Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: We stayed for 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend. It wasn't to busy. Plenty of choice of where to pitch the tent. We pitched just by the stream as it seemed quieter on the side near the stream not overlooking the beach where most of the families were pitched and we had 2 dogs so we had plenty of room to peg them in and not have to worry about them . Friendly grounds staff and the coast is beautiful whether raining or in the sun. We did the coastal hike to Rockliffe which is just under 5 miles and has stunning views and little enclosed beaches along the way. There's also a great forest walk just 15 mins drive away in Dalbeattie which the dogs loved. Definitely recommend!

Disliked: Phone signal not great but that's not the sites problem.

Liked: Fantastic location right on the beach with views across the Solway Firth from our pitch. Friendly and helpful staff. Shower block, toilets and pot washing area were clean and well maintained.
Disliked: The lack of any recycling was a shock - everything had to go into general waste. We would have appreciated a communal kitchen area/bothy with a freezer to refresh freezer blocks. Other sites offered microwave, kettle, fridge and freezer. Sandyhills seemed more focussed on the static caravans.
