Rural dog-friendly site by a river 10 minutes’ drive from Dumfries
A five-minute drive from Dalscone Farm Fun; half an hour from the sea
Modern showers and disabled facilities; awnings provided; shop nearby

If you’re after a well-serviced spot to park up for the night or are looking to stick around and explore stunning Dumfries and Galloway, you’ve hit upon the right spot. Newbridge Country Park is a modern holiday park that handily suits both purposes, being half an hour’s drive from the M74 (for journeys to the Highlands or south to the Lakes) and about the same distance from beaches and historic castles. Set in several acres of countryside, the holiday park is only just off the A76, so there's no need to navigate country lanes or side roads to get there. It has spectacular views over the hills of Galloway Forest Park (half an hour’s drive), where you can soon be out exploring on foot or by bike. Anglers can cast for brown trout at Alderneuk Fishery or fly fish for salmon (in season) on the River Nith (both 15 minutes), and there are a couple of golf courses within 15 minutes’ drive too. The lively town of Dumfries (10 minutes) is a surefire bet for picking up food or any other bits and bobs. If you’re having a break from the stove, take your pick of cosy pubs, organic cafés and restaurants serving local Scottish produce while you’re there. There's another shop five minutes' walk from the site. Back at base camp, all the pitches are neatly landscaped, and spotless facilities on the site include a shower block with wet rooms and a laundry room, plus chemical disposal. There is also a games room with a pool table, football table and comfortable seating.

Our pitch was in a very nice sheltered spot with trees alongside and behind us.

The kids loved the cows that kept popping by to say hello

Would recommend and would go again.

Liked: Really friendly and informative welcome. Site was clean and very well kept with good size, level pitches. Shower and toilet were very clean and warm. Games room was a nice touch and the hot water urn and microwave were very useful. I had two dogs with me and they loved the field on site where they could run free.

Liked: Just an one-nighter for us but our hard standing pitch was a generous size, and level.
All facilities were spotlessly clean easy to use and functional. Nice welcome.
Good space to exercise dogs off lead which our two dogs made full use of. Didn’t use, but liked the available games room where you could sit/read/play.

Disliked: Not a dislike, but a wee suggestion to add a small post or couple of hooks over by the toilet block to tether your dogs too while inside. Apologies if it was there and I missed it!
Not an issue for us but if you are a light sleeper, in a pop top the road is audible at times

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Small, very well kept, site with level pitches (15). Spotless toilet and shower facility. Small laundry. Large field for dog walkers. Nearby shops and petrol stations and bus stops outside entrance to the site. Takes about 30 minutes to walk into Dumfries. Good free WiFi available.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike about this site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Michael that you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review.

It means a lot to the team Michael how much you appreciated our site, especially saying how our small site was very well kept, level pitches, spotless toilet & Shower facilities, & good free Wi-Fi.

We are pleased you liked our small laundry area too, the large dog walking field (that is also lovely to walk around if you don't have a dog), nearby shops, petrol stations, & a bus stop just outside the site entrance (which is very handy for campers in motorhomes).

Thank you again for your review Michael & we hope you come and stay with us again very soon.

Excellent friendly site with modern facilities and good-sized pitches.

Liked: Friendly staff, nice setting for serviced pitches, very good facilities.

Disliked: Some traffic noise at night from a main road.

From the manager: Simon we really appreciate your review & how you would recommend us to friends & visit again.

It's nice to hear you found our staff friendly, a nice setting for the pitches & very good facilities.

We usually get very little road noise Simon, & unfortunately when you were here, there was a local main road closed at night for essential works, so we experienced more traffic at night than we normally do.

Thank you again Simon for your review, & we hope you will stay with us again soon.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review.

Our wardens always try to make our guests feel welcome & help when ever we can. So we are really pleased, you found that they could not be more helpful.

We really appreciate how much you enjoyed our facilities, especially the good showers, Washing up facilities & the relaxing seating area in the games room.

As for the groundworks, we apologise for the essential work being carried out. It was over running by a few weeks, & it just happened to be the last work day, when you were here.

The team hope you will visit again soon & take advantage of the peace & quiet on our site now.

Local attractions

Dumfries (10 minutes’ drive) was the birthplace of Robbie Burns in 1759; see displays on the life of Scotland’s favourite poet, as well as portraits and period rooms, at the Robert Burns House, or read more about his life and times at the Robert Burns Centre, an 18th-century watermill sitting on the banks of the River Nith. There’s more on his backstory at Robert Burns Ellisland Farm (five minutes), a sprawling homestead where he once farmed. Spectacular Drumlanrig Castle and Gardens (20 minutes) makes a great day out for all the family, with its stellar art collection, woodland walks and adventure playground. For more Scottish heritage, stop by the moated remains of medieval Caerlaverock Castle (25 minutes), or have a nose around impressive cloisters of 13th-century Sweetheart Abbey (20 minutes) in New Abbey. If you prefer to do your exploring on foot, amble up to the 60-foot waterfall in Grey Mare’s Tail Nature Reserve (50 minutes), or pack a picnic and hike to Loch Trool and Bruce’s Stone – commemorating Robert the Bruce’s victory over the English in 1307 – in Galloway Forest Park (half an hour).
