An ideal location for a relaxing holiday, Garlieston Club Campsite is both peaceful and picturesque. Divided into two sections for choice of comfort, one section of the caravan park offers beautiful views overlooking the bay, while the other provides a far more secluded and sheltered space for those who enjoy extra privacy and quiet. All non-awning pitches and a limited number of awning pitches are located in the part overlooking the bay, while all pitches in the walled area accommodate awnings.
Garlieston Club Campsite gives you easy access to the rural charms of Garlieston village, geared towards farming and leisure. Many of the attractive cottages in the crescents that wrap around the bay are holiday homes, and pleasure craft now share the harbour with a few fishing boats. The caravan site is well located for fishing, boating, cycling and walking, with adjacent access to a coastal path leading to the famed azaleas and rhododendrons of Galloway House Gardens. The sandy beach at Rigg Bay, where wartime Mulberry Harbours were tested, is an excellent place to spend a summer day. If you're happy to venture further afield, The Galloway Forest Park offers 300 square miles of beautiful moorland, lochs and mountain tops to explore.

what a lovely place
Garlieston Club Campsite
our first time with the club and site and couldn't wish for a better start to our time. Edgar and his wife are great hosts and make you feel very comfortable and welcome.
They look after the site really well and are happy to help with anything you need or want to know.
The facilities are spotless and really clean and warm. A handy laundry room helps if you are away for a longer period or have kids!
the view across the bay and of the mountains in the distance is a great back drop to your stay.
loved the local pub a short walk away, great food. a few more steps away is the Hive coffee shop serving great food and loads of wonderful home made cakes.
loved this place so much that we have booked to go back in the summer.

Great stopover - beautiful location
Garlieston Club Campsite
Used this site as a one night stopover during our holiday.
Quite busy, but not noisy.
Views and the sunrise at the beach are wonderful.
Will be happy to visit again.
Last outing of 2023
Garlieston Club Campsite
Having watched the havoc storm Babet was causing in Aberdeenshire ,Highland, Moray ,Perthshire and Fife our original plans had to change as we were initially heading for the Moray Firth for our last trip of 2023.
We didn't want to go too far from home and it seemed that Dumfries and Galloway was a good place to go to avoid the
Storm.
Well......what a lucky change it turned our to be ! We chose Garlieston and what a find ! A beautiful little site, nestled in South West Scotland on the Solway Firth.
A small beautifully maintained site with two fabulous local wardens Judith and Edgar, who were a mine of information.
A site with stunning scenery, peaceful surroundings, nice local walks ,pub, fishing and not to many dogs.
It is split into two halves. One half in a walled garden area and the other with stunning views of the hills and sea.
Shower blocks a bit dated and only two showers per block but spotlessly clean and at this time of year not too busy. Not sure what it would be like in the height of season.
We had a wonderful time there and would thoroughly recommend this little jewel in the Dumfries and Galloway countryside. We will definitely be back. Stunning !!

Garlieston Club CampsiteExcellent site over looking the bay and harbour. The new lay out of the pitches are a great improvement, but the toilet on the main site is really starting to show its age. The two night i was there there in mid October the floor was never dry. this maybe because there was no heating, the radiators were cold. Spoke to the male warden about how cold it was in there only to be told it was working and set at 20c and there was nothing he could do about it.
Lovely site
Garlieston Club Campsite
We love to stay at this site on our way to and from the ferry to N Ireland as it is very handy to Cairnryan and Stranraer. The wardens are very friendly and helpful and the sites are all very spacious and tidy. There are lovely walks along the shore beside the site. We got the bus to Wigtown this time to visit the amazing selection of bookshops, very interesting. The Harbour bar across the road has a great atmosphere and lovely reasonably priced food. Make sure to book in advance as it is very popular. A great site!
