What customers say
This is a popular, family-friendly site with excellent facilities including swimming pools, a cafe, and the well-regarded Lairds Inn restaurant. Visitors praise the clean, modern shower blocks and the abundance of wildlife. Pitches are generally spacious and level, with many noting the friendly and helpful staff. Some minor issues include dated facilities in certain areas and occasional traffic noise.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Nothing special, staff friendly and helpful, especially Gillian, whose help we are eternally grateful.
Nice site unfortunately did not get a chance to enjoy it.
Disliked There should be more prominent signs with regards to dogs being kept on leads, and tackled by the site staff if they are running around. As we witnessed a large husky off lead making its way towards our small dog. This resulted in my husband being assaulted by the owner when mentioned. Thanks Scotland you were very welcoming.

Good site, good food, pity about showers...
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Spacious pitches and didn't feel too cramped although there were a lot of van/motorhomes. Fairly level, we didn't use levellers although I noticed some vans had. Location ideal for exploring Dumfries and Galloway. We didn't use the swimming pool/café etc so can't comment on those. The playpark was very popular with children, looked a good site for families. 11 pm quiet rule adhered to when we were there. Site was clean.
Laird's Inn was very busy on the Saturday night, 5 stars to the staff who worked there and kept everything running smoothly. Food good, as was the beer. You do need to book online as it was fully booked when we were there. (Simple process!)
Rules on website said no gazebos/awnings/pup tents but there were quite a few in use.
Would possibly use again as a one night stop . We do prefer smaller sites, but size hasn't put us off (see dislikes).
Disliked Oh dear, the toilets/showers! The "ensuite" idea does not seem to be working, more like a very wet/dirty room. Showers weren't fully enclosed and cloakroom sized hand wash basins meant water leaked onto the floor, out of the cubicle and into the corridor where it mixed with footprints from people's shoes. There was a notice to asking people to mop up the floor after using. We did, BEFORE use, to try to get into a cubicle without getting too wet/dirty! No sign that over a busy weekend these were ever cleaned. Foot prints (dog prints?) left in the actual showers. We gave up trying to find a clean one and thankfully we were only there a couple of nights so gave the showers a miss.

Pretty site but cleanliness of the facilities left a lot to be desired
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Friendly staff in Reception and in the cafe. Nice site with a fair bit of privacy due to the hedges. Dog friendly apart from the slate chipping on individual pitches. Very pretty site with the castle ruins and the Laird’s Inn and spectacular sunsets over the Solway Firth. Grandkids loved the 2 pools and playground.
Disliked The lack of cleanliness of the showers, toilet and in particular the disabled facilities. The disabled toilet was not cleaned the whole time we were there. The same rubbish in and on the sink, same tissue in the shower plug, same rubbish on the floor, no hand drying facilities in there neither paper towels nor air dryer. The bolt on the door needs changing as I got stuck in there twice as the bolt is too stiff to open . Normal showers and toilets were very dirty and also the showers were slippy, despite the layers of sand in them.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Position. Excellent for exploring.
Disliked Almost everything else. Butlins comes to mind. My pitch was near the toilet block so people simply walked all over the pitch. Toilets in the morning were filthy. I booked for two nights but only stayed one. Presence of police were a definite deterrent. Will not book again.

Not bad
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The whole are was great, lairds inn was good for food
Disliked Pitches cramped in together, unisex toilets quite a let down. My young daughter couldn't go pee on her own. Long queues to the shower on the morning and big mess within
