  • Clean, safe family park five minutes' drive from Kirkcudbright
  • Heated outdoor swimming pool
  • Spectacular views over Kirkcudbright Bay
If you're off seawards to the artists' town of Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway, wend your way to Seaward Holiday Park for some arty scenes. It's a small and exclusive park just outside Kirkcudbright, with rather special views over Kirkcudbright Bay to Ross Island and its lighthouse… you should surely be tempted to break out the easel. Seaward is family friendly, pet friendly and very friendly – you'll get a warm welcome here from the helpful team – and has a seasonal outdoor heated pool, an outdoor play area, TV and games room, small shop, wifi, a launderette and heated shower and toilet facilities.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We stayed in the mini lodge for two nights. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The location overlooking the coast was stunning. I appreciated the attention to little things like the cleaning cloths provided in the dishwashing area. There was a cute little herb garden for guests to help themselves to. The facilities were very clean. There is honestly nothing I could complain about the site.

Disliked: Wish we booked a longer stay! 😊

Electric touring pitch

Liked: One of the nicest sites I have ever stayed on the views from the site are lovely. All credit to the warden and his wife for keeping the site looking so good and being so friendly and welcoming. The facilities are some of the cleanest and well kept I have every been in on a campsite. The location is perfect out in the country but still close enough to Kirkcudbright and all its shops and amenities. Would highly recommend and will definitely return

Electric touring pitch

Liked: LOVED this site. We went as one adult and two children under 8, plus a young dog and everyone was so friendly. The pool was open which was an added bonus too! It is a quiet site with the majority of the site being statics / semi permanent pitches which was lovely. Toilet and wash up block clean and tidy and really spacious. Lovely play park, plus a big open grass site with 2 football goals huge added bonus for more playtime! Across a fast road (mainly single track without pavement) to lovely rocky beaches. Walk out of the site and to the right for a couple of hundred yards to a grassy car pack which leads onto the beach without needing to scramble down rocks. No phone signal (ee) but could pay for a week on the WiFi which was perfect.

Disliked: The dog walk was not great and not secure. But very short walk to the beach and nice site to walk around with dog on the lead.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The campsite was excellent, shower block/family rooms were the cleanest I have ever seen. Facilities on the site were great, also the staff were very friendly & were always there to help. Where we put our tent was very flat & the view of the Solway & beach was lovely to sit & have coffee in the morning. We sat out every night looking at the Sun going down on the Solway. This was made better as the weather was great with temps 19-22 for the 10 days. Would highly recommend Seaward to anyone.

Local attractions

Bring the family's bikes if you can, as the famed 7stanes forest trails at Dalbeattie and Kirroughtree are only 30 minutes away from and the Sustrans Route 7 passes right outside the park entrance. (If you haven't brought bikes, hire them just outside the Dalbeattie trail or near the Kirroughtree Forest visitor centre.) By hike rather than bike, there's a wealth of walks around the coast, hills and forests of the area as well as an easy stroll to the sea, shingle cove and sandy beach of Dhoon Bay minutes from the caravan park. Golfers have loads to pick from too including the championship Brighouse Bay course a short drive away along the coast; horse riding, a wildlife conservation park and activity centres are in the region, and the tasty chocolate factory of the Cocobean Company is only 10 minutes' drive away. More gently, the harbour town of Kirkcudbright town has a good clutch of coffee shops and galleries in which to while away the day, as well as the Stewartry Museum with a good collection of works by local artists (there are quite a few). Also recommended is heading to the harbour to watch the fishing boats unload their catch – you might even come over all artistic yourself – and watch them, the yachts and the lifeboats leave Kirkcudbright Bay. Finally, take a stargazing look at spectacular Galloway Forest Park, the UK's first Dark Sky Park and one of only four designated in all of Europe.
