 Solway View Campsite Kirkcudbright, real little gem of a site, sitting about 4 miles from the small town of Kirkcudbright sitting on the coast. 30 or so pitches, handful of pods and a sauna.
Site is split into 3 areas, top of the site near reception and a toilet block has around 7 pitches (1-7) as you drive down into the site you get 5 pods equipped with toilet and cooking facilities, follow the road round you come to the camping field with 13 (8-20) very very spacious pitches.
Just off the camping field you have a Sumer camping field (A-N) All pitches at the top of the site and camping field have 16amp EHU. In the summer camping field 9 pitches (A-N) with what I could see 5 pitches with EHU (A-B-K-L-M) 2 shower blocks male & female, 2 showers 2 toilets in the top block and a further 2 showers 1 toilet male female near the camping field, appear clean tidy with the odd loose tap scrapes n scuffs, probably need a little TLC. Water taps and wash up points. There is a bothy style but with a couple of hobs sinks table chairs games etc for non EHU campers. No WIFI
We had pitch 9 just as you enter the camping field, all pitch’s come with a bench and fire pit. Huge pitch but you get a lot of folk passing by as it’s en route to the toilets and exit plus whilst large its depth wasn’t deep.
As it’s summer hols time loads of families visit as it’s very well priced for what you get 2 nights EHU £56 2 folk
Now with families you get kids so it can get a tad noisy, kids running around especially in the camping field, we took our grandkids and whilst we threatened them to inch of their life to stay away from other campers pitches, many did encroach into them. But it was great to see all these children playing together, not a phone in site, just energy. When we book again as a couple we would book outwith the holidays or keep away from the camping field.
Recommended pitches 10 through 12, 14 through 19 huge pitches in the camping field (can get busy, loud in the summer hols) A-B and K-L-M in the summer field, tucked away n look very quiet
The campsite has a 9 hole disc golf course £3 each you get disc or bring your own to loose, great way to spend a few hours and surprisingly difficult. The farm does a trip around the farm on a trailer and a short walk down to the coast to a small bay. Coast line is rocky and some decent fishing is to be had
Reception has all the basic stuff, firewood £10 kindling kit £1
Overall great visit, grandkids loved it ran riot (Sorry to other campers) but at 11pm everyone respected the quiet time and it was deadly silent

What a lovely, peaceful and tranquil site. 2 nights in our campervan where we were very lucky with the weather at a time where areas around us had storms.
The campervan area is at the top of the site, space for a small number of vans all with hard standing pitches, a fire pit and bench each too. The pitches have a bit of a slope but ok with levelling blocks.
The camping field is nearby, there is a children’s area near to the reception which has a small shop.
Showers and toilets are clean with plenty of hot water. There is a washing up area with some kitchen facilities for those who wish to use it. Laundry and drying area which is great for damp weather.
Owners are very helpful, there if required yet keep a distance for those wanting a quiet time.
The area is beautiful for nature, lots of greenery and flowers attracting butterflies. Beautiful view of the Solway firth, there is a trail down to a secluded bay and safe to swim in in calmer weather.
We will definitely be back, highly recommended for tranquility.

Excellent location! Such a quiet peaceful site. Large pitches met some lovely people.
Neil was very helpful and welcoming. Will definitely come back.
Saw lots of wildlife especially enjoyed seeing the deer early morning and in the evening.
The views from the site are amazing

Situated over looking Kirkcudbright bay on a dead end road so very little traffic.
Warm welcome from the hostess, in reception a small amount of grocery items available.
Caters for walkers cyclist's tents camping pods caravans and campervans. Clean shower toilet facilities pot wash area in the tent area.
Plenty of walking routes, White bay through the woods is worth a visit.
Plenty of places to visit or admire the view and watch the tide ebb and flow in the bay.

