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.

Recently bought a motorhome and took my 9 year old to stay for a few days.Weather was fantastic, the food was great and the facilities were good apart from no mirror above the men’s sinks so missed half of my face shaving.Won bingo in the mermaid bar so used the winnings to stay an extra night. We will be back.

First impressions were upheld throughout the holiday

We had a fantastic time at Lighthouse Leisure. Firstly, we arrived 3 1/2 hours early, and were able to get straight into the caravan. This was clean, beds made and had everything we needed for our four night break. The facilities on site were basic, but I think this is mainly an owners site where people self cater. The food and drink that we did have on site was good quality and reasonably priced. The staff were outstanding. There wasn’t one member who didn’t give 100% to make sure we enjoyed our break. A thoroughly relaxing break - and our security deposit was put back onto my credit card the day we left site. I will definitely be back. Thank you everyone.

Nice and friendly caravan park with very friendly staff clean and lovely caravans for hire, me and my wife went with our small dog when it was quiet which was great as that's what we wanted. Nice pub on site and Hotel next to the caravan park (which dogs are allowed in both of these premises ) that serves nice meals there is also a sports bar with cafe attached but we didn't go into it there is also a fish and chip shop next to caravan park which we used one night and were happy with food. Dumfries is about 25 -30 minutes away, good for shopping and also loads of little villages close by. Some beautiful beaches along the coast which were quiet and peaceful, overall a very enjoyable and relaxing break.

We booked a pet van for the weekend, descided in the end not to take our dog as had a long drive. Anyway the van wasn't very nice, the smell was bad and the stains on the sofa were disgusting. We have stayed in pet vans before, and none have been like this, all be very clean. We did go straight to complain in the clubhouse as reception was closed when we arrived, and they did find us another van which was much nicer. Overall a nice place, small and quiet. Disappointed you had to pay extra for the pool though, so didn't use it. Went into the club house a few times, nice atmosphere and entertainment. The small arcade bit was rarely open but it is end of season. The camp is about half hour drive to dumfries if you need any shops, there is a small shop on site but barely had anything left on the shelves. We stayed here cos we were attending an event at Mabie farm park. There maybe more to do around there in the summer but not this time of year. Beach is nice for a walk. Staff all grea

Caravan very warm and big, and clean. It had lots of space for a family of four! Very close to pool, pubs and eating places. My kids loved being close to playpark and pool. Paul johns and chippy very good to eat in. 19th hole very good to play pool with family. I visit every year and would definitely book this caravan again. Only negative thing is the cooker didn't work properly.
