Three lochs holiday park was average and overpriced. Camping fee of £9 per night was a bit much and the facilities were pretty dated and inadequate (only two showers in male toilet for entire campsite and dirty sinks).
Although the staff were friendly and the assault course, indoor pool, games room and cafe were awesome the main problem was the midge infestation. These midges aren't repelled by anything and will eat you alive, they are simply unbearable so forget the fishing at the lakes in the summer.
I was intending stay for two nights but left after one and have vowed never to camp in or near the Galloway forest during summertime. Horrible experience (due to the midges).
To sum it up in one word. Boufin'

First visit and will return.
Excellent friendly staff, laid back but, still attentive and cheerful.
We arrived a bit late into the afternoon, and received a warm friendly greeting.
Loads of information available on the site, fishing, swimming, horse trekking as well as great walking and cycling on roads that are quiet, and all this in beautiful surrounding countryside.
We had planned to Clay Pigeon Shoot, we were disappointed that the clay launcher was out of order, but, we were however offered the alternative Air Rifle shoot but, not for us.
The three lochs are close and lovely to walk around, popular with fisherman, my husband and son had more than a few happy hours participating, while me and the dog wandered the countryside.
Excellent road standard all around the area if your a cyclist, we enjoyed covering many miles.
A great site suited us perfectly!
Negatives - the toilets and showers need up grading, but there are future plans to build a new touring site hooray! It's a place that deserves it.
Midges! and they wear tackity boots ! But they won't stop me returning.

Myself and my 2 eldest sons (13 and 10) are just back from 3 nights at the 3 Lochs and we really enjoyed ourselves.
The site is in an beautiful location and only 7 miles from Newton Stewart.
We found the staff immediately friendly and welcoming on arrival and throughout our stay.
We went to the 3 lochs primarily for a spot of fishing. The first, Loch Heron is literally just across the road from the site and a little further up the bumpy lane is Loch Ronald which is the biggest of the 3. We fished both Ronald and Heron and we had a selection of small Perch, Jack Pike and Skimmer Bream.
A lovely location to fish and we will definitely be back for more.
We also made use of the on site cafe which was great for the first night when I couldn't be bothered to cook in the caravan, the food was superb.
We all made use of the indoor swimming pool which was lovely and warm!
The site toilets were always clean although only one shower unit was available at the time. The shower itself was the hottest I've ever known on the coolest setting be warned!
The shop on site seemed well stocked with the essentials and the fishing tackle shop was excellent for any bits you've forgot or for replacements.
There is a great outdoor play area for the kids and we also had a go at the 'pitch and putt' some of the holes were quite long so be prepared for a good walk!
There is also a small games room for those not so sunny days that we get a lot of in Scotland.
My one word of advice is make sure you take midge repelant! the area is well known for the abundance of midgies! and even with repellent I have brought home a few bites, this is by noway enough to put us off returning for a 2nd trip to the 3 lochs in the future.

What a place to visit, the staff bent over backwards to help and made it extra special.
For activities for young and old alike it is wonderful. We tried the archery, clay pigeon shooting and the pool. The pool is a godsend if the weather turns it keeps the kids happy for hours. We never got to try the many other activities on offer, but on our return visit we will make an effort to see what we missed.
The gamesroom is small but well kitted out, the cafe is good and the shop will get what you need.

Just returned from a four day trip to Three Lochs and loved it, myself husband and two teenagers. The sites facilities were all you need from a campsite, in some cases have more than other campsites we've been to (which is quite varied all over Scotland) The campsite, toilet block was very clean and tidy as was the play area games room and little cafe, swimming pool although a tad small was a godsend, my two teenagers enjoyed it a lot. Never once moaned at being bored, all of the above was within walking distance away.
The Lochs where a great place to fish, sit and relax (nice sized Pike,Perch, roach and breem)Pike can go to 50+lbs. All in all this place was so good we've booked for a long stay,the staff are so friendly in fact anyone we met there was friendly. Newton Stewart's only 7 miles away if you forget to bring anything with you, although the shop has plenty of supplies if needed.

Just returned from 2 nights at the 3 lochs. We were planned to stay for 7 nights but were not too impressed with the site. We required an electric hook up but were told that there was not to many available, even then it depended on how long your hook up cable was. We were under the impression that all the attractions were free but when we arrived found them to be really expensive, ie, £12 for induction for air rifle shooting then £6 for half an hour on the range, pitch and put the same. To sum it up. Forget the 3 lochs, not worth it, especially with the kids.
