## About Mossband Caravan Park

Tucked into quiet countryside just outside Kirkgunzeon, this family-run park makes an excellent base for exploring Dumfries and Galloway's coast and hills. Alan and Christine Knott have created a genuinely welcoming spot where panoramic views sweep south toward the Solway and east to Criffel, with woodland and coastal walks all within easy reach. The site offers both grass and hardstanding pitches, all with optional electric hook-up, plus hot showers, a small laundry, and a secure bike lock-up.

Though compact, Mossband feels peaceful rather than cramped, and its location on a local bus route is handy for those wanting to explore without the car. Nearby activities span fishing, golf, sailing, and mountain biking. A solid, unpretentious choice for couples, families, and walkers seeking a scenic, low-key Galloway escape.

Ron Grundy ★★★★★

A really peaceful residential site. Only for over 45s. No facilities, it's just a residential park not a holiday destination. Everyone is friendly and helpful.
