Return to New England Bay
When it comes to coast-side sites, New England Bay is one of the greats. Here you will find a long front line of sea-facing pitches, of generous size, or if you prefer, a more sheltered interior pitch. The blocks are well maintained, modern and clean. Additionally, there is an activity room with table tennis and pool tables. This is a place to watch bird life and seals in the wide bay, and probably one of the best places to escape to the natural world. Walk north to find remote spot amongst the dunes, but don't forget to take your binoculars. We loved the inland walk crossing the car park and taking the road to Port Logan, then branching left - see the wardens for details.
Good Experience

September 2016
Lovely big, well kept site with open areas and hidden areas. I have never been before and it was worth walking round the site before deciding where to pitch. (I felt that the person explaining the site to me was a little bit quick in giving me the information - as if she had learned it by rote, hence the walk round) I found a secluded spot which was suitable for my dog and cat! It can be a long walk to the toilet (explaining the 4 stars rather than 5)! lLots of rabbits, dog hell/paradise. Easy access to all areas on The Rhins.

A Great place to be. Even the Rabbits Love it.
This was our first visit to New England Bay Caravan Club Site and in order to reach this site we have had to travel in excess of 400 miles from our home address.
Was it worth it? Without any hesitation the answer has to be YES!!!
The site is located close to the beach and it is impossible to not use it.
The site is fairly large with spacious pitches and when we were there (Early September 2016) there was plenty of room for all.
It appeared that a lot of thought had gone into creating the layout of this site and unlike several other sites we have visited, we felt that the units were not crammed in next to each other.
The Wardens were very friendly and helpful and worked hard to keep everything nice.
It appeared to us that all the rabbits in the world had also gone to this site for their holidays and whilst they are a pleasure to watch, especially the jet black rabbit, they unfortunately leave their calling cards all over the site.
No matter how hard one tries it is impossible to avoid standing on their deposits. The real downside to this is that when the happy camper journeys from Caravan to Shower block, everything which has affixed itself to the soles of the shoes ends up being carried into the shower block and spreads all over the floor.
A simple solution would be to position a good strong doormat at the entrance to the shower block which would then provide somewhere to wipe your feet before entering, thereby removing the “evidence” and preventing it from being taken into the shower block.
Notwithstanding all that, the site is a real Gem and one that we would not hesitate to go back to again.
Lovely site
Fantastic site ,very peaceful, close to the beach.But come on Caravan club ,I know it's cheaper being a member but charging for wi-fi !?!?!? Small moan I know but it's free in most hotels and B a Bs nowadays !

First Time New England Bay
This site was great for us as the Wife wanted a site with a sea view, Most pitches had a view of the sea some better than others, we had a grass pitch but even with rain it was well drained, the facilities were first class, and the staff very helpful even when the wife decided she did not want to stay the Friday night to see now the van handled 50 mph winds the warden help us to change our booking so we could move inland to the CC site at Borrowdale we still got the rain but the wind was less. Yes there are loads of rabbits but even with our two Cockapoos they were not a problem, and the beach was great for walking off lead. would go back again.
Relaxing at New England Bay
Good site and facilities which I never had to queue for. Its a lovely site for just chilling out in or by you outfit and the beach is lovely (mixture of pebbles and sand) with good views. The coastal path is at either end of the Site. There are lovely walks, some from the Site and some in the area. There are a host of gardens to visit and the countryside and coast just has to be explored. There are lighthouses and cafes to visit and The Mull of Galloway is the most southerly tip of Scotland which in good weather offers views of Cumbria, Isle of Man and Ireland. Dumfries and Galloway is a large area often passed by by people travelling south to England or north further into Scotland - many don't know what they're missing.
Beautiful location
We stayed 11 nights on this wonderful site. We had done research to book a site that suits us (without hard standings!!!) This informal site is perfect and the area is beautiful. Loads of places to visit and Mull of Galloway and Southern Uplands Trials to walk. Unfortunately some of the Mull of Galloway trial around the site needed trimming back so don't expect to walk in shorts. Great to switch off, relax and enjoy in a friendly location. We did not use facilities so dropped a star as we could not guarantee they are 5*.
