Great for Dogs

This was our 5th visit and we love it you can walk for miles in any direction and not meet anyone else this time we managed to get a pitch overlooking the Harbour and watch the many changing scenery pictures. The pub is as people have said is dog friendly and the Staff and landlord remembered us from last year. The wardens are great, friendly and keep the flower borders lovely. The showers are lovely and hot and kept very clean both by the wardens and the people using the site well done everyone.

Excellent site

We spent 6 nights at Garlieston from 07.08.16 and had a great time. The site is nice and peaceful and both Wardens are very helpful, friendly and professional. Nothing appears to be any trouble to them and their knowledge of local places of interest was appreciated. The toilets are very clean, although a wee bit dated now, and are more than adequate. The local hotel, the Harbour, do excellent meals at various times of the day and include carry-outs if wanted. The evening meals were excellent and value for money. Service was very good by all the staff and the quality was second to none and I would recommend a visit while at this site. All in all there was nothing that caused us any concern and I have absolutely no reservation in recommending this site and the Team there for making our visit so enjoyable. Thanks to them again.

Great site

Garleiston is a wonderful quiet site. The wardens are friendly and efficient. the site is well manicured and the shower blocks are spotless. It is a great site for peace and quiet but there is not much in the area for children. Although the shower blocks are well looked after the harbour block is getting a bit dated and in my view should be refurbished reducing the privacy cubicles and increasing the number and size of the showers. Please dont let the last comment put you off the site as it's still a great place. Also try the Harbour Inn for decent food and a good pint. RT

Peace and tranquilty

Second visit to this site and it just gets better - Great welcome from Ann and Martin who manage a meticulously manicured site - a stone is never out of place - got a great pitch that was sheltered and allowed us to watch the day go by. Facilities are great but slightly dated compared to some of the renovated sites. The village is quiet with one shop and one pub - which offers great atmosphere super service and great reasonably priced food. The overall area has many hidden treasures that are worth driving round, much history from the wars took place here - also a heaven for cyclists and fishermen(except mackeral - in joke). Well worth the visit and we will return A downside for some but not for us is that the area doesnt hold much for kids unless they are outdoor lovers - it is dog heaven though!! ps Harbour Inn is dog friendly too

A hidden Gem

If Carlsberg made wardens then Martin and Ann would be their top of the range, so welcoming and helpful. The site is kept immaculate with their hard work so well done to you both. The setting is peaceful with easy walks in either direction from the site, The Harbour Inn serves good food until 8-30pm.

Beautiful and relaxing.

Just returned from this beautiful, well-maintained site with our 14 year old son. Golfing, fishing, cycling and walking from this gem of a site. The wardens were friendly and welcoming and very informative. Stunning scenery everywhere with quaint little harbour villages with many coffee shops and tea houses. The site has a great pub within walking distance that offers super food at reasonable prices. There are activity centres within driving distance for lots of different things for the kids to do. This site is well worth a visit - you won't be disappointed.

Get a life

Recent visit to this siterm with family but was put off when apparently we where having toooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun it was 10.30 when the warden gave us a visit we where not loud as we are of a mature age and always finished our night by 11 as is the rules but to be told that noise travels at 10.30 was a downer . I think the the club if it doesn't want to die needs to encourage younger members not rowdy etc but sensible my daughter and son in law are both in their 40s were shocked at how people are. The wardens where nice but maybe should have advised the said complaint ends to ring back after 11 if the noise continued (which it wouldn't have) I have now bought a pair of slippers to wear so I don't make a noise on the gravel hardstanding otherwise had a cracking holiday

Super laid back site

We stayed at Garleiston for 3 nights as a stopover from the Scottish Highlands, on the way back home to West Norfolk. A super little site – a bit compact but, with three separate areas, it was reasonably quiet & relaxed. We walked both ways along the coastline, south to the ruins of Cruggleton Point & north to the fort at Eggerness. It was, of course, de rigueur to stop off at the welcoming Harbour Inn for refreshments afterwards! What we weren’t aware of, until we drove into the village and saw the entrance sign, was the local connection to the testing of the Mulberry Harbours used in the Normandy D-Day landings. There is little physical evidence of this event now but there is a notice board just outside the site giving relevant details. Such is the dominance of the site in the village, you do wonder how the pub & Post Office survive during the winter months when the site is closed. Nonetheless, a laid back site in an area that is a bit off the beaten track.

Beautiful location, so peaceful and relaxing. The ideal location to explore from if you want or just sit and relax admiring the views. Lovely pub within walking distance which serves delicious meals or snacks. Wardens were very welcoming and always happy to help if needed.

Great wardens. Peaceful site

Lovely site in a quiet location. Great for coastal walks and exploring the rural delights of this part of Dumfries and Galloway. Really helpful, flexible and friendly wardens, who could not have been more welcoming. They found us a lovely pitch in the walled garden. Probably not the best site for young families, as you are quite a way from any significant towns or facilities, although we found that to be one of the benefits. Our second time here and we shall definitely be back.
