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.

Short walk to the beech

Toms, M - 24/03/2026

Easy to find. Very pro active, helpful lady in reception. All staff and family met were friendly as were visitors and residents. Easy parking by caravan. Proper solid steps to door. Lovely and warm inside, especially considering this was last minute and it was Baltic outside! Everything was clean as new and all kitchen needs covered. Bathroom all good. Twin rooms were more like adult length and wiggle space. One hour slots easily booked for pool use. There was a charge but it was all yours. Clubhouse running bingo, bar and some entertainment. Very friendly. Pretty good as we were prior to season. A lot of thought put into visitor comfort and pleasure. Four local places for drinks and eats. Tried one Very good. All looked good. Small shop with essentials. I was post illness and he was pre spine op so very much appreciated all was so good. Thank you.

fantastic staff - lovely wee site

Hendrie, J - 17/03/2026

there isn't much to say other than the staff are amazing. We had an issue, no one's fault, with our first van and they upgraded us, without hesitation or needing to be asked. Everything was moved for us.Not much on the site or around it, without a car it would be difficult to do anything offsite. However the Mermaid bar is a lovely wee bolt hole where I would happily spend more time.Only the pub next door was open for food when we were there. Although delicious it was expensive - captive audience.Everyone we encountered, locals included, was lovely. If you go to the beach - the sandy bit is to the right !
