(DG1 4RU) Caerlaverock Castle Corner Camp Site

Visited here 8x times now, since 2021. A great stopover, which we use for journeys north and south on return. Can be busy but never had a problem just turning up. Excellent value for the cost. Great walks to the reserve and castle, all direct from the site. The area is stone surfaced, picnic benches a great addition. Always feels a safe and secure site. Note there are no on site litter bins.

Lovely little site, near quiet road but quiet and secluded . Level pitches, and a few picnic benches available to use. Unfortunately, it was very wet when we were there so didn’t take advantage of any of the walks, but had visited castle on a previous visit. Highly recommend!

Schöner, ruhiger Platz. Gute Wandermöglichkeiten im Landschaftsschutzgebiet. Kurzer Weg zur Schloßruine. Erfreulich, dass es Trinkwasser und Toilettenentsorgung gibt.

toller kleiner Parkplatz mit der Möglichkeit, Wasser aufzunehmen und die Toilette zu Lasten. Ausflüge in das Reservat und zur Schlossruine möglich, super gelegen und es gibt Picknicktische. es waren einige andere Camper mit uns da, die Nacht war sehr ruhig, einzig bei Regen/ wind können Eicheln von den Bäumen auf die Autos fallen, wenn man das nicht möchte, besser nicht unter den Bäumen parken.

This is a fantastic place to stay, water tap and elsan, but no bins so take your rubbish away with you, honesty box with envelope supplied, or pay on line, great walks to the castle through the woods.

New signpost giving new parking limits 5 at Glencaple quay & 5 at Castle corner aire has 3 actual bays with picnic tables & 2 additional spaces. Now can also pay by PayPal, all QR codes are on the large signpost. Lovely gem of a spot to park at overnight & walks to the old & new castle. Please dont let your dogs roam unattended. Not all welcome a loose dog running up to them.

very quiet lovely place to stay will most definitely stay again, left donation as it's asks for the water and toilet waist. there is no shower or toilets but well worth the stay, as there is a very nice castle just a walk away, it's the only triangular castle in Britain so a bit of history, across the road there is a field with highland cows to look at. very clean and very level.

Area camper in mezzo al verde, silenziosa ed ombreggiata,con scarico,carico grigie e nere.Acqua disponibile.Pagamento ad offerta libera in busta con contanti o tramite carta online.Passeggiate e castello nelle vicinanze.

grand espace propre

Lovely place, no toilets, but has a black waste empty point, a drinking water tap. Excellent 4G signal and occasional 5G (On Vodafone) was able to run my laptop from it & complete some work surrounded by nature! Highland cows visible in the field nearby, sounds of birds and wild geese! lovely walk in the forest & next to estuary, would definitely recommend it!

Ein schöner Platz, sauber ordentlich, Toilettenentsorgung und Frischwasser. Wunderbarer Waldweg zum spazieren und bis zur Burg sind es 20 Minuten.

Great place for a night or two , waist water , drinking water … great bays with picnic table , and it’s spacious between vans ! Great walks & a bird hide … donation box well worth it we donated £10 .

Total ruhig, 25 Minuten durch den schönen Wald zum sehenswerten Castle. Leider kein Grauwasser und keine Müllentsorgung, aber „so what“ bei Stehen gegen Spende. Bitte seid ehrlich und benehmt euch, damit die Gemeinde uns das weiterhin möglich macht. Nicht so wie die lauten Schotten neben uns mit offenem Feuer und Dieselgenerator (!). Zum Glück eine Ausnahme. ..

fresh water and black waste dump. ample parking for approx 8 mh. flat, easy entry. quiet. nice walk along through the woods to the castle. donation to local council PayPal or cash. a great facility

Guter Platz für eine Nacht,schöner Spaziergang von da aus zum Schloss .Leider hatte es sehr viel geregnet ,daher konnten wir den Abend nur im Camper verbringen.

Great site, quiet and a short walk to the only triangular shaped castle in the UK.

What a great place to stop. Level site, waste dump, & fresh water. £10 deposit inbox, please don't spoil this one

What a brilliant community resource. Great walking and nature. Water and Elsan available- take your rubbish home as a sign asks you to not use the car park bins. Just pop a donation in the box before you leave to ensure the site remains.

Ruhig, nur die Bäume rauschen bei starkem Wind, dass man glaubt es sind die Wellen. Schöner Spaziergang ( 20 Minuten) zur Burgruine. Alles da was man braucht. Gut gemacht! Da spendet man gerne und freut sich über den schönen Platz. Neu geschottert, keine Schlaglöcher mehr. Man steht trocken. 8 Wohnmobile Anfang Juni.

sehr ruhig.sind gerade von England nach Gretna gefahren und diesen schönen Platz gefunden.im NP.sind fast alleine.

