Unpowered grass site
Liked: The surroundings, fire pit, toilet and washing facilities and the well kept camping pitches. There was lots of space away from other campers. The little shop was also very convenient and the fishing permit very reasonably priced. There was plenty to see and do in the surrounding and lots of interesting places to explore.

Apex camping pod (five person)
Liked: Fantastic location, absolutely ideal if you're looking to hike, walk or bike around the (beautiful) nearby area. Super friendly campsite owners that were really helpful. Plenty of useful information for nearby things to do/places to eat. Very hot showers, clean toilets and really large pitches. Camping pods were good, more than enough space for 2 people - you could probably fit 4 adults in one pod! A good amount of space between each pod too, so you don't feel like you're encroaching on anyones' space. There's also good phone signal, if that's important (also wifi, but didn't use so can't comment on how good it was). There's also a small on-site shop if you've forgotten any of the essentials. Would 100% return.

Powered grass and gravel site
Liked: Toilets & showers clean, we loved the use of the boat house with our kayaks, excellent place for swimming etc , weather permitting
Disliked: No internet or Wi-Fi or phone signal could be gotten , also with young kids there is nothing at all for them , no swing park, nothing so therefore we will not be returning to this site, perfect if your just looking for a peaceful weekend cut off from everyone

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we appreciate all comments made. There is an EE mast a stones throw from the campsite, however we are on the edge of the Galloway forest so guests tend to find if they go for a wee walk they often find a signal. We do have WiFi, which can be connected to at our Info Shop, however this only covers a 25m radius, our info shop does have a comfy seat where you can sit whilst enjoying some screen time. We specifically don't have a play park as we are all about the open environment and families enjoying family time together, we do have a "borrow box" which has some games, rounders, etc, and we do hire hire bikes for kids needing to run off extra energy when they have finished exploring the woodland walks and nature reserves we have on site, however there is an abundance of local attractions that we advertise on our boards from our favourite places to visit with our own kids when they were little. Regards Michelle
