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.

It was low season so quiet but facilities and services maintained well and clean. It was our 5th time here and second one week trip here this year in motorhome Motorhome has fully serviced pitch , great walks with dog around grounds and the dog friendly Lairds Inn on site was handy and provides great food at reasonable prices Area is excellent for facilities , cycling and sightseeing in gallowwy forest park. easy to see castles, gardens , wildlife and experience cultural sites within 30 mike radius Creetown walk is good Highly recommended for holiday Plan to return
Lovely big site with lots of space. Handy pub on site!
I was informed that I could book in at from 1 o'clock but when I arrived at on a Sunday 12. 45 was told that reception was closing at at 1 o'clock. The grass electric hook up pitches are at the furthest point from reception with poor signage. Grass pitches are not level. One small playpark for children on a site that holds over 200 static homes. The cafe and shop were closed during our stay. Overall not a great site and I wouldn't recommended it.
This is our second visit this year. The site is clean and very tidy. The toilets and the showers are first class. Full service pitches make life easy. They have a very good cafe that does takeaways. The indoor pool is a real bonus ( small charge to keep it clean and heated) the staff are the most helpful we have come across. A real bonus for us is the restaurant by the castle. Very good food and at a price you can eat each day and relax after enjoying a drink. This is a good site to stay at and we are looking forward to our next visit.
Have been over the years and really liked the park sadly it has went down hill the toilets weren't cleaned all weekend they were disgusting shop pool and games room were shut Sunday Monday for cleaning but there were no signs to tell u this so couldnt even use laundry room because couldn't get tokens staff are very nice and friendly they sent someone to shop so I could get tokens but no fresh bread or milk wouldn't mind so much but they are still taking high season prices and yet could use the facilities was very disappointed because I been the past 4 years and had fell in love with the place but sorry won't be back
I visited the site last summer for an afternoon while my brother & family were there camping and they talked me into trying camping this year.I hadn't camped since I was in the guides about 40 years ago, so I wasn't 100% looking forward to it.The shower block facilities are amazing. We were lucky to have largely dry weather and made use of the park area to play rounders and spent sometime in both the indoor and outdoor pool.We had a few drinks in the on-site bar, which offers meals, but we didn't eat there.I've been bitten by the camping bug, so I guess we'll be back next year.

We have spent many holidays at castle Cary and love it, I understand that after the bank holiday the site was quite but it would have been nice to still be able to use the outdoor pool, it was a bit of a come down when the pub was shut and the games room and shop closed early, we normally visit for Easter and August bank holiday but maybe next year we might drop August and come earlier in the season
The site was lovely and well maintained, great touring pitches and also facilities provided. Food from cafe was great, onsite shop had lots of stuff too! Onsite swimming pools were great although changing areas in need of more regular cleans. This park has nearly everything you need. It would be a perfect location if there was an onsite secure dog field available as although nice walks this would of made the holiday perfect! Staff were friendly and loved the fact you can get food delivered to your caravan never had this before anywhere else!
Stunning site facilities all very good and clean! Staff were very attentive and go that extra mile overall a beautiful place to visit with everyone helpful with clean and tidy facilities.We will definitely be back . The restaurant was beautiful food was stunning and staff very helpful in there too- (I would book as gets very busy) not surprised at all!
Great location, facilities were good, warm clean showers etc. friendly helpful staff
