Absolutely stunning location - you worry when you arrive as it’s a really popular tourist attraction but the car park empties out and it’s very peaceful. Nice walk along the loch side or a boat ride on the loch plus good cafe

Really nice campsite with good facilities. It was quite busy but it wasn't too noisy. Staff were friendly. I was on a hardstanding pitch and my only gripe was, the grass that we had allocated for the pitch wasn't really quite wide enough to secure my awning as well as I would have liked. The awning just about fit on.
We had some sandwiches made by the guy in the cafe to take on our walk which were good. Lacking veggie options though.

I can not recommend Baystone enough. THE VIEWS ARE AMAZING! I was not expecting them from the pictures shown by stunning the wash facilties are clean and maintained access to onsite fridge and freezer. Good pitch sizes with fire pit.
I will be back as soon as possible. Camp warden was lovely super friendly. I explained my dog prefers space and she was more willing to accommodate.
The on lead rule is followed by all guests which was a reason I picked the sight. There is alot of live stock so your dog does need to be okay with horses and sheep around.
Noise levels were quiet by 10pm every night. Cafe on site was lovely and have a small shop with some goodies avaliable (tecos 8 min drive away) beautiful beaches, peaks near by. I loved it

Only thing was having to take own loo roll into bathroom even after the cleaner had been n not restocked.
Would deffo come back and maybe stay in the pods for a change.

David kindly welcomed us at very short notice, very friendly and accommodating, brilliant with comms. Have your choice of parking over two large fields, you'll be parking on a hillside, with wide open views for miles, perfectly orientated to watch the sunset on horizon. Levelling ramps recommended in some spots.
- Fresh-water taps on site, along with clean portaloo(s)
- Firepits and wood available for hire

Caravan parks near New Galloway guide
When to go
For the best chance of good weather, and for taking advantage of extended daylight hours, May to August is the ideal time to visit New Galloway and the surrounding region. However, those planning to do some stargazing in Galloway Forest Park should visit between October and March, when the skies are at their clearest and most crisp. Wildlife lovers can spot rutting red deer around the park during the autumn months.
Know before you go
- Wild camping is allowed throughout Scotland, as long as you follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
- The weather in Scotland is always changeable, even in summer. Come prepared with warm, waterproof clothing.
- Local buses can get you to most places of interest in the area. The closest railway station is in Dumfries, a one-hour bus journey away.