This is a perfect park-up. We stayed 1 night 14/5/25. There were 9 vans & someone sleeping in their car. It's a lovely walk to the castle. Water, Elsan point on site. Bins available at the car park next door. Donations via honesty box or online by card or PayPal. We had a very peaceful night and would definitely stay again, we loved it here.

Fantastic spot. pretty busy at the start of May, I think there were 14 or 15 vans and motorhomes! Lovely walk through the wood up to carlaevrock castle

Great little spot for an overnight stay. Quiet with nice walks in the forest and overlooking the bay. Toilet emptying point and fresh water available. Donation based so up to you what you donate.

this is a great little stop over. the pot holes in the car park have now been filled in with gravel. nice walk to the castle. great

Perfect what a gem so quiet and the castle is fantastic thank you

endroit calme juste le chant des oiseaux, aucun passage de voiture la nuit, a 20min a pied du château , stationnements plats , tables de pique nique , il y a un endroit pour vider les eaux noires mais pas les eaux grises , dommage ! et on peu remplir en eaux , un don est proposé nécessaire pour pouvoir garder le site opérationnel

A lovely, quiet spot to rest and stay. I stayed one night, 1st March 2025. Nice to chat with others before I left who'd been coming a few times. Almost zero signal on my EE, but a short walk to the public car park brought a signal back.

Excellent stop over by the road. Nice, level, and sheltered. Smallish, but can see it getting busy in season. Payment by donation in postbox. Lots of walks to the nearby castle, and bird boxes. Slightly muddy. Unlit but felt safe. Good dark sky.

Ideal for a castle visit or a sheltered spot on a stormy night. Payment by donation. Ground a bit rough and muddy but still a good provision with facilities if you need them whether staying or not

Super little park up, fairly level with good size pitches. Brill to have services on site. Great place to take the dogs for lovely walks.

Stayed for 1 night in our motorhome. Had a good nights sleep. Fantastic walk to the nature reserve and TWO castles. You get to see the ruins of the original castle on the way to the main castle. Each bay had a bench table. Water was a good speed to fill up. Signal on O2 and 3 not the best, but still worked. There was a camper van here too that had stayed 2 nights and they use the place regularly and were very happy with it. Payment by donation if you’re happy. Would highly recommend

Super Platz, mit einzelnen Bereichen mit Tischen und Bänken.nachs totale Ruhe ,kein Verkehr. V E .Dank an die Gemeinde.wo findet man sowas heut noch .

A quiet stay over. If visiting the castle, park up here first and take the half mile stroll through the reserve. parking is easier than at the castle itself.

great location ideal for walking to the castle stayed 2 nights very peaceful, not much traffic noise. elsan point and freshwater. please donate to keep this open.

Great little donation funded community run spot. Handy to walk the nature trails, old Castle & hide for birdwatchers. Morrisons & Tesco 7m approx. Note the estuary is tidal, rapidly so & quicksand. Do not venture off the paths. Deer also appear on the banks. picnic benches by the parking bays, first come first served for overnight. Fresh water & Elsan disposal. No bins, take it home.

Absolutely incredible. Fresh drinking water and private spots with picnic table. Very quiet. Highly recommend!

Stayed here on the first night of our trip so didn’t need to use the facilities. Was quite busy but not uncomfortable. Very quiet overnight and some spots had picnic benches. The nearby walks and castle were also a bonus with toilets there and friendly staff

No bins provided, nowhere to empty grey water (meaning people just dump it all over the place) and using the services can be horrible as the surrounding ground gets so muddy and wet. Also gets extremely busy.

For £10 a night with waste and water this one is a little gem. Can see why it gets busy at peak times, we stayed mid week and just 4 vans. Lovely walk along the salt marsh and to Caerlaverlock Castle.

Super spot, dans la nature, à 1,5 km par la route, du château, 10£ la nuit, tout service sauf edf, et 10£ pour la visite, attention à ne pas s’embourber s’il a plu.

Stayed Thursday 15th Aug. Busy, we were number 7 but there were 12 there overnight. Quiet though and one we come back to as a good first stop in southwest Scotland. £10 donation

tooooooo busy. 12 campers by 6pm and 12 more came and went. would be perfect if it had a bin and less people.

brilliant little secluded spot for parking for the night. perfect rest up. picnic tables . all services for nominal donation . great idea helping locals

posto perfetto per una notte. Zona molto tranquilla. è possibile svuotare il WC e caricare le acque chiare. Non ho trovato il punto per svuotare le grige. Vicino ai servizi è prevista la cassetta per fare una donazione.

