What customers say

Great spot, awesome views & clean facilities. Staff are friendly, grounds are tidy, pitches spacious. Perfect for dog walks & coast exploring. A few minor WiFi/cleaning quibbles, but overall, highly recommended with many keen to return.

Debbie W.

Powered grass campervan site

Liked The View

Disliked Not many level sites available, the toilet and shower blocks are very outdated and not too clean, no beach to enjoy, too rocky!
They games room had bird droppings all over the floor and furniture, very dirty, more of a health hazard than an entertainment area.
The children's swing needs oil, the sneaky noise was very annoying!

Local attractions

Walking and wildlife are the order of the day here: clamber along the cliffs from Castle Point to Rockcliffe and along the Jubilee Path up the Muckle Knowe; you can also walk along the causeway at low tide from Kippford to Rough Island and its bird sanctuary or take to the hills at Screel, Bengairn and beyond. For something even more strenuous than Scottish hillwalking, follow the signposted trail from Rockcliffe village and climb the Motte of Mark for some stunning views over the Urr estuary and beyond to the Lake District and the Isle of Man. As for wildlife, the area is full of species to stare at, including butterflies, bluebells and summer swallows, with Dumfries and Galloway an all-round nature haven: try the Galloway Red Kite Trail, stamping around with the stags at the Galloway Forest Park, looking for small critters in the beach rockpools or seeing the seabirds from the RSPB centre at the Mull of Galloway. If you prefer two wheels rather than two feet, Castle Point is close to the 7stanes, the seven mountain biking trails across the south of Scotland, and there are numerous cycle trails nearby. Other active options in the area include pony trekking, fishing, sailing and tennis – Kippford is a well-known sailing centre and there are watersports, archery and other activities at Galloway Activity Centre and the Laggan Outdoor Centre. Several nine- and 18-hole golf courses within reach too, with the closest at Colvend Golf Club on the Solway Coast.
