Rural dog-friendly site by a river 10 minutes’ drive from Dumfries
A five-minute drive from Dalscone Farm Fun; half an hour from the sea
Modern showers and disabled facilities; awnings provided; shop nearby

If you’re after a well-serviced spot to park up for the night or are looking to stick around and explore stunning Dumfries and Galloway, you’ve hit upon the right spot. Newbridge Country Park is a modern holiday park that handily suits both purposes, being half an hour’s drive from the M74 (for journeys to the Highlands or south to the Lakes) and about the same distance from beaches and historic castles. Set in several acres of countryside, the holiday park is only just off the A76, so there's no need to navigate country lanes or side roads to get there. It has spectacular views over the hills of Galloway Forest Park (half an hour’s drive), where you can soon be out exploring on foot or by bike. Anglers can cast for brown trout at Alderneuk Fishery or fly fish for salmon (in season) on the River Nith (both 15 minutes), and there are a couple of golf courses within 15 minutes’ drive too. The lively town of Dumfries (10 minutes) is a surefire bet for picking up food or any other bits and bobs. If you’re having a break from the stove, take your pick of cosy pubs, organic cafés and restaurants serving local Scottish produce while you’re there. There's another shop five minutes' walk from the site. Back at base camp, all the pitches are neatly landscaped, and spotless facilities on the site include a shower block with wet rooms and a laundry room, plus chemical disposal. There is also a games room with a pool table, football table and comfortable seating.

Our pitch looking out over the countryside

Countryside location next to river with dog walking

Time to chill and take in the miles of countryside views and peace

Our pitch was in a very nice sheltered spot with trees alongside and behind us.

Modern, spotless, friendly staff and beautiful surroundings.

Denice C. May 2025

Powered gravel campsite

Liked: Well run and spotlessly clean site, with all the facilities you'd need -loo's, showers, wash up and laundry. Small games room is a nice touch too. Pitches are a good size and set well back from the road. Only 15 park-ups so doesn't feel crowded or get noisy. Large field for dog-walking by the river. Dog-friendly cafe nearby and a good location for exploring all D&G has to offer. The owners clearly put a lot of love and work into the site and it shows.

Disliked: Not a 'dislike' but a poo bin by the dog field would be handy and some more recycling facilities nearer the pitches.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Denise thank you so much for your wonderful detailed review, especially saying it's probably the cleanest site you've ever been on!

It means a lot to the team when they get appreciated for all their hard work and attention to detail, from how the site looks, to all the facilities we have to offer, to make sure our guests have an enjoyable stay with us.

We are pleased you liked our large field for dog walking. It is something we pride ourselves on and why a lot of our guests return with their 4 legged friends.

Denise with reference to a doggie poo bin by the dog walking field, there is a green refuse bin at the bottom of the path from the dog walking area. The recycling facilities are only a short walk away, compared to some sites where they can be a longer walk away.

Thank you again for your wonderful review Denise. We hope you will come and stay with us again soon.

Liked: Very helpful staff with great areas for pitching up with tourer, clean and tidy toilet facilities along with the site as a whole.
great space within the dog walking area to allow dogs to get a good run and a swim down within the river.
great additional touch with WIFI access given at site

From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a lovely review, we all really appreciate it

The team are extremely pleased you found our site excellent and found our staff very helpful & friendly. We try to make sure all our guests feel very welcome to our site.

How lovely that your dog/s had a good run in our dog walking field and a swim in the beautiful river on site.

Unlike many other sites who charge for Wi-Fi ours is free to all our guests, so we are pleased you thought it a great additional touch.

Thank you again for your review and we hope you will come back and stay with us again soon.

Liked: Large easy to manoeuvre onto pitches. As previously said on another review, as it's a new site maybe adding fully serviced facilities or even just water on each pitch would have been a bonus. Also shower and toilet facilities aren't enough. But as the touring site wasn't full it wasn't a problem for us. The shower was fantastic, powerful and hot. Also thank you to Margaret a resident on the site in one of the beautiful lodges for letting me use her whirly clothes dryer to dry my washing. The games room with all anyone could require (if in a tent) are great. We enjoyed our stay.

Local attractions

Dumfries (10 minutes’ drive) was the birthplace of Robbie Burns in 1759; see displays on the life of Scotland’s favourite poet, as well as portraits and period rooms, at the Robert Burns House, or read more about his life and times at the Robert Burns Centre, an 18th-century watermill sitting on the banks of the River Nith. There’s more on his backstory at Robert Burns Ellisland Farm (five minutes), a sprawling homestead where he once farmed. Spectacular Drumlanrig Castle and Gardens (20 minutes) makes a great day out for all the family, with its stellar art collection, woodland walks and adventure playground. For more Scottish heritage, stop by the moated remains of medieval Caerlaverock Castle (25 minutes), or have a nose around impressive cloisters of 13th-century Sweetheart Abbey (20 minutes) in New Abbey. If you prefer to do your exploring on foot, amble up to the 60-foot waterfall in Grey Mare’s Tail Nature Reserve (50 minutes), or pack a picnic and hike to Loch Trool and Bruce’s Stone – commemorating Robert the Bruce’s victory over the English in 1307 – in Galloway Forest Park (half an hour).
