Liked Absolutely loved our camping weekend at solway holiday park, There was 11 of us all together and they were very accomending. Manged to pitch our tents together, sat us all down in the pub at last minute. Staff couldn't be more helpful they always spoke to the children as well. Evening entertainment was brilliant. Lots to do on the site. Indoor pool was lovely and warm. Will definitely be back for a longer stay next time so we can get more exploring done.

Liked Nice grounds and local town was nice to visit.
Staff did respond to noise complaints.
Staff tried their best to keep the toilets clean (despite how poorly some guest left the facilities).
Swimming pool dated (modern changing rooms though) but fine, pool water is warm, lifeguards are very proactive.

Disliked Pitches are smaller than expected and not well spaced out. Despite website saying no pup tents and not gazebos, there were loads on site and no one told to removed them. Loud music played late at night past 11pm! Only two washing up sinks, for a large site.
Food on site was awful, worst battered sausage I have ever eaten.
Food is very over priced and shop onsite is very expensive.
Location is far from any of the main places to visit. Most places are at least an hours drive away.

Liked There is plenty to do with children on the site, arcades, classes at an additional cost and sport cages (tennis) but not much free space to have a kick about or fly a kite.

Disliked We had booked for a 4 night stay, when booking it asks what pitch size you want, this information is not passed onto the poor chap who assigns the pitches to the guests arriving. He had to drive around to find a pitch that was suitable for our tent size. On the website it states that there is a minimum of 3 metres between pitches, again not the case, the first pitch we had been given had about 1.5 metres between the tents. The 2nd pitch had about 2.5 meters (legal requirements is 3 minimum).
The swimming you are given an hour a day if you arrive in time to book this the day prior.
The facilities are ok and the domestic staff have their work cut out! 3 out of the 4 mornings going to the toilets people had been sick in multiple cubicles (on the floor) when talking to one of the domestic staff she felt sorry for the families that have to bring children into the toilets due to the conditions selfish people had left them in. We had a young child with us and I would go in to establish which toilet was safe for her to use.
They have a late night disco in the entertainment complex, please be warned that this music can be heard far away. Our pitch was about a 7 minute walk from the complex and it could still be heard at 3am.

Bring a long electric hook-up cable as the ports can be quite far away.

Liked That there were quiet a few activities and it’s family friendly

Disliked The state of shower rooms, toilets, not regularly cleaned despite of no rain in the 3 days we camped, it should have been kept in a better state. There were no extra hooks inside the shower rooms to keep your stuff hanging and clothes and towels kept falling off the one peg inside the shower rooms.

Local attractions

On the English side of the Firth, Solway guests can reach the north-western lakes of the Lake District National Park, day trips to Carlisle and the hills and stargazing of Northumberland National Park. On the Scottish side, you could hike the Galloway Hills, run away to Gretna or drive further afield to urban days out at Edinburgh or Glasgow. (To see it all at once, take a trip to championship Solway Golf Course where you can tee around to views of the Lakeland Fells, Galloway Hills and across to the Isle of Man.) Moseying towards Northumberland (stop off at Carlisle Castle and The Lanes shopping centre on the way), friends, Romans and countrymen can walk as much of the Hadrian’s Wall Path as they can manage: it’s the north of England’s most visited tourist attraction and most of it runs along the Solway Firth on its way to Northumberland. Happily for such a family-centred site, kiddish fun is all around Solway Holiday Park too: farm park Orton Grange, getting open-mouthed at the fish and other inhabitants at Lake District Coast Aquarium, or going on a hop around award-winning World of Beatrix Potter.
