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.

Weekend away

The outdoor pool could do with some maintenance , outside shower cold the one in hut had a broken head. The showers in the shower block nearest the pool had no pressure. They didn't stay on and were cold . The toilets were not cleaned in the day as they were the same marks in the toilets and sinks in the evening as in the morning . The chemical waste literally a board between that and the sinks was not a pleasant experience when someoneis emptyingtheir waste .The distance for non electric pitches to the amenities was far. The road onto the field was very rough. The shop looked uninviting the smell of the fat from the kitchen in the shop, pool table area and pool paying desk was awful . The staff sat around on their phones behind the counter, made you feel unwelcome

Absolutely love this and the Lairds inn but the park needs a substantial upgrade of the toilet and shower facilities i have to use disabled facilities and when using the disabled shower water was not draining away and the whole room ended up flooded , so as mentioned facilities are very dated but the park itself is awesome

The campsite is beautiful

The campsite itself is beautiful we have been coming every year for the past 3 years. This year however something was off. The service at the cafe was horrendous. Playing on their phones sat on the counter. No milk to make coffees. There was milk in the fridge. The breakfast has changed. The toilets on the campground were disgusting 90% of the time. The swimming pool was foul. Someone instead of going to the toilet decided to pee in the changing room on the floor. When I informed the staff, they just laughed about it. We did have some really good points. The park is fantastic for the kids, the food at the pub was absolutely amazing! I love waking up the the view of the castle!

Overall opinion

Smith, Laura - 25/08/2026

The holiday park its self is a lovely setting, very friendly staff. The one thing that let our stay down was the cleanliness of the shower block and toilets, I would recommend a daily cleaner in these areas to which we would then rate the park 5 stars
