What customers say
Great location & staff! Clean facilities near shops/motorway. Good for stopovers, though showers are dated & some noise. Showers hot/clean (20¢), WiFi spotty.

Perfect for a weekend getaway
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked The site ameneties where very clean. Site staff very friendly, including wildlife. This was a very quiet site, the pitches well maintained. Ideal for me and my wife. 15 to 20 minutes from most of what Gretna had to offer, so we walked everywhere. The local people that we spoke to very friendly, especially the local florist and bakery. This is now one of our favourite sites and we will definately be back for another stay
Disliked There was nothing that we disliked. (apart from wasps)

Little Gem
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked From the moment we got there nothing was too much trouble
Lovely site, well organised
Right on the edge of Gretna about a 10 min walk max to the nearest shops
Disliked Nothing really
We went for a wedding and the taxis are a bit hit and miss and not cheap as out the area. Would just say plan these in advance if this is what your planning to do
Definitely wouldn’t stop us doing this again if we have any more weddings this way

Great place to stay.
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Easy to find, access was easy. Very welcoming and gave us all the information required. We walked everywhere locally as there is a lot around. Plenty of places to eat out or get takeaway. Would recommend the Indian just up the road (Mcdhaba). Lovely friendly locals. We visited Annan which was a ten minute drive, a beautiful thriving town.
Disliked Not a big disappointment bit the hotel beside the site had a wedding function on until after midnight, it didn't bother us as we don't go to bed until late. I could imagine some people complaining though.