We stayed 14 nights in April and with the Scottish weather realised that our newly acquired Lunar was about as well insulated as a tent, but a trip out to buy a warmer duvet solved that problem.
I could pick minor faults but at 27 quid a night, it's not much dearer than a Farmer's field site, which is a rarity these days so no complaints from me.
We had a nearly level hardstanding with a wonderful view of the Solway Firth and the nearby woodland. We watched deer leaping the "deerproof" fencing, an owl hunting and catching something in the adjacent field, a regular rabbit visiting and the amusing Highland cattle coming to the fence for an apple.
An excellent walk round the nearby woods where we picked some wild garlic leaves which were delicious with new potatoes.
The owner, a pleasant lady, was on hand for a few hours every day for any advice but no interference or strict rules enforced by any sort of warden so it did for us and I would go again.
I should say that the toilet block and showers looked clean and well maintained but we prefer to use our facilities.
I'd hate to get involved in a standoff with another caravanner on the narrow lane leading to the site but as long as everyone sticks to the coming and going times, that shouldn't happen.

The site is a good deal more rustic than the photos suggest. We were in the ‘Summer Field’ at the bottom of the site, on a level hard standing.
The facilities here are adequate, but only one male toilet to serve at least 10 pitches (several for tents) made using it an uncomfortable experience.
Views are beautiful, but reaching anywhere on foot is not particularly easy. Footpaths in the vicinity are not well maintained, and the roads are narrow and winding.

Had a fabulous time at Solway View. Pitches were very spacious. The shower and toilets were spotless.
There is also a cooking area where you can make your meals. There’s a picnic table and fire pit at each pitch.
I had my two small dogs with me who also loved it. I will defo be going back probably for a longer stay next time.
The owner was very pleasant and approachable

Stunning views and spacious pitches with exceptional facilities.
If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the perfect place.
The owner is helpful and friendly.
You can walk down to White Bay, a small sandy beach within 10 minutes of the site or drive up to the large parking and picnic site by a long beach a couple of mile up the road.

Myself and 7 of my family/friends stayed here over the Easter weekend. We had a problem with our hook ups on the first night as it kept tripping, we had a very cold first night and were ready to pack up the following morning to come home.
The owners pulled out all the stops and got it sorted for us. We can't thank them enough, especially at a traumatic time for them due to a family member being very ill.
The campsite's facilities are very clean, there is a children's play park situated here too. The location is lovely with a 15-20 minute walk from the campsite through the nearby wood is a lovely secluded sandy bay.
Kirkcudbright is a 10-15 minute drive away and it is a lovely town, with lots of eating places and historical places to visit. A lovely campsite, with lovely owners.
We will definitely be back.

What a fantastic site.
The host was really welcoming, facilities well maintained and easily accessed and pitch sizes are huge.
We had the best views you could imagine over the Solway and the beach was close by.
The dog exercise field was fantastic for my highly energetic collie as they can be off lead.
Absolutely loved it here

We loved this site; the owners clearly cared and took great pride down to the last detail to give campers and caravanners the very best chance to experience the sheer beauty of the place, and to have a quiet, relaxing time.
The frizby game was great fun, and the walks amazing.
The facilities were spotlessly clean. We also cycled from the site, around the lovely lanes through nearby hamlets and villages.
I could easily have stayed longer; so much variety on the doorstep, and I’d most definitely return, and recommend to my friends. Thank you.

Stayed in a large family tent with our 2 children aged 6 and 14 lovely size pitch with plenty of space and not to over crowded - dog Friendly too with fenced off area to walk off lead, Beautiful surrounding views.
Park was small but children had lots of fun there. Shower and toilet areas where clean and lovely and warm water. Dark skies where lovely and on a clear night so many stars and even spotted a few shooting stars.
Closest beach walk was a little hard to access due to the rocks might be difficult for anyone with mobility issues but we all managed OK as well as other beaches a little further but more accessible. Not really any shops close by if you forget any essentials.
Firewood available at reception. Any problems and the owners are only a phone call away and very helpful. Nice woodland walk nearby. Kirkcudbright was a short car journey away.
Overall a beautiful friendly secure site and reasonably priced for our 3 night stay.

Beautiful site, what can I say, it's perfect.
Great location, well kept, great pitches and they obviously care for the environment.
Will definitely be back.
