Beautiful site
large open site all grass pitches. it slopes slightly towards the sea but it is also terraced so no problem with levelling. we pitched on the front right up the end, we were protected from the beach by sand dunes but the beach was about 100 yards through the dunes to a beautiful sandy beach perfect for walking the dogs. lots of circular walks off the site all available from the tourist information hut on the site. fish and chips available Friday and Wednesday evenings are were delicious. pretty decent shop in the office too serving local ice cream - lovely. we had a really enjoyable few days here on our way to Ireland, the tidal sea pond is interesting and worth a visit as is the lighthouse. we would go again our dogs loved the beach
Fantastic as always
Just returned from another lovely stay.
As always, all the wardens were hard working, friendly and helpful.
The shop is well stocked compared to previous years, and the site is perfectly kept.
The only downside for us this time was some inconsiderate visitors on site who let their kids play and ride their bikes around our van, which kept us on edge somewhat!
Also some visitors were driving onto the beach over any point they chose and not the vehicular access part. Not a massive issue but it seems a shame to damage the beautiful scenery through idleness or ignorance.
Will definitely return, as this is our favourite ever site.
Thank you to all the lovely wardens who as usual were brilliant.
A wonderful quiet site.
My wife & i just had out first 4 night stay here & were heartbroken to leave, the views are stunning the weather was typically Scottish (wait 5 mins for it to change) The beach is less than 100yrds from the edge of the site & fishing anywhere along the coast is permitted, this has to be what a perfect site looks like, but there is one thing, the facility's, while these is nothing wrong with them & there are two blocks on site they just seem rather small for the amount of people that can be on site, on one occasion i had to wait around for a toilet to become free, ok i didn't wait too long but not everyone can hold on, otherwise we will be back we hope our net stay is just as good as this one,
Finally i love my Motorhome and when driving it, us Motorhomers wave to each other like old friends, yet when on site people rarely even say hello? Come one people be sociable.
Room with a view
This was a pretty large campsite but had the advantage of offering pitches with views, pitches with privacy or pitches with a bit of both. The pitches on the front, whilst enjoying uninterrupted views were more open to the elements and any movement on site. We chose a pitch at the back of the site where they are quieter and largely screened by gorse bushes. To the front of our pitch was an open area of wildflowers leading up to the hillside. It was idyllic.
Perfect for nature
Four nights at probably the best club site we've visited. Been a member for seven years and loved the site. Perfect for nature lovers and dog walkers.
Well worth a visit.
Great beach site
Stayed for 3 nights at the end of April. Great site, spread right along a sandy beach. There are also more secluded areas set back from the beach among the broom. We chose one of those, and had a magnificent view of a bluebell covered embankment at the back of the site.
Loos were clean (as ever with CAMC), although the ladies on the closest block seemed to have some flooding problem which was being worked on. There was another block further along, so just a minor inconvenience.
There are rabbits running everywhere here, which is fun, but if you have any great hang-ups about rabbit poo, this might be a problem... Just leave your shoes outside!
Great holiday.
Beautiful outlook over the sea, very neat and well laid out pitches, either overlooking the sea or tucked in amongst the gorse.

NEW ENGLAND BAY TOP MARKS AGAIN!!
We've just returned from a 8 night stay here on this site and its just how it was when we stayed there 5 years ago, the wardens were very friendly and helpful, its perfect for dog walking or the kids straight on to the beach, toilets and showers were spotless as usual. This site is faultless and we would highly recommend this to all caravaners, 10 minute drive and you are in Stranraer, and other nice places to visit such as Portpatrick and Port Logan, and a nice pub just 5 minutes drive away which serves lovely meals is the Clashwannon Pub in Drumore.
Fabulous!
Got home today from 4 nights at New England Bay. We did not want to come home. The site is very easy to find following the website directions. The welcome at reception was warm and friendly and we were told we had a good choice of pitches as 20 pitches had been vacated that morning and of course the end of September is a quiet time of year. We got pitched up along the front overlooking the beach. Trip up and you almost land on the beach it’s that close! The weather for the most part was lovely. We were treated to the most wonderful sunrise everyday and watching the harvest moon rise and reflect on a calm sea was magical. There is very little light pollution in the area so we would try and return when there is no moon do some star gazing. Galloway is of course a dark sky site. We had a good time exploring the area and we will certainly be back. There are some very nice beaches around the area and most places have parking places so it’s great for jumping out and having an explore before moving on somewhere else.
On Tuesday evening there was a chip van on site which served the nicest chips we’ve had in a long time. Another evening a van selling fresh fish drove around the site.
We are already trying to work out when we can return.
