What customers say

Immaculate, well-kept site with friendly staff. Peaceful with great facilities like a games room & spacious pitches. Loved the dog field with river access & convenient Dumfries location. Some suggest more toilets/showers for peak times, & shower placement in games room felt a bit odd. High quality & value, highly recommended.

Electric gravel pitch

Liked The whole site was so clean and well organised. Has everything you need and more. Peaceful with a great location for nipping into Dumfries great for dogs too with a little river walk off the site.

Disliked Can't call this a dislike but an extra toilet and shower maybe block wouldn't go a miss. But honestly didn't dampen our stay!! Thought hard for a dislike.

Electric gravel pitch

Liked Lovely quiet site which looked to be new or newly refurbished. Nice countryside views and only a ten minute drive into Dumfries. Beautifully kept grounds.

Disliked Only one shower and two loos close to the touring pitches, although more were sited near Reception.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Nice tidy clean site, with a few improvements could be top notch.

Electric gravel pitch

Liked Tidy site, quiet and well looked after. Good sized field for dog walking. Free Starlink WiFi, though this does occasionally cut out.

Disliked Definitely needs more than two toilets and one shower near the pitches. There are an additional two near reception but it’s a fairly long walk especially in bad weather.

Could do with some additional signage for drinking water as it’s not obvious - I saw a few people filling their aquaroll from the tap next to the chemical disposal point - health hazard!

Games room needs some attention as the pool table is on the verge of collapse!

Lovely maintained site fairly close to Dumfries. Definitely going back

Electric gravel pitch

Liked Lovely clean maintained site. Only 15 pitches so very quiet and friendly. Showers in the shower rooms are very spacious with a toilet and washing basin in each room making it feel as if you were in your own bathroom at home. Warden often driving around the site giving a friendly wave or a wee chat. A half hour walk into Aldi and not much further to a retail park.

Disliked Only one shower room beside the pitches but there are another two equally as nice a short walk to the wardens office. We did have to make the wardens aware one day that the bins in the shower rooms and toilet in the games room were full to overflowing, there was no hand-wash in the toilet and the blue roll for drying hands had ran out. We therefore assumed that no cleaning had been done for maybe three days.

Liked Quiet location.
Wifi included.
Kids liked the pool and football tables.

Disliked One toilet and one shower. Not sufficient for number of guest.
The alternative (2 other toilets at front reception) is too far walking, hence no one uses them. Create more toilets om campsite.

Local attractions

Dumfries (10 minutes’ drive) was the birthplace of Robbie Burns in 1759; see displays on the life of Scotland’s favourite poet, as well as portraits and period rooms, at the Robert Burns House, or read more about his life and times at the Robert Burns Centre, an 18th-century watermill sitting on the banks of the River Nith. There’s more on his backstory at Robert Burns Ellisland Farm (five minutes), a sprawling homestead where he once farmed. Spectacular Drumlanrig Castle and Gardens (20 minutes) makes a great day out too, with its stellar art collection and woodland walks. For more Scottish heritage, stop by the moated remains of medieval Caerlaverock Castle (25 minutes), or have a nose around the impressive cloisters of 13th-century Sweetheart Abbey (20 minutes) in New Abbey. If you prefer to do your exploring on foot, amble up to the 60-foot waterfall in Grey Mare’s Tail Nature Reserve (50 minutes), or pack a picnic and hike to Loch Trool and Bruce’s Stone – commemorating Robert the Bruce’s victory over the English in 1307 – in Galloway Forest Park (half an hour).
