Liked Absolutely loved our overnight stay here. Wish we could have stayed longer. Facilities were great - everything we needed. Spotless site. Warm welcome with lots of information given about the site and the local area. Adjacent to a large field for dog walking - well maintained, next to river with well cut paths and benches. Mostly level gravel pitches. Easy check in. Near to bus stop for Dumfries. Good WiFi. Can’t comment highly enough about this site.

Disliked Nothing at all

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a kind review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.

Liked Second time staying here in our campervan and still one of our favourites. Check-in time was a little confusing (Pitch Up said 11am, site said 3pm) but the team kindly let us on from 11am. Facilities are excellent, the site is beautiful with scenic walks around the lake and woods, and it was wonderfully peaceful – exactly what we wanted.

Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: Hi Leanne, Thanks you kindly for this delightful review! We love that you loved it . We look forward to welcoming you again sometime:)

Liked We stayed at Happy Valley Camping in our campervan for one night and absolutely loved it. The location is stunning, with amazing views overlooking the Calder Valley – a really peaceful spot to wake up to. The site itself was clean and well looked after. The host was warm and welcoming, even coming round with water which was a thoughtful touch. It’s a small, friendly site that feels tucked away, yet it’s easy to get to and within a 20-minute walk of a pub, which made for a nice evening stroll. It felt safe, quiet, and relaxing – a perfect stopover, but also somewhere we’d happily spend more time.

Disliked The site itself doesn’t really have any major downsides. Access could be a bit tricky in wintry conditions, and some of the pitches aren’t completely flat, but these are only small considerations in an otherwise excellent stay.

Liked Flaxton Meadows is one of the best sites we’ve visited. An amazingly warm welcome from Martin who couldn’t do enough to ensure our stay was the best it could be. Being adult only meant the site was peaceful. The electric hard-standing pitches are huge, well-spaced and level. The bar is great with very reasonably priced drinks and the pizza wagon is a fantastic addition. The pizza, garlic bread and fries we had were delicious. The washroom facilities were stunning. Designed in a Flaxton Boulevard fashion, with music; they were super clean and had everything you needed. Pot wash and clothes washing facilities also spot on. A lovely nature walk around the site is nice touch. We found the mini electric lawn mower-bots quirky; they also contributed to the calm atmosphere - no mower noise you can get at grassy sites. Can’t wait to return!

Disliked Would be good if there were gluten-free options at the pizza wagon. We couldn’t work the dog wash.

From the manager: Thank you Leanne for taking the time to leave such a great review, and we have noted your comments and suggestions made. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and glad you liked the pizzas. We hope we can welcome you back very soon.

Liked Thought this site was fantastic. Really warm reception and shown to our pitch. Had a choice of pitches. Facilities were nothing special but everything we needed. Clean and well maintained. Our pitch was level and others looked so too. Excellent access to all areas of the forest and a short walk to Go Ape. Dark skies area so had some amazing views of the night sky. It’s a popular site - was very busy but didn’t feel crowded or noisy (except by the kid’s play area). Will definitely revisit.

Disliked Would give 4.5 stars if I could. Just knocked off 0.5 stars for poorly stocked shop.
