Final site of the September Autumn Gold 2020 tour
This was an unexpected bonus extra night on the 2020 Autumn Gold September tour during the return home to S.West Scotland.
It is in a beautiful valley and river location just a couple of miles on from the top end of Moffat. The booking was straightforward and easy to do and clear instructions given as how to arrive at the site. Yes the site is up a cul-de-sac lane which is narrow in some parts but very little traffic was using it during the stay so no problems and well worth the few minutes of concern about a vehicle coming the other way ... passing places exist anyway! The 5/6 hardstandings at the site are narrow for sure but there is plenty of space either side of them to pitch an awning if desirable ... a couple had picnic benches as well Didn't see any 'pools of water' on the hardstandings even though the arrival was in rain conditions. 2 Water taps were available and no more than a few metres from any of the hardstandings.The spotless and clean single shower and toilet amenity block was fine though I do agree there was a small area of flaky paint on one wall so a lick of paint would brighten it all up. The CDP and grey waste disposal was no problem at all and included a good length of hose attached to a water tap for cleaning down. On the evening of the stay the skies cleared revealing a plethora of stars to wonder at whilst listening to owls on the prowl. The following day dawned lovely and sunny with fingers of mist on the hills and above the line of the river.
This site hit the mark and finished of the tour in delightful fashion. A Gem not to be missed and for sure is a 'return to' site

Lovely views but needs TLC
Terrific views and very peaceful. Good spacious washroom facilities. Limited manoeuvring space and hard standings very small. Our 7 metre caravan stuck out a bit. Some of the hard standings had pooled water. Would have struggled with an awning as grass looked as if had not been cut for some months. Definitely a site for smaller units. The only grey water point was the chemical disposal point that involved lifting the waste container nearly 30cm. All things considered expensive at £17 a night plus 50 pence for a dog and £1 for an awning. Needs more regular attention.
Expensive but idyllic.....
The cost of the site was £17 per night and we had to pay 50 pence for the dog. This is the most we have paid for a night out in our van.
There is no TV reception and no mobile network so if you want to get away from it all this is an ideal place for you. The scenery was fantastic and very nice and quiet. The shower was clean and Mrs long was so friendly when collecting the monies.
Overall an expensive rate but ideal if you want to spend time talking to your travel companion.
Quiet and beautiful
A lovely if very small site. So peaceful and beautiful views.
Moffat is a very friendly town with all you could need. If you are there when the farmer's market is on, we can recommend the fish man and also the pie stall. Top quality food.
Also, have dinner at Claudio's, it was exceptional food.
Visit the Devil's Beef Tub and have a look at the bottom.....
Expensive for what is is
The Site is £17 a night even though it shows £15 0n the website. The pitches are hard standing but very small. The grass was very long while we was there. To get to this site you go down a very long narrow lane, about 2 1/2 miles long, there is passing places but there is tractors going up and down all day long. I think it is expensive for what you get.
