New England Bay is a coastal Club Campsite on the shore of Luce Bay. It is carefully landscaped into seven pitching areas, each with a different character and lovely sea views. The Caravan and Motorhome Club Site has direct access to a clean and sandy beach which is ideal for swimming, sailing, water sports and sea angling. The peaceful and picturesque location also provides an ideal base for exploring the machars and Rhins of Galloway, one of the unspoilt corners of Scotland.
The area surrounding New England Bay Club Campsite has a wealth of wild flowers and bird life, the Galloway Coastal Path follows the site boundary on the beach side and the quiet lanes are ideal for cycling and running. Terally Riding Centre, 2 miles away, offers pony trekking. The nearby RSPB Visitor Centre and Mull of Galloway Lighthouse will provide a range of entertainment and education for you and your family.
The nearby town of Stranraer has golf courses, green bowling, a swimming pool, sports centre, theatre and cinema. There are a number of local gardens to visit including Port Logan Botanic Gardens, Ardwell Gardens and Logan House Gardens, while Castle Kennedy Gardens and Glenwhan Gardens are a pleasant drive from the site. That Marine Fish Pond is a Victorian curiosity. Port Patrick, only a 20 minute drive away, is a pretty harbour with a Lifeboat Station, shops and good places to eat. The Titanic experience in Belfast is a possible excursion from Cairnryan Port.

Fabulous service
New England Bay Club Campsite
We spent a wonderful three nights at this site in June and had great fun cycling in the area. More than this, though, was the incredible kindness shown by Danielle post visit when I accidentally ordered some product to be delivered to the site rather than to me at home. Without any hesitation, she repackaged and sent the items on to me, refusing all offers of postage reimbursment.
I was and am, immensely grateful to Danielle for such amazibg support.
Nice New England Bay
New England Bay Club Campsite
We stayed here for a few nights on our tour around the West Coast and had lovely weather. As the weather was nice the site was quite busy but half the toilets had been locked in toilet block b ( I imagine so they don't have to clean them) I had to ask the warden to open up more! Great access to a sandy beach and as others say quite remote and large spread out site. We took the camper to the Mull of Galloway and was OK , it is a single track road with passing points. Games room on site but was kept locked! Walked to Port Logan across the Mull, didn't take long and there is a footpath that goes across to the road through the back of the picnic area (where there are a lot of wild campers pitched). Saw the Port Logan fish ponds which were great. Can also walk to the Logan Botanic gardens (on a loop) which are well worth a visit.

Remoteness Personified
New England Bay Club CampsiteLarge site, with mainly grass pitches, spread out in a linear fashion along the beach. Make no mistake there are no shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants....anything within walking distance. It is possible to walk to Drummore (7km) , but this would involve the pebbly beach and main road.
However, this is a great spot, with sea views, sunrises and direct access onto the pebble beach. Can imagine it gets windswept, but it was calm for the 4 nights I stayed. The grass pitches are pegged out, but there are no other boundaries, and it does seem a bit random in places. I can't imagine this site gets fully booked, so there should be plenty of choice.
In terms of things to do - Mull of Galloway (Scotland's most southerly point) has a lighthouse, exhibition and cafe (none of which are open on a Friday). I cycled there on quiet undulating roads in about an hour.
Logan Botanic Gardens, didn't go there but looked good and potentially walkable via the pebble beach and main road.
Portpatrick, a small seaside village, which has pubs, cafes, seaside shops, a harbour etc. I cycled there; about the same distance as the Mull of Galloway, on quieter more undulating roads.
My personal favourite was Dumbreddan Bay, which was over the other side and as secluded as you are likely to get, save for the local cows. No parking, or direct road access, but for the adventurous its a 5km walk from site via the pebble beach, farm road and track and a bit of interpretive navigation over a couple of fields, but you are very likely to have this sandy expanse of beach to yourself. IMO well worth the effort!
Need some form of transport
New England Bay Club Campsite
Lovely big site but a bit of a walk to the facilities - if that is an issue for you be sure to ask for a pitch near them. A long walk to reception from our pitch ! Good clean facilities and very friendly staff. We cycled to Mull of Galloway( definitely worth a visit) Narrow road at the end but motorhomes were using it. We also visited Port Patrick in the motorhome ( plenty of parking) . We would have liked to visit the Botanic gardens but no dogs allowed . Take your food supplies with you as there are no supermarkets and no where to walk to for something to eat - you are on the main A road so not safe to walk along. Great sunrises and saw the stoat!
Wide open!
New England Bay Club Campsite
Just visited in August, and were amazed at how open and spacious the site was , giving a sense of freedom you don't often get on European sites. Great access to the beach, easy walk/cycle to Port William. Mull Of Galloway not too far away, but a few hills if cycling. We liked the site.
