Details checked 6 August 2026 · source: Google Places Loch Ken Holiday Park near Castle Douglas has ten acres with tent and caravan pitches, direct loch access for kayaking, and nearby 7stanes mountain bike centres. ## About Loch Ken Holiday Park Tucked along the shores of Loch Ken on a working stock farm, this spacious ten-acre park pairs stunning water views with direct access to Scotland's outdoor playground. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff and well-maintained facilities, from the heated shower blocks to the clean family washrooms. Pitches are generous—including hardstanding waterfront spots for tourers and an extensive tent field—and the on-site shop stocks essentials when you need them. The real draw is what lies beyond your tent flap. Launch kayaks and paddleboards straight from the park, cast for pike and perch in the loch, or explore the neighbouring RSPB marshes and Galloway Kite Trail. Mountain bikers have two 7stanes centres nearby, while the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park delivers stargazing that's among Europe's finest. The market town of Castle Douglas sits seven miles away, and watersports centres up the road offer everything from wakeboarding to archery—though with two play parks and kids' club activities in summer, younger campers are already spoiled. ## Photos Photos via Google People say this holiday park offers spacious pitches and stunning views of Loch Ken, with direct access for activities like fishing and paddleboarding. Visitors highlight the friendly and welcoming staff, who are always helpful and attentive. They also appreciate the well-maintained site, clean facilities, and the convenience of an on-site shop for essentials.
