Newbridge Country Park

Liked Extremely clean and well maintained.
Flat gravel pitches (some grass for tents).
Quiet with great views.
Friendly and helpful staff/owners.

Disliked As have others, I have to mention the toilet situation.
There are 4 toilets, 3 of which are in a room with a shower which means that when the site is full (15 pitches plus tents) and the showers are all in use, there is only one toilet available, which week inevitably lead to queues.
In addition, access to one of the shower rooms and the sole toilet is through the lounge/games room which feels a bit "weird".
The site really could do with a separate block of just toilets.
There's is free WiFi, but we couldn't get any bandwidth at the far end of the site

Liked Very friendly and helpful bloke that run the site, everywhere was immaculate and clean, about 2 mile walk into Dumfries Although a 246 bus runs past with a bus stop being right on the entrance. An excellent field next to the site for dog walkers all mowed with paths through the long grass.

Disliked Although the shower and toilet are kept immaculate they are in the games room, so you have to walk through people playing pool and teenagers just hanging around to go to the toilet or shower

Liked Great location for us as we have family in Dumfries and it was so easy to see them. Really peaceful location too - bit of traffic noise but you don't notice it after a while.

Great games room and washing area - the dog walking route is perfect too.

Great check in from Mick - really friendly and helpful.

Disliked More showers perhaps - only 2 on site - 1 at the touring pitches and 1 at reception.

From the manager: Jeni, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

It's so nice to hear you found our site lovely & peaceful, that you enjoyed the large pitches, clean facilities and, said we offered good value for money.

Jeni there are actually 3 showers on site and 4 toilets, some being just a short walk from the touring pitches, which should of been made aware to you on check-in.

As for liking to pitch your awning on grass, we like to keep the grass between pitches as privacy between you and your neighbours. But Jeni if you had asked we would of tried to help with that for you.

Thank you again for your review Jeni.

We hope you will come and stay with us again soon.

Liked Pitches well layed out at back of the park, gravel pitch with power.

Disliked Insufficient amount of showers and toilets for the number of pitches available, 1 shower in total for 15 pitches, they were clean and tidy however games room could easily accommodate additional 4 shower toilet units and sell of the fussball.

From the manager: Henk we are very disappointed with your review, especially the rating, as you said it was a good pitch & good location. You also said that you liked that the pitches are well laid out at the back of the park and gravel pitches with power.

As explained when you were checked in by myself Henk, that there are actually 3 showers & 4 toilets on site, 1 shower & 2 toilets are off the games room, & a further 2 toilets and showers next to reception, which is a 2 minute walk away from the touring site.

Henk It may have been lost in translation when i explained about the further 2 showers, but there is also a notice on the shower door, off the games room, that there are more showers next to reception.

We would really appreciate it Henk if you could amend your review & rating as it may give other guests the wrong information.

But Henk we are really pleased you chose to stay with us for 2 nights & we hope you will stay with us again if you are in the area and you can then appreciate our further 2 showers.

Liked Well laid out, level pitch, clean and tidy, good WiFi.

Washing machine and tumble dryer perfect

Disliked Would like a couple more showers only 2 but only few caravans or motor homes so was okay waiting. But in height of the season may cause issyes
