Powered grass campsite

Liked: Fabulous Campsite. On check-in ,Gary the manager was very helpful and friendly.He visited us a short time after arriving at our pitch to ensure we had no issues. Had a lovely view over Dunskey Castle and the sea. Shower and toilet block very nice and always clean even though it was busy being a bank holiday weekend. Lovely walk down the hill to the village of PortPatrick which has a good selection of bars and restaurants. Nice coastal walks from the site

Local attractions

Take a stroll through the lush waterside plantings at Logan Botanic Garden (half an hour’s drive), where – thanks to the warming presence of the Gulf Stream – palms and eucalyptus trees thrive, while loch-side walks at Castle Kennedy Gardens (25 minutes) lead to the photogenic ruins of a castle and swathes of colourful rhododendrons (the latter in spring). When the kids need a relaxing run around in the fresh Scottish air, take them to Agnew Park (15 minutes) for go-karting, boating and expeditions aboard a mini train. There are walking and cycling trails for all abilities in Galloway Forest Park (45 minutes), where you could also surprise youngsters with feeding the goats at the Wild Goat Park (50 minutes). There are golf courses and fishing lakes within half an hour’s drive, and if you hit an odd rainy day (this being south-west Scotland), pay a visit to the fighter jets in their hangars at Stoneykirk Aviation Museum (15 minutes).
