What customers say

This is a clean, peaceful, well-maintained site with friendly, helpful staff and stunning Loch Ryan views. Ideal for Cairnryan ferry, easy Stranraer access. Facilities are good, spotless, though some want modernization/more hooks. Occasional road noise depending on pitch. Great stopover.

Ianjojo W.

Powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked The pitch, the view, the location

Disliked The facilities, cold and grubby, showers were pointless, the water just dribbled down the pipe, no power or spray, literally had to rest head in the pipe to try get water on hair. For us, staying on a park the shower block has to be brilliant

Local attractions

Castle Kennedy's gardens (10 minutes' drive) are packed with a bountiful array of plants and wildlife to spy – get snug in the bird hides to see what you can see. Kids can dash about beneath the 20 towering and ancient ‘Champion Trees’ and there’s a right royal time to be had exploring the ruins of the sixteenth-century castle. Sea lovers should certainly skedaddle to Scotland’s most southerly point, the Mull of Galloway (45 minutes’ drive). Climb the 26m-high lighthouse and visit the engine room exhibition to have all your questions answered by the experts. The surroundings are a Site of Special Scientific Interest and RSPB reserve, so when you’re not mulling over Mull’s scenery, you may spot the likes of roe deer, brown hare, guillemots and puffins. For foodies, The Cocoabean Company chocolate factory is about an hour’s drive east, with kids’ workshops and play areas alongside a swathe of sweet treats. About 45 minutes away is Galloway Smokehouse (in Wigtown Bay) for top-notch smoked Scottish salmon and trout. If you’re on the way back from the smokehouse, Bladnoch Whiskey Distillery’s shop is enroute and it’d be rude not to pop in for a sample of Scotland’s finest to take home…
