Lovely site
Just spent a week at Garlieston and thought it was a wonderfull site very relaxing, Harbour inn very dog friendly good food will return ??
First Scotland visit
A lovely site in a beautiful location very good clean and well maintained facilities. The site wardens were very friendly and helpful and readily available. Visited the nearby villages and towns and the bus rides were good although a little more expensive than we are used to. Would definitely revisit.

Our Scottish Trip
Very peaceful site, helpful staff not much to do in the area except walk. Good local buses and a nice meal in the Harbour Inn.
Keep going back
Have visited yearly for the past 10 years at least and it is our favourite club site. This year the weather was bad, wet, windy and cold most of the time. It is a pity to see the village shop still empty and the housing development at the back of the site is still left unfinished and unsightly. The site itself is excellent, clean and well maintained, a credit to the friendly wardens. Probably not for people who don't like dogs, never seen so many including our two, but great if you do have dogs, beaches adjacent and lots of walks with little traffic, wonderful bird life and fantastic views. Not much for children to do though, it is rather like an adults only site. Very quiet and peaceful. Till the next time.
Cycling and motorhoming heaven
An immaculate site in a stunning setting. Easy walks along the coast and inland. A network of undulating roads ideal for 66yr olds cyclist. Quiet roads and easy parking in towns and villages makes moving around in 25ft motorhome easy. Steampacket at the Isle of Whithorn is a must visit for us.
Gem of a site
We spent three super nights at this gem of a site in June 16. The site is split into two halves, one overlooking the beautiful bay, the other in a tranquil walled garden. We opted for a pitch overlooking the bay with gorgeous views.
The site is well maintained with toilet blocks serving both halves, so not too far to walk. Facilities are up to the usual caravan club standards and the wardens were extremely helpful and friendly.
There is not much to do in Garlieston itself, but it does have the wonderful Harbour Inn (the only pub in town!) however the ale and food is top notch, you will get a warm and friendly from staff and locals alike.
We like walking, and the area surrounding the site will not disappoint. Wildlife is also a big plus point in the area.
Great place, highly recommended.
Peaceful, Clean, Friendly, Perfect
Recently visited Garlieston for a few days away. We couldn't have picked a better site. A warm welcome greeted us from the wardens, who were friendly, helpful, and run a beautiful site.
The whole site, and the whole village, was spotlessly clean and tidy. I've never been somewhere so quiet and peaceful, and it was the ideal location for a quiet break. The locals were all very friendly, as were their dogs!
The village has a pub, The Harbour Inn. From the first time we went in we were warmly welcomed, and ended up having a couple of good nights with the locals. Food was nice, drinks reasonable, and the people priceless.
This is the perfect site to get away from it all and relax. The whole place felt safe, and I didn't lock my car or the caravan while there. Garlieston isn't really a site for children, as there is very little to keep them entertained.
Mobile signal while there was almost non-existent on 3, but had enough for calls and texts on O2, and some data connection on Vodafone. The pub has free wifi which was pretty quick.
In a beautiful spot.,
If you're looking for a few days of peace and quiet in a lovely location then this site is for you.
There are some lovely walks on costal paths and lots to see just a short drive away.
The site is spotlessly clean and the wardens are lovely people. There are flowers everywhere when you arrive and the site looks warm and inviting.
We will visit again I'm sure.
Lovely relaxing stay
All credit to the wardens here, the site was absolutely spotless and the flowers were amazing. We stayed in the walled garden which perhaps isn't as popular as the sea front site but it was quiet and pleasant and fulfilled our needs perfectly. The village is pretty, the beach perfect for dog walks and we enjoyed exploring the area - we found plenty to do for five days. Pub in the village is handy, food is good and reasonably priced. Will definately stay here again, we felt to have had a relaxing break and went home refreshed.
