Non-electric grass and sand touring pitch

Liked: What more do you want for £17.50 a night. We were 30ft from the beach and the view Was to die for. The owner was very friendly and directed us to the local shops which had everything we needed. You do need to be self contained as there is no toilet or shower.

Disliked: There was absolutely nothing to dislike.

Liked: Love this campsite. Located right on the beach away from the busy main road so it’s extremely peaceful. Reasonable price, there is water and toilet waste facilities. Extremely friendly and kind owners. Ground was quite water logged on this visit but hosts extremely accommodating . Within was our second visit and we will def be back.

Local attractions

In the immediate vicinity, you could explore mysterious ancient history at Cairn Holy (five minutes' drive), a set of Neolithic chambered tombs. If you're minded to range far and wide you might also like a spin around the 7Stanes bike park in Dalbeattie (30 minutes). One of the closest castles is at Cardoness (five minutes) in a hilltop location where you can take in far-reaching views, while down by the coast Carsluith Castle (10 minutes) is very well preserved and free to enter. More history and heritage is showcased in Kirkcudbright (15 minutes; pronounced kirk-oo-bree), including Broughton House, a restored Georgian mansion. The town also has a swimming pool for those months when the sea's a bit too chilly for a dip. Newton Campsite is also within easy reach of pretty coastal peninsulas like Isle of Whithorn (40 minutes), a pretty coastal village long associated with St Ninian, who brought Christianity to Scotland. The Rhins of Galloway peninsula (45 minutes) is also well worth a visit if you fancy visiting green spaces like Logan Botanic Garden (an hour) or the southernmost point in Scotland, the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse (an hour and 10 minutes).
