Lochside Caravan Park

The gentle lap of loch water against the shore creates a soothing soundtrack at this aptly named Dumfries and Galloway retreat, where Scotland's southwest beauty unfolds across tranquil waters and rolling hills. This is a no-frills base for those seeking straightforward Scottish camping without the bells and whistles.

Perfect for self-sufficient campers, tourers and tent-dwellers who prioritise location over luxury, Lochside makes an excellent stopover for exploring Dumfries and Galloway's forests, coastline and historic market towns. The region's gentle landscapes offer a softer introduction to Scottish scenery than the dramatic Highlands, with excellent cycling routes and birdwatching opportunities within easy reach.

With essential toilet and shower facilities serving pitches for tents, caravans and campervans, the park keeps things refreshingly simple. Open throughout the year, it welcomes hardy winter campers as well as fair-weather visitors. Check about campfire policies when you arrive. The vibe is unpretentious and peacefully low-key—just you, your pitch, and that calming lochside setting.
