New England Bay is a coastal Club Campsite on the shore of Luce Bay. It is carefully landscaped into seven pitching areas, each with a different character and lovely sea views. The Caravan and Motorhome Club Site has direct access to a clean and sandy beach which is ideal for swimming, sailing, water sports and sea angling. The peaceful and picturesque location also provides an ideal base for exploring the machars and Rhins of Galloway, one of the unspoilt corners of Scotland.

The area surrounding New England Bay Club Campsite has a wealth of wild flowers and bird life, the Galloway Coastal Path follows the site boundary on the beach side and the quiet lanes are ideal for cycling and running. Terally Riding Centre, 2 miles away, offers pony trekking. The nearby RSPB Visitor Centre and Mull of Galloway Lighthouse will provide a range of entertainment and education for you and your family.

The nearby town of Stranraer has golf courses, green bowling, a swimming pool, sports centre, theatre and cinema. There are a number of local gardens to visit including Port Logan Botanic Gardens, Ardwell Gardens and Logan House Gardens, while Castle Kennedy Gardens and Glenwhan Gardens are a pleasant drive from the site. That Marine Fish Pond is a Victorian curiosity. Port Patrick, only a 20 minute drive away, is a pretty harbour with a Lifeboat Station, shops and good places to eat. The Titanic experience in Belfast is a possible excursion from Cairnryan Port.

Remoteness Personified

Large site, with mainly grass pitches, spread out in a linear fashion along the beach. Make no mistake there are no shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants....anything within walking distance. It is possible to walk to Drummore (7km) , but this would involve the pebbly beach and main road. However, this is a... Show more

A lovely site in a beautiful location

A lovely site in a peaceful location. The site is well maintained and the facilities blocks are spotlessly clean. We walked from the site to Logan Botanic Gardens which are well worth a visit. Highly recommended site.

Peace and Quiet

Great site for dolphins and seabird/ground bird watching. Very remote but so peaceful. That said it’s difficult to walk any distance along beach to Drumore (pub here) as very stoney/ rocky beach especially at high tide. Road walkable but not much verge and it’s the A716! Beautiful views... Show more
