What customers say
Fantastic location, stunning views, and great, clean facilities get a thumbs up. Staff are friendly and helpful, grounds are well-kept, and pitches are spacious. A peaceful spot for dog walks and coastal exploration. Most reviews are great, though some noted WiFi could be better and older facilities need more frequent cleaning. Highly recommended; many plan to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Great campsite in a most beautiful part of the world. Great showers!
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Loved the cleanliness and the size of the pitches. Clear instructions from the staff and the general feel. Loved that the ice cream van visited at 6pm!
Showers were great too and lovely walks from the campsite. A great place to stay if your mountain biking with a family in the 7 Stanes as there are trails into Dalbeattie Forest from Rockcliffe.
Disliked My only real gripe, and this is nit picking, so maybe could knock half a start off for each was that the electric hook up lantern near us was very bright (not all night though) and that there seemed that there was a food scraps bin intended in the scullery, though it wasn't there. Not great if you bike-packing or travelling light and have no waste bags. That's probably a reminder to me to pack some very thin light waste bags.

Liked Great location, wonderful views, good toilet/shower/washing facilities. The site is in a beautiful area with lovely coastal walks.
Disliked The upper fields mainly have slightly sloping ground so you will probably need chocs if you are in a van. The lower field looked very flat and level.