Endroit très bien près du château

Très bien pour une nuit. A côté de l’océan, avec eau potable / tables, mais pas de toilettes. « Free of charge » avec donation suggérée.

This is a great site to stay at, 3 bays with picnic tables beside them but plenty of other space as well. it is not next to the castle though, but about 5 mins further on at what is called Castle Corner. it is next to the car park for the nature reserve. Look for the sign which is just past the entrance.

I arrived early evening, there were 6 other campers at site, it is a gravel area and it did get muddy due to rain however a lovely spot surrounded by nature, fresh drinking water tap and waste disposal on site, no bins, being a lone female i felt safe and I wasn't bothered by other campers

Toller Platz, wir waren hier 1 Nacht auf dem Weg zur Fähre. Möglichkeit für Frischwasser und Toilettenentleerung und noch ein tolles Schloss 20 min zu Fuß entfernt! Kein WC oder Dusche aber trotzdem Daumen hoch!

Super endroit pour passer la nuit, très calme, vidange et eau, 10£ en don

Really good bit to stop for the night. Was busy when arrived and got busier during the day. Defienlty get here early if u want a nice spot. Overall very peaceful and can’t really hear the road. Don’t get signal on three but o2 was much better.

A beautiful little spot off the beaten track, had the most peaceful night here and grabbed a couple of bottles of drinking water. It was mostly full when we arrived at 6.30pm on a Friday night. Only downside is no signal on Three (either on mobile or via SMARTY WiFi) so either bring reading material or download content before arriving, and know which way you’re heading out when you leave.

Sehr schöner Platz. Frischwasser und Toiletten entsorgung möglich. Jedoch keine Grauwasser oder Müllentsorgung. Aber top und ein altes Schloss ist fußläufig erreichbar

What a great location , perfect spot , chemical disposal and fresh water . Short walk to caerlaverock castle and a great walks around the nature reserve , will definitely return to this one .

This is absolutely perfect in the middle of amazing countryside so glad the funds go to the local community it’s now the 12 th of June and the midges are just causing a bit of bother so can’t have the door open the castle 1/2 mile away is stunning even though some of it has fallen down short walk up the road and you can see skiddaw over in the Lake District

Stopped here 29/05/2024, absolutely brilliant little spot with the elsan disposal point and fresh water tap, entire area is nice and flat it seemed, and there is a few bays that you can park in (if you get there early) with picnic tables as well, really nice walks right off the park up that take you along the coastal salt marsh, if you use this make a donation so it stays open and encourages more.

Great place to stop over !! Had some signal. Really handy to be part serviced. Was busy but still quiet and peaceful! Will definitely be returning here !!

Great stopover, quiet overnight and near to castle. Thanks to the community for providing this, please everyone keep paying via the honesty box or QR code. Toilet waste disposal and water top up a bonus.

We stopped overnight at one of the many lay-bys along shore road and then dropped in here in the morning to walk the dog up to the castle and get some drinking water. Lovely to see local communities providing this kind of ‘aire’. Pinged them £5 for their generosity via paypal.

Good spot! a few other campers there, no noise from the road, hookup & grey water disposal available.

Amazing place. Gets quite busy but so peaceful and definitely worth going up to the castle!

just perfect for me and the dog. we need more places like this in uk. Drinking water, toilet and grey waste disposal, and a 2 night stay if you want for a donation of just £10. Well done to this community for sharing this beautiful place.

Called in here on our way to Dumfries to check it out. Would like to give it 5 stars but it was very muddy and waterlogged due to the recent storms. However, great location and would imagine it's perfect during better weather. The availablity of fresh water and waste disposal is a big plus.

Das ist ein wunderschöner Platz mit einem ganz tollen Wald, auch das Castle ist super.

Level parking. Arrived late afternoon and there were 5 campers already there. Lovely spot, right next to the NNR and walking trails it had rained recently so the area was muddy. £10 donation. Lovely spot, would recommend.

Great little park spent 2 nights and enjoyed the great walks and nature . 3 Nice laid out spots with benches but the rest is just ruff parking and can get water logged had about 10 vehicles the night we parked. Nice and quiet sleep. PREVIOUS comment is wrong this is from there website (Castle Corner offers litter disposal, drinking water tap, grey waste disposal, and chemical waste) disposal.

NO CHEMICAL TOILET DISPOSAL, despite what some people have posted. Grey water can be disposed of via container, not through drain on ground. Busy and muddy when it rains, but otherwise nice little stopover.

