Fantastic site
Great pitches with plenty of space ..
The site is one of the best on the network but don't tell anyone.
The staff are friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us.
Will definitely be back.

Spacious grassy site, right on the beach
This was the first CAMC site we had stayed at and we were hugely impressed. Wide spacious pitches, mostly grass, uncrowded and in a beautiful setting right on the beach, ‘in the middle of nowhere’, yet still plenty to do, find and explore in the surrounding area. Roads in the vicinity were so quiet it felt perfectly safe to cycle on them. We will be returning, that’s for sure.
Forth time and counting
We just had our 4th visit and booked another week in August, can't get enough of the big pitch spaces, great beach and crystal clear water, peace and quiet, excellent Vodafone 4G signal, great staff, perfect for wind surfing and inflatable flamingoes
Never changing, always the best.
We first came here in 1976 with two young children who loved the wide open space and the beach and sea. For the past 15/20 years or so we’ve been every year and still love it. It’s as perfect for two rather decrepit oldies as it was for a young family back in the day. Yes, it’s not near a shop, but the village shop in Drummore is only 4 miles away and has everything you could want. The pitches are almost level (maybe just one board needed on some), and the long empty beach is just over the small dune.
Only one complaint - where have all the rabbits gone?
right by the sea
wardens were nice, but the site was just ok, the pics show a lovely sandy beach, but stones everywhere, had to carry the dogs over them to get to the water, had to try a few pitches to get one that my levellers could handle, nothing here...would i go back 100% NO.

Great site, shame about the electrics
Fantastic site in a wonderful setting. Magnificent views over Luce Bay and the surrounding area is so beautiful. Several wonderful nearby gardens to visit. In particular I would recommend Glenwhan Gardens. Stunning! The site is mostly grass pitches which are well spaced out. However during our visit the site had major electrical problems. The mains bollard we were connected to blew completely one evening, so ourselves and 2 other caravans were without electricity until mid-afternoon the next day. Lots of people had issues with their electrics. Could be because the site was full. I think this needs properly investigated.
Wonderful site
This is a lovely site with large, well-spaced out pitches separated by gorse and other bushes, offering a measure of seclusion. Beautiful views of the bay. Delighted to find there were so many birds singing in the bushes - we had a resident yellowhammer who sang his heart out every morning for us as well as linnets. Beautiful walks along the coast either on the shore or through fabulous gorse- enclosed coastal path. Lots of birds to be seen on the shore and in the bushes - we only stayed two nights but saw turnstones, ringed plovers and lots of whitethroat. Great place for birders. The couple managing the site were lovely and really helpful, the site itself immaculately clean. Comfortably large shower cubicles.
Nowhere walkable to buy a paper or provisions so recommend you come stocked up for the length of your stay as the shops in the nearby villages are small.
A trip to the Mull of Galloway is the highlight of a stay here. The last part of the road to the Mull is single track and very narrow - and long - and may be difficult for very large vans. Well worth a visit to it, though we were disappointed by the lack of birds on the Mull itself - it is on an accessible RSPB site. Do take the circular coast path north from the car park by the lighthouse, starting from the tea rooms and through the gate which has a warning that the coast may be dangerous. There is plenty of distance away from the edge and the obvious, easy path follows a wire fence. You will be rewarded with stunning steep cliffs with nesting guillemots, razorbills and cormorants (we went in May). The path turns right through a field with cattle and crosses the road you drove up to the car park. We crossed over to the path back on the other side of the Mull but it was a much harder walk on narrow stony paths and we didn't see much of the coast - which was nowhere near as interesting as the first half of the walk - as we had to keep a close look at where we were putting our feet. Also very boggy in places. An easier option - and one we should have preferred ourselves had we known - is to walk back along the access road to the lighthouse when you reach it.
There is an easy two mile walk from the site along a quiet small road (we were passed by one car in total there and back) bordered by lovely countryside, crossing the peninsular to Port Logan, a pretty little village with a nice bay, very quiet and unspoilt. We saw gannets diving and ate the best ice-cream I have ever eaten from the van by the shore. Other than that, take a drive to charming Port Patrick up the coast (we stopped off there on our way down to the site) - it really is lovely and we had the added bonus of seeing black guillemots in the harbour. They sell good Scots pies (mutton/haggis/steak - all delicious) in the local bakery there.
Not a great deal of variety to do at this site if you want to see as much as possible, but more than enough for our two night stay and we had a lovely stay. I can highly recommend it.
Stunning location
First time to this site and WOW! It’s a perfect place to get away from it all it’s peaceful beautiful and isolated. We just spent 4 nights here we had a pitch at the front with a sea view ,we walked along the beach,fished off the rocks at Myroch point went to Port Patrick for the day which is worth a visit. Warden was so friendly and welcoming,we will definitely be back 👍
Beautiful and spacious site
This is a lovely site in a beautiful corner of the country and blessed with an excellent management team.
There are excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and any beach-based activities.
There is a coastal footpath that runs right by the site and the Arwell Pond Walk is recommended. It is also possible to walk to Port Logan, less than 2 miles away on the west side of the peninsula, along a very quiet lane.
Cycling is very pleasant along the quiet local lanes and the ride to the Mull of Galloway is recommended.
I feel sure we will be back.
Great site
We stayed here 3 nights one of the best sites we have stayed at staff very friendly and helpful
Site behind beach and surrounded by broom so lovely smell on pitches which were well spaced out
