Having enjoyed staying here before, I organised a camping trip for 8 friends in 2 old motorhomes, a classic campervan, and a cosy static caravan - we all squashed into its lounge in the cool and wet evenings. Plenty to do locally for a group with widely varied interests, and beaches to satisfy the most energetic dog. The staff could not have been more helpful and accomodating - all credit to them. At only £17 out of high season for EHU on grass, we think it's good value. A folding bike is useful as the site shop & office is quite a hike away. The bus to Dumfries or Dalbeattie is every 2 hours. Minor quibble - the toilet block steamed up after showers (which are hot and free) as the heat / moisture / ventilation balance isn't right: it was like going into a sauna some mornings, with damp floors. Won't stop us coming back again, however.

Another great holiday at Sandyhills, Staff on site are great, very friendly and always willing to assist. I have reviewed this site a short time ago and everything stands except 1 thing!
The toilets now have no heating available and with the cold Easter morning's they were freezing to the point it put me off using them. Spoke with staff who were aware of the problem and were hoping the owners would invest in a solution soon. If you plan a trip soon might be worthwhile calling Gillespie Leisure direct and ask if they have sorted the problem, maybe this way a cracking wee site can be made even better!

We have just returned from spending a weekend at Sandyhill bay campsite. We arrived quite late on Friday evening and the wardens were so friendly & helpful, they were not at all put out, ( as we have found on many other sites! )
The site is lovely, relaxing and clean with a beautiful sandy beach which is easily accessed. The showers were clean with plenty of room in each cubicle. The shop is well stocked too, with a small cafe next to it which unfortunately was closed for the season, but 400yds away there is a restaurant for non residents of their site.
There is a bus stop at the entrance to sandyhill bay site for anyone wanting to go further afield without driving. We also had our Labrador with us who loved the walks & beach. Would definitely go back & would recommend this site to friends & family.

This is a friendly and welcoming campsite situated in a lovely area very close to the beach. The campsite is clean and safe, very good for families. My partner and I plus dog camped for two nights and enjoyed our stay.
We felt it was quite expensive at £19 per night for 2 adults in a small tent. There were good amenities ie shop/cafe, laundrette, dishwashing facilities but at the height of the season it was difficult to get a shower as there were only 2 showers available in both the male and female toilet blocks.
There is definitely a need for more showers as it meant a long wait in the morning and two seemed inadequate for the volume of campers staying at the park in peak season.
What we particularly liked was the presence of the warden at night patrolling which made the site feel very secure.

Saw the site last year by chance and decided to stay for a few days this trip.
New wardens are extremely friendly and helpful with a good knowledge of the surrounding area, they couldn't have done more to ensure we had a great stay.
The site is very well maintained and peaceful with a beautiful sandy beach and fantastic views over the Solway Firth. There's a small children's play are and a good mix of EHU's static homes and a very large field for tents plus a couple of wooden chalets.
All the amenities were clean, in a good position and bin areas very tidy.
The site is well placed for Dumfries, Dalbeattie, Kircudbright and the gorgeous Dumfries & Galloway forest.
I would definitely return again as a warm welcome is guaranteed from the lovely Lancashire wardens - well done - keep up the good work !

Another cracking holiday spent at Sandyhills in our Conway Crusader Folding Camper. We spent 3 nights here after spending 4 at Brighouse Bay (Same co. ) and I can tell you give me Sandyhills any day. This site is so family friendly and is always kept immaculate. We had the one and only Hardstanding which was spot on level, all other pitches are grass but are fairly level. The toilets are kept clean and tidy and there is also lots of hot water for the free showers. We used the dryers for our towels and a token for 6 mins is 75p.
There is a shop on site which always has the daily papers first thing and fresh rolls as well as most other essentials. We love this site as we can stroll right on to the gorgeous sandy beach and our little one has a ball. As the previous review stated good food can be got at the nearby Barend Holiday Vilage Pub which is walkable in 5 mins. No hesitation in advising anyone to try this site and we will be back for may holiday.
