Liked A Hidden Gem – So Glad We Found It!
We discovered this campsite very last minute, and what an amazing surprise it turned out to be. Tucked away in a beautiful spot, it’s a peaceful, well-kept site that’s both family- and pet-friendly. Especially at just £15 a night, which felt like an absolute bargain for such a lovely spot.

The owners were incredibly welcoming, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and friendly from the moment we arrived. Plots are generously sized, offering plenty of space, and while the facilities are fairly simple, they were spotless. (An extra toilet would be a welcome addition, especially during busier times in the evening.)

The views are stunning in every direction, and the presence of friendly animals, sheep, goats, and chickens was a real highlight for the kids (and us!).

It was also lovely to see children playing safely around the campsite, especially in the grassed area that runs through the middle, such a nice feature that added to the relaxed, community feel.

But the absolute standout for us was the river access, perfect for paddling, cooling off, or just relaxing by the water. The children loved it, and so did the dog! There’s also a small play area and a great space for dogs to run freely.

To top it all off, fresh eggs were available on-site and absolutely delicious.

Disliked Facilities
How animals were kept. Dog locked in small wooden enclosure running round in circles!
Sheep tails not short, covered in their own excrement - could get fly strike

From the manager: Sorry you feel our animals are not looked after, but jack is a working collie dog he is in a kennel and run which is more than big enough for him, If you knew him you would know he has always run round in circles he does it even after a hard day's work it's just something he does, and as for the sheep all the pedigree ryelands have their tails docked to breed regulations which is just long enough to cover their private area, the valais and herdwicks do not have their tails docked as a breed, none of them are covered in there own excrement as you say as they are checked daily more than once which is why they are so friendly, and they have all been treated numerous times with click plus, please before leaving hurtful reviews regarding our very well loved looked after animals do some research.

Liked We loved that we could walk through the sheep field as our daughter is a huge fan of animals. She really enjoyed looking at all the animals. We also liked how close we were to Langholm and lots of walking trails.
The toilets and showers were clean and the water was hot.

Disliked The road was busy at sorting time of the day so it could be bit noise at time.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, sorry to see you would not stay with us again, but all the electric cable is now in up the camping field, we are hoping to have all this connected up by the electrician in the next couple of weeks so this will move all the electric pitches away from the road.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, all the electric cable is now in up at the camping field and we are hoping to have this connected up by the electrician in the next couple of weeks so this will move all the electric pitches away from the road hope to see you again.

Liked Spacious pitch with a great view. Good possibilities for a walk. Lovely town of Longholm close by. Easy reachable with a tow caravan. All the farm animals, especially the free roaming chickens

Disliked Primitive toiletblock with only two (unisex) toilets and one (unisex) shower for the whole of the campsite. Which was not dufficient for a busy weekend as it was when we stayed there.
Very close to a main road, the A7, which has yraffic day and night.

From the manager: Thank you for your review im sorry to read you did not enjoy your stay, all the electric pitches are moving onto the camping field once the electric cable arrives which will move the pitches away from the road. All our adverts state the toilets and shower are unisex and we only have 1 shower and 2 toilets. This is hopefully going to be extended in the future
