  • Adults-only touring pitches on a Dumfries & Galloway livestock farm
  • Castle Douglas less than 10 mins' drive; close to 7Stanes bike trails
  • Spacious wildlife haven with easy access from the A75
It's a rural outlook indeed at Mollance Farm Campsite, where you’ll wake up to lake views and and often spot wildlife (such as red kites, moorhens, hares and deer) around the place as well as the farm animals that call this livestock farm home permanently. Despite this deeply rural outlook, it’s remarkably easy to get to this corner of the Dumfries & Galloway countryside, as Mollance Farm is just off the A75 for easy journeys in, out and all about. That also means it’s convenient to get to places like Castle Douglas (less than 10 minutes’ drive away) for fuel, restaurants and foodie supplies. There’s a supermarket here, but this foodie town is primarily known for its 50 or so independent businesses, so it’s worth taking the time to explore those for a good taste of the area. Elsewhere nearby you can take it easy with beach days and strolls around historic sites or up the adrenaline levels with a whole lot of adventure activities including the 7Stanes mountain bike trails at Dalbeattie (15 minutes’ drive). Whichever approach you opt for, you’ll be coming back to an adults-only site where the touring pitches are sizeable enough to accommodate any size of caravan or motorhome, plus a car and an awning. Toilet and shower facilities are provided, and maintained to a high standard of appearance and cleanliness. Dogs are welcome but will need to be kept on a lead so they don’t upset the livestock.

What customers say

This quiet country campsite gets top marks for its lovely spot and peace. Easy to get to, with clean, well-kept facilities like private shower blocks. Campers love the flat spots, wildlife and walks. A few noted dodgy signs and no dishwashing. Overall, a highly recommended, chill spot with great amenities.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked The space of the pitches was lovelly and the lady and gent were very welcoming.

Disliked See through glass doors on the toilets and shower? Everyone was very uncomfortable with this although frosted you can still see people !

The farm dogs running at you and your dog barking and chasing them anytime you moved. The dogs are also free roaming so would run up to your awning barking at your dogs and you.

Showers were lovely if you was lucky enough to get hot water. Not many people on site but still had many a stone cold shower and being disabled this made my day very uncomfortable / difficult

Tried morning and night and from 7 days there was two hot showers. Ok if you didn’t mind having to turn the shower off to wait for it to drain halfway through. (Both showers )

Liked Lovely peaceful rural location, easy access off the main road, large level pitches, clean WC/shower facilities, drive over grey waste disposal & chemical waste empty.

Disliked Minor details, but the bins were full and the signage into and on the site isn't great.

Liked The beautiful scenery surrounding the site and walks available with my dog. The shower and toilet facilities were very good and clean. Water available and recycling facilities I liked. I liked the extra long extension cable being there as I only have a short cable.

Disliked The only thing that would have been helpful to me is a dishwashing facility as I have a tiny camper, but I did manage to cope.

Local attractions

Your first visit around here should be to the atmospheric ruin a short walk away in the farm grounds – it’s been there since the late 19th century. Once you’ve seen that, set off to see some more of the area’s history at Cairn Holy (half an hour’s drive), a set of neolithic chambers that are more than 4000 years old, and Threave Castle (10 minutes), built in 1369. More in the mood for activity? Take your mountain bikes to the downhill trails of 7Stanes: Dalbeattie (15 minutes), or head over to Galloway Activity Centre (20 minutes) for things like watersports, high ropes courses, laser tag and a go on the wobbly waterpark. For more chilled-out days, take a walk along the plant-filled paths of Broughton House & Garden (20 minutes), look out for big birds at the Red Kite Centre, Laurieston (15 minutes) or hit the beach – Rockcliffe, Sandyhills and Dalavan beaches are all around 20 minutes away, and all good options for a day out (and they’re dog friendly too).
