Another visit....a lovely place.
Another visit to one of our favorites. As always the site was in excellent condition and the facilities spotlessly clean thanks to the hard work of your hosts Anne and Martin ......... both are always cheerful and it seems nothing is too much trouble. Even accepting our Amazon stuff while we were out enjoying ourselves.
If you are looking for peace and quiet in a lovely place this is for you.
We have booked again already.

Fantastic location
We stayed for two nights on our Scottish trip. Our pitch was located in the walled garden which did not have a sea view but was secluded, spacious and very quiet. The warden team could not do enough for us including delivering our Amazon delivery bringing forgotten essentials.Nice walks along the shores with a great information centre. Highly recommend.
Lovely peaceful site
We visited this site for a weekend break lovely peaceful site and was kept beautifully clean and tidy.
No queuing for showers at anytime even though site was full.
will definitely be going back.
Lovely beach side site
We stayed at this site in August as a family with a child age 6 in a small campervan.
The site facilities were always clean and never busy. The team on-site were friendly, chatty and welcoming throughout our visit.
The site has toilets, showers, laundry and information room. There is no shop but the petrol station has most things you need looked milk, meat and other food supplies.
Our 6 yr olds loved the site and the other residents were really friendly too. We spend our time walking, geocaching, rock pooling, playing on the beach, biking up and down the quite lanes. There are no child activities on site but if you love the outdoors there are plenty of things to do without moving your van.
We used the village shop / garage, pub, chippy van on Friday and bingo in the hall on Fridays too.
All in all a lovely site with great scenery and walks from the door.
Regular visitor to Garlieston
We have been visiting this site on a regular basis for a good many years. Our last visit was from13th to16th August. As always the site was in excellent condition and the facilities spotlessly clean thanks to the hard work of Anne and Martin who are the wardens.
The area is great for walking and cycling. The local hotel does great food and the guy who has the garage will order rolls, papers and other provisions for you.
As I said in my last review the toilet facilities could do with a face lift and although Anne and Martin keep them spotlessly clean they cannot update them.
So my challenge to the club administration is let me see if you bother reading the reviews and respond to my request for upgrading. We use club sites whenever we can and certainly in Scotland stay at sites that are not as busy but have been upgraded. Come in club give me a response!
Pretty Harbour Gem
Return visit to this site, located in a small town overlooking Wigton Bay. The site is divided into two halves, one walled garden area and the other the harbour view. Pitches along the harbour wall give an amazing vista over the Bay but can get very crowded as the grass between hard-standings are also allocated as pitches during high season. We were on pitch 6 which was lovely and spacious.
The facilities are a little dated - I could not get one of the showers to operate, which left only 1 working cubicle. The hairdryer is very low power too but adequate if you are patient. The motorhome service point is in the walled garden area only, which can be a little tight if you have a large outfit.
There is a bus stop right outside of the site but the timetable is a little erratic - you can get to places but there can be long waits for the return journeys. The town itself is pleasant to walk around, The Harbour Inn is always worth a visit, and the locals play crown green bowls even in wet weather. Delicious mobile fish and chip van arrived on Friday evening (4pm - 7pm) and very good prices.
The harbour/bay is dog friendly all year round when the tide is out. There is a lot of history attached to Garlieston, so worth wandering around, reading the information and visiting the 'museum' in the community hall.
Will definitely be back for a third visit.
Best Relief Wardens A***
We have had a relaxing wonderful week at Garlieston, we had the pleasure of the relief wardens looking after the site & ourselves while there.
They were polite very friendly & had a warm welcome for visitors/members on site. I read the review below and I'm afraid I disagree with the comments left about the relief wardens. They kept the site very clean & tidy, they both worked extremely hard, they couldn't do enough for you they gave us some dental sticks for our dogs.
The views are fantastic, the beach gorgeous for the dogs and only 2 mins away.
Just go & you won't be dissapointed
Well located site in a welcoming village
A great location - we stayed on the harbour side and enjoyed the views. The walk from the site around the coastline to Galloway House Gardens was a highlight and we loved our cycle ride to the Isle of Whithorn too. Even managed a paddle in the bay while the tide was in. The Harbour Inn is perfectly located for drinks and food and the locals we met were very friendly. The village has an interesting history and we will definitely stop here again next time we visit this part of Scotland. Facilities-wise, the showers are old and slope the wrong way so it gets very messy with water running out into the corridor if you have your shower turned on full.
