Peaceful site with lovely shower/toilets
Mollance Farm
Showers/toilets are self-contained, en-suite style, beautiful and clean. As the site is small, you will be close to them. Fairly level pitches, though you might use blocks if you have them. Good location for local walks and cycling. We cycled on back roads to Castle Douglas and to Threave. Close to the A75 but far enough away to not notice at night. We appreciated Linda's review about the entrance! (18/07/23).

Lovely little CL
Mollance Farm
Stopped for 3 nights en route to Isle of Arran, Mull of Kintyre and the Trossachs. Very nicely kept site. Level pitches. Lovely toilets/showers. Pleasant views over a little pond to farmland beyond. Very quiet indeed. Just the sound of birdsong. Nice dog walks from site. Good base for touring Dumfries and Galloway. Castle Douglas has all you need by way of shops with good butchers bakers etc. We enjoyed a drive along the Raiders Road through Galloway Forest with a picnic at Otters Pool. Also had a nice day trip to Port Patrick. Would return. Word of warning the CAMC sign at the (very imposing) entrance from the layby is so faded you can hardly see it. Just trust your instincts that you are in the right place and ignore the apparent no entry sign and drive over cattle grid and up the drive and you will find it!
Good CL
Mollance Farm
We stayed here in early April. The site was easy to find and access good, though there is a fair bit of private single track driveway to negotiate, but it was not a problem. The little loch is home to swans and ducks who kept us entertained. There is a faint noise from the main road, but little traffic overnight.
We were on the first site, pitches are nice and flat, with easy access to the 2 individual shower rooms, water was in the same place and waste water and toilet emptying close by on the other side of the farm road. This road is quite busy, but the big hedge shielded the pitches.
Good shopping and plenty to see in Castle Douglas, and lots of other places around to visit. We have been in the area before, so this time only went down to the coast a couple of times.
The site fee at the time of our visit was £25, which is a bit more than we are used to paying, but if you prefer, or need, showers etc on site, then it is good value.
We mainly use our own on board facilities and preferably look for a CL with serviced hard standings, but could not find anything suitable in the area. Since facilities were available I did use them and they were very good.
Very Good Site
Mollance Farm
After tripping around some very busy parts of england it was so good to get to Mollance Farm for some peace and quiet,we had eight nights there and no complaints it was pretty busy, but the toilet and shower worked well and were clean as usual, Love this CL and recomend it too. No one will have cause to complain about being here,but theres always one that will but theres plenty of room for a moaning minnie
Little gem of a site
Mollance Farm
Arrived to a warm welcome on Friday night from owner and if you need anything nothing is a problem. The site is on a working farm but you hardly know and the kids have plenty of space to roam and explore. The toilets/shower blocks are always spotless. There is a beautiful little lake and its easy to reach Dumfries or Castle Douglas as its just off the A75 so very well located. Will definitely be back.
