General

Spacious family-friendly site 15 minutes' drive from Lockerbie
In the grounds of a 16th-century castle next to the River Annan
Golf course, salmon fishing, guided walks and play park

A castle? But of course – surely you deserve nothing less? Hoddom Castle Caravan Park, in the Dumfries & Galloway countryside a 15-minute drive from the town of Lockerbie, is a fine pick for families and those with an eye for the finer things in life.

This is a site that’s been running since 1973, but the history of the place goes back much further than that – the castle in question is a 16th-century border keep that’s the focal point of the 10,000 acres of the Hoddom and Kinmount estates. Other historic buildings including the hilltop Repentance Tower and the ancient St Kentigerns churchyard are scattered around the estate, and the River Annan river flows along its edge.

Guests are welcome to roam along walking trails or join the tours run by the estate ranger on selected summer Sunday afternoons. Other suitably regal activities are to hand too: the estate has its own nine-hole golf course and some top spots for salmon fishing in the river.

Even the most princely of visitors need to let their hair down occasionally, so there’s also a play park on site.

Open from 04/01/2021 to 10/30/2021

Liked:

This is a beautiful location and only a short drive from J18 of the M74 going North - coming south you have to come off at J17 which is a bit of a longer drive (about 15 mins as I recall). We were using this as a one night stop-over heading back to Cheshire (don't enjoy driving miles and miles without a stop these days) and unfortunately arrived later than planned; despite the Covid restrictions, the receptionist was extremely helpful, ringing me up half an hour before the office closed to check when we might arrive and arranging to leave the instructions on the door.
We had time to stroll around the park the next day before we left and it is a totally charming site; the remains of the castle are fabulous (some of which are still being used for the restaurant and bar and offices) - a postcard of the site back in 1930 shows the castle was twice the size it is today and must have been truly magnificent then. This was in late October when the leaves had all turned and were floating gently to earth like coloured snowflakes; Despite the torrential rain the day before, the pitches were all in good order and no problems getting the 3.5 ton rig off the next morning. We will definitely come back (Covid permitting) in higher season and explore the whole area.

Disliked:

As I mentioned, we arrived late, and it is not easy to navigate in the dark; first, SatNav takes you to the EXIT and, in the dark, we found it tricky to retrace to the entrance. Once along the long drive, we came to area where the reception office is but that took a bit of finding in the dark. Then finding our pitch wasn't plain sailing as, due to the (sensible) one-way system, you have to head towards the exit before you get directed back into the main site - all bit confusing if it's your first visit so don't arrive in the dark for your first stay!
My only other observation is I felt it was a bit pricey at £30 for an over-nighter when there were no eating or drinking facilities available (only on Friday/Sat/Sun and we were there on Monday) - then again, this is the new world with Covid-19 and I guess their costs haven't changed and it is good that they are still open in these difficult times so grin and bear it - def worth a re-visit when restaurant and bar are open.

Liked:

The site was well set out with lots of country walks. There is a small shop on site for any essentials you might have forgotten to take and a restaurant at the Coach House whose breakfasts were first class as is their pizzas and a well stocked bar. The site was well set up with regard to Covid. The toilets were spotless with hand sanitiser outside and clear instructions inside and advised to walk on the left hand side to meet social distancing directions. There is also an excellent playpark for kids. There was also good wifi connection.

Disliked:

The only thing I disliked about our stay was that the little shop didn't stock rolls or bread.

Liked:	The location and many walks around the site. Never used the bathroom facilities, so can’t comment. Plenty of water and waste water facilities.
Disliked:	A long walk to the chemical waste facility. Also, a purely personal preference. We do not like so many permanent touring pitches which is not shown on photographs of the site.

Local attractions

If you need a little tipple to sip while you survey your smart surrounds, take a jaunt to one of the local gin distilleries – the Distillery at Dalton is 10 minutes away by car and Annandale Distillery 15 minutes. (Best be saving their [excellent] wares for later if you’re intending to try your hand at horse carriage driving, 25 minutes away at the Chariots of Fire centre.)

Countryside visit not complete until you’ve seen all the farm animals? Take your pick from outings to Dalscone Farm Fun (20 minutes away), Mabie Farm Park and Walby Farm Park (both half an hour): all are packed with furry friends that should have the small sorts (and most likely the grownups too) squealing with glee. If they’re more into beasts of the prehistoric variety, detour instead to Dino Park (10 minutes) for a roaring good time among the lifesized models.

Fancy flexing the credit card? Get on over to Gretna Gateway Outlet Village to browse for bargains from a whole host of high street names.
