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.

Fab wee site

Menzies, Julie - 04/06/2026

First time staying here and won't be the last, definitely made the best decision booking this site and not the Park Dean one. I asked for a pitch near the toilets for health reasons and we got the top pitch right next to them which was perfect, wondered if it would be noisy tho right next to the bar but we had no issues at all. We loved it so much we're thinking we might come again next weekend but for 3 nights and we're gonna watch the Scotland game and all the other entertainment the Mermaid Bar has planned. Staff on check in very friendly, toilets/showers clean and staff in the club were fabulous.

One night stay

We stayed for one night with our two 9 year old grandchildren in our first Motorhome holiday. Lovely site and nice walk to the beach the only downfall was having to hire the full pool, great if there is 8 of you going swimming but when there is only two worked out too expensive so the children couldn’t go swimming, although they did have fun in the sea.

Nice caravan park

Filipowicz, K - 29/05/2026

We had a nice stay at the Lighthouse Leisure. The caravan was clean and tidy. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the beach and the Lighthouse, with the pubs and chip shop in a close proximity. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Kate, who gave us such a warm welcome and some excellent recommendations for nearby beauty spots.

First impression

Hutton, I - 26/05/2026

We have been before. But on this occasion very disappointed. I asked for two toilets and got a toilet and a shower room. All the doors were sticking and and the entrance door had a gap at the top which allowed the wind to come in. I tried to cook a meal and could not operate the Microwave as there was no instructions also the main gas oven kept cutting out whilst cooking. The beds were really uncomfortable and the plug in the shower room sink did not work. I asked for two toilets as some of my party were disabled. It was that bad that we came home on the Thursday afternoon although we were not due to leave until the Friday. I left a list of the coplaints in the office when I handed in the key on Thusday afternoon. I won't be back. Very disgruntled customer.
