Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Nicely kept lawns, friendly staff, lovely and clean shower/toilet/ washing up block, lovely location.
Disliked Would recommend moving the barbecue area away from the swings as it could be a hazard, and maybe place directions to put fire out after use. WIFI could be free.

Great area to explore - perfect campsite. Quiet & friendly.
Powered grass campervan site
Liked Wonderful campsite. It exceeded expectations. We were on the ‘upper field’ in a campervan. Views over the Solway Firth and stunning countryside all around. Staff were super helpful - shower and toilet facilities immaculate. Lovely walks on the doorstep to Rockliffe and Kippford, along beaches made entirely of seashells. No kidding! Great food at the Anchor at Kippford. We will be back!
Disliked Maybe the shop could have sold a few more items - but not a big deal
