Why stay here ...
We are a new Caravan and Motorhome Club CL site located just in Scotland outside Gretna Green with easy access from A74(M).
We are in an ideal location for visiting Gretna Green, Hadrians Wall, Carlisle, the North Penines, Dumfries and Galloway coastal trail and Northern Solway. We are only 1 hour from Keswick in the Northern Lake district and 1/2 an hour from Penrith. The Scottish Borders, The Rievers trail and Keilder Forest are also easily accessed destinations as well. Glasgow and Edinburgh are an easy 2 hour drive away making an ideal stop off point if going to or from the Highlands or heading to or from the South of England.
Please note we are an over 16's site - The site is situated on a 'Parcel of Land' beside a Grade II listed Steading farm house. It is situated by the A74M and uses the Gretna services exit ramps for access.
We have 5 pitches all with a hardcore base, each has a grassed area for awnings or porches! Dogs are allowed and a good off road walk is available on country lanes 50 yards from the entrance. There are motorway services (Gretna Services) available 24 hour a day within a 10 min walk/2 min Drive.

Convenient CL
The Haven
A nice welcome by David and his dog and we were allocated a pitch with EHU. He did say he was expecting 2 other guests so we needed to use a pitch nearer the A74(M) which can be heard, but it is a constant noise so does not disturb too much.
When we awoke next morning no other guests had arrived. I do hope they contacted the owner as he may have turned down others. Perhaps we need to give our membership number when we reserve a pitch without having to pay a deposit.
Very convenient for Gretna Green Blacksmiths shop and the Caledonian Outlet centre with good parking for mootorhomes at both.
A bit tricky to find but a very nice little site. There is constant noise from M74 which might bother some (not me)
The Haven
The instructions for finding The Haven are probably OK but it is a bit odd as you have to go into Gretna services exit and then basically go into a small side road that looks like no entry! Next time I'll know...
Nice level pitches on hardstanding and 3 have EHU. I struggled to get elec but suspect I should have turned the grey knob...however it wasn't crucial and I didn't want to disturb the owner again. Next time I'll know...
Very freindly man and we had a good chat about local-ish issues. Didn't use the water or waste. I'm sure i will be back as very convenient just off the M74, which yes you can hear almost all the time, however, I actually had one of the best nights sleep in ages!
Good for a stopover
The Haven
We stayed for one night on a trip to Scotland. Nice site, a good welcome and for the price it was great… but be prepared for the road noise…
Ideal overnight stop
The Haven
Just a 2 minutes drive or few minutes walk from the A74(M) service area near Gretna Green, the site is a good stopover point travelling North or South, whether or not you need the Service area facilities.
The Haven is easy to access, well laid out, tidy, reasonably level, 3 EHU, 2 non-electric pitches and despite only booking at the last minute, the owner responded promptly and emailed a helpful site map and dog-walking route.
Given proximity to the motorway there is traffic noise throughout the night but we didn’t find it too intrusive and slept like logs!.
