Lovely site

Enjoyed a very peaceful couple of nights here. We are caravanners and possibly would have been a bit restricted had we not had the car at our disposal! Approach roads can be a bit bumpy, but well worth the trip. Facilities are excellent and toilet block very clean. We will definitely be re-visiting.

Rabbits everywhere.

We had a very enjoyable couple of days at this site. As we are in the 'older' age group the very helpful wardens suggested where the quiet pitches with a view were. We had a nice pitch not far from the entrance and nearby excellent toilet block. Good walking from the site and our dogs loved watching the rabbits from the window. There appear to be more rabbits than people on this site. A well set out site for its size with lots of sub-areas.

Lovely Site

We have just spent a week at this site and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Although the site is very large the pitches are very well spaced out and varied.  We were sheltered in the gorse bushes and couldn't see another van! The wardens were very friendly and helpful.  There were great walks along the beach and many lovely places to visit.  It was our first visit to Dumfries and Galloway and couldn't believe how beautiful it was.  We did intend to move on to the Lakes but changed our mind and moved to the Garlieston Site - 40 miles away - another hidden gem. We will be back.

Stunning Location.

Beautifully situated site with stunning views.Large spacious pitches with lots of little sheltered enclaves.Friendly helpful wardens. Would be struggling with the facilities if the site was full.

Chips with everything

Lovely site,good location,good wifi..lovely wardens,loads of rabbits..too many campers in motor vans.Pitches are large and varied,some behind hedges. Spectacular views..great for dogs. Good place to get away from it all.Particularly mobile phones..the signal does come and go. Water pressure in the showers was great..facilities are good. The fish and chips are awful.

Great Location

Visited for a couple of nights - third time we have stayed. It's a great site, very well looked after by this year's (and last year's) Wardens. Spacious and less regimented than many CC sites. As we are a couple we picked a pitch between two 2 berth caravans and pitched our motorhome. Fine on the first night but, on the second night, a family of 5 moved in to next doors awning on their 2 berth caravan. They had a baby who (fair enough) got cold on a wild, windy and rainy night. So it wasn't very restful for everyone else ! Surely 7 people on a pitch in a 2 berth caravan should be against the rules ??? I wonder if they even paid or were members at all, given this (like many CC sites in Scotland) is open to all..

Fantastic Location

What a stunning location for a campsite. On a beach with views across New England Bay. Our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed being able to run up and down the beach - it has to be the best dog walking area that the club has.

Excellent site

First time at this site, but not the last. Really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Everything was clean, well maintained and orderly. Only downside (for some but not wife & myself) was lack of mobile signal. Just turn off the mobile for the duration. Heaven!

Beautiful but ................

Stunning location, really helpful and friendly wardens. A caravan club site that is a little less regulated, so was more relaxed in many ways. Grounds lovely, helped by the many, many rabbits to be well manicured. Great site for dog walking and families. Walks good, but watch out for the main roads, the car drivers are shall we say on the fast side. But...... What we felt was a let down to an otherwise great site, was the shower blocks. The one we used had only 3 showers in women's and same in men's. I believe the othe block has an extra 2, but on a site that can and does take 160 units, inevitable queues do form. And that's not good when you have to go out to catch a prepaid ferry! Also in the ladies block, the centre shower had big clumps of grey hair in the runaway drain and it remained there for 6 days. Plus the said block had an 'out of order' sign up on a toilet door for 7 days. So in conclusion please Caravan Club get this sorted, don't let the shower blocks spoil this beautiful site.
