#2 power optional concrete and grass campervan site (large)
Liked I loved the quirkiness of this site, each pitch is different and has added extras included in your pitch such as wooden kitchen shed or gazebo. I would describe each pitch which has its own garden, making your pitch spacier. I think they’re are only 12 pitches, most of the camping pitches are ‘no’ car, so a wheel barrow is supplied … The loo shed facilities include loos, a shower, kettles, fridges and washing up facilities. There’s also a gazebo for bicyclists and motorcyclists to store their gear in.
The hosts were so friendly
The only thing it doesn’t have is wet waste disposal for campervans/homes.
Probably the best camping site in the world! This is how I would do camping!
The site is off a quiet road into a gate
Hint: when you book, there’s a number on the description, this is your pitch number.
Stranraer is 6 miles away, village of Leswalt is 2.5 miles away
Disliked Absolutely nothing
Overall great stay , would recommend
#1 power optional grass tent site (large)

Peaceful and quiet site, friendly hosts and privacy.
#8 power optional grass tent site (large)
Liked It was a lovely and private site, each pitch has it's own space. Our pitch had a hedge on one side and some sort of fence around most of it with only a small portion being open on 2 sides. It was a beautiful and peaceful spot, perfect for relaxing. It was very dog friendly and our dogs enjoyed the space they had on the pitch. It is an isolated campsite but still had easy access to the town and to other walks and attractions in the area. The communal kitchen and bathroom areas were well maintained and we liked the option of books, games and things to do in the area. Overall a lovely spot that we would be happy to visit again.

Liked Excellent stay. Clean, well organised campsite with secluded pitches.
Perfect location for exploring
#6 power optional grass tent site (medium)
Liked Friendly welcome from Ray. Who showed us to our parking spot and where we would be spending the next few days. The pitches for camping are located up a small incline all surrounded by handmade fences, very private and plenty of space between. Our pitch was 6 which had its own outdoor shelter and fire pit, our tent is large and it fit with ease and plenty of space to position. Logs are available to buy very reasonably priced for a large bag. Eggs also available (depends on the Chickens) pizza oven is a must.
The facilities are kept very clean and tidy, with plenty of back up cups, corkscrews etc to borrow, fridge and freezer, kettle and power banks. One shower which again is spacious and clean, 2 toilets one that is accessible.
Ray is very helpful with visiting and touring the area, a very good host.
The site only has 10 pitches which is perfect for a quiet and chilled get-away, the peninsula is absolutely stunning to visit.
The Tor closeby is a very short walk up to, with spectacular views across the valley. But only 20 mins up the road is the Corsewell Lighthouse. 30 mins to the South is The Mull of Galloway lighthouse and tea room. Logan Botanical gardens are easy to do in the same day, the Gardens are wonderful.
Glasgow or Dumfries are a 2hr drive, Ayr is an hour up the road, Stranraer is only 10 mins away with loads of take away options, supermarkets and restaurants.
This site is wonderful for visiting the peninsula or adventuring further.
Lovely place for a peaceful trip away
