Set in well-maintained lawns with tarred roads, Lighthouse Leisure is less than a 2 minute walk from the beach and the historic Southerness Lighthouse.
On site we have an adventure playground and leisure complex offering plenty of fun and relaxation for all the family. The park has been in operation for nearly 50 years and being family owned, has built up a well-established warm and friendly atmosphere.
In addition to our 8 month camping pitches, we also operate as a child friendly park and have a fantastic outdoor play area for our younger guests to enjoy. Our touring area is suitable for tents/tourers/motorhomes and have an adjacent modernised toilet and shower facility.
As an ideal opportunity to enjoy the freedom of self-catering, guests can also relax in the comfort and luxury of our holiday caravans. We offer 2/3 bedroom Comfort Plus grade vans and 2/3 bedroom Comfort Pet Friendly caravans with double glazing and central heating.
All caravans have showers. Linen is provided but we ask that you supply your own towels. Cots and highchairs are available to hire. All gas and electric is included in the price.
Onsite, guests can avail of our quality Leisure Centre facility with its own swimming pool, coffee shop, entertainment room, bar, and separate bar for adults only. Immediately adjacent the Park is a fully stocked shop and a regular bus service from the village to Dumfries and intermediate villages.
Off site, there is a host of activities and past times for guests to enjoy. The park is situated next to the championship Southerness Golf Club and there are seven other courses of varying size within a 15 mile radius of Southerness. For those with an interest in angling, sea fishing is available along the coast and a selection of Loch and river fishing inland.
This area also offers several top quality cycling routes within just a 15 minute drive, and has many other cycle routes/paths in the surrounding area. With our prime location, we are also fortunate to have many coastal and forest walks in the surrounding area.
As a perfect day out for the whole family, Dumfries is a short 20 minute drive away where there is the Ice Bowl, Museum and Camera Obscura, the Aviation Museum, Robert Burns Centre, Caerlaveroch Castle, Britain’s only triangular castle and of course the many high street shops. Drumlanrig Caste and Country Park is just 18 miles North of Dumfries and offers something for all the family with an outstanding adventure play park, castle tours, craft workshop, cycle hire, walks and trails.
Less than an hour’s drive away is the world famous Blacksmith’s shop at Gretna Green where romantic runaway marriages were forged in past times. Also Gretna Gateway Outlet Village with around 50 stores and 5 cafes.
Our small touring area has a number of grass standing pitches, all with a 16amp electric hook-up and close to all amenities.

I would possibly return to lighthouse caravan park the only thing I could say we had a motorhome there was a tap for filling water but wasn't suitable for hose so we couldn't use it there was a few motor homes that found it a problem had to use tap at somebody's static caravan and showers could be a bit better but we had a lovely time there just if touring side could be upgraded a bit
First of all no freezer in the van had taken frozen food as was staying Monday till Friday Charge of £20 to use the swimming pool ridiculously expensive You have to pay £4 for wifi Only good thing was very clean van and linen
Hi there,We are sorry you had problems during your stay, we are in the process of modernizing each caravan which includes replacing the fridges with fridge freezers. Unfortunately the caravan you stayed in has not had these changes yet, which we take responsibility for and we apologies for this. The swimming pool is £20 for a session because your session is a family only, private session. During Covid we changed it to private sessions, and we were told by customers this is the preferred option rather to having it as a public session. Regarding the Wi-Fi, we are in process of changing the supplier, the company we use is an outside company and we understand how expensive it is when customers come to stay for a whole week. The Wi-Fi in the bar is free to use, which again we understand is not the most convenient but we are aiming to fix this problem with the internet. We appreciate you coming to stay with us, and apologies again for the issues that arose during your stay.
Arrival and booking in was straightforward caravan was supposed to be custom but was not as expected cleaner must of used the same cloth to clean everything as the work surface was greasy and the dust on the TV was not touched we were not impressed with the experience and would not return.the photo of the static that they sent us was not what we got
We are sorry that your last stay with us was disappointing. We try to respond and get things done if they are reported to office during opening hours or when the office is closed (5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.) and customers leave a message.We apologize for the cleanliness issue. If we knew about the problem, we could have solved it during your stay. We will talk to the cleaning crew to prevent this from happening in the future.
Although it was a wet weekend, lighthouse still saved the day with activities in a marquee with bouncy castles and kids loved it.
Very friendly helpful staff. Good on site facilities.
The van was ideal for us, 2 adults 1 child and our dog. Caravan was clean and plenty of utensils etc for the weekend. Bathroom radiator could do with a paint as very badly marked with rust but still clean. And some upgrading but all in all a great van. Staff are friendly and helpful too. The beach is a short distance from the park and it’s a great walk, clears the head in the morning and dog loved it too. Most places are pet friendly so your not stuck in the van, you can take your pooch to the entertainment and bars.
Thank you for your reply. We will also check the bathroom radiator.
Caravan allocated to us appeared brand new. Van and everything in it was spotless on arrival. Check in was easy.Mermaid bar was nice although only visited it once. Site was well kept, quiet and litter free.
As above-mentioned
Went camping during a storm so wasn’t the best experience. Touring pitch small, only have about 19 pitches, pitches are on grass with no paths, so not the best in wet weather. Toilets clean and tidy. Water pressure definitely needs looked at. Dishwashing facilities very poor. One tap for water again pressure poor. One disposal unit with no rinsing facilities. Club provides good entertainment and bingo over the weekend. Swimming pool can be rented for the hour, book in the pub. Good size, kids had fun. Staff all very friendly. Good wee site for a few nights. Also good karaoke in the 19th hole. Lovely meal in the Paul Jones.
Thank you for your review. We will have a look on all mentioned suggestions.
Was a lovely holiday
