 My girlfriend and I stayed here for 10 days and had a great time. The owners were very welcoming and the campsite and facilities were kept incredibly clean although basic.
The campsite was very quiet and peaceful. Lovely beach nearby and great places to visit such as St Ninian's cave 5 minutes down the road. Also, Monreith animal park just up the road is a great attraction.
We would definitely come here again.

We have never stayed on a small site before so we took the bull by the horns and gave it a go! What an absolute gem was this place. The owner was so welcoming, she could not do enough for us. All the facilities were absolutely spotless we were very impressed. There was even shampoo in the shower for if you had forgotten your own. The site was very quiet with lovely walks down to a beautiful bay. We were only going to stay one night but ended up staying 4. We will definitely return from Colin and Sandra Fowler.

A beautiful tranquil site, large pitch, immaculately kept. The facilities are basic but very clean with toiletries provided. One 10p in the meter gives a good shower! The hook up was adjacent to the pitch.
The owners were very friendly and helpful.
If you want peace and tranquillity without too many neighbours then this is an ideal site for you. Ideally located for touring the area - definitely the best site that we stopped at on our holiday in SW Scotland.

What an absolute joy it was to visit the area and this site, the friendly welcome from the owner, who soon had us pitched up and ready to enjoy the joys of Monrieth Bay. Although small just 10 pitches for caravans and motorhomes, there is a separate area for tents, the site is immaculately kept, with attractive flower beds. The facilities though basic are kept squeaky clean, just one toilet each for males and females and a unisex shower, also 2 wash areas near the gents. These are the old schools facilities so are a bit antiquated but adequate. For me only one thing lets it drop from a full marks site and that is a lack of an elsan point, due to being a septic tank system but providing visitors use green chemicals an emptying point would give this little gem of a site top marks. The beaches are just a 10 minute walk away and the views from the Gavin Maxwell otter are fantastic. Definitely a must for us to visit again.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this small, very peaceful, quiet site set in a peaceful, quiet area. Not far from the sea it's great for a relaxing break: walking, fishing, etc.
The basic facilities provided on site were all we required and seemed adequate for the small number of people staying on site.
Other facilities like grocery shopping, pubs, etc. Are all available in Newton Stewart and, to a lesser extent, Wigtown and Whithorn a few miles drive from the site.

The knock school campsite was lovely, having scoped it out on the map first I wasn't disappointed in the least when we arrived, apart from the weather! However after that evening our week was pretty much perfect weatherwise.
The facilities were basic (ie no pool, gym, bar, solarium etc), but it had everything we needed; clean toilets, hot working shower and washing up area. If you want the holiday park then look elsewhere, but if like us you are looking for a small family run campsite in an absolutely beautiful area of the country you have to visit this site!
The one slight criticism I had was that the ground is a little hard to get my pegs into, but I was offered other pegs by the owners to help if I needed. Eh?! That's a first!, you can't ask for any better.
The owners were welcoming from the first day to the last.
The whole area is beautiful; roe deer in the field across the road, red deer on the estate next to the site, just around the corner from the Alex Maxwell monument and the stunning beach and to top it off Galloway forest dark reserve within driving distance - it is brilliant
Local towns are Wigtown with most amenities and the larger Newton Stewart a beautiful vibrant town.
There is so much to see and do we don't feel we have scratched the surface yet. We will have to visit again!

Definitely one of the best sites I have ever visited.
A small and very friendly site, located round an old village school. The buildings themselves were a pleasant reminder of childhood.
The site is immaculate in every way, beautifully kept lawned areas with hard standings and flower gardens. Toilets and showers are not the biggest but are more than enough for a site of this size and are very clean and well kept.
The owners are very friendly and helpful, giving advice on the local area and helping in any way they can. Sandy beach just a short drive or nice walk down past the golf club and Gavin Maxwell memorial. When you are there do buy some of 'Gran's Jam' its delicious.

Just arrived from Knock School park, we have had a fab 5 days the owners John & Pauline are so friendly and helpful, the park is very well kept, very neat, tidy and clean, if you want peace and quite with a fab view of the coast, also to add the sky at night is amazing, and if you appreciate nature and the outdoors this is the place for you, the toilets are always clean and so is the shower with constant hot water, this does cost you 10p but a small price to pay for satisfaction and this gets you a good few minutes with more to spare, it is near the road but this was not a problem at all. We like mountain biking and this place is about 25 minutes from Kirroughtree Mountain bike center and about 45 mins from Glentrool, after a day in the saddle it was a relief to come back to this place to relax, we enjoyed it so much we have re-booked for the August, highly recommend this park. Also just to add the young lad from the farm next door supplies free range eggs and Pauline supplies home made jam both at a small price (YUM)

Friendly welcome at nice small, well maintained site with sheltered pitches. Facilities are basic but clean. One shower shared between males and females but separate toilets. Dishwashing outside - cold water only. Dog friendly site :-)
Pitch had EHU and was reasonably priced.
Best of all was the dark skies and close location to the beach. For all you urban town dwellers who have no idea what dark skies truly are, this is the place to visit.
The fact that the site was quiet and peaceful just enhanced this.
Would definitely recommend.

We originally booked for 2 nights but enjoyed the peace and quiet this site had to offer we extended our stay to 4 nights.
Although it was the summer school holiday it was mostly adults during our stay. The facilities were basic but clean.
There was one shower but all we did was watch for someone leaving the shower. As we had good weather this was a perfect place to chill out.
There is no shop on site but there are 2 shops at Port William, a short drive away which had everything we required.
We would use this site again as a base for touring this area.
