What a wonderful little site. The owners are so helpful and the site is kept clean and tidy. You can get full TV signal and internet/phone signal from this site.
There is only 1 shower and Toilet with a spare toilet at the rear of the house if needed and these are kept very clean and well stocked, there is no issues with having to wait to use these as it is a little site and no overcrowding.
There is a family of Squirrels which visit the feeding boxes and are a treat to watch.
There is walks from the site and it is very close to mountain MTB seven stains centres and other attractions.
If you like peace quite and neatness this is the site for you, we are planning our next trip this time with bikes.

What a lovely site. Less than 2 miles off the main road in a beautiful spot. The owner could not be friendlier or more helpful.
The site is small and flat. Showers etc are clean, fairly basic but perfectly adequate. There is also a large area with cooking, washing and drying area. The red squirrels are the icing on the cake, being fairly tame and feeding close to the units. A great site to wind down at.

Just returned from a 5 night stay at Glenmidge. This is a fabulous site and run by the nicest people. Thanks Hamish, Margaret and Tom. The weather was mixed but that did not spoil our trip to the area of Dumfries. So much history in the area it really demands a second visit. Facilities excellent. Red squirrels a treat. Other visitors on the site were very friendly. Ate at the Thornhill Inn and The Auldgirth Inn, both had really nice sensibly priced food and good real Ale.
A nice drive to Rockcliffe on the coast is recommended as is a visit to the museums at Dalbeatie and at the John Paul Jones Cottage.
The site is compact and occasionally there can be noise from farm traffic and early risers, but this did not spoil the experience for us. The cafe at Auldgirth is also good and really inexpensive. We had take away home cooked jam scone nearly every day. The night skies were not at their best due to the weather but I understand are wonderful when the sky is clear

Arrived home today from 2 week stay at Glenmidge. Hamish & Margaret are friendly & welcoming, there if you need them (contact no. If they do manage to have some time off) but leave you to enjoy the peace & quiet of their well looked after retreat.
There maybe only 1 wc & 1 shower but for the size of the site this should be more than adequate. We have stayed at slightly larger sites that only have 2 showers, and lets face it, if you have a caravan or motorhome you usually have the facilities to do your ablutions.
I have never been so close to a red squirrel to watch its antics and had a great time watching him/her watching me and diving in and out of the feed box.
Although we did not use the pub at Auldgirth who serve food, Hamish did recommend it to us, we were too content once back on site after golfing/sightseeing that we didn't want to go off again. Your needs are catered for right down to a toaster.

We only stayed a night on our way back from Skye.
What an amazing little site.
There was only one other pitch occupied.
We had a nice flat pitch with ehu. The facilities are nice and clean, with the addition of books, maps amongst others in a shed at the side.
Hamish and his wife are lovely, really nice people.
You MUST buy some of his honey, it's great.
It is a very quiet site with the added attractions of the red squirrels. Hamish has feeders for them in the trees. They woke us up at 10 to 6 in the morning, banging the lids down on them. They were about half a metre from our caravan, and aren't afraid of people. They just go up the trees and watch you.
It's in a good location for walking and cycling.
We went into Dumfries in the evening, it's 8 miles away.
A wonderful, quiet site with fantastic owners and great value for money.
Don't forget the squirrels

A hidden gem! If you are looking for a 'posh' site with shops and entertainment this is not for you. It is for those who appreciate it's beautiful secluded location, it's practical facilities, spotless shower and toilets, and friendly owners.
There is access to a large shed/garage. In it are a variety of appliances for campers use - microwave, kettle, toaster, hob, washing machine.
There is provision for washing and storing bikes. All around the red squirrels play. Fabulous!
The field is flat, and hook ups are available. Would love to go back.
