Primitive grass and sand travel trailer campsite
Liked: Only a few feet from a gorgeous beach. Watched magical sunrises, as well as being a clear sky area, fantastic for star gazing.
Disliked: The lack of clearly defined, allocated space led to random parking that felt intrusive. Owner allows large groups which was noisy.

Primitive grass and sand travel trailer campsite
Liked: Well what can l say, in regards to this real fabulous place. Must of spent our 2 week stay on one of the best caravan pitches. We were literally right on the beach within 3 metres of the waves. Our two dogs loved every minute like we did.
A couple of the days the weather had turned/nasty, but that is to be expected in mid October. The owners were nice when we spoke to them and one of them told us of plans to put in electricity points in so it was not off grid which it is at the moment. The nearest local shop is the spar situated in Gatehouse of Fleet which is around 10 minutes drive from the campsite.
The nearest petrol station is at Creetown which is a left turn out of the campsites and 8 to 9 miles up the road and at 1.29p per litre and a little premier stores 500 yards from the petrol station also. If you follow the A75 for another 5 miles you will come to a small sainsbury and Large Lidl
Creetown has a memorial to the soldiers of the 1st World War who lived in the area. We will must definitely be returning but maybe this time in the better weather.
A wonder place to have a break from it all.
Miss that place now l am home again.
Disliked: Nothing to Dislike. How can you Dislike Mother Nature.
