Real back to basics site except with great toilets, showers etc with the glamping option. Amazing pricing, almost 50% less than other nearby sites. However, no nightclubs, stag/ hen dos, just listen to nature and unwind. Can’t fault it. No overcrowding, intermittent fire pits around the area, and amazing dark Sky’s that will Amaze 4 months ago · via Google Hayley Gordon ★★★★★ Fantastic stay in the Lodge at Balloch O’Dee. Owners helpful and welcoming. The Lodge was well equipped with comfortable beds and very reasonably priced. Fantastic place. 2 months ago · via Google Lu lu ★★★★★ I love this place, there are rooms or tents you can book The owners are very kind and showed us around There is no bath and the showers are nice and hot I love the different coloured bathroom Ita alot cleaner than I thought considering most of it is outside Hook up are available 5 months ago · via Google Alexander Watson ★★★★★ Beautiful campsite in a lovely setting. We were lucky with perfect weather, but what really stood out was how well-kept everything was — from the flowers to the facilities. The toilets were honestly the best I’ve ever seen on a campsite, spotless and clearly cared for. Hazel, who I spoke to when checking in, was lovely and welcoming. I’d hazard a guess she’s the one maintaining the gardens and facilities herself, and she does an amazing job. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area, and we’ll certainly be back 11 months ago · via Google [More campsites in Newton Stewart](https://staycation.co.uk/newton-stewart/camping) ★ 4.8 (350 reviews) [Book on Pitchup](https://www.pitchup.com/campsites/Scotland/Scotland/Dumfries_and_Galloway/Newton_Stewart/balloch-odee-campsite-and-trekking-centre/) [Visit website](http://www.ballochodee.com/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=campsite) [01671 830708](tel:01671830708) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Newton Stewart **County** Dumfries and Galloway **Dogs allowed** ✅ Yes **Electric hook-up** ✅ Yes 🏨 ### Prefer a hotel nearby?
