Kirk Loch Caravan Park
Dumfries and Galloway
Lochside pitches in Lochmaben, nine miles from Dumfries
About Kirk Loch Caravan Park
Kirk Loch Caravan Park sits directly on the banks of Kirk Loch in the small town of Lochmaben, around nine miles north-east of Dumfries, with a genuinely waterside setting that few touring parks in the area can match. The council-run site has around thirty pitches for tents, caravans, motorhomes and small campervans, split between hardstanding and grass, with electric hook-up available at many of them.
The loch is the main event: caravan and camping guests can fish and take out non-powered boats at no extra charge, and the adjoining golf course adds another option for anyone wanting to fill an afternoon without leaving town. Three toilet, shower and laundry blocks serve the site, kept to a good standard according to long-running independent reviews, and the compact size means it never feels overrun even in the busier summer weeks.
Lochmaben itself is a quiet market town with a handful of shops, pubs and a bakery, enough for day-to-day essentials without a drive back into Dumfries. The park's setting suits anyone after a simple, unfussy lochside pitch rather than a resort-style holiday park, and its position just off the A709 makes it an easy stop for touring caravans passing between Dumfries and the Borders, as well as a solid base for exploring Nithsdale and the Annandale valley.
