Unpowered grass and sand caravan site

Liked: The beach Quiet Friendly Freedom to select pitch in nominated area. We had a lovely stay on a nice level part of the field. Easy access to the water for all pitches. The kids loved getting their wetsuits on and into the water followed up with dinner then roasted marshmallows. Would love to visit again - especially if we could get the same good weather!!

Unpowered grass and sand caravan site

Liked: Perfect location with amazing views. Very peaceful when we visited early in September. Parked up almost on the beach and loved watching the tide come in and out. Basic facilities of water and waste disposal point but that's what we like. Received a very warm welcome. The bay is a lovely to place walk, swim or kayak.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: We loved this site. The location is amazing and we couldn't be happier with our stay. So peaceful with easy check in and lovely people. It's also so dark at night so we had fantastic views, I don't think we have seen so many stars before.

Disliked: Nothing at all, it was perfect.

Local attractions

In the immediate vicinity, you could explore mysterious ancient history at Cairn Holy (five minutes' drive), a set of Neolithic chambered tombs. If you're minded to range far and wide you might also like a spin around the 7Stanes bike park in Dalbeattie (30 minutes). One of the closest castles is at Cardoness (five minutes) in a hilltop location where you can take in far-reaching views, while down by the coast Carsluith Castle (10 minutes) is very well preserved and free to enter. More history and heritage is showcased in Kirkcudbright (15 minutes; pronounced kirk-oo-bree), including Broughton House, a restored Georgian mansion. The town also has a swimming pool for those months when the sea's a bit too chilly for a dip. Newton Campsite is also within easy reach of pretty coastal peninsulas like Isle of Whithorn (40 minutes), a pretty coastal village long associated with St Ninian, who brought Christianity to Scotland. The Rhins of Galloway peninsula (45 minutes) is also well worth a visit if you fancy visiting green spaces like Logan Botanic Garden (an hour) or the southernmost point in Scotland, the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse (an hour and 10 minutes).