Schöner, ruhiger Stellplatz mitten in der Natur am Waldrand gelegen mit Ver- und Entsorgung und 3 Picknicktischen.

It was quite busy and no toilet but it was quite quiet and nice

schöner, ruhiger Platz mit Service. Spaziergang zum Castle möglich. Dreckiger Untergrund. Hoffentlich werden die freiwlligen Zshlungen such gemacht

Parfait! Peut accueillir une dizaine de vans de beaux arbres, des tables de pic nic et à l’abri du vent. Pas de midges ce soir là ! Une jolie promenade à faire sur un chemin vue sur mer

Schöner und einfacher Platz, ruhig gelegen. Es stehen zwei Picknicktische zur Verfügung.

The mud in the parking hides a good flat hard surface, apart from just at the entrance. The honesty box suggests £10 for a max of 2 nights, and most people do pay. People also make a donation just to fill and empty, then leave. Rightly popular.

Lloc ideal per dormir, ens vam sentir súper segurs. Hi ha aigua per omplir, i buidatge de poti. Des d'ací surten 3 rutes a peu, una per visitar el castell, altre pels aiguamolls, i altre per la reserva. Hi ha una caixa de solidaritat de 10£, però malauradament, la gent és poc solidària. Nosaltres vam estar 10 campers/autocaravanes i la gent no deixava res. Si fos el propietari ho privatitzava.

Bei Regen steht der Platz weit unter Wasser, der Boden ist aber fest. Trotzdem schöner Platz, Frischwasser, Entsorgung. Immer wieder

Toller Platz im Wald, mit Frischwasser und Schwarzwasser Entleerung. Spende in die Ehrlichkeitsbox.

fajny parking,spokojna noc, service campera,polecam

Waren am 30.6. für eine Nacht hier. Bei Regen machen die Pfützen die Hälfte des Platzes aus, aber der Untergrund ist fest. Toll, dass solche Plätze mit Ver- und Entsorgung angeboten werden. Da wird die Spende in die Box gerne gegeben. Mit fast 10 Fahrzeugen war es gut voll.

Peaceful two nights. About 6 others overnight. Great value at £5/night. very muddy puddles though!

Prima plek, heel rustige nacht. Tegen vergoeding (aanbevolen £10) in honesty box. Ondergrond is goed hard, nu veel plassen, maar wees niet bang om vast te komen zitten. Erg mooi uitgangspunt voor wandelingen. Drinkwater en lozen toilet aanwezig. Geen grijs water afvoer. Vannacht stonden hier 10 (kleinere) campers, dat ging prima.

Excellent, French type Aire. Water and CDP. Some shade. Please donate to keep this site going. Stayed in June and a couple of years ago. Walks from site. Thank you very much.

een fijne rustige plek. Een donatie wordt op prijs gesteld

Fantastic place was more than happy to donate for the up keep of a beautiful stop new fruit trees in place,bird feeders which we were happy to put food on, with a variety of birds feeding we just kept feeding them wonderful walks will definitely come back

Great place to stop toilet/ grey disposal fresh water stayed last night been walking around here for 6 hours so staying tonight as well honesty box will come back on are way home

Ruhig gelegen mit tollem Fussweg zur Burgruine. Der Parkplatz ist kostenlos, wer möchte kann eine kleine Spende zum erhalt des ganzen einwerfen. Absolut fair.

Très bel emplacement. Très calme et une jolie promenade jusqu'au château, hélas fermé pour maintenance. La vidange des eaux grises ne peut se faire qu'avec un seau ou une pompe car surélevée. Pensez à laisser quelque chose dans la boîte prévue pour que l'association locale ou par internet sur leur site continue à proposer ce lieu.

Comfortable, quiet and spacious site. Potable water tap. Grey water disposal. Nature reserve path to castle avoiding walking on road. Good for seven campervans. Honesty box with suggested price of 10 pounds. Castle is closed for long term maintenance. Cafe and wee museum still open. A little bit muddy in wet weather.

Ein toller Stellplatz. Alles vorhanden, was wichtig wäre. Abwasser und Frischwasser. Einen Mülleimer habe ich nicht gesehen, ist mit aber wichtig, ich nehme meinen Müll immer mit. Sehr ruhig am Waldrand gelegen, wir kämen gerne wieder hierher, wen es uns nach Schottland verschlagen würde. Wir haben in die abgeschlossene Kasse ne Spende hinterlegt. Danke für den Platz

belle aire calme mise à disposition des campingcaristes, vidange des toilettes et eau , dans un environnement boisé, nous avons passé une très bonne nuit, merci à la communauté

Great location for having a nice walk with great views. About 5 vans overnight when we stayed. Drinking water and waste disposal available. Very quiet. Only downsides, it was very muddy and there were no bins available. Would stay again.

