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.

Lovely park

Ferguson, Yvonne - 01/12/2024

Fabulous setting, really good pitches with easy to use electric, water and waste on pitch. The toilet/shower facilities were excellent and well heated in a cold autumn. Easy to access from the main road and close to amenities

OH DEAR!

McDonnell, Debbie - 01/11/2024

We were looking for somewhere to shower and have a good meal after a week of camping off grid. This looked terrific! The receptionist said the swimming pool/games room were closed- we arrived at 3pm . We decided we would stay so we could have dinner at the pub. My son was happy to wait till the next morning to use the pool. We went for showers then walked to the pub in the castle, which was closed all day on Wednesdays! We had very little food so ended up eating cereal for dinner. The next day we went to the pool but it was like a building site as there were refurbishments going on. Tools and work benches, including unguarded still saws were left in the hallway leading to the pool. The floor was littered with debris and it was utterly shambolic. Not to mention a very serious safety hazard. It should have remained closed! Staff were busy preparing food for a wedding so the wait time for a cup of the was 20 minutes.

Overnight motorhome stop

Facilities excellent! Second to none. Clean, spacious, warm. Staff excellent. Helpful, efficient and relaxed. On site restaurant and bar excellent and inexpensive (compared to down south). Location, metres from the sea, next to Creetown where there is a cheap fuel station. We hope to return to explore the area.

Out of Season break

Cassidy, Richard - 18/10/2024

This was an out of season break. Not all facilities were available throughout the stay! There was also a lot of refurbishment works being carried out which I’m sure will improve the 25 Season Indoor pool was open and clean and tidy but again heating in the changing rooms was being replaced so was cold We will probably come back next year to experience the new facilities The local area has lots to offer would recommend a visit to Garlieston a hidden gem !

Very clean facilities. Good views and walks. Recommend both museums in Creetown within easy walking distance. Good pub food at the Laird's Inn but definitely book in advance.

Lovely spot!

Mason, Lisa - 01/10/2024

We enjoyed our stay at Castle Cary Holiday Park. We stayed in a tent with an EHU, and the spots were large and everything was very convenient. Toilets were clean and convenient due to the layout of the toilet/shower stalls.The kids enjoyed playing at the nearby playpark, biking and swimming in the pool. We also had a campfire, which was great. Loads of midges, but that is to be expected in the summer season!
