 Hoddom Castle is an exceptionally good site, one of the best I've been to so far. Set in the grounds of the castle the pitches are mostly level hard-standing (some drive on-off) but there is also an extensive grassy area for tents etc.
The toilet blocks are clean and well maintained and the showers are good (and free). Site facilities include a play area, small shop, bar, mountain bike trail, crazy golf, table-tennis, games room (including a couple of pool tables) and a reasonable 9-hole par 34 golf course (£10 for the day). A couple of holes run alongside the river Annan and Salmon & Seatrout fishing is available.
There is lots to do in the local area. We were only there for a couple of days but the kids enjoyed the visit to Caerlaverock Castle and also Dalton Pottery where they decorated their own pots.

A good site, well maintained, very clean toilet and shower facilities. A key is required to use them. Beautiful picturesque setting in the grounds of a mostly derelict castle.
There is a games room, crazy golf, cycle hire, outdoor giant draughts board onsite and a golf course adjacent. The laundry is well equipped and clean. The onsite pub has a warm and friendly atmosphere, but the restaurant is disappointing when you walk inside. The building is part of the castle, but once inside is reminiscent of a school dining room. The menu has good choice and the quality of food is good. Not a licensed restaurant, but you can walk to the pub (next door) and take your drink into the restaurant for your meal.
Hardstanding touring pitches are very hard and prove difficult to drive in your awning pegs. Rock pegs are a must! Electric hook-up points are not evenly spaced between pitches and can prove a stretch for your cable on some pitches.
It is a fair old trek to the one and only chemical disposal point which is closer to the tent field than the caravan pitches.
TV reception is non existent on most of the site, with limited availability at the top end of the site.

Spacious, well kept, quiet site. The castle ruins make for quite a back drop. Clean free showers. Play area for kids a little dodgy as no soft landing material on the ground so you have to be there, arms out stretched ready to catch them. Golf course next door if you play, and plenty of interesting walks. Shop and restaurant on site but we didn't use them so I can't comment.
Both staff and visitors seemed friendly and we enjoyed our stop. Would go back any time. P.S. don't forget your midgey cream the little blighters are like piranhas.

Just arrived back from Hoddom Castle a couple of weeks. The place is in good condition and as usual it was packed. It was the first weekend opening over the Easter period and it was very cold but as usual extremely good.
The bar was open and the restaurant and takeaway place was open. The food was excellent as was the service. Will be going up again at every opportunity we get.

We found this site perfectly adequate. It is a large site - our kids are 9 and 7 and I let them go to the park but wouldn't have let them wander at will. The mountain bike trail seemed to please the cyclists and the showers are amazing - loads of them - as has already been noted. The pitches are clear, the grass is mown and the shop is ok but not full of essentials. ie no bacon!!
However, we would come back here again - didn't try the bar etc. You are close to Caerlaverock bird reserve and castle which is well worth a visit.

Hoddom Castle is absolutely a superb site for pitching a tent. All pitches are clearly marked and are spaced far enough out.
The club house is nice and the staff are very friendly. There is also a restaurant which does superb meals at reasonable prices and also a takeaway service.
Shame there is no swimming pool but plenty of space for kids to run around and also play areas. Golf course is good for all those golfers and its easy access to get to lockerbie and annan.

Other reviews appear to have been on the generous side, the site is I agree well laid out and quite clean, however if you want an electric hook-up for your tent you will be put in the furthest point from the showers possible, not a nice distance in the rain. The electrics will blow a fuse if you try to boil an electric kettle. The shop is tiny for such a vast site and very poorly stocked. The bar is excellent and very reasonably priced.
The site is quite remote as no shops in neighbouring Ecclefechan, a few shops in Annan and Lockerbie but for anything more than basic supplies you need to travel to Carlisle or Dumfries.
I quite like dogs but it appears they are almost compulsory on this site, if you don't like dogs avoid this place !
Staff were at best accommodating. An expensive place to stay. We cut short our holiday short by two days, glad to get back home. Shan't return.

Started go to this site at the age of 7 and have been every year since. Fantastic castle, lovely clean site, toilets and showers all very clean. There is enough showers to shower half of Scotland with hot water for man and beast.
Bar well priced (and stocked) Restuarant well priced with very good food and service and candle light (in times of power cuts).
Plenty to do in surounding areas, lots of walks for a dog friendly site.
Kids playing area and games room is good.
Shop is well stocked for both adults and kids.
We dare you to try and count the amount of wild rabbits.
Looking forward to taking our soon to be born first child for many exellent holidays to come.
Be warned there is a £5 deposit for your keys for the toilet and shower blocks so if you loose a key thats £5 less petrol/drink money.
Hope you enjoy this site as much as we do every year.

What a site, beautifully laid out, all pitches clearly marked out and hardstanding, loads to do and see... and space!!!! Lovely wee bar that has quiz nights and music, very friendly staff and owners.
Toilet and shower facilities were spotless, there is a mountain bike trail (haven't tried yet), lovely river walks and more than enough room for kids to run about safely.
Plenty of water points and bins, it also has a large tent field where caravans are also allowed providing they dont need electric hook up, but there is a field up top for tents that require hook up.
But the main thing about this site is the friendly atmosphere, everyone has a smile on their face and will always say hello, all in........ go visit this site for yourself, you wont be dissapointed.

This is a lovely camp site - small pub with restaurant and its own golf course. Lot of nice walks round the site. Unusual ladies loos - used to be a stable block of the castle! Nice and clean and loads of showers and loos. Nice playpark for kids too. Only grumble was there are only 2 toilet blocks and if you are in the middle of the park its a long way to either!!
