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.

NOT A LOT TO DO

Gander, A - 26/06/2026

Website is totally useless, does not allow you look at caravans types, there is no descriptions or anything. The contact email address on the website is aol, which tells you lots. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the caravans are basic, dont expect a toaster.The site has a pool, which you can hire at £20 for 1hr 15 mins. It has a club and amusment arcade.There is nothing close by, other than 2 pubs 1 does pub grub, but on the dear side, the other has a tea house attached, which does snacks, but closes 4pm. There's also a chippy, and a mini market.It is a a 6 mile hike to get to main road, and another 12 miles to Dumfries, New Abbey has a ruined abbey, but you pay to go in.Would I stay again? No, due to being too far from anywhere, 1 hour minimum travelling, to see anything other than beautiful countryside, and a view of Solway Firth sandbeds, as tide goes ot for miles.

Response from the owner

Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the distance from nearby towns, our park is in the rural area and most customers choose us for the peace and quiet. Regarding our website, you can find information there that we have 2/3 bedroom Comfort Plus and Comfort Pet grade caravans. If you need detailed information about a caravan, you can always call the office and speak with the staff. Regarding the opening hours of bars, the shop or the café, these are separate businesses and we don't set their opening hours.

Dog friendly

McMillan, G - 19/06/2026

We hired a dog friendly caravan and it was soo clean. Expected to be able tell it was for dogs but no signs at all. The caravan park is small which suited us but the pubs round about are all suitable for dogs and only 2 minute walk to beach. Beware if tide is out has sinking sand in some places !!!

Southerness very enjoyable

Chadwick, L - 16/06/2026

Our caravan was excellent, extremely clean and comfortable, no complaints at all.We didn't use the bar or swimming pool, so cant comment on those.The staff that we met were very helpful and pleasant and made it easy for us to ask questions.The shop was very handy and the staff were exceptionally pleasant.As far as value for money is concerned, it couldn't get any better. Extremely good value for money!The surrounding area was lovely, as we like walking, we found the area to be perfect for us.The beach has a lovely old lighthouse and is very rocky. We enjoyed many walks along the beach, again it was perfect for us.I would definitely go there again.
