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.

Staff are nice and really helpful. Caravan was very clean.We didn’t really bother much with the entertainment so can’t comment on that. Lovely place for a relaxing break.
Great location. Booking into our caravan the staff were lovely and friendly. The park grounds are well maintained. The caravan was spotless. Swimming pool is great as you book it out for your party. Only complaint the girl who served us there was standing outside smoking when she could clearly see we were waiting to book into the pool, not nice getting served by someone stinking of smoke and not a good advert for a five year old to see, who questions everything.
Great value for money. Caravan was clean and we had ample room. Everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay with our two dogs. The site and caravan were easy to find. Lots to do round about. The bar staff and reception staff were all very pleasant. We didn’t use the entertainment area but did use the bar. The site was very clean and well maintained. Being so close to the shore was great. Lots of walking opportunities. Hubby used the nearby golf course. We never actually left Southerness as we wanted a relaxed break and that’s what we had. Would recommend the site to friends and family if looking for a more low key holiday.
Was very apprehensive before I arrived as we are used to booking with Haven but on arrival I was greeted by lovely staff at reception the caravan was spotless and looked very well looked after, the shop was very reasonably priced for icecreams and essentials. The play park was brilliant and plenty seats next to it to watch over the kids and enjoy a drink. The swimming pool was amazing you book it and have it all to yourself for £20 the changing areas were clean and showers were lovely and warm the kids have a blast!! Can't wait to return.
Lovely caravan and well equipped. Amenities to hand are very good for children and adults alike. Staff are all very pleasant and friendly. Great base to go out and about from. Didn't use the bus but there is a route from the camp to Dumfries. There's a handy mini mart at the camp. Dogs are welcomed at the three pubs on and around the site.
Lovely caravan. Quiet location which suited us. Close to beach and nearby hotel which does great food. Will definitely be returning
Great cooking facilities, absolutely spotless on arrival. Friendly and efficient staff. A thoroughly enjoyable stay from start to finish and would recommend to anyone.
Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. See you next time
Situated in lovely location. Site very well managed, clean and tidy. Only used the mini market, did not require children’s entertainment.
A nice clean caravan but no welcoming bits and bobs at all. Not one ornament. Disappointed there was no toaster as we usually have toast every night. Tried the grill but not the same. Another problem was there was no towels. We have done caravans from the Sun for years and always got towels. We had to buy one to use. Fortunately we took our own dish towels. There was also no brush or vacum. We couldn’t sweep the floor as all there was was a little hand brush and shovel. As we are both pensioners we were unable to go o our hand and knees to clean. Apart from all this we enjoyed our few days there as there was lots to do. The pub just five minutes away was very welcoming for our dog.
Thank you for your review. We will pass your suggestions to management about brush to change it for one with long handle. Regarding towels and tea towels, all our staff when customers contacting with us to confirm the booking explaining that we not supply them. I'm so sorry that you wasn't informed about that.
A lovely site, tucked out of the way in Southerness. Couple of pubs, shop, chip shop, small amusement arcade and the beach. What more do you need. The site is clean and tidy, staff friendly and helpful.We had the dog with us, so the van was a little older, but again very clean. The mattress in the main bedroom was hotel standard, so comfy. We would definitely recommend it 👍
Thank you for your review, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully see you next time
