Super site with plenty of space
Highfield
This is a good site with plenty of options to site van. Some hard standing near the entrance. It is generally fairly level but some areas are quite sloping. The only downside is there is quite a lot of road noise as it is next to the main road. The owners are very friendly and helpful with ideas of where to visit. It is located fairly close to Lockerbie on the motorway and makes a good stopover for journeying further north. There are plenty of walks around and some lochs to visit. The ruins of Lochmaben castle are interesting and situated next to the largest loch. We enjoyed our seven nights there and hope to return.
Cannot fault this CL
Highfield
Great little spot. Easy walk into Lochmaben.
Ray and Edna very welcoming.
We will return!

Highfield
We used this lovely site for an overnight stop off on our way up and north and it didn't disappoint. Our welcome was fantastic and both Ray and Edna were so helpful and easy to deal with.
When our electrics didn't want to plug into the car on out departure Ray went above and beyond to help us out, even going into Lockerbie himself to fetch a friend to fix it. Luckily the plug eventually decided to talk to the car so it sorted itself out.
Great dog walking from the site too and lovely to visit the Lockerbie memorial. We did miss the castle unfortunately due to a lack of time.
Will definitely use as a stop off again when we go back up north.

excellent CL
Highfield
We recently stayed here for 4 nights before travelling further South and what a lovely site it is, so much so, that we also stayed here on the way home. It has easy access just minutes from the M74 and only about 10 miles to Dumfries. Beautifully maintained and very friendy owners - what more could you ask for. We will definitely return.
Convenient overnight stopWe used this CL
Highfield
We used this CL as a convenient stop heading north to the Highlands, it being quite close to the A74M near Lockerbie. Easy to find just on the edge of Lochmaben and good access for our twin axle. There are two hardstandings with electric, just inside the gate, and a further two without EHU. Otherwise, there are EHUs along the edge of the site on grass. The site is rather sloping on most of the grassed area, making it difficult to pitch longer outfits (we were able to get a hard standing). The grass was thick and lush on our visit and it was mowed shortly after our arrival. Unfortunately, the grass cuttings were not collected, making a horrendous mess whenever trekking to the water, EHU or chemical waste points. The chemical disposal point was a septic tank with a hatch to empty into it, though on our visit it was virtually full and rather unpleasant. Also the adjacent A709 can get quite busy, and noisy, at times though no problem at night. Didn’t have time to visit the surrounding area but the Kirk Loch in Lochmaben looked attractive and we had a decent meal in the Crown Hotel in the village.
