Ticks all boxes

Ideal location for every mood, whether you want to relax, hike, tour or cycle, it accommodates. Easy walk into village for bowls, community, local history, or a pub lunch. Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable wardens take obvious pride in their job and their site, which is laid out immaculately offering spacious pitching where you can choose the sheltered area or open waterfront. All pitches offer spectacular views, toilets are bright, clean and warm, and the whole place is decked with colourful plants and shrubs, which just add to the beauty. We spent Friday to Tuesday on the waterfront and loved every minute, and look forward to revisiting soon. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant.

We love this place

We stayed in the walled garden...so quiet and peaceful...toilet block very comfortable, warm and clean. The wardens are very friendly and helpful. Our dog loves the walks and the roads are quiet for cycling. We would love to be go more often to this site but unfortunately have a ferry trip to get there from N. Ireland. We had a meal in the Harbour Inn as recommended by the wardens and it was very tasty, good value and dog friendly. Will definitely return.

a weekend to remember

A beautiful site on the waterfront in Garlieston village. 2 minute walk to the Harbour Inn for a bite to eat or a refreshment or two. Great site for cycling/walking or chilling out watching the tide ebb and flow. The grounds are very well kept with some nice flowers in bloom in Scotland in April !!! Toilet block was very clean with excellent shower cubicles. Nice friendly wardens who take the time to speak to the caravan/motorhome owners. Well worth a visit and on the list for a return visit.

One of our favourites

One of our favourite Club sites. Peaceful set right on the waters edge. Unfortunately we were not able to get one of the pitches on the harbor wall this time, but the wardens made a few suggestions to ensure we had a nice pitch with some view of the bay. Facilities are spotless, tho probably in need of an upgrade. No reflection on the wardens just time for the Club to invest a bit of money. The wardens ( Mr and Mrs Kinney ) are excellent and look after this site on their own. always welcoming and happy to have a chat even in their busy schedule. The location is ideal for a peaceful break. The Harbour Inn is 2 minutes walk and serves great food.

garlieston review

After a very relaxed, and peaceful break at garlieston, I thought for the first time i have to leave a review. The site,town, and surrounding areas are absolutely beautiful. There is a lovely pub in the village that does extremely well priced meals, that would satisfy any hungry travelers cravings. They also allow dogs, ( even my 11 stone bullmastiff ), which is a blessing for anyone that doesn't want to leave their four legged companions for to long in the van. The facilities are absolutely spotless, and well maintained. the couple that run the site are very pleasant and always eager to please, and help wherever, and whenever they can. Nothing is a problem and they are always smiling. The surrounding countryside is beautiful Scotland at its best, rolling hills and beautiful sea views. The roads are quite quiet, for cyclists or walkers who don't want to stray off the main thoroughfares, and for those that do there are great hill walking, or off road cycling routes. There is a bit of everything, for everyone at garlieston, and i would recommend this site to anyone. Now just to try and find another one like it !!!!!!!!!!!

Visit Prior to Easter 2017

We had 3 nights at this site. We were able to have a pitch right on the front overlooking the harbour. It was spectacular watching the tides comes and go and listening to the stream tinkling under our window. This is a small site in a very out of the way place so it is very peaceful. There were no small children as there is no play area. We were able to walk along the beach to Rigg Bay and Gallow Gardens. We didn't test the local hostelry but it came highly recommended. The wardens work very hard and keep the place spotless. They are a font of knowledge about the area and what to see.

Great time at Garlieston

We stayed at Garlieston for 5 nights during Easter week 2017 and we really enjoyed it. The Wardens were really welcoming and relaxed. The site is very well kept and Ann takes great pride in her flower displays which brighten up the site. The location of the site is in a very nice and quaint little village which also has a nice local pub. There are some great walks from the site along the coast which could be cycled as well. We enjoyed exploring the local area and picking up local produce like free range duck eggs, award winning haggis and rare breed black pig pork. The site also has visits from the fish monger and a butcher which we made use of too. There is a fish and chip van that visits Garlieston on a Friday thats worth taking advantage of as well. I would recommend visiting the Isle of Whithorn which has a nice little harbour and walk up to the headland. It also has a nice community run tea room that serves great breakfasts as well as coffee and cakes. We will definatelly be back sometime.

Happy Easter

Arrived Friday afternoon and greeted with warm smile and a choice of pitches. Chose a pitch in the walled garden as we wanted to try our awning on our motorhome for the first time and didn't want to worry about the wind. Pitches are very spacious and the site was well kept. Plenty of places to walk the dog and sampled the local pub. Food was good and also a warm welcome. The site toilet/ shower block in the walled garden was cosy, clean and warm and the shower's were very good. Would recommend this site to family's or couples. If you get the weather it will be well worth your journey.

Perfect Week's Break

Arrived on 8th April from Perth for a week's break. The location of this site is stunning! Everywhere was clean and tidy. There isn't much to do in Garlieston itself, but perfect place if you're looking to get away from it all. The fresh fish van appeared on the Tuesday, with an impressive selection, and there was also a fish and chip van in the car park outside the site on the Friday. This is a great place for dog people, like ourselves, as there are lovely walks. In summary, if you want a bit of peace and quiet, and you're not looking for a bustling town, this site is perfect.
