Situated outside the village of Creetown in Wigtownshire, Castle Cary Holiday Park offers guests a quiet and relaxing holiday in the heart of romantic Galloway. The Park has so much to offer, and aims to develop its facilities for guests year after year.
For tourers or motorhomes, choose between a hard-standing pitch with electricity and water connections or a touring pitch with drainage, water and electricity. The Park also has fully serviced hard- standing with grass pitches (some of which permit an awning). Grass pitches are also available for tents or tourers with or without electricity.
For those seeking a more luxury getaway, the Park offers a range of seasonal timber clad lodges and winterised all-season holiday homes.
Castle Cary has a fantastic range of on site amenities, including an insulated chalet-style building with showers, toilets, and baby changing facilities. In addition to these, the chalet also houses a disabled-access toilet, a laundry room with sinks and a dishwashing area.
The activities on site are next to none, namely the indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools which add a splash of added fun to your stay (small charge applies). For younger campers, a heated paddling pool is on hand, as well as a playground, crazy golf course, and a games room with pool tables and video games.
At the centre of the holiday park lies an old Scottish baronial-style castle dating from around 1580. The Laird’s Inn, converted from part of the old castle, is most welcoming with it’s ‘olde worlde’ charm, created by a décor of wooden beams, stone walls and open fires. Further to this, a family-run café opens daily onsite and serves breakfasts, meals, snacks, coffees and sweet treats.
On a sunny day you can sit, drink, eat and relax on its large terrace, enjoying magnificent panoramic views over fields, woodlands and the estuary of the river Cree.
The Park is located within the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere Reserve, which covers most of South West Scotland and is a testament to the low levels of light pollution attracting Dark Sky enthusiasts worldwide.
Kirroughtree Forest and Visitor Centre sits 5 miles to the north of Castle Cary and is home to the world class 7Stanes mountain bike venue, offering a variety of routes for bikers of all levels, bike shop, endless walking routes and café.
The market own of Newton Stewart is located 7 miles north west of Castle Cary and has a wider range of amenities including supermarkets and a high school. Newton Stewart is known as the ‘Gateway to the Galloway Hills’ providing visitors with thousands of miles of hillwalking in the area.

Stayed in a tent, got there after the office was closed so just went to the field and set up. Didn't see another soul for a while until a couple were walking their dog later. £25 is a bit steep for a tent stay but I wanted decent toilets and showers, which were top notch. Shower room like a hotel bathroom.
Lovely warm welcome from the Warden who drove us down to where we were going to be pitched. Then let us choose which pitch we wanted. Lovely setting with the Castle perched above us. The site wasn't that busy so it was lovely and quiet. Loved the shower/toilet building with the individual cubicles in a unisex style. It meant me and my partner could go over together. Loved the bunnies and the naughty birdies who wouldn't let us leave! Wish we could have stayed longer and made more use of the on-site facilities but we had plans and tickets booked for Glasgow. Lovely restaurant down the road as well. Would definitely recommend this lovely pretty site.
The showers being all in one units are good. With a dressing table in one end with plug for straighteners etc. Clean. Friendly checkin. Rabbits everywhere were a delight to watch. Our pitch was near the grass pitches and that end suffered road noise. Main road busy through the night.Maybe it wasn't as bad in the middle in front of castle. I don't know why we were pitched there as loads and loads of empty pitches in front of Castle? Pub was closed Mon and Tuesday unless we would have eaten there as was dog friendly. Walk to village but we'd already been and it was a little muddy. Cafe n pool seemed closed. Room with game machines in was open. Pond with swans and field with donkeys. No WiFi for price I would have expected it. A lady from statics with a loose dog and a car from there drove over several pitches side ways??
This site was well laid out, plenty information on the paperwork given on arrival, plenty walks for the dogs,great that you could eat on the site and had a choice of two places,the shop was basic but sufficient,the toilets were good as there were warm radiators in every cubicle and the cleaner was in every day which was good, the views along the coast were fantastic,good value for money.
£ 30 a night is expensive for a tent but the facilities are immaculate
excellent stay even if the weather was bad 😁 xx
We had a great time at a friends wedding over the bank holiday weekend - site supported throughout. Thank you
The campsite was good apart from the pitch we were in, it clearly had a tent pitched for sometime as there was no grass only mud. For £48 per night it was not up to standard, also the grass around the campsite was not cut on a regular basis. For that reason we would not return.
Overall the site is very good with some great facilities, but is becoming a little outdated and could be better in areas. The pool was a big hit with the kids, it’s not huge, but big enough for younger children. The rough tarmac isn’t comfortable on the feet and this could be improved by having the surface relaid with a smooth one as it was painful walking around the pool. The food in the cafe is excellent and very reasonably price. I can’t really suggest an improvement here. Perhaps selling alcohol, but I guess there’d be issues with people drinking around the pool. The crazy gold area is good and included, but could do with a lick of paint. The fishing pond brought much fun, but according to the residents it hasn’t been maintained since COVID. Our hook was constantly caught in the weeds, and it would be great if this could be put back to how it used to be so could be enjoyed by visitors. We did catch a few small perch which was entertaining for the 5 year old.
Stayed before and hadn't booked a table at Lairds Inn, so booked again to stay. Fabulous welcome and reception staff Perfect pitch, lovely walks and great food. Loved it and will be back again.
