What customers say

This campsite gets a thumbs-up for its prime spot, lekker views, and spick-and-span facilities. Staff are a gem, always keen to help. Grounds are well-kept, pitches are roomy, and it's dead quiet – perfect for walks with your dog and exploring the coast. WiFi's a bit dodgy for some, and a few loos could do with a scrub. But hey, most peeps reckon it’s top-notch and plan to come back for more.

Keith T.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved the cleanliness and the size of the pitches. Clear instructions from the staff and the general feel. Loved that the ice cream van visited at 6pm!

Showers were great too and lovely walks from the campsite. A great place to stay if your mountain biking with a family in the 7 Stanes as there are trails into Dalbeattie Forest from Rockcliffe.

Disliked My only real gripe, and this is nit picking, so maybe could knock half a start off for each was that the electric hook up lantern near us was very bright (not all night though) and that there seemed that there was a food scraps bin intended in the scullery, though it wasn't there. Not great if you bike-packing or travelling light and have no waste bags. That's probably a reminder to me to pack some very thin light waste bags.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Great location, wonderful views, good toilet/shower/washing facilities. The site is in a beautiful area with lovely coastal walks.

Disliked The upper fields mainly have slightly sloping ground so you will probably need chocs if you are in a van. The lower field looked very flat and level.

Amber W.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Castle Point was one of the most picturesque camps we've stayed at on our road trip. The view from the very top site was lovely. Very quiet camp at night. The facilities were good and clean.
The staff we're very friendly and had some knowledgable suggestions of the area to walk!

Disliked The washing up area had no hot water, but this wasn't a major issue.

Local attractions

Walking and wildlife are the order of the day here: clamber along the cliffs from Castle Point to Rockcliffe and along the Jubilee Path up the Muckle Knowe; you can also walk along the causeway at low tide from Kippford to Rough Island and its bird sanctuary or take to the hills at Screel, Bengairn and beyond. For something even more strenuous than Scottish hillwalking, follow the signposted trail from Rockcliffe village and climb the Motte of Mark for some stunning views over the Urr estuary and beyond to the Lake District and the Isle of Man. As for wildlife, the area is full of species to stare at, including butterflies, bluebells and summer swallows, with Dumfries and Galloway an all-round nature haven: try the Galloway Red Kite Trail, stamping around with the stags at the Galloway Forest Park, looking for small critters in the beach rockpools or seeing the seabirds from the RSPB centre at the Mull of Galloway. If you prefer two wheels rather than two feet, Castle Point is close to the 7stanes, the seven mountain biking trails across the south of Scotland, and there are numerous cycle trails nearby. Other active options in the area include pony trekking, fishing, sailing and tennis – Kippford is a well-known sailing centre and there are watersports, archery and other activities at Galloway Activity Centre and the Laggan Outdoor Centre. Several nine- and 18-hole golf courses within reach too, with the closest at Colvend Golf Club on the Solway Coast.
