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.

Have visited the site several times before. As usual the caravan was spotless, bedding made up and the kitchen area was well equipped. Router inside the caravan made for easy internet access for all. Will definitely visit this site again.

Everything was brilliant. Only complaint is we had to buy descale tablets for the kettle as it was really bad and couldn't drink from it. Maybe remind the cleaners that the kettles need descaled. Everything else was perfect. The pool was great mermaid bar was very good too

Relaxing short break

We were very impressed with our caravan. Very modern, clean van with everything we needed. Excellent WiFi. The keys were there on our arrival. The staff were very helpful. Also the van was extremely close to all the amenities. There were some lovely walks along the beach. A very chilled, relaxing stay. Also the refundable deposit was refunded to our bank account quickly.Would definitely recommend it to our friends.

Lovely little campsite

Barry, V - 02/09/2025

I had visited another local campsite yrs ago & remember seeing this one & thought we would give it a try. My caravan no. 89 was lovely & modern in a great location. It was comfy & well equipped, there was a few odd this that could have been in the caravan like bigger bowls, a jug & a toaster The campsite is lovely. The bar had a good atmosphere & the drink was cheaper. Little amusement for the kids. The pool is £20 for a private 1hr & 15 min session, just remember to take your own pool toys with you. The local area has another class bar across the road & an excellent pub serving great food, we went 3 times in 5 days. There’s also a local amusement, little shop & a fish shop, which seems to be better on the night. The beach is with in walking distant but more rocks. You can use the amusements & bar on the park dene site as well

Perfect for a family reset and Very Dog Friendly

Fisher, J - 02/09/2025

Great access to the beach, caravan was a higher spec than what was expected considering it was a dog friendly booking, area really good for families with dogs as everywhere we visited was very dog friendly. Only improvement suggestion is that there could be more evening entertainment aimed at children considering it was still the school holidays

Not a great stay

Lucas, J - 25/08/2025

This was our 1st time with family on the site, between us we had 3 caravans, unfortunately our stay was ruined by a fight in the camper next to us (the camper was in between myself and one if my family members caravans), we didn't like that we were between two camping tents, there wasn't much to do on the park, you got terrible looks in the club when we went to see if bingo was on and got told not to attend if we had child due to the local not liking a noise. Unfortunately would not recommend this site to my family members
