About Castle Bay Holiday and Residential Park
Castle Bay Holiday and Residential Park sits just outside Stranraer with stunning coastal views across to Northern Ireland. The pitches are well-maintained – choose from non-electric grass or electric hardstanding – and the shower and toilet facilities earn consistent praise for cleanliness. What really sets this peaceful spot apart is its location: walking paths lead directly to the pretty harbour village of Portpatrick and a welcoming local pub, while the coastal scenery is genuinely spectacular.
The friendly, helpful staff contribute to the relaxed atmosphere, and with dog walks on the doorstep and nearby fishing, golf and horse riding, there's plenty to fill your days. Prices start from around £30 a night, making this a solid, straightforward base for exploring Dumfries and Galloway's rugged south-western corner.

What visitors say
First visit to Castle Bat Holiday Park in our motorhome, the view from our pitch was one of the best looking over to Dunskey Castle and the Irish Sea, an easy coastline walk into the picturesque Portpatrick itself took maybe 15/20 minutes Shower block was great too, plenty of space between pitches and on our visit very peaceful A 5 minute walk to a local pub which served good food, dogs welcome outside only. A good area to explore Dumfries and Galloway
