Under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, wild camping is generally permitted on most unenclosed land, including much of the coastline and forest around Sandyhills, provided campers follow the code's guidance on staying away from buildings and roads, keeping groups small, and leaving no trace. That said, the terrain here is a mix of dunes, low cliffs and working farmland, so pitches need to be chosen carefully, and some stretches of the coast fall within National Trust for Scotland or privately managed land where different rules can apply — it's worth checking locally before pitching a tent. For a more straightforward option, Sandyhills Bay Holiday Park sits directly behind the beach, offering touring and camping pitches as well as wooden glamping pods, with the sand just a short walk away through the dunes. It's a well-established, family-run site that has served the area for decades, with basic facilities including a shop, laundry and shower block, and makes a good base for exploring both the beach and the wider Colvend coast on foot. Dalbeattie Forest, a short drive inland, is another option for those wanting a woodland setting rather than a coastal one, with its network of trails also popular with mountain bikers. The best camping season here runs from late spring through to early autumn, when the weather is at its most settled and the long daylight hours of a Scottish summer make the most of the coastal scenery. Outside these months conditions can turn quickly, with wind and rain rolling in off the Solway Firth, so campers should come prepared for changeable weather whatever the forecast says, and check tide times if pitching anywhere near the shore given the unusual tidal patterns this stretch of coast is known for.
