  • Well-maintained park with superb views
  • Next to Powfoot Golf Course; four miles from Annan
  • Next to a beach nature reserve
Peaceful, quiet, relaxing and nature-filled breaks are the name of the game at Queensberry Bay Holiday Park, a fab holiday park on the shores of Scotland's Solway Firth. If pubs, clubs and loud entertainment are very much not your thing, you'll find all you need here at this top-end and popular park instead, including an excellent little campers' kitchen with first-class views across the bay. The park also has excellently maintained showers and toilets, and a small licensed shop selling essentials like chocolate and the (also very well-regarded) Queensberry bacon rolls. The Queensberry team is keen to point out that those looking for golden sands might be better off heading further west along the coast; the beach here, however, is a beaut nature reserve filled with grassy knolls and pools, and a breeding ground of the protected natterjack toad. It's just the spot for Spot and other dogs too as it's a perfect place for walking the pooch.

What customers say

This is an immaculate and beautiful site, praised for its stunning sea views and proximity to the beach, making it ideal for dog owners. Visitors consistently highlight the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, as well as the clean, modern, and spacious facilities, particularly the shower blocks. The on-site bar and restaurant are generally well-regarded, though food quality has received mixed reviews. Pitches are often described as spacious and well-maintained. WiFi can be patchy.

Liked Quality facilities here. Well planned. Nice looking restaurant although we didn't use it.

Disliked Unfortunately, the excellent toilet/shower block had been abused by disrespectful guests. Not the fault of the management but regular checks might be prudent.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad you appreciated the quality facilities and layout — and that the restaurant caught your eye.
Sorry to hear about the condition of the toilet/shower block. While it's frustrating when guests don’t respect shared spaces, we’ll take your suggestion on board and look into more frequent checks.
Hope to welcome you back soon! 🛁✨
