What visitors say
It's the second time my brother and I have stayed there while touring Dumfries and Galloway on our motorbikes. Nice small campsite with nice clean toilet and shower. The owners and wardens are very nice.

Great little campsite find off the main A76, lovely owners, small (maybe max 10-12 units), electrical hookup, toilet & shower spotless, if a little light on flow & pressure - peaceful little glen with the sound of birds and rustling leaves to wake up to. Awesome.

Very peaceful and friendly camp site. A small site, about 15 pitches for tents and camper vans. Electric hookup available, adults only. Dogs welcome. The owners and wardens are very friendly and welcoming, be sure to buy some of Hamish's honey. The site is set in a very rural location, popular with walkers, cyclists and climbers. Fishing and golf courses near by if that's your bag. The only hostelry close by is the Auldgirth Inn, a 40 minute walk to a good, if pricey, restaurant. Dumfries is a 20 minute drive. The much nicer Wigtown just over an hour away. Only one toilet and one shower, but even when busy this wasn't a problem. The facilities are always perfectly clean. There is also a lounge area with pot washing, two electric rings, kettle, toaster, microwave, washing machine (£2), fridge and freezer. This also provides somewhere to shelter if it's wet, with table & chairs and a sofa, though we enjoyed warmth and sun! Lovely experience, to be repeated I'm sure.

Relaxing, quiet and friendly. An ideal base for exploring the area on our motorbikes. No midgies either!