Stayed for one night on the 2nd February. Three bays provided with picnic benches, but also room to tuck in. Left a donation of £5 via the website. Lovely idea by the local community to provide this service. Nice walk along the dunes

I only used this to fill up water. Still open too but quite muddy. Hard ground though so you won’t get stuck, just dirty! I donated via the website. There were two other vans there.

spent the night here with another two vans and one car. it was very windy but the trees kept us sheltered, bit noisy though. Black and grey water facility. make sure you put something in the honest box. there are 2 boxes, I put my money in the white box as it had a bigger lock.

Super emplacement, au calme, boisé. Le sol est en gravier, quelques flaques de boues, mais juste sur les cotés, rien de gênant. Présence de tables de pique-nique en bois (x3), ce sont les meilleurs emplacements. Nous étions 7 camping-car cette nuit, et loins d’être serrés. Point d’eau et une fosse pour les WC, mais pas d’évacuation des eaux grises (saut si vous avez un tuyau). Nous reviendrons.

Mittegroßer Platz für Max 10 Fahrzeuge. Wasser und Abfluss, privater Besitzer - Auf Spendenbasis. Angrenzend Wetlands mit Kühen und Vögelbeobachtungsorten. Zu empfehlen

Posto meraviglioso, tranquillo e ben riparato. Carico e scarico acque. No elettricità. Castello nelle vicinanze e passeggiate nel bosco. Pagamento mediante cassetta dell’onestà.

Posto molto carino, andate a visitare il castello, merita! Il parcheggio è nel verde, vicino al mare (non c’è spiaggia e non è balneabile), servizi di carico acqua e scarico nere molto comode. Si paga online o mettendo 10 sterline in una cassetta.

Ein sehr schöner, aber auch sehr frequentierter Ort. Wir haben einen der letzten Plätze bekommen. Es kommen noch einige Autos. Ist aber super um von folkestone nach Schottland oder zurück zu kommen

Great place. Fresh water tap, grey and black water waste drain. Next to a quiet road. Hidden within trees. Fairly short walk to the castle. Depending on how busy it is a bit crowded. Can be wet and muddy.

Petit sentier menant au château . Possibilité de remplir l’eau et de vider la cassette et il y a une poubelle sur le parking à côté . Il y a une donation box .

Brilliant little stopping point for a night. Lovely walk to the castle.

Sind nicht über Nacht geblieben, wären wir aber gerne. Entsorgung von Grauwasser ist etwas umständlich geregelt da unter dem Wasserhahn auf dem kleinen Hügel. Schwarzwasser Entsorgung und Frischwasser theoretisch kostenlos gegen Spende. Trinkwasser ist etwas stärker gechlort vom Gefühl her aber für duschen und kochen super. Werden auf einer nächsten Tour definitiv wieder kommen.

Wow water tap, toilet emptying, nice and quiet. Donations box. What more could you want.

Schöner kleiner Stellplatz im Grünen und, obwohl nah an der Strasse gelegen, sehr ruhig. Platz für max. 7 Vans. Frischwasser und Entleerung der WC-Kassetten, jeweils mit eigenen Wasserhähnen. Grauwasser kann nur per Eimer oder Schlauch entleert werden. Der Platz ist eben, so dass keine Keile notwendig sind. Schöne Wanderwege zum Castle am Marschland entlang. 10 £ Spende sind es wert!

Stayed here for a night, was a little busy with a big group of vans arriving but everyone was really pleasant and we had plenty of space for our van. Was nice and quiet for the night. Easy to make a donation.

Arrived,stunning,peaceful.then hordes of vans arrived,moving benches and parking within inches of our van.clearly no respect for personal space (or much else) Filled our water, donated via PayPal and left. will return when jubilee/holidays are over and HOPEFULLY get to enjoy it and change my review! I've suggested they introduce a 6 or 7 maximum parking spaces! use your heads people!

A lovely secluded wooded site, stayed 1 night really peaceful. Nice walks to the castle and salt marshes, plenty of wildlife to see. As mentioned by everyone else donations keep the site going so please do. Can donate online via PayPal or bank transfer if you are worried about leaving cash in the honesty box. Would definitely return

this is a beautiful spot nice walk and safe will return definitely was lovely listening to the birds singing away has bird tables

Stayed here 2 nights on our way back to N’Ireland, early April 2022, pretty busy, great site, nice and level. Nice walk through the woods to the castle but quicker if you use the road, turn right on leaving the site and you’ll see the castle from the road over the fields to the right, we came back this way but be careful as there is a sharp bend and a hilly blind spot on parts of the road.

