  • Clean, safe family park five minutes' drive from Kirkcudbright
  • Heated outdoor swimming pool
  • Spectacular views over Kirkcudbright Bay
If you're off seawards to the artists' town of Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway, wend your way to Seaward Holiday Park for some arty scenes. It's a small and exclusive park just outside Kirkcudbright, with rather special views over Kirkcudbright Bay to Ross Island and its lighthouse… you should surely be tempted to break out the easel. Seaward is family friendly, pet friendly and very friendly – you'll get a warm welcome here from the helpful team – and has a seasonal outdoor heated pool, an outdoor play area, TV and games room, small shop, wifi, a launderette and heated shower and toilet facilities.

What customers say

Top spot, spotless & well-kept with views to die for. Staff are brilliant, loos are spotless, and the heated pool is a winner. Peaceful too, close to beaches & Kirkcudbright. A few found toilets a bit of a trek, and Wi-Fi costs extra.

Electric touring pitch

Liked Toilet and shower block is clean and tidy, views where great, nice and quiet.

Disliked A little bit isolated, nearest shop/town is about 3 miles away, on a country road, i guess that's why it's quiet, also being charged for an awning, this is not a dig at this park, being charged for something that can fit easily in the space/area that you have already paid for 🤷‍♂️

Electric touring pitch

Liked Loved our stay at Seaward Holiday park, the site was immaculately kept with helpful staff at hand, the views from the site (we had a front row pitch) are breathtaking, we sat looking at it for ages till we had a venture down to Dhoon beach which is a small beach to the right of the site.
Toilets and shower block again was very clean.
We will definitely go back here and so far in our short time being motorhomers I can safely say it's one of our favourite sites we have visited.

Disliked Nothing

Local attractions

Bring the family's bikes if you can, as the famed 7stanes forest trails at Dalbeattie and Kirroughtree are only 30 minutes away from and the Sustrans Route 7 passes right outside the park entrance. (If you haven't brought bikes, hire them just outside the Dalbeattie trail or near the Kirroughtree Forest visitor centre.) By hike rather than bike, there's a wealth of walks around the coast, hills and forests of the area as well as an easy stroll to the sea, shingle cove and sandy beach of Dhoon Bay minutes from the caravan park. Golfers have loads to pick from too including the championship Brighouse Bay course a short drive away along the coast; horse riding, a wildlife conservation park and activity centres are in the region, and the tasty chocolate factory of the Cocobean Company is only 10 minutes' drive away. More gently, the harbour town of Kirkcudbright town has a good clutch of coffee shops and galleries in which to while away the day, as well as the Stewartry Museum with a good collection of works by local artists (there are quite a few). Also recommended is heading to the harbour to watch the fishing boats unload their catch – you might even come over all artistic yourself – and watch them, the yachts and the lifeboats leave Kirkcudbright Bay. Finally, take a stargazing look at spectacular Galloway Forest Park, the UK's first Dark Sky Park and one of only four designated in all of Europe.
