 The best site in the country. We can't get enough of it. My partner used to come as a kid when it was just 2 fields and we have been twice a year since we bought our first tent 5 years ago. Everything you could ever want is at Brighouse, you can tour the area or now like we do, just have a really relaxing time without leaving the complex. Lovely walks, lovely beach, lovely big pitches. The facilities are excellent and even on a busy Bank Holiday weekend the toilets are kept clean. The shop is well stocked and the Club House serves good food. Can't wait to go again next month.

Lovely campsite, friendly staff, well run, clean and lots of facilities. We didn't use the pool but from what we saw, it was always busy.
Went for a walk along some breathtaking cliffs, the walk was well worth it, beautiful scenery.
The park is clean and spacious, the toilets are unisex so no losing the little kids etc.
If you are going to tour Scotland, start your trip here, you won't be disappointed.

We visited this site in June as a party of two families, travelling up from Newcastle. Facilities were good; the kids absolutely loved it. Swimming pool was ideal for the kids and the clubhouse wrapped up each night with some stirring Scots nationalist anthems! Decent enough food too.
The shop was well stocked and rather encouragingly I have to say, sold only stockings and no tights! Maybe they have 'special weekends' up there! Great -- thoroughly recommended.

Have camped in our caravan at this site often and can only repeat the earlier comments - it really is a lovely site. Great for kids and great without (we love it and we don't have kids to take! We go for the walks etc). As the site is open all year we also visit during the winter as they have very comfortable, well equipped log chalets (amongst the best I've ever been to)and the price for a weekend is very reasonable (£100 for a weekend (2 nights) for a 3-bedroomed lodge- hard to beat).

Best place we have ever been! Nothing else compares.
Huge pitch. Not too many rules - didn't feel as though we were being watched all the time. Clean toilets and showers - even a bath if you so wish. Easy access to beach. Well stocked shop. Beautiful place to spend a day or even several weeks. Children loved it here.
Only draw back was an occasional inconsiderate dog owner leaving muck behind for children to find.
Will definitely visit again (with poop-a-scoop)

4 night stay (well should have been) 22nd to 26th. 2 adults 2 kids ages 9yrs and 5 yrs.
Brilliant site. Stayed here more or less same time last year. Should have been 4 nights this year but got hammered on 2nd night in storms AGAIN and lost this time. Had to abandon ship and run for our lives, (well into the car anyway). Poor old tent destroyed.
Anyway as for the site. Top site. Good wide pitches. Not many electric hook-up pitches as we had though, about 10 I think. On-site golf course, pub with games room inc 10-pin bowling alley and pool with jacuzzi, snack bar and take-away. Pony trekking (you need to book in advance, a day or so usually) Small fishing pond and seperate canoe/kayak pond.
Beach is reached through small wooded area and is quite nice, when you get the weather!!! There is a nice coastal walk but be warned it is quit rocky and not suitable for young kids or the infirm. It goes right along the coast around the golf course. On site play area suitable for young and older kids. Bike hire available at a charge.
Toilets and showers are unisex (wahey!!) and very clean and good sized, Showers are of an en-suit design ie: toliet and shower and washbasin all in one cubicle. Seperate toilets and seperate washrooms are also available. All are cleaned regularly.
On-site shop very well stocked and open 'til about 8:30pm.
Nearby Kirkcudbright is 10 min drive away. Nice pub in town called The Royal Hotel. There is a nice park en-route to Kircudbright that is on the sea front with picnic benches and a small beach.
All-in-all a very nice site and I would thoroughally recommend it, just beware of gales in August!!

Just back from bonnie scotland...... what can I say, one of the best sites I have ever visited. We were booked in from Sunday night but arrived at about 8pm on Saturday to a lovely friendly welcome from the reception staff & as luck would have it our pitch was available so we were able to set up just before darkness fell and were only charged £5 for saturday night (such friendly people the scots).
Fantastic fascilities and considering the site was so large, it still felt small and friendly and very quiet.
We often struggle with space due to the size of our pitch but this was not the case here, huge pitches and quiet level.
Toilets / showers spotless and no ques!!

