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.

Think a toaster would be a great help and a little welcome pack in case it’s late and you don’t get to the shop, sachets of tea/coffee/milk and little pack of biscuits. Otherwise we couldn’t fault anything. Will definitely be back

We arrived on 27/10 , easy check in and able to locate our static with no issues. Static was lovely, ours was a dog friendly and perfect for our 4 night break. Shop on site, club house still open. Chippy/pubs/cafe in walking distance. The beach was a 5 min walk and is gorgeous, the dogs loved the freedom to have a run. We will definitely be back.

I arrived Friday to Tuesday on the weekend festival which was predominantly Saturday only not much happening Friday and Sunday also showers and taps don't stay on long enough also chemical waste has no tap to wash out toilet cassette and people are using the drinking water tap to do this by jamming filler pipe against tap that's a no no as kids were putting mouths to tap to drink water from tap

We stayed at caravan park at the beginning of September. Myself, husband and 2 grandchildren. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much bother. We were booked for the swimming for Saturday and Sunday morning which was great because we had the pool to ourselves! Caravan was very nice and spotlessly clean. Entertainment on Saturday afternoon was very good, live band which got some people up dancing! We sat outside while the grandchildren played in the park, which was right beside the entertainment. Would like to return, probably next year! It definitely was value for money! 😁
