A fantastic site, peaceful with lovely reviews and a very hospitable owner who made our stay very enjoyable.
There is a lovely seating area with fire out and barbecue for guests to use.
Site facilities are basic but clean and are going to be renovated soon. As owner just took it over in march this year so work in progress.
Site is well kept with beautiful views and beaches.
Free range eggs to buy at the neighbours.
Bus service from Monreith available to port William, newton Stewart, Isle of Whithorn, Dumfries.
The view in port William lovely food.
Would highly recommend the site and we will return.

Lovely campsite. 5 hardstanding pitches and 5 grass pitches. Large pitches grass well kept round about them.
Toilets and one shower which were very dated but clean.
Plans are being made to upgrade them. Adrian was very welcoming and friendly having only recently acquired the site.
Very peaceful. Walking distance to beach and golf course.
Would return no problem at all.

Really nice site set in beautiful countryside. Quiet and peaceful. Good shower and toilets.
The owner is lovely, friendly and helpful.
We had a mishap with our awning while out and came back to find it had blown off in a very strong wind!
However, the owner and a very nice couple also on the site kindly collected all our stuff and put it in the garage for us.
And there was a lot of 'stuff', we could not thank them enough for their help. Other than the one windy day, we had fabulous weather.

This was an unplanned, and surprisingly good, stay at Knock School. We were let down by Calmac Ferries 4 days in a row (I won't elaborate!) in our attempt to get to The Isle of Arran.
We were met by Pauline who was extremely helpful. The pitch was perfect, loads of space, well maintained grounds, some shelter and very quiet.
The facilities are within the old school outhouses and are rather quirky. All OK once you get used to it, clean with single electric shower unit.
Loads to explore in this beautiful corner of Scotland. Gavin Maxwell's bronze otter memorial is a short walk away, the coast line is interesting too, especially Ninians Cave. Port William, The Isle of Whithorn (Steam Packet Inn) and Garlieston (Harbour Inn) are worth visiting. The Mull of Galloway is about an hours drive, but again worth the trip on a clear day.
Calmac repaired their ferry and by Wednesday we were off. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely return.

Peaceful, well-maintained, extremely clean and tidy site with lovely areas of flower borders.
My pitch was spacious and completely level.
The host was friendly and attentive.
Shower and toilets were always spotless and charming as they are part of the old school.
Surrounding area is beautiful and extremely quiet, I never tired of the walk to the golf course from the site every evening, memorable sunsets too.
Many walks nearby and interesting villages, Isle of Whithorn, Whithorn, Wigtown and Garlieston are all great to explore.
I will be back again!

Can't fault the site for anything. I prefer smaller sites and it ticked all the boxes.
Pauline met me when I arrived and explained everything. The site is very well kept and good value for money.
The area is good for both cycling and walking. When cycling, I found the roads to be quiet and the motorists (with two exceptions!) to be respectful of my position as a cyclist.
At low tide the beach walk is fantastic.
I couldn't recommend Knock School Campng Site or the area enough.

Location - excellent, nice and quiet with a short 10 min walk down a track to a lovely beach (there is parking at the beach but I would imagine it would get busy in peak season)
Site - perfect, small with just 10 pitches (all with electric hookup), has everything you need for a short or medium stop. Having only one shower could be busy in the summer but we understand it never gets fully booked which is a surprise going by the location, spotless site etc.
Owner - great communication, helped us park our caravan when we turned up as this was our first ever trip so caravan novices. Nice lady and her son who told us everything we needed to know about the site and the area.
Area - so much to do in the local area, Dumfries and Ayrshire coasts so a perfect base to explore fishing villages, beaches, coastal walks etc.

A small and well maintained site, with beautiful flower beds and lots of grass.
Very peaceful.
Great walks from the site.
Really friendly owner.
A place to recharge the batteries of your soul.

We had a lovely 3 night stay here.
Situated in an ideal position to explore the Isle of Whithorn.
St Medans Golf Course and coastal path within 10 minute walk.
Beautifully laid out compact, quiet site with very friendly and helpful owner.
Some hardstanding pitches, all near to water and dark waste disposal.
Simple, clean toilets and shower with plenty of hot water.