Just arrived to a sign saying the site is closed for the winter period and will reopen on the 1st March!

Cette aire de stationnement et de services a le mérite d'exister et permet de découvrir le très beau château de Caerlaverock après une promenade entre forêt et estuaire. J'ai retiré de la description du lieu la vidange des eaux usées car elle est inutilisable en pratique. C'est juste un écoulement au pied du robinet d'eau potable, situé en haut d'un petit talus. Terrain très boueux.

Very good overnight stop, quiet, walks, water and CDP. Donations please to keep this site for others.

Lovely little place. All we need for a quiet night.

Perfect place to stop for the night. Services (apart from bins) all available. Was really busy when we stayed (15 campers) but had a good nights sleep. Fab walk into the nature reserve and to the castle.

Excellent spot in the woods can get 10 plus campers on and with views of the estuary. easy walk to the castle through the woods. following the satnav took me to Castle. don't turn into the Castle stay on the B725 and the parking is on the left a hidden left turn just before the car park easy to miss on left

Very busy with roughly 8-10 vans. We went for a lovely walk through the woods to the old castle grounds, had a lovely picnic there and headed back. Lovely quiet stopover and if you stand outside the van late at night you can see lots of bats flying around the car park and nearby trees. Only reason for not rating 5* was the fact that there was no public toilet.

We spent one night. Arrived quite late to find it pretty full - at least eight Motorhomes. One guy with a BBQ gave it a nice homely feel. We had a quiet night and felt very safe. Fairly level parking. Nice services provided by the community - appreciated. We left a donation. I would highly recommend.

Excellent spot in the woods with views of the estuary just through the trees. easy walk to the castle through the woods.

Lovely but path to castle is unsigned. Miss the turn and it becomes a two hour walk!

Black Water disposal not currently available at today's date of post. Other than that... Fantastic.

Closest I've seen in the UK to a French style Aire, provided by the community for visiting motorhomes. When we stayed there were 10 vans plus a pickup with a rooftop tentbox. Some were parked a little close together but there's a lot of space in the middle of the site which could take more if necessary. There's a nice path through to the castle grounds and along the coast towards the WWT centre.

Arrived at 3.30 got the last space some big vans here so only 7 spaces great little sight ,no outstanding view from site but plenty over the Rd we paid 5.00 donation u can empty water and toilet and refill water thank you to the local community for keeping this going if u donate they will keep your journey going

Great place to stay. Nice walks & picnic benches.

Parked up here last week, great little spot for an overnighter. please leave donation for upkeep!

Lovely quiet little camp site with water facilities, there is an honesty box at the entrance so please make sure to leave something. There is a little walk too. Would definitely stay again!

Great spot, lovely coastal walks and to the castle.. arrived 1pm, already 4vans, and full up already by 2pm with loads of vans pulling in and turning around. Arrive early!

Local community maintain this and the nearby site at Glencaple ( old harbour ). It costs them a lot to empty septic tank several times a year. So please leave a donation. Please respect the rules for both sites or lose them ! This message left by local motorhomer

Lovely little site. Quite full when we arrived (11pm). Good facilities for emptying chemical loo, grey water and refilling fresh water. Nice walks nearby. Castle visitor centre opens pretty early where there are (flushing!) toilets and hot drinks / snacks for purchase at the gift shop. Can leave donation in cash in honesty box or follow link to donate online via PayPal.

Lovely little overnight stop, water and waste available. Look for a sign that says campsite... If your at the car park with a height barrier you've gone past it. Lovely pathway to walk the dog. Make sure you leave a donation afore ye go. Good moblle coverage, and we picked up 140 TV channels... Bob on.

Nice area with fresh water. Near the natural reserve!

Second stay here filled water, empty loo, empty rubbish from van and left a donation in the box, fab place

Wonderful place, space for 6-7 motorhomes if folk park considerately. Water, elsan and a rubbish bin. Quiet and right in the estuary with salt marshes and the wonderful wildlife that they bring. We've been here for 24 hours and watched 3 vans stay overnight and use all the services yet leave nothing in the donation box. Sigh...

What's wonderful place to stop and "charge the batteries". Big thanks to the owners who decided to make it available. Make sure to visit the Caerlaverock Castle when there. 20 minutes walk and £6 entry. Unfortunately we were late but still worth walking around it.

