Primitive grass campsite
Liked: A secret gem, nestled away off the beaten path, amazing views and so many fun quirky things to enjoy while onsite. The highlight for me was the huge flock of wee birds visiting the feeders daily: we spotted chaffinch, siskin, sparrows, linnet, gold finch and amongst others.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike, this place is wonderful and very hospitable.

Liked: The ‘vibe’ of the place. The facilities. Went to the music festival and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Relaxed camp site. Nice n small. Fire pits were good and we made use of one. Toilets quirky and lovely. Everything very clean. Water was nice and hot.
Disliked: Could do with a few more showers although we did appreciate that it was a busy weekend.

Liked: Great campsite. Perfectly located for exploring Galloway Forest. We chose it because it was close to the Dark Sky reserve, and it didn’t disappoint, we had great views of the night sky and stars.
