Closest thing I've ever found to a free campsite ! marvellous !

Sehr schöner Platz, man kann direkt vor dem Strand oder auf einer Wiese dahinter stehen. Es waren über 15 Camper da. Vor dem Strand war es daher enger. Ich stand auf der Wiese, sehr gerade und ohne direkten Nachbarn. Die Nacht war total ruhig, die angrenzende Straße habe ich nicht gehört. Allerdings fuhr Dienstag um 6 ein Müllwagen zum angrenzenden Campingplatz. Die Toiletten sind ausreichend.

Beautiful spot looking out into the bay. Great phone service in the area. Nice clean toilets

Perfect spot for a night or two. Everything you need, toilets (very creepy at night), drinking water and waste disposal. Lovely stoney beach for walks and Drummore only 10 minutes away with shop, cafe and public house.

Good for a night, especially if you’re self contained (the toilets are a bit manky), most pitches are level. No Three/SMARTY signal one back field but managed to do some work parking up along the beachfront area then moved back overnight. Very quiet and good nights sleep. Felt safe as solo female traveller.

Spent one night here after getting off the boat. Spectacular view on the beach once the rain stopped. Elson point and public toilets on sight.

great location and facilities for free

Absolutely perfect stopover, toilets were open all night, good night sleep's. Will be back!

Sehr schöner ruhiger ebener Platz direkt am Strand mit Toiletten und Ver-/Entsorgung. Grenzt an einen offiziellen Campingplatz, ist aber kostenfrei. Wir haben hier zwei angenehme ruhige Nächte verbracht.

Kostenlos parken. Total nah am Strand und die Straße hört man kaum. Perfekter Ort. Wir haben hier eine Nacht mit ca 7 womos gestanden. Bitte Ort sauber halten.

Lovely views. Nice and flat. Loo block with drinking water. Sign about no camping is just outside of loo block. More free camping in the upper terrace is more sheltered A few others camped there too. Caravan park just next door. Didn’t stay as heading down to lighthouse area.

Stayed here last week. There were no no overnight parking/camping signs at the entrance to or in the camping area behind the toilets. A council car drove round at 9.30am but didn't stop to talk to anyone. There were no signs either on the parking area at the foreshore. I think that the no overnighting sign at the front of the toilet block is just referring to the grassed area in front of it

Stayed here a few times over the years and it beautiful, no signs up so you can stay again.

Great place to stay, flat and quiet, elsan emptying, drinking water tap, toilets and bin.

Stayed here a week ago, no signage up. Enjoy.

great day stop. Despite council sign "no overnight" 6 vans overnighted - such a shame as next council will add height barriers. there is overnight parking on beach for £5 just a couple of miles away.

successful toilet drop and water fill on way to mull of Galoway. has toilets and a bin too. lovely beach and spot for the day

Scotland is closing down to free campers good times now gone..

April 9th 2023 . New Council Sign up. NO OVERNIGHT PARKING ALLOWED Picnic Area only .

Nice stay,toilets closed for winter,water and waste available. just a couple of people

Stay here! The ‘council land’ made us a little hesitant, but this is a wonderful spot. You can park right against the shore with a big pebble beach. Winter time toilet is closed as is the CAMC site next door. Elsan & fresh water available. Not far from road, but waves louder! Would be a good place for a nervous first time off grid jaunt.

Kostenloser Platz vor einem Campingplatz, jetzt im Oktober nur wenige Mobile vor Ort. Etwas uneben und die öffentlichen Toiletten für den Winter geschlossen. Trinkwasser gibt es aber noch.

Excellent facilities. Thanks Dumfries and Galloway council. Toilets now closed for winter but elsan and drinking water still available. Can be a bit exposed but more sheltered area up the back.

Love this spot, it’s free if your off grid and you can use fresh water fill up and toilet waste facilities. If you need electric hookup it’s £36 a night.

Super endroit un spot à garder surtout propre belle vue. Vidange cassette et on peut prendre de l eau. Poubelles. Bravo

Fabulous little parking area, it's right next to the beach and has public toilets stocked with loo roll and paper towels - they are always open. Dumfries & Galloway council own the land and maintain it. Please keep it tidy if you go as it would be a shame if they closed it.

Great little spot with direct access to the beach. Very quiet, peaceful and completely free! There is a small toilet block, fresh water facilities and a bin. We would stay here again if in the area.

Stunning spot. Clean toilets, water tap, pretty flat, large space for vans. Huge thanks to the council for providing this space

magnifique terrain très bien entretenu,pour se parké GRATUITEMENT a l'entrée,WC très propre avec vidange, point d'eau vidange cassette tout ça encore GRATUIT. pas grand chose à faire dans le coin à part le Phare au bout de la presqu'île a voir. endroit abrite du vent . vraiment PARFAIT.

Superb park up. Clean toilets with paper towels and soap. Had a peaceful stay. Great access to beach. Elsan point and fresh water point

Super schöner und ruhiger Platz mit direktem Blick aufs Wasser.

Lovely spot overlooking the beach. Basic facilities but what you expect for a free Aire. Definitely recommended.

It's a lovely spot! There is plenty of room. All as described previously. There is plenty of room to walk/exercise your dogs. Pebbled beech is also nice. Will return, if in the area again. it's that good!!

Now (October 2021) has a waste disposal point by the public toilet.

Great park up, clean toilets, water and chemical toilet disposal. Loads of space for motorhome.

Great free pitch which now has a chemical disposal point at the toilet block.

This was one of our favourite places to stay, lovely grassy area, bins picnic benches, and water tap, toilet block was closed which wasn't a problem for us, but free

Good little park up on council land just before the holiday park,great sea views from the van,road quite busy during the day to the park. toilet block closed unfortunately..

Arrived very late, area busy but still plenty of room. Wonderful views, 4G, toilet block open.

Absolutely fantastic toilets,and bins all clean and lovely bay views

I was there end of June. Great location. no litter, let's keep it this way. The toilet block was closed, possibly owing to Covid restrictions.

What a nice place. Thank you to the council the money I would of paid for a site can now be spent in the local community.

Got to be one of the best park ups I've stayed at. Lovely grass pitches, nice and level, plenty of space for load of vans. Toilets, fresh water and overlooking a lovely beach. What more could you ask for and its all free. Thanks Dumfries and Galloway Council. Let's keep this area spotless so as not to get closed down!!!

Excellent, toilet block no longer in use water still available.

Very well kept location with beautiful views. Room for plenty of Motorhomes but don’t leave it too late to arrive as it fills up quick now that there are more locations which now no longer allow overnight parking.

Didn't stay here as was at campsite next door but can confirm this would be an excellent spot to spend the night. Park with direct access to beach or make use of large grassy space a little further back. Space for many campers. When we next come this way we will be stopping here! Bins mustn't get emptied often so take your rubbish home to avoid overflowing Public loos on site but didn't look in.

Stayed here Sunday 20/9/20. Listed when I got home as it wasn’t on the app. The woman from the site next door told me it was free as they were full. As the day went on others confirmed this to be the case. Loved my stay here. Had good signal on EE. Council owned land next door to Caravan & Motorhome site. Public toilet block, water. Wheelie bin (was overflowing though) Direct access to sand and pebble beach. Depending on how people park easily accommodate 10 motorhomes/vans next to beach. Further area more secluded behind toilet block that looks more like a campsite (minus amenities) but loads of space and apparently council are happy for people to park as long as it’s kept clean &tidy. Beautiful views, fairly level with minor tilt in some bits. 5 star rating from me. Excellent spot and free! :-)
