An ideal location for a relaxing holiday, Garlieston Club Campsite is both peaceful and picturesque. Divided into two sections for choice of comfort, one section of the campsite offers beautiful views overlooking the bay, while the other provides a far more secluded and sheltered space for those who enjoy extra privacy and quiet. All non-awning pitches and a limited number of awning pitches are located in the part overlooking the bay, while all pitches in the walled area accommodate awnings.
Garlieston Club Campsite gives you easy access to the rural charms of Garlieston village, geared towards farming and leisure. Many of the attractive cottages in the crescents that wrap around the bay are holiday homes, and pleasure craft now share the harbour with a few fishing boats. The campsite is well located for fishing, boating, cycling and walking, with adjacent access to a coastal path leading to the famed azaleas and rhododendrons of Galloway House Gardens. The sandy beach at Rigg Bay, where wartime Mulberry Harbours were tested, is an excellent place to spend a summer day. If you're happy to venture further afield, The Galloway Forest Park offers 300 square miles of beautiful moorland, lochs and mountain tops to explore.

Very friendly welcome
Garlieston Club Campsite
We stopped here primarily so that I could visit Wigtown. A joy. The bus stops just outside the site and we were able to leave the MH behind for the morning. There was also a really interesting exhibition about the Mulberry Landings in the village hall.
The site is quite cramped but in a lovely location overlooking the bay and we enjoyed a lovely walk along the coastal path to a garden at Galloway House and back.
Judith, the Manager was particularly warm and friendly.

Great Site
Garlieston Club Campsite
Lucky enough to get a pitch directly overlooking the harbour and bay - magnificent in every way. Toilet blocks are dated but they are very clean and the showers have fantastic pressure.
Garlieston itself has the Harbour Pub which served a reasonable pint of Real ale and the food was fine without being spectacular. The Hive Cafe is fantastic with great coffee and lovely cheese scones.There are some very easy walks direct from the site.
The small town of Wigtown has an annnual book festival and therefore has some fantastic and quirky book shops and although not really golfers but when in Scotland you have to play so we took the clubs and found St Medans Golf Club stunning and immaculate. Wonderful coastal views from every part of the course, hardly anybody playing on a Thursday meaning we can hack around to our hearst content. Great value at £25 a round for over 4 hours entetainment !
All in all a great 4 nights with good weather an added bonus.
Lovely stay
Garlieston Club Campsite
Not been to this area before, great campsite with good facilities and very helpful staff, kept very clean and tidy. We pitched in the walled garden where it was lovely and quiet. Interesting area, lot of history with the Mulberry Harbours. Good local walks, pub and coffee shop. All very dog friendly.
what a lovely place
Garlieston Club Campsite
our first time with the club and site and couldn't wish for a better start to our time. Edgar and his wife are great hosts and make you feel very comfortable and welcome.
They look after the site really well and are happy to help with anything you need or want to know.
The facilities are spotless and really clean and warm. A handy laundry room helps if you are away for a longer period or have kids!
the view across the bay and of the mountains in the distance is a great back drop to your stay.
loved the local pub a short walk away, great food. a few more steps away is the Hive coffee shop serving great food and loads of wonderful home made cakes.
loved this place so much that we have booked to go back in the summer.

Great stopover - beautiful location
Garlieston Club Campsite
Used this site as a one night stopover during our holiday.
Quite busy, but not noisy.
Views and the sunrise at the beach are wonderful.
Will be happy to visit again.
