Why stay here ...

A very quiet and peaceful site with open countryside surrounding the location. A pond is also on site with ducks. It is a wonderful place for watching wild birds, red squirrels, and red kites. There are also glorious sunsets throughout the year. The farm is a traditional Galloway farm with hens and pretty little Ouessant sheep, and would not be out of place in a story book.

There are toilets and a shower on site and electric hook ups.

PLEASE NOTE: We can take motor homes but due to the grass pitch in wet weather this can be difficult for heavier vehicles. Suitable for smaller motorhomes. You can be pulled out by tractor if necessary!

PLEASE NOTE: This CL does not offer electric car charging. The nearest facility is in New Galloway.

Lovely peaceful site

Blowplain Farm
We stayed three nights in July 2022 while visiting the nearby activity centre at Loch Ken. Pitches are ample in size, power and water nearby. Good 4G signal. The loo block has two loos one of which has a shower. The owner is a lovely lady who showed us the site and was always happy to chat. The visitor room has a guestbook and lots of books to loan. Nice views from the site and quiet roads to walk. There are ducks and chickens and surrounding fields have pretty sheep. The site is easy to find and access is good.

Beautiful start to our holiday

Blowplain Farm
This is a gem of a site, run by a lovely lady, Mary. The site is very hidden, out of the way down a long lane. When you arrive it is just lovely, the surrounding views are beautiful and the site itself is charming, a lovely secluded field with a pond surrounded by an arboretum planted by the owners. The facilities are very good and Mary is very welcoming and kind. It was the first stop for us in Scotland on our holiday and we loved it. Would visit again without doubt.

A little gem

Blowplain Farm
What a lovely site & warm welcome from the owner. Quiet & peaceful with lovely views. Arboretum full of daffodils when we visited. Slight drawback, satnav GPS co-ords in handbook 1 mile out. Would definitely visit again.

Why we always use CLs

Blowplain Farm
Mary runs a beautifully quiet and tranquil site. It is well laid out to grass with a pond that has Indian Runner ducks and Moorhens amongst other species of bird life. Access to the site is easy enough if you follow the directions given in the club directory. Once unhooked we did try another two ways to get off site, both easy enough solo. We will return here when next in this neck of the woods. Thanks again Mary for a very enjoyable stay. Laurence & Hazel Mitchell.
