We are a small site 300 yards from the sea and within short walking distance to three sandy beaches. The site and its surrounds have some of the best views in south west Scotland. We welcome touring caravans and campers and those wishing to hire holiday homes.
Castle Point itself is the site of an ancient fort built on a headland at the estuary of the river Urr. The headland provides panoramic views across to the Lake District, the Isle of Man, Heston Island, Rough Island and up the estuary to Kippford.
Consistently rated 4 star by the Scottish Tourist board, electricity and hot water is included in the price.
Pets are allowed (but not in selected hire caravans). Our also include a lock up cycle shed and a drying cabinet for wet clothes and foot wear.
Caravan storage possible for touring customers.
There are lovely walks from the site - over the cliffs from Castle Point, along the Merse to Rockcliffe, along the Jubilee Path to the sailing village of Kippford (coffee or beer at the pub at the harbour), and up the Muckle Knowe and Mote of Mark (a 5th Century fort).
When the tide is out it is possible to walk from the site across to the bird sanctuary of Rough Island. Information on walks around the site and in Galloway.
From Dalbeattie take the A710 coastal road. After 5 miles turn right along the sign-posted road to Rockcliffe. At the brow of the hill just after entering Rockcliffe, turn left down to the end of Barcloy Road. Continue straight ahead up the private farm road until you arrive at the site.