Just back from Brighouse and can definitely say I will return. Lovely clean site, good toilet facilities, food at clubhouse is excellent. Good all round family fun. And a good relaxed atmosphere in all aspects. Kids loved the park, lots for them to do, hardly seen them. Liked the idea that at night, there was a warden who made sure all kids cleared from park once it got late. My only negative point was I felt that the lighting around the site was quite poor - especially when trekking from the main tenting areas to toilets during night.

Excellent site. So much to do. Lost my 12yr old son to the golf for a week !!!
Well stocked shop and reasonably priced. Superb pitching areas with loads of space. Toilets and showers blocks were first class. We will definitely return. Visited Kirkudbright (15min drive) and Dumfries (60mins).

A good family site with plenty to do. Stayed 3 nights, pitches were a good size and well spaced out although ours was a bit unlevel (10G) which left us with quite a high step into the caravan. Well stocked shop for essentials, beach on doorstep, swimming pool, qauds, golfing and horseriding all onsite.
7 mls into kirkubright for supermarket Co-op and the better of the 2 Somerfields.
The only thing I wasn't too keen on was the unisex toilets and showers. Would go back to this site again.

just returned. Excellent site with big pitches. It's a big site but so well spaced out you don't feel like it is. The showers are excellent and spotlessly clean - as is the rest of the site. Loads to do - even if you don't like golf! The sky at night is awesome as is watching thousands of crows going home to bed! Very friendly - will definitely be going back.

This is an excellent family site. Toilets & showers are great - very clean and the unisex cubicles are such a bonus. Hairdryers in there which run for quite a long time for 20 pence.
We had a great big pitch - good play area for the kids.
The indoor pool is good - a bit pricey (£5.00 for 2 adults & 1 child), but clean. The bar & bistro served excellent meals and had entertainment on every other night.
Pony Trekking was good fun - our 10 year old loved it.
Right on the beach so hours of fun there.
Good for all you golfers out there. Shop well stocked. Would definitely recommend and will return sometime soon.

Arrived late evening to find very helpful staff ready to help us poor first timers who had mis-calculated the fantastic routemaker by about 2 hours. Personally continuing toward Gatehouse of Fleet seemed more accessible than through Kirkcudbright, although the drive along the waters edge was lovely once we'd sited the van ( Somerfield and Co-op in Kirkcudbright)
Helped to set up and then discovered the takeaway / restaurant at the golf club - after once again losing our bearings (watch out for the frogs though - must be that time of year again). Fantastic night sky.
Lots of space between vans and the facilities available were spotless and warm and inviting. Shop stocked with ample choice. Leisure club lovely - facilities and breakfast. Beautiful golf course with far reaching views. Facilities for even the most discerning teenage boys - quad bikes and horse riding weather permitting.
Space to unwind and listen to the peace and quiet. Nice sense of team spirit from fellow campers and everyone at Brighouse Bay. Well done.

We loved this campsite, it is huge, well laid out, clean and staff are really helpful.
I went pony trekking which was great fun. There is a 18 and 9 hole course for golfers and good leisure facilities.
Would definitely stay there again. Top marks!

Excellent site, a really big site but doesn't feel like it as it is split up by woodland. The tent pitches are huge, we could have put up a very large tent and still had plenty of room for playing football etc.
There is a fantastic coastal walk right on your doorstep, the private beach is only a very short walk away, the main kids play area is great for all ages (mine is 22 months) and there is also an indoor toddlers area and outdoor play area by the bar so you can enjoy a beer whilst watching the kids at the same time.
The shower and toilet blocks are very clean and the ensuite facilities are great for families. Hot and powerful showers and you don't have to pay for them. There is also a baby room with a baby bath and nappy changing area. Washing up facilities are good and there is also an ironing/laundry area (didn't use this though).
There is a good onsite shop which also does an ice pack service, great for us as we didn't have a fridge.
Plenty to do nearby, if you have kids I would recommend Cream O Galloway just 15 mins away and definately Mabie Farm Park in Dumfries, plenty to do there all day, take a picnic!
All in all a very enjoyable stay, will definately be visiting there again sometime.
