Positiv All the staff were helpful and friendly. The site was well maintained. We loved swimming in the little loch.

Positiv Loved the choice of pitch. Loved the surroundings - even the sheep were a welcomed neighbour, just not the poo, but it wasn’t an issue at all. We loved watching the lady and her dog rounding them up! Hygiene facilities were great. Always a shower or toilet available when needed and cleaned daily. Not the usual showering ordeal when camping. Hanging foldable stool in the showers for dry stuff, very useful! Gorgeous Mirror Pool right on the grounds! The owners were readily available via text whenever needed. She genuinely cares about hers guests. Campfires welcome and there are fire pits to borrow and wood on site to purchase.

Positiv Great facilities with instant hot water for showers, sinks and washing-up area. Microwave, kettle and toaster for if you don’t feel like cooking outdoors; and fridge and freezer for if you’re travelling light/ without a coolbox. Fire pits and picnic benches are scattered across the site for open use.
Very clean, toilets and showers mopped and wiped down every morning when the site was a bit busier. Honesty shop and log drops available, as well as emergency sanitary wear in the toilets.
We spent the first few nights mid-week pretty much solo on a massive pick-your-own pitch area. We had the company of a small flock of sheep, a pheasant, and in the evening a bat. Midges weren’t too bad out in the open pitch area.
Short drive to Castle Douglas for food shop/ amenties. Well situated for days out to the beach, local towns and the wider southern and western coastline.
Owner was absolutely lovely and had good recommendations for local activities, and shared some of the history of the place. She was good to investigate noise issues past curfew as well.
We’ll definitely visit again in future, we were really impressed.

Positiv Loved the space and facilities at this campsite! Actually couldn't work out why there weren't far more people there!

Positiv The site is really beautiful. You really do feel like you are at one with nature. The facilities are great, we had a fire pit and a bench table on our pitch. Very spacious. The staff we encountered were lovely and helpful. Would definitely 100% recommend.

Positiv A lovely place. Lots of space to walk my dog. On my arrival I was greeted by a gorgeous lady that warned me about a loud family and advised me to park away from them which I did. I had a really nice electric hook up. I could still hear that family though. Arguing until 10pm 😂😂. But I got a great nights sleep. In the morning I had a great walk around the estate. It’s huge. I loved it and so did my dog.

Negativ No chemical waste for Motorhome / caravan / camper.

Positiv A wonderful space inside the hut, with some stylish touches. Very well-equipped including a fire pit, fridge-freezer, microwave and kettle, all high quality. Very clean and comfortable. The site itself is huge and rolling, with space for the kids to run around and play, and the setting is beautiful. We only stayed one night, which just wasn't enough. We'll definitely be back.

We brought camping chairs, and without them it would not have been so enjoyable. There was a two-seater wooden bench which we could have dragged outside but otherwise we would not have had anything to sit on.

The sheep wandering around were delightful.

Toilets and showers were excellent: clean and hot.
