With space for just a handful of pitches, it's the sort of place where campfires crackle under big skies and wildlife sightings come thick and fast. Facilities are simple but thoughtful—showers, washing-up area, communal fridge and ice pack freezing—while the welcoming approach extends to everyone from Duke of Edinburgh groups to adults-only couples seeking quiet. The location puts you within reach of coastal walks, kayaking, climbing and sailing, though you'll need to head to nearby shops for supplies. It's genuinely remote, so expect minimal light pollution and maximum birdsong. A brilliant find for anyone after wild camping vibes without sacrificing all creature comforts. ## Good to know ### Accessibility - ✓Accessible parking - ✓Accessible entrance ### Payment - ✓Credit cards - ✓Debit cards Details via Google — worth confirming with the site before you travel, especially for access needs. ## Photos Photos via Google ## Can I bring...? ⛺ Tent pitches ✓ Yes ⚡ Electric: not specified 🚐 Caravans welcome ✕ No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome ✓ Yes ✨ Glamping available ✕ No 🛖 Lodges & statics ✕ No ## Hook-up ⚡ Electric hook-up ✓ 🔌 EV charging ✕ ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers ✓ 📶 Free WiFi ✕ 🏊 Swimming pool ✕ 🛒 Onsite shop ✕ 🎠 Children's play area ✕ 🍖 BBQs allowed ✕ 🔥 Campfires allowed ✓ 🧺 Laundry ✕ 🎣 Fishing ✕ 🛁 Hot tub ✕ ♿ Accessible facilities ✕ 🅿️ Hardstanding pitches ✕ 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site ✕ 🧒 Good for children ✕ 🚻 Toilets on site ✓ Ice pack freezing Shower available Toilet block Washing-up area D. of E. welcome Family friendly Motorcycle friendly Single-sex groups welcome Student groups welcome Adults only Barbecues allowed Campfires allowed Commercial vehicles allowed Dogs allowed Peaceful Remote location ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking — here's what delivers near this site. ### 🥡 Just Eat — 1 takeaway delivers to this postcode (DG9 0RG) Rana Kebab House ★ 3.5 · Pakistani, Indian Checked 26 Aug 2026 — always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Tesco, Stranraer 4.9 miles - Morrisons 5.1 miles - Lidl 5.3 miles Straight-line distances — the drive will be longer.

The site is stunning, ideally located, and incredibly peaceful. Facilities were kept beautifully clean, and we felt so welcomed by the lovely Jane and Ray, who were incredibly helpful. It was also great to meet such friendly fellow visitors. One small note: we found pitch 4 to be a little different from the website description, as the area beside the hard standing was a bit uneven and overgrown rather than a grassy area capable of sitting or putting a small tent, but this didn't take away from our overall experience. 2 months ago · via Google Keith Lonsdale ★★★★★ Fabulous find about 20 mins drive from Stranraer. I don't think you could beat this site at this price. Immaculate toilets & shower. The pitches are all separated from each other by a combination of trees/vegetation and windbreaks. Firepits and barbecues on site and included in the price. Great viees from the site. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. We will be back. NB: The closing time is the latest check in time. Once checked in you're free to come and go as you please. a month ago · via Google Eilidh Black ★★★★★ Absolutely beautiful small campsite with a lovely walk on site. There are two toilets, one shower, two hot water dishwashing sinks and a kettle, bins for your rubbish, and optional electric hookup. The owners are very friendly and will come meet you, they weren't there when I arrived and called, so talked me through letting myself in and which pitches were available to choose from. The site is dog friendly but must be kept on a lead. It's very quiet and peaceful with good phone signal. The attention to detail is lovely and I would definitely stay again! I paid £18 to stay in my van for one night - £12 for me and the van, £3 for each dog, no electric hookup. I thought this was very reasonable and it was easy to book and pay on their website. 3 months ago · via Google J STRUTHERS ★★★★★ A delightful wee campsite offering peace and tranquility. We hadn’t camped in 10 years this was a great re-introduction. Site offered everything we needed, 2 clean toilets, shower and dish washing facility. Jane warmly welcomed us and showed us round. We’ll be back! 👍🏼 3 months ago · via Google [More campsites in Stranraer](https://staycation.co.uk/stranraer/camping) ★ 4.9 (109 reviews) [Book on Pitchup](https://www.pitchup.com/campsites/Scotland/Scotland/Dumfries_and_Galloway/Stranraer/north-rhinns-camping/) [Visit website](http://www.northrhinnscamping.co.uk/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=campsite) [0330 133 5879](tel:03301335879) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Stranraer **County** Dumfries and Galloway **Dogs allowed** ✅ Yes **Electric hook-up** ✅ Yes **Payment** Cards 🏨 ### Prefer a hotel nearby?
