On tour

Visited site for one night while touring Scotland, September 21 Pictures on caravan club site show well maintained shoreline with brilliant views When we arrived quite a few sea view hook ups were taped off and not working , we hooked up further down shoreline beach front, but had no views due to all bushes being overgrown in front of us , don't know why these were not trimmed and , we booked the site on route purely for the reason of relaxing and enjoying the views , surely this is their greatest selling point and they are not maintaining the best parts of the site for the sea view experience P and A ON TOUR

Just What I Needed

This was one of the main sites that I had booked for my tour of south west Scotland. 5 nights here and could have stayed for another 5. Fortunately I had a pitch along the front at the far end, having driven round the site 3 times and not found anything suitable. Staff were friendly as you would expect and there were plenty of water points for my needs. It was nice to have a small shop as there is not really another shop for a few miles. Good that they took card and cash, unlike another club!!! The toilet block nearest me seemed to be small and wasn't sure if the number of showers/toilets would cope, but there was never any queue when I needed to use, so maybe they had that right. Altogether a lovely quiet site, with direct access to the beach and plenty of walks/cycle rides to fill yer boots.

Secluded and peaceful stay

A lovely well-maintained club site with helpful and welcoming site staff. There is a wide selection of pitches either sea-facing or in a more secluded spot. The location of the site is very remote and isolated which may suit some more than others.

Positive first visit

This is our first time visiting the site and we were very pleased with how it compared to the description online. Looking at other reviews, we had no issues with the staff or facilities which were up to the standard that we expect on CAMC sites. Access to the beach was easy and the area is great for cycling due to the relatively remote location - quiet roads. The site was pretty busy, when we were looking round, some of the free pitches were quite sloped and the ground is rocky so good pegs are required if you've got an awning. We managed to find a pitch that had a view east and watching the sunrise was great. We've not had an issue with our electric and have been here 5 days. We will definitely becoming again (despite the 340 mile trip to get here for us) and would love to come in the winter if it was open all year.

Always glad to return

First visited NEB over 30 years ago and have been going back at least once most of these years. The site speaks for itself if you want a rural, coastal site with space, big pitches, peace and quiet, topped up with endless coastal walks, varied birdlife, cycling and visiting the highlights of The Rhins. The key attraction has to be Logan Gardens. What a lovely place - one of the best gardens in the UK. The Wardens, ( there have quite a few over the years ), have always been friendly, hard working and without fail welcoming and helpful. The current team are no exception coping really well with the complexities of Covid, yet maintaining high standards of cleanliness across the site. Certainly Covid has caused it to be busier than usual, from unlocking in April to our second visit once the schools returned. As a result there has been noticeably less choice of pitches on a site which has always carried a high % of seasonals. If you are looking for an isolated site NEB could be for you.

A sea view stay.

This site was very busy yet so so quiet, it has lovely large pitches with plenty of room between each van. Lovey clean tidy site with dog walks along the coast , plus at the top of the site a large field you could take you dog into for a run about. My only disappointment was that the beach looked really sandy on the photo but was actually really rocky and stoney, not good for walking on for people or dogs. Whilst we were there we visited Port Logan lighthouse which had great views over to The Isle Of Man and Glenwhan Gardens and Tea rooms which were amazing, well worth a visit. This is a lovely peaceful site and would certainly recommend it.

Wonderful Site

Just returned from a 4 day site at one of the best CMH sites we have stayed on. Not the conventional lay out which is all to the good as the pitched have been moulded into fit the contours and layout of the gorse bushes. I would imagine it gets very windy on this site but we had only a slight breeze and the sea was almost like a pond. The dog loved it and had miles of empty sand and a gently slope off into the sea to swim in. I would be perfectly happy for younger children to swim here as sea remained very shallow for quite a distance. A bit of a drive off the main roads but well worth it for the peace and quiet. On a visit to the nearby Mull of Galloway we saw deer, seals and dolphins. A site I will certainly visit again. Must also say this is the best site I have been on for the conduct of other users. Toilets and showers were always spotless - very unusual when most piches are grass and people adhered to speed limits which made our stay all the better. Thanks to all

Exactly as described

Visited mid August for 2 days - exactly as described - right on the beach and amongst the gorse and dunes. A large site but so spacious and plenty of room between units that it does not feel large at all. Most of the pitches are grass, some need small ramps but easy to pitch level. The peace and tranquility were a delight. There is absolutely nothing in the local vicinity, which suited us fine, but be prepared with supplies and good reading material. Plenty of walks along the beach - the dog absolutely had the time of his life! Good motorhome facilities provided - and a boat wash too! Shower/toilet block is a little dated and plastic stools in the showers but lots of hot water and perfectly adequate. Very friendly welcome upon arrival, including direction to where free pitches were, which was really helpful. We did not realise that the Scottish School Holidays differ from the UK, so the children were back at school, meaning we were blessed with very few children/virtually no noise. Would definitely recommend for a night or two stop-over.

Amazing location and great places to visit

We loved the beautiful location of this site and thankfully didn't experience the electrical outages. The area is great for cycling and we particularly enjoyed visiting the Mull of Galloway and Logan Botanical Gardens. It was very windy during our stay but we saw a seal feeding in the shallow waters and gannets diving for fish along the beach. The facilities were fine for us apart from the motorhome service point, which is terrible - it has a small square drain in the middle of the space and many vehicles had to park in the middle of the road to drain their tanks due to the location of the grid. For us - our van drains in the middle underneath - it was very difficult to ensure our drain was located over the grid in both directions. This site desperately needs one of the newer full width grids that are gradually being fitted to other sites.

Beautiful Coastal Site

Beautiful location in such a peaceful part of the UK; stayed for 2 weeks in August. If you’re looking for a commercialised and regimented caravan site with the usual rows of gravel hard standings, you won’t find that here. Large, sprawling site in a rural location, but with plenty of nooks and crannies to find a nice quiet pitch. We had a huge pitch with plenty of space, backing onto the dunes and completely peaceful. Games room is closed and play park is limited equipment-wise but this is an idyllic site site for children; safe to ride bikes, play out on the dunes and the beach and make those childhood memories that camping is all about. Our children loved it and made great holiday friends. The wardens were courteous, busy and very helpful. We needed to have a parcel delivered and they were great in being available to take delivery for us. The reception closes at 10:15 and then reopens at 13:00, for the whole afternoon. Includes a well stocked little shop, including local Galloway ice cream tubs. We didn’t use the facilities block and stuck to onboard amenities during our stay. Perfect dog walks direct from site on to open fields and coastal paths. There are a lot of people with dogs, given the location. We didn’t experience dog fouling anywhere on the site itself. Book it. It’s a hidden gem in the corner of the UK 🇬🇧.