Great place! Parking for prob 8 vans, fresh water and drain for grey water, empty loo possible and bins and it’s free!! They ask for donation if you use it and 100% you need to, make sure places like this stay

Flat site covered with oak trees, bays separated by grass verges, entrance has some pot holes which can be muddy. Fab place, very quiet.

We got there round 4pm (mist entrance) when we drove in was bit muddy but ok in bays we were woken up with nuts fall off the trees and bang on the roof. Not a good place to stay at this time of year

Brilliant place to stop over.

Level area among trees and alongside a quiet road. After rain the ground is a bit muddy but a marvellous facility. Lovely short walk to the castle and in winter you will see the geese.

Only complaint we had were the midges but you can't help them. Haha. Great spot and lovely walking.

Good spot. good facilities.

Great place to stop. Good walking. we stayed for the weekend was busy with motorhomes. Great for stargazing. Please put a donation in the honesty box

Nice spot. 6 other campers when we were there. Very quiet. Make sure you leave a donation in the honesty box

Good place to stop with walks but no views. Has a place to dump and fill with fresh water, please put a donation in the honesty box.

A really nice quiet nights stop in an enclosed wooded area, though a little muddy. Signposted as a campsite, so we initially drove past it but turned around at the car park next door. 3 other vans when we stayed. Nice walk through the woods. Good fillup point for water, waste water and waste toilet, but for motorhomes you need a hose to empty your water or buckets up a small slope.

Popular (9 last night), but great location and services. Don't forget to make your donation.

Excellent small camperstop. 6 of us parked here tonight.

Great spot for a night, good amenities. 10 vans on 30th, but lots of room so OK. Bit muddy in places. Nice walk or cycle from the site. Castle just up the road worth a look. Donation box, needs support to keep such a special place available!

Stayed here on 28/8/20 brilliant site with loads of walks around it. drinking water and grey waste and chemical waste disposal, had a great night here.

Beautiful spot - the postcode takes you to the castle but the area is 2 mins away. Waste disposal and water area was spotless- glad to see people keeping it that way- the walks are beautiful too! Just hope people donate to keep it going.

Very quite, 7 more campers/ motor homes good place to walk the dogs we enjoyed it

Superschöner Stellplatz. Kostenlos, es wird um eine Spende gebeten. Entsorgung muss mit mobilem Abwassertank gemacht werden. Versorgung über einen langen Schlauch oder mit Gießkanne. Toilette lässt sich ebenfalls gut entsorgen. Plätze sind glatt. ich brauche keine Böcke zum aufbauen. extrem ruhig. 20m bis zu einem unglaublich schönen Blick ins Meer und Vogelschutzgebiet.

Now open again 4G ok

Site open. Stayed here two nights (moved off in between) and both nights it was really pleasant. Busy both nights, with maybe 6-7 vans present but everybody was friendly and had a nice community feel with people chatting.

Closed at present, so no update. the parking at Glencaple Quay is open for 5 vans.

July 2020 and site padlocked closed unsure if due to covid or permanent as no visible signs. Car park next door has height barrier. There are some small laybys that might be possible to stay in near by

Really great spot for any type of van, caravan or motor home. No charge for parking just an ho easy box for donations. There is a tap for drinking water. A wheelie bin. A waste disposal for toilets and a separate tap with hose pipe for cleaning. It was really flat and plenty of space of multiple vans The car park leads on to a really nice off road walk along the side of the estuary. It’s an ideal spot for dogs owners. Postcode works perfectly.

Quiet night. Flat level pitches well maintained. Unfortunately toilet emptying facilities were out of order and signed as such.

Peaceful spot. Short walk through the woods to the castle which is interesting and has a cafe and toilets. View through trees of Solway Firth and hills beyond. Ground is well maintained so no fear of getting stuck despite recent heavy rain.

Wundervolles Plätzchen!

Nice peaceful spot toilets 3 mile away nice walks in the forest

Lovely old CL site.. as signposted .. facility to drop grey and black waste.. and fill up with water.. please help support by using the HONESTY BOX.. was a bit disappointed to see people drive off and not donate after using the facilities.. lovely walk through the woods to the castle..

Très bel endroit, calme plat beaucoup d'espace, petit sentier qui mène au château par la forêt. Super, on y a passé une nuit très tranquille.

Decent size carpark, with amenities , sheltered by tree's . Good views along the walks nearby.

