  • Well-maintained park with superb views
  • Next to Powfoot Golf Course; four miles from Annan
  • Next to a beach nature reserve
Peaceful, quiet, relaxing and nature-filled breaks are the name of the game at Queensberry Bay Holiday Park, a fab holiday park on the shores of Scotland's Solway Firth. If pubs, clubs and loud entertainment are very much not your thing, you'll find all you need here at this top-end and popular park instead, including an excellent little campers' kitchen with first-class views across the bay. The park also has excellently maintained showers and toilets, and a small licensed shop selling essentials like chocolate and the (also very well-regarded) Queensberry bacon rolls. The Queensberry team is keen to point out that those looking for golden sands might be better off heading further west along the coast; the beach here, however, is a beaut nature reserve filled with grassy knolls and pools, and a breeding ground of the protected natterjack toad. It's just the spot for Spot and other dogs too as it's a perfect place for walking the pooch.

What customers say

Great spot, tidy grounds, ace facilities (showers, dog park). Staff were ripper, sea views unreal, good spot for a wander. Food and dog-friendly pub got a thumbs up. Tiny hiccups with shower scrub and drinks range, passed on to the managers.

Dunlin powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Pitches are large with nice views and friendly staff. Liked the bar area, however didnt eat in the bar.

Disliked Having an additional cost for wifi. It says on the site, wifi although its 5.00 for 24 hours.
Only available in reception and bar.

Visited the site a few times and with the additional cost of wifi probably wont return.
