Date of Visit: September 2024 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 6 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: Oldnasty 18 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic site! Large pitches with plenty of room. Great fishing in the loch at only £5 per day. Lots of space for children to play without being obtrusive.

The only minor complaint could be the distance from the caravan pitches to the waste water and elsan points, but other than this I could not fault the whole site.

We enjoyed it so much that we booked for next year before we left.

 Lovely Lakeside location, unfortunately not near to any local services, footpaths or cycleways.

Lacking in water points, near pitch waste disposal and Showers. A dribble of tepid water on a leaking timed tap was the Hot Shower.

Contrary to the Website friendly ethos Description, I found the owner and staff to be quite obnoxious.

 The site was very clean and well maintained, it was our 1st time staying not only in Scotland but at the campsite.

From the moment we arrived the lady booking us in made us both feel at ease and not only explained the site rules but directed us to one of the best spots on the site very close to the water.

I would highly recommend staying here, and we will be returning very soon

Reviewer: Robert 1 review from this member

 Loved the ease of access to the water. Facilities were clean and modern.

Camping feels was well kept.

Absolutely stunning views from the tentbox.

Would recommend this place to anyone with families, the young lad loved playing on the kids area, which gave us a much needed moment of quiet.

 Wonderful site: beautiful setting, spacious pitches, excellent showers,

Well stocked shop, kayaks for hire ( although a little pricey) and public transport by the gate. The camping field looked fantastic.

Lack of recycling facilities and erratic hot water at the washing up points were the only down sides (although the former may not be within the park’s control).

 Great site. Lots a walking areas for exercising dogs with lots of poo bins ! Shop had all the necessities you might require.

Clean site with basic toilet block. No hairdryers or radio in toilets. Showers are above ground level in ladies block so you step into it. Separate disabled room, I found it cold and a little cramped.

Having said all this I will go back as the staff were friendly and approachable.

Ideal if you enjoy fishing and paddle boarding/ kayaking.

Wetsuits available to hire also.

Lots for young kids to do on the site and seems very family friendly.

We were in MHome and the pitches have great views and EHU.

Reviewer: SimonP 1 review from this member

 Lovely site in a great location.

Pitches are large and facilities are very clean.

Great site if you like watersports as you can launch your kayak or paddle board into Loch Ken from right beside the touring pitches.

Friendly, helpful staff were always on hand.

We loved our stay and couldn't give any less than 10 out of 10.

 Great site in a beautiful loch side location.

Friendly helpful staff who make an effort to make sure that you enjoy your holiday.

Good facilities.

The loch has good fishing and you can hire canoes, rowing boats and paddle boards and wet suits.

Nice walks local to the site.

A short drive to castle Douglas, Threave House/Gardens/castle where you can see ospreys nesting, also the Red Kite feeding station is nearby. A little further away is Galloway Forest Park with really nice walks and plenty of red squirrels.

Only downside for us was there is no pub within walking distance, but a bus does stop outside.

Mungo the owner is friendly and helpful.

Reviewer: Mcdade 1 review from this member

 Lovely setting, however, some issues with toilet/shower location in proximity to tourer/ camp site as they were just too far away,

Otherwise a clean tidy campsite except for the waste /refuse location which was located in a field across the A75 opposite the campsite with no recycling facilities, but we were reassured by the manager that this is only temporary until the new bins arrive for next season.
