What customers say
Great, quiet site with friendly staff. Spacious pitches & top facilities. Dog field's a bonus. Good location for exploring. Some mention busy shower/toilet times, but others find them fine and very clean.

Liked The whole park is great, liked the layout, facilities etc. Great leisure room inside with coffee/tea and biscuits. Very close to Dumfries and its attractions.
Disliked Limited toilet/showers facilities at the motorhome area but this wasn’t an issue, as I just showered later in the morning.

From the manager: Frans we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a lovely review.
The team are pleased to hear you comment about the cleanliness of the site and how friendly the staff are.
We understand the needs of campers with tents, that's why there is a fridge provided in the games room, along with a microwave and the facilities to make a hot drink with the option to watch tv on the comfy sofas.
As the comment about a camp shop, we have a petrol station 10 minutes walk away that provides all your basics and more.
Frans it's nice to see you would recommend us to friends.
Thank you again.
Excellent site would highly recommend
Powered gravel campsite
Liked The site was immaculate, the staff were lovely, the facilities were excellent and very clean and stocked. Access was secure and the permanent residents were very friendly towards touring guests. The dog walking area was very well maintained and had beautiful views across the countryside (even excellent for a morning run). We will definitely be returning.
Disliked Could do with one more shower near the touring end as some guests like to be in the showers all morning, some of whom ironically have showers in their vans?!

From the manager: Thank you so much Les for taking the time to leave us a review.
It's lovely to hear you say you found the site was immaculate, the staff were lovely, the facilities were excellent and very clean and stocked.
We are pleased you found the access was secure and found the permanent residents were very friendly towards touring guests. The dog walking area is a real asset to the site and we are pleased you found that it was very well maintained and enjoyed the beautiful views across the countryside. The team really liked your comment saying that it's even excellent for a morning run!!
But the team's favourite comment: We will definitely be returning!!
Disliked: Could do with one more shower near the touring end as some guests like to be in the showers all morning, some of whom ironically have showers in their vans?!
Yes we find a lot of campers appreciate how nice our unlimited showers are and do spend extra time in them.
We appreciate your feedback though regarding the shower locations. The additional showers by reception are close by with only a 2 min walk and are used regularly by other campers, some of them saying they prefer the showers by reception. But we do take all feedback on board as we continue the upkeep of the park.
Thank you so much Les for your Private feedback. The feedback meant a lot to the team and we hope it won't be too long before you return.
