Great escape to life again!.

Our first time to this part of Scotland and we will definitely be coming back to Garlieston. It is the perfect place to be based with the advantage of having lovely scenic walks from the site and beautiful coastline places to visit within a short drive. Anne and Martin are perfect site managers, making us feel safe and comfortable in a well maintained site. Even the rain and stormy weather didn't spoil anything, loved the time we had here just wish it was longer. Mike & Irene.

Excellent

An excellent stay, our third. Wonderful pitch overlooking the water, helped by near perfect weather. Relief wardens friendly, first class and helpful in trying to extend our 3 day stay (we eventually succeeded due to a cancellation). Some attractions closed due to Coronavirus, but plenty to see anyway especially with good weather.

Just keeps getting better

This is our fifth visit to this wonderful site - it's a credit to the CAMC and all due to the work of the Site Managers Anne and Martin. Facilities spotless, Covid angles all covered - additional cleaning, gel, separation etc

Great to get out again

Love to end our holiday at this site. It is so relaxing. Also close to the ferry for going home. The Harbour Inn was very organised to allow us to feel safe and the food was good too. The site is well organised to deal with Covid and to help people feel safe out in the world again. Missed the shop in reception. Good for dogs with walks in either direction.

A credit to the Club

Another visit to this lovely site on the day it fully opened again after lockdown. As usual Anne and Martin are wonderful friendly wardens and keep the site in perfect order and are a credit to the club. The site is set on the seafront of the lovely olde world Village of Garlieston and has access to the pier for fishing and great dog walks and beaches in the area. This is an ideal site for a quiet get away with great views of the bay. Keep up the great work guys. Julie & Rod Blake

Lovely getaway

This is the first club site we have visited and we were very impressed. A n immaculate and well organised site with wardens who had obviously done all they could to make it as safe as possible. We followed one of the walk routes suggested and really enjoyed ourselves. Everyone else on the site was friendly and considerate. What a great location - beaches, rock pools,harbour, gardens, woodland and more. We were in our motorhome so only ventured out on foot but for those who are in caravans or happy to drive this site is a good base. A great meal at The Harbour and delicious fish & chips from the van that visits on a Friday. We had a lovely break and will return to explore more.

Great to be back at our favourite site after lockdown. Just the best site to chill out after all the stress of lockdown. The site is always spotless which is all down to the hard work that the wardens ,Anne and Martin do. The only thing missing is not the usual flower display which is always brilliant. The Best. Nothing is a bother for the wardens. A lovely couple.

A first stay at a CAMC site

Stayed mid July 2020 just after lockdown easing. A very warm welcome from the helpful wardens who instructed what to do regarding checking in and the use of facilities. Very reassuring and felt safe. Weather was kind and the views from the pitch were excellent. Although a hardstanding site was booked there had been some serious fault with some of the EHU's on site so an equivalent grass pitch was allocated ... thankfully the grass and subsoil were in perfect condition so no problem at all. Nearby the local pub 'The Harbour Inn' was fully open and serving meals in a very well controlled and safe environment. The beach was lovely and the dogs has a great time running around and enjoying themselves between tides ... of which high tide comes in very quickly and it is a joy just to sit and watch the fast changing environment and wildlife of the sea shore and shallow bay. All in all a brilliant site and definitely on the 'return to list' especially as it is in my home county of Dumfries and Galloway. Well done wardens and team CAMC

A reassuring visit

Just back from 4 nights, 5th or 6th visit. Great site - lovely coastal walks and even if the weather isn't good watching the tide come in and out is so relaxing. Highlight was the osprey flying round the bay on Tuesday. Wanted to thank the CAMC and especially the wardens for the reassuring Covid procedures. The access to the facilities worked very well - 1 person at a time here (apart from a couple of women who obviously hadn't read the signs properly and came in while I was in). We also used the Harbour Inn, food as good as ever and they are very organised regarding distancing etc. Will definitely be back later in the season. By the way - wet fish van not calling at the moment.

Still our favourite site

We spent the last 4 nights of the season at Garlieston (the last to leave again! ) As always the site and facilities were immaculate, and a credit to the wardens Ann and Martin, who work hard to maintain their own high standards. We were talking to a local who said that not only are Ann and Martin good for the site but they are good for the village too. They have made the site very popular which has brought custom to local businesses. He said he wished the site could remain open all year (a sentiment we agree with) We are already looking forward to our next visit to Garlieston and would like to thank Ann and Martin for their friendly welcome, always staying cheerful and being ready to give any assistance needed Maralyn and Lindsay Menzies
