Burrowhead Holiday Village: Stunning location for camping

General

  • Spacious parkland with views over the Solway Firth and Lake District
  • Jacuzzi, sauna, café, bar, crazy golf and play area
  • Close to Scotland's most southerly golf course

Ever seen the film The Wicker Man? If at any point you found yourself admiring the stunning Scottish scenery among the sense of impending celluloid doom (understandable), you'll probably be interested to know that the scenic setting in question was the village of Burrowhead on the Solway Firth.

And in Burrowhead is Burrowhead Holiday Village, a park in this scenic setting that's in a spacious hundred acres of parkland with views over the Solway Firth to the Isle of Man and the hills of the Lake District. This is activity land – sea fishing, golf and coastal walks are all very close to hand – and there's space to chill out back on site too as Burrowhead has a Jacuzzi and a sauna.

Let the kids loose at the play area, crazy golf, amusement arcade, soft play area, ball pool playroom and toddler splash pool with slide; the park also has pitch and putt golf, a putting green, a snooker room with licensed bar, and an adults-only function room.

A shop is there if you want to buy food and fire up your own cooker, but if not, Burrowhead Holiday Village has a well-priced café serving big breakfasts and other meals. Drinks and entertainment are sorted at the Headland family bar, which also has free wifi.

Burrowhead Holiday Village has a private water supply and they recommend that guests boil the water before consumption. Dogs are welcome on site but won't be allowed in the amenity buildings.

Please note

Minimum spacing of 6 metres between pitches.

Single-sex bookings of 3 or more people (couples and immediate family members excepted) are not permitted via Pitchup.com.

The site has a private water supply - it's recommend that you boil the water before consumption.

    The lack of facilities for families...our son is autistic and we booked thinking the pool was there to use...arrived only to find out the pool is in the middle of being renovated and the arcade only opened a few hours a day.only several times a child can play at the park.

    By far the nicest campsite we have ever stayed on, lovely staff who made us feel so welcome, beautifully kept grounds and thoughtful placement of us next to the playground for the children. Toilets and showers immaculate, well stocked shop, very reasonably priced cafe and comfortable and lively bar.

    Excellent cliff top location with sea views, landscaped grounds, friendly and helpful staff. Regularly cleaned toilets/showers

    Disliked: 

    I booked an extra night via site operators and they explained the cost would be more than when booked via pitchup which made no sense? Pitchup charged me £42 for two nights, the site charged me £33 for a single night?

From the manager...

Hello thank you very much for your 10/10 review.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

With regards to the prices we have had an increase per night since you booked through Pitch up.
If you booked early in the year you got last years prices.
Hope that clarifies the difference.

Local attractions

If you're up for some angling, cast off from rocks, boats or loch near Burrowhead Holiday Village; fishing off the rocks is allowed at the Burrowhead coast and at the local beaches. All of this scenery lends itself well to walks as well: once you've wandered along the coast a bit, try the trails at Kirroughtree and through the Galloway Forest Park.

This is top birdwatching territory too, so look out/up for birds when you're around this part of coast, and it's prime dark skies land for stargazing afterwards.

Popular attractions in the area are Bladnoch Distillery, Galloway Forest Park, the book town of Wigtown and the Cream o' Galloway, a dairy farm that produces topping ice cream and has a crazy golf course.

Nearby Whithorn is where Christianity in Scotland evolved under the leadership of St Ninian; the Whithorn Story Visitor Centre and St Ninian's Cave are the main tourist draws.

Other nearby days out could include the 75 acres of child-friendly Castle Kennedy Gardens; a look at the inhabitants of Monreith Animal World, and the watersports and activities of Galloway Activity Centre (about an hour away).

Finally, the port of Cairnryan is about 40 miles away: sail to Larne in Northern Ireland from here and drive along the coast to have a day in Belfast.

Cycle routes

Find local routes on the National Cycle Network - over 12,000 miles of cycling routes.