Stayed 16/8, was very full, ground was wet but that didn’t stop anyone camping. Lone female felt very safe. Great facilities and an honesty box for the upkeep. Great nights sleep

Endroit très calme, avec possibilité de plein d'eau et de vidage wc, ce qui est plutôt rare dans ce pays. Oui c'est boueux quand il pleut, mais allez sur un parking bitumé vous n'aurez pas ce souci. N'oubliez pas la donation, je n'ai pas vu grand monde le faire !

Parfait . le sol absorbe peu l'eau ...mais les services compensent . on peut mettre au moins 8 camping car. voire plus. nuit très calme

4 stars only because I've arrived after a heavy rain, and it was muddy and full of huge puddles. good for 7-8 camper vans if parked wisely. unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to get a parking space - my potential neighbours appeared to be not so good parking-wise. 6 vans have occupied the whole space. good bits:free of charge and waste water dump/fresh water refill.

Great little spot with full water services. Busy but room for many vans. Lovely castle nearby.

Superbe emplacement, merci au propriétaire et n'oubliez pas la petite boîte pour préserver le lieu.

Endlich -nach 2,5 Wochen in Schottland- eine Ver- und Entsorgungsstation. Netter, ruhiger Platz zum übernachten. Denkt daran etwas in die Spendendose neben der Entsorgungsstation zu werfen!

Great spot, please donate if you can! there was at least 10 campers with us last night. Quiet. clean drinking water tap and black water dump... a rare thing to have in the UK! Castle to visit nearby. thank you!

Great spot for a stop over Thanks... Water available. Grey waste disposal via a bucket down the grating at water point. Black waste disposal. as others have said not many of this type in the UK! Please leave a donation to keep it here.

Some grassy spots with shade for those wishing to pitch a tent, access to water, tables near the bay and the seaside walk which is beautiful.

Ein schöner Übernachtungsplatz mit Ver- und Entsorgung!!! Eine echte Seltenheit in Großbritannien. Achtung: Viele Zecken!!! Die erwünschte Spende sollte man unbedingt hinterlassen. Schließlich wünscht sich ja jeder Wohnmobilfahrer Stellplätze mit so einer Ausstattung!

Nice stopover with facilities. A real treat in UK.

Wunderschön gelegener kostenloser Platz. Ideal um einen Spaziergang zum Caeverlock Castle zu machen. In dem Caverlock Nature Reserve kann man lange Spaziergänge mit den Hunden unternehmen. Der Platz war recht voll, aber man hatte immer noch genug Platz. Es gibt zwar keine Toiletten und Duschen, aber mit Frischwasserversorgung, Grauwasserentleerung und chemische Toiletten Entleerung. Es wird um eine Spende gebeten.

Nice spot, quite busy with campers so it's better to come early to get a spot. Drinking water available, no toilets. 1 star less for the flies- we left early in the morning because we couldn't prepare breakfast.

Stayed one night. Nice flat area with facilities only asking for a donation. About 10 meters to walk way that takes you to the castle. No midges seen at all.

Gratuit, beaucoup de moustiques en arrivant, on est resté à l'intérieur. Très calme pendant la nuit. Possibilité de recharger de l'eau et de déverser les eaux grises, ainsi que la cassette toilettes. A recommander à 200%.

Très pratique, rare et gratuite. Le site est propre. Nous ne sommes pas restés dormir mais on entend que les oiseaux, pas de voiture, et merci à la commune pour ces services

Toller Spot, aber die Grauwasserentsorgung funktioniert nur über einen Eimer oder über einen Schlauch; beides müsste man aber selbst mitbringen.

Worth an overnight stop. View from the start of the nature reserve is fantastic. Water and waste facilities, thank you Caeverlock estate much appreciated.

Nice spot please leave a donation

Lieu idéal, excellent emplacement, tous les services, gratuit (free donation ne pas hésiter) proche château, calme et cadre top. Merci, merci pour ce lieu.

Really nice place next to a nature reserve. Useful information point. Quiet location, flat hard standing

Un lieu à préserver et respecter, nuit calme.

Aire de service tout à fait correcte, vidanges faciles et remplissage d'eau potable.

Site calme, près d'une réserve naturelle, très reposante, vidange des eaux grises faite avec un seau, eau potable et vidange WC, point appréciable pour continuer notre périple, merci pour l'info

Good stopover could do with a little tidying up grass etc had a lovely walk in nature reserve

Super

Rare en Grande-Bretagne : une aire de services. Bon, c'est le minimum puisque il n'y a pas de grille de vidage pour les eaux grises. J'ai utilisé la K7 WC pour vider les miennes. Nuit calme sur ce parking plat. Un chemin part du parking voiture d'à côté qui accède au château en traversant le bois.
