Well located site in a welcoming village

A great location - we stayed on the harbour side and enjoyed the views. The walk from the site around the coastline to Galloway House Gardens was a highlight and we loved our cycle ride to the Isle of Whithorn too. Even managed a paddle in the bay while the tide was in. The Harbour Inn is perfectly located for drinks and food and the locals we met were very friendly. The village has an interesting history and we will definitely stop here again next time we visit this part of Scotland. Facilities-wise, the showers are old and slope the wrong way so it gets very messy with water running out into the corridor if you have your shower turned on full.

Great place to stay!

Stayed here recently, had a good relaxing holiday. Lots of lovely walks from the site. Ann and Martin the two wardens we met couldn't have made us more welcome. The facilities are spotlessly clean, if a tad dated. The Harbour Inn nearby is great for a meal and a drink. Further afield Port Patrick is lovely well worth a visit, try Connors restaurant for a great meal. Will hopefully be back soon to chill, thanks to Ann and Martin you do a fantastic job 😁

Quiet and Relaxing Site

Stayed for 2 nights in July and blessed with good weather. A very friendly and well run site in a beautiful and peaceful part of SW Scotland with some wonderful walks and cycling available. More suited for adults.

Excellent friendly site, nothing is too much trouble

Stayed 3 nights here 2nd to 5th August. Site is spotlessly clean with good modern showers and toilets. Ann and Brian are so helpful. On our last night I lost my wallet, Ann tracked it down to the pub and arranged for it to be posted back to me, I got it 2 days later, service above and beyond. Peaceful site, nearest shop is the filling station 10 mins walk away. The Harbour Inn does lovely meals. We will definitely stay here again.

Unusual split site

Stayed here for 5 days. Unusual site as its split between pitches overlooking harbour and across the road in a walled area. On arrival at site after a long journey feeling a bit stressed was met by warden who said he wanted to give us a flavour of the site and kept going on about possible flooding once a month and rather unnerved us. Joking that if we see him packing us it's time to evacuate. We got quite concerned as we go out out for long periods on the bikes. He finally assured us that high water wasn't expected during our stay, but after this conversation it took the shine of the site. Reception sells nothing, the nearest shop is quite a walk and not sure whether there is a pavement, not good for motorhomers for milk or ice cream. After seeing a chap washing his bar b que in the laundry, with the door being open hadn't seen the laundry sign told me he didn't realise the sinks were just for laundry as there were no signs. Mentioned to warden that a sign might be useful he said he wasn't allowed to put up individual sites. There seems to be a lot of new campers who don't know the routine and signs would be helpful across the network. Seen this at other sites this year.

Weekend break

We are lucky enough to only live an hour away from the site. This is our third visit in past nine months. We booked via late availability page again which we find brilliant. The site is truly brilliant. Location is great for walks both way along the coast. A tip for the walk at the opposite end of the village to the site would be to cut the corner off across the bay if tides allow. The first part of the walk from the road is a bit overgrown. But if you cut across the beach and rejoin the walk you miss that bit out. Facilities at site are alway clean and never too busy. Used the chip van on Friday night and it was very enjoyable. It was very busy however so be prepared to wait. It is worth it. Didn’t use pub this time but have in the past and food and drink is very good. Another lovely visit and looking forward to returning soon I hope.

One of the better sites we have stayed at ......................

Booked here for 2 days 9th July and were fortunate to secure a cancellation and stayed 4 days. One of the best kept sites we have stayed on, information room is so helpful and informative, facilities spotless and grounds clean and well kept. Garlieston itself was a new area for us, but we were so impressed with the surrounding coastal walks in both directions from the site. Galloway House and gardens are a treat to walk through, such amazing trees and plants, a different path to take every time we visited! The Harbour Inn did not disappoint with its cute beer garden, lovely meals and very friendly and polite staff. It is a very friendly village and we were interested to chat to the locals and loved hearing the history and stories of this lovely harbour village. We were so impressed with Garlieston and the surrounding areas that we have booked again for 2 weeks in October! The wardens Ann and Martin run a very tight ship and the site is a credit to them, including the beautiful flowers at the welcoming entrance!

Favourite place

Garlieston is a lovely little village to visit. It’s peaceful and relaxing and friendly. The caravan site is well maintained to a high standard by the wardens. Beautiful flowers by the entrance and toilet block cleaned to a very high standard. The wardens did in between cleaning on facilities to keep us safe from COVID. Was allocated a pitch on arrival which was fine. But listening to barking dogs every day and loud wireless playing was not a peaceful holiday. Went off site to get peace by sitting on a bench round by harbour. Relief wardens arrived but not the same safety cleanings being done so avoided toilet block. Caravaners where not allocated a pitch they where walked round by warden and shown all the pitches available to see what one they wanted. One caravan even had a compass for east facing. So warden spent a considerable time in getting him settled into a pitch. This was totally unbelievable in what I was seeing. Instead of showing caravaners round and no face mask. The wardens energy could of went into doing something constructive on site. Beautiful site well done to wardens.

Excellent site

This is an idyllic site. Great if you want to get away from it all! Quiet location. Very picturesque. Cycling on quiet local roads. If you’re a motorhomer stock up on provisions before you arrive as only has a tiny garage shop with limited stock. Pub in village. Walled garden side of site is quieter, but harbourside has the views.
