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.

Winter happiness

Robb - 29/11/2023

Calm and peaceful off season, not been at high season. As a motorhome at 8 meter visitor. Roads and Access for turning into pitches is good. . Water ,power and waste on pitch. Waste water you need to remove manually. Park would benefit from a drive over waste water drop only this would also speed up leaving time less waiting. Toilet waste points are good easy to stop at. In general nice place to stop and play .

Well located stopover.

Scarff-Hurst, Ken - 29/11/2023

The site was easily accessible from the A75. The reception staff were very helpful regarding locating my pitch and dealing with a minor problem with the EHU. Only one toilet block was open which was clean if somewhat dated. The site would benefit from a drive-over grey water grid which, I was informed, was under consideration. I enjoyed seeing the swans on the lake and catching a glimpse of three deer in the field adjacent to the castle. As a solo traveller I felt self-conscious about dining in the restaurant and there is no mention of the kitchen offering a take-out facility on the website. I would stay again as a stopover as the site is reasonably priced for what it has to offer at this time of year.

Relaxed short break

Mossop, Ian - 20/11/2023

Our first visit. Excellent pitches. Beautiful area. Came in mid November so restaurant not open during the week.Shower facilities immaculate. Staff were very friendly.Only criticism would be the operating of the shower. The pushbutton system only allowed water for about 30 seconds at a time. Just a little annoying. Even so we will return.

This was not our first visit, we have enjoyed every stay especially this time, our pitch was near the amenities because of my mobility, we asked if it was possible when we booked and ferry pleased with the outcome.We booked direct with the site the day before we arrived and the receptionist who is called Lorna was very pleasant and really helpful, also the staff working in the cafe/takeaway were equally very helpful, and friendly.We will definitely visit again.

Perfect and so unexpected

Such a surprise! Even out of season. Beautiful site, great shower block/facilities. Stunning backdrop. So easy to book and arrive. Absolutely perfect for what we needed. We even came back towards the end of our trip and booked another impromptu night. Superb value and great facilities. Can see how popular it must be in summer. Really impressed.

Wonderful place

Flay, Melanie - 23/10/2023

When we arrived the electric hookup on our pitch wasn’t working so as it was a little later we had to call the ground keeper who arrived with us very quickly and was really friendly and helpful, he lent us an extension so we didn’t have to move our tent. The site is lovely and clean and all staff we met were lovely.

October week break

Hughes, Angela - 22/10/2023

We have never been to this holiday park before so were unsure what to expect, however having looked into the park and the facilities knew that there was a cafe, pub, swimming pool and games room. We had planned on having food in the cafe and pub plus a visit to the swimming pool. The grounds are lovely and the shower block and toilets are perfectly clean **The cafe, swimming and games room are only open until 1 daily. Its not really a games room most machines are turned off but there is 2 pool tables, a 2p machine and a shooting game that work.The pub, restraunt do not open until a Thursday, meaning it is closed on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday so please be away of this if you book. I know this wont be an issue for many people but we have planned to eat out for dinner daily sohad only brought food with us based on this.
