Aerial view from the rear of the site towards the river

Spacious family-friendly site 15 minutes' drive from Lockerbie
In the grounds of a 16th-century castle next to the River Annan
Golf course, salmon fishing, guided walks and play park

A castle? But of course – surely you deserve nothing less? Hoddom Castle Caravan Park, in the Dumfries & Galloway countryside a 15-minute drive from the town of Lockerbie, is a fine pick for families and those with an eye for the finer things in life. This is a site that’s been running since 1973, but the history of the place goes back much further than that – the castle in question is a 16th-century border keep that’s the focal point of the 10,000 acres of the Hoddom and Kinmount estates. Other historic buildings including the hilltop Repentance Tower and the ancient St Kentigerns churchyard are scattered around the estate, and the River Annan river flows along its edge. Guests are welcome to roam along walking trails or join the tours run by the estate ranger on selected summer Sunday afternoons. Other suitably regal activities are to hand too: the estate has its own nine-hole golf course and some top spots for salmon fishing in the river. Even the most princely of visitors need to let their hair down occasionally, so there’s also a play park on site.

Andressa R. Apr 2025

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Brilliant facilities and the grounds were stunning. Really quiet when we went and had a good pitch within easy access to all the facilities. The stone baked pizza was incredible and definitely recommend. The showers were clean and modern. Bonus for kids was the little play park that kept my toddler busy for a while.

Disliked: The major downside was the incinerator that was turned on the morning after our stay and the wind was unfortunately blowing all the smoke our way. It was pretty unpleasant and meant we had to pack up quickly and still we ended up smelling of smoke. Also quite early in the morning someone was leaf blowing which seemed a bit unnecessary, we were already up but if you wanted to sleep in that would have woken you up.

Local attractions

If you need a little tipple to sip while you survey your smart surrounds, take a jaunt to one of the local gin distilleries – the Distillery at Dalton is 10 minutes away by car and Annandale Distillery 15 minutes. (Best be saving their [excellent] wares for later if you’re intending to try your hand at horse carriage driving, 25 minutes away at the Chariots of Fire centre.) Countryside visit not complete until you’ve seen all the farm animals? Take your pick from outings to Dalscone Farm Fun (20 minutes away), Mabie Farm Park and Walby Farm Park (both half an hour): all are packed with furry friends that should have the small sorts (and most likely the grownups too) squealing with glee. If they’re more into beasts of the prehistoric variety, detour instead to Dino Park (10 minutes) for a roaring good time among the lifesized models. Fancy flexing the credit card? Get on over to Gretna Gateway Outlet Village to browse for bargains from a whole host of high street names.
