 This is one of those sites that you don't want to tell everyone about, it is very quiet the warden couldn't be more helpful in fact the whole village are very welcoming, facilities are very clean and always plenty of hot water, loved the fact that the money goes into the community. Love it love it will be back

Stayed here for four nights. It's one of those sites that you are reluctant to review because you want to keep it a secret! Flat pitches, well spaced. Great views; quiet nights; good, clean facilities; the friendliest, most helpful warden I've ever known.
If I had to find a negative (and I struggle) the internet signal is weak other than when sitting in the chairs provided in the outer wardens office (dry and comfortable) so if you have to have internet, it's slightly limited. Everything else more than out weighs that minor problem!
A beautiful village with a great 'community' feel. Everything you need from day to day can be found locally (garage, hardware store selling gas, pub, shops). Plenty of interesting walks in the area. And all that with a view over Luce Bay!

Kings Green is a lovely quiet site situated right on the Shore with excellent sea views from all pitches. The facilities are kept spotless and the showers are nice and warm. The site was always quiet and great for a chill out. There is a laundry room although it is rather expensive to use the drier but there is a whirlygig outside that you can use on dry days. The ground is mostly flat and drains very well. We had some torrential downpours during the Thunderstorms but the drainage was excellent so no muddy field. My advice to campers or anyone with an awning would be to make sure you invest in heavy duty pegs as it often gets very windy. Some campers next to us did not have them and their tent blew down during a thunderstorm! The two Wardens Gail and Hillary visit 3 times a day and are very friendly and helpful. Port William is a nice wee place and the people are so friendly. The wee takeaway shop Tasty Bites is excellent as is the Clansman Restraunt. Had a few beers in the hotel too and the locals banter was great! All in all we had a great stay at Kings Green Campsite.

Just returned from a weeks stay at this absolutely wonderful site, what a find !. We arrived on August bank Holiday Monday, expecting the site to be packed out and were surprised to find that it was sparsely populated. This is surprising for the place offers everything one would want, situated right on the beach, yet only 200yards from the village and all it's amenities, a lovely flat surface, no problem pitching here. The facilities, hot showers, immaculate toilets, laundry room with bags of hot water, absolutely pristine and scrupulously clean, lovingly looked after by the hard working and friendly wardens. This is a site that deserves a visit, Port William is a charming place, the well equipped children's play park is adjacent to the site, and the surrounding countryside is full of wonderful beaches and interesting places, bags to do every day and a wonderful site to return to. We visited Isle of Whitghorn, Whithorn, Wigtown, Garlieston and further afield, Portpatrick and Stranraer, we could have visited lots more places if time had allowed. For a change of pace it was lovely just to sit outside our caravan and enjoy the stunning views with the Mull of Galloway, the Isle of Man and, just, the Moune Mountains all visible. We ended the stay with a meal in the village's Monreith Arms Hotel, excellent meal and very sociable proprietor.

Spent four nights at this site, very helpful and friendly wardens, toilets and showers spotless, as there are only two of each in gents you may have to wait if the camp was busier. A playpark for kids at one end of site, short walk into Port William for all your shopping needs, also hotel with friendly locals. Being a farming area you have to expect some noise from tractors. Would make sure you have rock pegs for tents as this site is on the shoreline and can be rocky under the grass, as it was really warm on my visit a freezer would be handy for coolbags but one of the wardens came to my rescue and took my pack home and froze it for me. All in all a basic site but filled all my needs. Would I visit again ! definitely. Bill.

Visited this site over the first May weekend. Well kept site with basic but very clean facilities. Friendly warden. All pitches had nice views of the sea.
Port William itself is a friendly wee village with a shop, pub (permits dogs) and restaurant. Had a decent meal at the restaurant - nothing fancy but well-cooked, huge portions and reasonably priced. Best to book as it gets busy.
Beach very pebbly so not a swimming beach. We walked round to the next beach (about an hour stroll) and had a picnic there. Loads to see and do in the area. Saint Ninian's Cave and Isle of Whitorn within a short drive. Had a lovely weekend, despite poor Bank Holiday weather.

This is one of the nicest sites I have had the pleasure of staying on. It has fantastic views of the sea from just about every pitch. The site is very well maintained and kept clean and tidy, the loo's, showers and washing up areas were cleaned and checked regularly by two friendly and helpful wardens. We stayed at the site for two weeks and really wanted to stay longer.
The village, local shops and harbour are only a 2 minute walk away. The village is a friendly place and the locals don't hesitate to stop and have a chat and tell of places to visit in the area. There is a real community spirit around the place. We were there at the time of their carnival which was fun and we even got a ride in the life boat. We had brilliant meal in the 'Clansman' restaurant, massive portions cooked beautifully. Further away we went to Lagan Outdoor Centre where we went on the half mile Zip Wire. Its well worth a trip, but you have to book first.
All in all we had a fantastic holiday and will be going back there again. Just one little tip. Take the strong rock pegs as the ground is very hard and nearly impossible to put ordinary ones in and you do need to be well pegged down as it can get a bit windy being just off the beach.

A very nice, clean and very well maintained site, minutes from the town that has two shops, one pub and a post office. Stayed their for a week and to be honest we want to move their. Very friendly locals, its like going back forty years. We did a full circumnavigation of the whole peninsular including newton stewart, castle douglas and kirkudbright to name but a few. We will definitely be back next year we have been infected with port william itus.

This site is a few hundred yards from the village of Port William on the Machars coast of Wigtownshire and is virtually on the shoreline of Luce Bay.
The facilities include ladies and gents toilets and showers as well as laundry room and washing up facilities - all kept spotlessly clean.
Electric hook ups are plentiful plus grey water and foul emptying. Plenty of water taps, BBQ stands and sand buckets. Grass is kept trimmed and removed to a high standard. Adjacent to the site is the village play area with swings, sand pit, see-saws etc.
The village of Port William is a very friendly community, with a few shops, a restaurant, post office, sandwich shop, and a very good pub/restaurant, a garage with fuel and one of the best run charity shops you can think of run by volunteers. The community spirit of this village is unbelievable.
The caravan and campsite is run by part time wardens who are totally committed to this successful enterprise (Allan and Hilary you are stars!)
Hopefully going back for a fifth time this year (if there's room)
A great part of Scotland with views of the Mull of Gallway and the Isle of Man on a clear day.

This is a community run site right on the coast (a pebble beach), the chap whom we dealt with was very welcoming (although he is only on site for a couple of hours per day).
Most pitches have lovely sea views and there is a large grass area for play and adjoining municipal play park for the children - a slightly better play park is a couple of hundred yards away.
There toilets and showers were spotless although the shower cubicles were a little small there is also a well kept laundry and dish washing area beware though that should you need it the tumble dryer is ruinously expensive (£1 for minutes)
All in all a great site as a stop over for those using the Stranraer or Cairn Ryan ferries
