Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely location close to the sea, polite staff and well equipped store. Seemed like good family place based on the number of kids on site.

Disliked: Place was too busy for our preference, grass cuttings weren’t collected. Bathroom facilities were too far from the normal tent area, water pressure in the wash area too high. Most pitches were not levelled.

This is a dark skies site. By 8 pm there was absolute silence.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: This campsite is in a beautiful area of Scotland. It was competitively priced. There was so much space! By the end of the weekend we had neighbours on either side but it didn’t feel like they were too close.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Chose this site for our annual bank holiday weekend camping trip with friends and their kids. The site was fab, lots of room for the kids to run about, woodland to explore and a huge park to play in. All our kids range from 3 to 12 but there was something for everyone. On our last night around 40 kids played some sort of war game across the site which was so lovely to see them all running and playing. There are even tree swings for them to play on. Shop is reasonably priced and facilities are regularly cleaned. Oh and a deer ran past our groups pitch!

Disliked: The leisure club told us 45 mins for takeaway food and we waited an hour and 40 minutes. Three separate orders went in one fter the other but came 15 mins apart. Prices are high for bar food but it was nice enough when we got it.

Local attractions

Fancy a canter? Brighouse Bay Trekking Centre is adjacent to Brighouse Bay Holiday Park, offering horse riding for all ages and abilities (weather dependent and seasonal) from fully trained staff; ask at the holiday park reception for details. Elsewhere, Dumfries and Galloway is packed with pursuits for all ages and interests – and it must be pointed out here that the ice cream and nature trails of the Cream O’Galloway ice cream factory are a mere 15 minutes away… Also nearby – how clever is Galloway as a visitor destination – the Cocoabean Company at Kirkcudbright has interactive children’s workshops and a chocolate shop (hurrah) alongside well-equipped and roomy indoor and outdoor play areas. While in town, kick around the grounds of 16th-century Maclellans Castle in the centre of Kirkcudbright, and have a look at Broughton House & Garden, former home of one of the Glasgow Boys EA Hormel and housing a huge collection of works by Robert Burns (painter, not poet Rabbie). At Gatehouse of Fleet, about nine miles to the north-west from Kirkcudbright, the Mill on the Fleet art gallery holds regular exhibitions and events like literary launches and talks; follow up a morning here with an afternoon at fifteenth century Cardoness Castle or around the thousands of species blooming around at Cally Palace Gardens. And a few more gems that must be seen on a Dumfries and Galloway holiday: a boat trip to huge Threave Castle on an island on the River Dee; a trip to the Gem Rock Museum at Creetown, filled with fossils, rocks, minerals and gemstones, and a stargazing trip to Galloway Forest Park, the first designated Dark Sky Park in the UK.
