What visitors say
Great little site . Quiet and out of the way. I took my dog there to hide from the November fireworks and it was peaceful and also good base for exploring the area .

Fantastic campsite and very quiet. Just right for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. Site owners are great and Matt was very helpful when my car would not start. Such a friendly warm welcoming site with great walks and a lovely Loch close by to explore. I will be booking again for next year as I enjoyed it that much. Thank you Matt and Lucy. All the very best.

Delightful quiet campsite about 15 minutes drive out of Dumfries. Five minutes walk takes you to Lochrutton Loch which you will probably have all to yourself.
