 I turned up at this site without a reservation and got a space without any problem. I had to ask which pitch I should use - I wasn't given the choice that others were - but I suppose that's what I get for arriving on spec at tea-time!
The site is in a lovely location, with good walks along the coast in either direction, and out on the causeway to Rough Island bird reserve (but DO check the tide times if you are going there, or you may have a long wait before you can get back!).
The facilities are limited, as some other reviewers have said, but there are additional - and more modern - facilities in the upper tent field. All of the toilets and showers are kept very clean.
There are a couple of areas set aside for ball games, etc, and plenty of space for children to run about in. I'd imagine this could get quite noisy in good weather and school holidays, so perhaps it would be best to stay clear if you want peace and quiet!
There is an information room with lots of leaflets and books about things to see and do in the area. The wardens will also lend OS maps of the area, which is great if you want to do some exploring.
Internet Wi-Fi access is available and included in the pitch price; the signal is adequate - and better than I have had at some other sites!
There are no shops in the immediate area. There is an antique/art shop in Rockliffe, about 10 minutes walk away, and there is a gift shop in Kippford (30-40 minutes walk) which also sells ice-cream, drinks, cakes, and sandwiches.
The hotel in Rockliffe (Baron's Craig) seems to be closed until Easter 2014. There are two hotels in Kippford with public bars/lounges which also sell bar meals - the Mariner and the Anchor.

What a fabulous week! Weather was cold, but sunny. The site was so quiet, very clean and in a lovely location. Jacky, the site owner, was so helpful. The nearest pub is a 40 minute walk via a path (which is pretty difficult to find, but great once you know where it is). No local shops, but you just need to plan ahead. Rockliffe is a lovely hamlet and the views are great. I would recommend the walk around the coast. 7stanes at Dalbeattie well worth a visit for the cyclist.
If you want to get away from it all, then this is the place to go.

We stayed here for five nights at the beginning of September, should have been four but we didn, t want to leave. This is the most relaxing site we have stayed on, the views are out of this world and the sunsets can be pretty amazing. All the facilities are good, shop a short drive away or small supermarkets in Dalbeattie. There were plenty of places to walk the dogs. We discovered Cream O Galloway ice cream on one of our excursions and it is heavenly, couldn't get enough in the caravan freezer ! All in all a brilliant site with very friendly wardens and very friendly caravanners on seasonal pitches. We will be going back as much as possible.

We recently stayed at this little gem of a site for three nights with our caravan and three dogs. The location and views are amazing and our dogs loved the walk along the coastal path to Kippford.
The site is small and friendly, very clean. Was slightly concerned when we first arrived as there was only one shower in each of the male and female blocks, but never had to queue once and the water was lovely and hot.
The only thing that may have improved the site would be a small on site shop for essentials as it was a car drive to the nearest shop. A beautiful place, didn't want to leave and will definitely be going back.

What can I say best camping holiday we have had, arrived on the 1st august for 3 nights with my wife and two girls aged 8 and 4. Their are two tent fields we chose the bottom one. With all the cows right next to us. The wife is a stickler for clean toilets and shower she was over the moon with the standard, the pitching is go were you like and even when their was a few of us tents and vans we were not on top of each other, theirs also a space set aside for the children to play with is a great idea. The site is very quiet and everyone who was their respected the time of 11 for everyone to keep noise down not that it was noisy at anytime their are some beautiful walks right off the site and rockcliffe beach is fantastic just 5 minutes from the site. There is no shop on site but their is a costcutter ten minutes up the road by car and it sells everything also a cafe as well. We were raving that much on the phone to family and friends they ended up joining us for a further 3 nights. Will be going back soon

Awesome, turned up on spec, friendly welcome and we were given options of lower or tent field, we chose tent field for our camper and it had hook up.
We had a whole field to ourselves for two amazing quiet restful nights, it was only spoilt by a family turning up on our last night who thought it was ok to let their kids run riot at 0730 ! Sorry but there is plenty to keep kids occupied until a sociable hour.
Amazing, views, walks, clean, shower rooms big and separate from loos and with sockets for your dryers etc.
Washing machines and dryers plenty full and friendly easy going staff.
I kind of didn't want to write a good review as this is a hidden gem. But it is unfair not to. We were directed by staff along the coast to a lovely pub accessed via mostly off road walking which is great for dogs. Not to mention a hidden cove where we chilled for hours we discovered one day.
Good value for money too, no additional costs for dogs or awnings.
The bullocks next to us we're entertaining every night, there is not a local pub but to be honest after long walks with a whole field to ourselves we were in heaven.
Kids may find lack of a play ground a bit dull, but with the coast so close then there is plenty to do.
Plus next to the washing room a load of books you can borrow. The washing up areas and bathrooms spotless.
Outstanding views from where ever you would be located.
We did not want to leave. There is a local spa about a mile and half walking distance with fresh croissants, pies and next to a coffee shop and the local town was friendly and had fresh, local produce.

This was our first visit to this site - As people have said before, the views and sunsets are fantastic.
The toilet & shower facilities were kept very clean and tidy. There were good facilities for washing drying & ironing - although we did not need these.
The main caravan field is on a slight slope with the grass well kept.
There was good access to the beach at Rockcliffe and also to the Solway Coastal Path.
The nearest shop is in nearby Colvend, but there are a couple of small supermarkets in Dalbeattie approx 6 miles away.

Stayed only for one night but would go back and stay longer. Very well kept site, very clean toilets & other facilities. Shower in ladies is a power shower and a half!
We stayed with three dogs - no extra charges, no hassle, made very welcome.
Lovely views & a wealth of decent walks. Shop at Colvend well stocked and not far from site.
As the site was quiet we were allowed to pitch tent with the tourer caravans - much appreciated as we could have the van next to the tent.
Bit windy in the evening but it's on the coast so only to be expected.
A lovely welcoming, dog friendly site.

Just back from a week at Castle Point. We found it to be a really excellent site. Toilets and showers were spotless and the view from the pitches is lovely.
There is free WiFi access in certain parts of the site and we connected to the internet easily from our pitch. There is a room next to the laundrette which is a WiFi hotspot with two manager style chairs and a long bench to sit at.
A pleasant room looking out over the water. There are plenty of walks in Rockcliffe, you can walk over to Rough Island at low tide and also walk to Kippford along the Jubilee Path. If you climb the Moat of Mark there is a great view from the top.
The only downside in my opinion is that there are no hard standing pitches and no tarmac road along the front of the tourers so when it has been raining the grass becomes very muddy in parts.
Apart from that I couldn't find fault with this lovely little site and would definitely return.

This is an all grass pitch site, so when it rains heavy, the ground does get very soggy.
The shower blocks are a little disappointing with only one shower in the ladies and some unfinished work, there is a coin-free hairdryer. The gents has two showers.
The diswashing and laundry room is very clean and spacious, although there was no price list for washing machine and dryers.
There is no shop on site but there is a little shop in Colvend that sells a good variety.
The best nearest sandy beach is at Sandyhills.
