  • Quiet park within walking distance of Gatehouse of Fleet
  • In a wildlife haven and a few miles from the coast
  • Use of sister park with pool, restaurant, gym and solarium
If you're after a quieter vibe at a family holiday park in Dumfries and Galloway, you'll very much like Anwoth Caravan Park. This is the sister site of Auchenlarie Holiday Park (also on Pitchup.com), in a peaceful wildlife haven setting near the pretty town of Gatehouse of Fleet and in an area that's inspired Scottish bards and artists for centuries. But – what genius – guests at Anwoth can also use the facilities at Auchenlarie, which is about four miles/seven minutes' drive along the A75 (turn right on leaving Anwoth and look for Auchenlarie signposted on the left) and which has a heated indoor pool, restaurant, takeaway and leisure centre with gym and solarium among loads loads more. Entertainment and leisure passes are available for day use, short breaks or weekly stays: buy on arrival at Anwoth. But back to the peace and quiet… Anwoth is in an area where you can sit still and see a lot of wildlife: herds of deer regularly roam the surrounding landscape, you might see otters if you're very very quiet, and you'll likely spy birds of prey and red squirrels among the many local species. This is also serious angling locale, particularly for salmon and trout fishing in the nearby rivers Esk, Annan, Nith, Ken, Dee and Cree. Anwoth has a launderette, washing facilities and a shower and toilet block on site. Restaurants, cafés, bars, craft shops and a well-stocked convenience store are at Gatehouse of Fleet a short walk away; the town has a local bus service too.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet site, staff very friendly and helpful. The toilet/shower facilities are the best I've ever seen, each cubicle is self contained with a toilet, shower and basin. There is a washer and dryer and also a iron and ironing board which I have never seen at a campsite.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Mark the park warden was very friendly and welcoming on arrival to the park and for the duration of our stay.The park is very clean and well maintained as is the shower/toilet block.I would probably visit the site again. of all the sites we have stayed at ,Anworth has the best shower/toilet block.

Disliked: One thing that got me annoyed was a resident from one of the caravans allowed her dog to foul on the grass area where the tents pitch up.She didn't even attempt to pick it up even tho it is clear sign posted to clear up after your dog.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Gorgeous wee site. So very quiet and peaceful but a very short walk to Gatehouse of Fleet with pubs restaurants and a local well priced Spar. Mark the warden is so very friendly with lots of local knowledge, hints and tips. An excellent base to explore gorgeous local beaches or just relax!

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Anyone with any sense should be quite the fan of Dumfries and Galloway, for many, many reasons including its wildlife and birdwatching, its lush landscape and the evidence of its rich history, archaeology and art in its castles, towers, abbeys, earthworks and standing stones. And did you know that JM Barrie had the idea for Peter Pan while in Dumfries – and that nearby Sanquhar has the oldest post office in Scotland…? Paul, Neil and Bob (the latest generation of Swalwells to own Amwoth Caravan Park) also suggest a look at Whithorn, on the southern tip of the Machars peninsula and the seat of Christianity in Scotland, and at Lochmaben as the birthplace of Robert the Bruce. And if you like reading Rabbie, you might also like to see Dumfries, home and resting place for famed Scottish poet Robert Burns. Ecclefechan, the birth town of Thomas Carlyle, is also within reach – do be sure to have an Ecclefechan butter tart while you're there.
