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 journey 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 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 sure-fire 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.

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

The kids loved the cows that kept popping by to say hello

Beautifully kept site, showers and toilets extremely clean.

Electric gravel pitch

Liked: From the minute we entered the park I knew it would be good, the man at reception couldn’t be more helpful, polite and friendly- set us off to select any pitch we wanted - showers were lovely and clean as were the toilet facilities. Highly recommended for just more than an overnight stay.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike here.

Liked: Nice location lovely walk for dogs on site. Clean very tidy and a warm welcome.

Disliked: Could probably do with more toilets and showers. It was fine when we stayed as only 3 other vans but if busier I think the facilities might be short.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. The team work really hard to keep the site looking nice and clean and try to make sure everyone has a warm welcome. Lots of customers really appreciate the dog walking field, with the mowed path by the river. We are pleased you thought it was a lovely place for dogs on site. Regarding the need for more toilets/showers, we have two large toilet/shower rooms a short walk away by reception. The team at Newbridge Country Park, hope to see you again soon.

Paul J. Aug 2024

Electric gravel pitch

Liked: Lovely site with perfectly manicured grounds. The site is located right on the the A76 (just 10 minutes from Dumfries) but the pitches are surrounded by tall trees and you couldn't hear any of the road noise. The dog walking area sets this site apart from any other we have ever stayed at. The field is secure all the way round and runs by the side of the river. The pathways are cut into the field offering you the cleanest of walks, even when the ground is sodden underfoot. Easily accessible facilities, which were regularly checked and cleaned, including a games room (ping pong table, pool table and air hockey)

Disliked: The mixed wc's and showers are located inside the games room and it can feel a little awkward, when you rack up the pool table whilst you wait for the loo or shower. However, a little longer waly and there are some further (seldom used showers) at the entrance to the site.

From the manager: Paul, we thank you for your lovely, detailed, review. The team work really hard to keep the site looking nice and clean. Lots of customers really appreciate the dog walking field, with the mowed path by the river. A lot of our customers stay longer, or return to the site, because of the dog walking area, and how lovely the site, and facilities are. Regarding having to wait for the toilets/showers in the games room, you are right, we have to large toilet/shower rooms a short walk away by reception, for those that don't want to use the toilets/shower in the games room. The team at Newbridge Country Park, hope to see you again soon, Paul.

Electric gravel pitch

Liked: Very friendly staff, park is very well maintained, clean & very tidy. Owners obviously take pride in their park. Spacious pitches, shower excellent with very clean facilities. A good games room with pool table and table tennis. Excellent value compared to some sites around the area.

Disliked: Could possibly do with more toilets/showers. Wasn't a problem on visit as there were only ever 3-6 pitches taken.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The team at Newbridge Country Park are very thankful of your lovely detailed review, and are pleased you appreciated the hard work that we put in, to keep the site looking so nice.

Disliked: Toilets need to be separated men and women which I realise is expensive for a small site

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: David we really appreciate your review. With us having unisex toilets, we find our customers are not having to wait for one particular sex toilet to be come available, so less waiting around time. A lot of smaller campsites have the same principle. Thank you again for your review.

Electric gravel pitch

Liked: The bathroom. The tidy site with space between pitches.

Disliked: Having to walk through games room to get to one of the two toilets/ bathroom. Not enough toilet/shower facilities. Busy, noisy main road nearby.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. For those that don't like using the toilets/shower, off the games room, there are a further 2 showers/toilets, a short walk away near reception. It's unusual that you heard the road noise, as the majority of our customers, have said how peaceful the site is, with having large trees. and a field, between the touring site area and the road. We have planted trees, and bushes, along the main road, so that will soon dampen any road noise. Newbridge Country Park, thank you again, for your review.

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).
