bars, craft shops and a well-stocked convenience store are at Gatehouse of Fleet a short walk away; the town has a local bus service too.

What customers say

This is a meticulously maintained, clean, and quiet campsite with exceptional, modern toilet and shower facilities. Staff are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The site's prime location offers easy walking access to Gatehouse of Fleet's shops, pubs, and restaurants, with numerous local walks available. While most guests had an excellent experience, a few mentioned the camping area feeling overlooked due to static homes and noted the absence of WiFi. A manager reply confirmed that the issue regarding static homes is being addressed.

Carrick 2 bedroom static caravan (pet friendly)

Liked Warm welcome from the owner as always. Great new dog friendly accommodation. Very spacious and everything you could possibly need for a gd break.
Very useful info guide included everything you could possibly want to know.
Would be useful to include in emails the few things you need to bring with you when staying for first time eg. Shower mat, soap, washing up liquid, tea towels. Our 3rd time so we know.
Overall, we love it here and will return.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Toilet and shower blocks were amazing and spotless. The staff were friendly and helpful especially when we needed to change our pitch. The campsite is well located close to pubs and shops

Disliked The camping area is surrounded by static home so you feel a bit overlooked

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found our toilet and shower facilities to be immaculate and that our staff were accommodating, especially regarding your pitch change. It is also gratifying to know that our location was convenient for your needs.

We appreciate your constructive comment about the camping area feeling somewhat overlooked due to the proximity of the static homes. Please be assured that we take such observations seriously as we continuously strive to enhance the experience for all our guests.

We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.

Local attractions

Anyone with any sense should be quite the fan of Dumfries and Galloway, for many, many reasons including its wildlife and birdwatching, its lush landscape and the evidence of its rich history, archaeology and art in its castles, towers, abbeys, earthworks and standing stones. And did you know that JM Barrie had the idea for Peter Pan while in Dumfries – and that nearby Sanquhar has the oldest post office in Scotland…? Paul, Neil and Bob (the latest generation of Swalwells to own Amwoth Caravan Park) also suggest a look at Whithorn, on the southern tip of the Machars peninsula and the seat of Christianity in Scotland, and at Lochmaben as the birthplace of Robert the Bruce. And if you like reading Rabbie, you might also like to see Dumfries, home and resting place for famed Scottish poet Robert Burns. Ecclefechan, the birth town of Thomas Carlyle, is also within reach – do be sure to have an Ecclefechan butter tart while you're there.
