What customers say
Set on stunning castle grounds, this large, well-kept site has spacious spots, great walks, and is dog-friendly. Guests loved the clean facilities, helpful staff, and on-site restaurant. Mostly peaceful, though some noted older restrooms and showers were a walk away. Pay-as-you-go electricity. Many plan to return.

Just a spectacular site, the castle…
Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Just a spectacular site, the castle is the main backdrop but the pitches are well laid out, the staff are so friendly and helpful, checking in and arriving late was so easy. The shower and toilet facilities are amongst the best you will find anywhere, very clean, practically brand new, spacious layout, amazing ventilation and heating so warm but not humid despite all the showers running, just amazing, will definitely be going back. It's also close to the A74M so it's a fantastic stop over on your way further north!

Friendly welcome. Easy check in. Good stopover would book again.
Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Its a big site obvs in old grounds with parts of the castle being used. Seems to be a lot of long stayers. Prob good for families, games room etc. As a couple we were happy to stay just one night. Our pitch was small and very close to others. No privacy.
There were kids playing football behind us with someone playing golf. No wardens to patrol.
Showers were miles away so we didn't use them. Pot wash was basic and functional.
Disliked Really depends what you want from a site. Basic facilities with things for kids to do or good pitches with high standard convenient facilities. As a couple we prefer the latter but it was great as a stop over en route to or from Scotland.

Absolutely beautiful site
Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked We love the forest setting, spacious facilities and clean and well kept site. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The castle ruins, grouse and wildlife make this magical. Handy for Annan. Great bar and relaxed dog friendly food area.
Disliked We loved the whole experience. Some golfers turned up and were a bit loud and swearing but that’s no reflection on the site management.
