Disliked: Disliked the touring checkout times.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Reasonably priced, plenty to do, ample sized pitches with good electric hookup (we ran a cool box and 3 phone chargers off it with no issue), very clean toilet and shower block, friendly staff, very well stocked shop.

Disliked: No hand soap all week but I just bought a bottle from the store for £1.20 and took it with me to the bathroom each time. WiFi didn’t reach the campsite, although it worked perfectly in the entertainment complex.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Friendly staff. Grandchildren enjoyed the pool and arcade as weather was mixed,

Disliked: The toilet block needed more supervision and checking as daughter in law had to go to reception on two occasions as no soap in dispensers and ran out of toilet roll in some cubicles. Realise that half term so lots of children around. Difficult to contact direct as wanted to check/amend checkout time. Took lots of time emailing to pitch up re answer which they couldn’t give in the end

Local attractions

Assuming the weather is kind, the area surrounding Southerness Holiday Park is tiptop for anyone looking for an active holiday; do your own thing or shake off the cobwebs and try something new at one of the excellent activity centres in the Dumfries and Galloway region. Golfers are in for a particular treat, given the enormous choice of excellent courses nearby (the closest championship course is on the doorstep, in Southerness). If you fancy getting out and about, there’s a plethora of attractions to choose from: tickle your taste buds with a trip to the Cocoa Bean Factory or nearby ice cream factory; rattle around on the barrel train at Mabie Farm Park, a great value attraction packed with activities to keep the kids entranced all day; ramble around the romantic ruins of Sweetheart Abbey; clamber around a couple of castles, or visit the Robert Burns Centre in Dumfries. Or you could head to one of Dumfries and Galloway’s 'themed' towns: Wigtown for bookish types, Castle Douglas for foodies, or the artists’ town of Kirkcudbright.
