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.

loads of space and great facilities

Young, Annabell - 22/07/2024

what a huge site ! really enjoyed walking all round it an enjoyed the spacious view from our moho. Enjoyed the pub in the evenings(just for a drink) and the outdoor pool one morning. Liked the individual shower_toilet facilities, but they got quite dirty as people didn't clean up after themselves so could be improved by cleaning twice a day.

My wife and our friend were staying for two nights which we extended to five, we have been before so we knew our way around.We used the cafe which was good and well priced also the restaurant as well. All of the staff were great and the pitches were of a good size.,if we had any criticism we were on pitch 02 which only has a 10 amp supply that would be it.We will most definitely be back, we would like to thank Lorna in reception who was most helpful in amending our booking arrangements.

Outstanding Holiday Park!!

Hamilton, Claire - 18/07/2024

Woman in Reception check in was great so happy and bubbly very helpful. The layout of holiday park was great. The wildlife was an extra bonus. Loved the castle ruin with the bar restaurant which had such amazing food and fantastic atmosphere live singers. The on site cafe was also very good for food and wasn't expensive. The shop had what you may have needed also, however you were a 10 minute walk into Creetown or a 2 minute drive. The kids and the adults alike loved the outdoor heated pool only slight criticism I could mention would be the concrete type gravel around the outside of the pool could be doing with updating as with kids especially in and out the pool some loose gravel is getting taken into pool maybe a type of rubber that you get in alot of play parks would be beneficial. The toilet blocks were very clean I liked how each cubical had own shower and toilet. Overall was fantastic camping weekend with family and friends we've booked back up for September!!

lovely setting

Haslam, Scott - 08/07/2024

a nice 3 day stay at Castle Cary, receptionist was vey friendly on arrival, site appeared clean & well kept. pitch was a good size, site not too busy & there seems to have been some consideration made to spread guests out so not everyone squashed together. toilet/shower blocks were well maintained - did get covered in grass but unavoidable when it was just being cut, was cleaned out by the next morning. the uni-sex block wasnt an issue as all cubicles enclosed offering sink, toilet/shower, water hot. used cafe for a take away pizza & breakfast - both decent. used the pub twice for evening meals - food very good & staff very accommodating & friendly in the restaurant. They even put the England game on in the outside eating area.Generally quiet at night, except noise on the Sunday night from what i assume are residence lodges behind us, chatting, climbing over the fence (practically coming in our tent) and playing games on the empty pitches at 22.30 when people were sleeping!
