 Stunning location with views over to the sea and Rough Island. We were lucky to be pitched at the front with direct views but each pitch offers some sort of view because of the gradual slope upwards towards the entrance. Levellers may be needed on some pitches.
The site owners are lovely people, very friendly and helpful.
The facility block is kept extremely clean and the showers are great. Proper power showers and no constant button pressing! Big bonus.
We found the site extremely peaceful and the quiet hours were observed.
Camping is on a separate field at the top of the site so cannot comment on the facilities there.
There are many walks available direct from the site The one to Sandyhills is beautiful but don't attempt it if you have any sort of mobility problems because some of the slopes are very steep. For cyclists there is the Dalbeattie Forest. Highly recommended.
There is no shop on site but there is a Londis a mile and half away which caters for basic supplies only. For something more substantial, a visit into Dalbeattie is needed, about 15 minutes drive.
There are two hotels/pubs in nearby Kippford about a 10 minute drive.
Looking forward to a return trip.

Well kept site with very friendly owners, in a beautiful location with great views.
Very clean modern toilet and shower block. Scenic coastal walks from the site.
We would definitely return.

Our new favourite site. I cannot express how much of a gem this site is. Booking was straightforward, checking in was straightforward and pitching easy.
Facilities were spotless and covid regulations and rules adhered to.
Beautiful environment to be surrounded by with views of the coast and beyond. Lots of dog walks from site. Ice cream van down in the beach area of Rockliffe.
We paid £22 per night plus £1 per night for the dog. Don't like paying for dog but normally can understand the charge if there is a special dog area on site and bins provided which sadly this site didn't have.
Still, very well priced for time of year. Everything bar a few little niggles was perfect for a quiet get away.
1st niggle, couldn't find any bins for dog toilet disposable on site.
2nd, slightly wider hard standing pitches would be preferable as getting in and out of van onto grass means having to clean trailed in grass up, I don't go on holiday to clean.
3rd and final niggle, unsupervised children running around vans. Young boys letting off steam, fine but it did mean we couldn't sit out in the evening sunshine as they were unsettling the dog. When there is a playing field available, which there is at castle Point, children should be encouraged to use that. They should also be respectful of people around them and be taught about other people's personal space.
This site gets full marks from me because the positives well out weigh any little negatives.

Nice site, beautiful scenery and lovely walks. I would stay here again if the site wasn't covered in dog faeces.
The children's' playing field seems to be a dog toilet and three pairs of my daughter's shoes became soiled. I think the wardens need to be clearer about where dogs can relieve themselves. Also, no dogs on the sight seemed to be on the lead. My daughter is scared of dogs (after being attacked a year ago) and we constantly had to be on the lookout. I'm fine with dogs being there - it's just there needs to be clearer rules.

Scott and Lorraine gave us a friendly welcome when we arrived and were quick to give us some information leaflets.
Our front line pitch gave us a lovely view. Later in the week after heavy rain the ground around us became very boggy, but that's Scotland for you!
The toilets and showers were very clean with ample soft toilet paper, soap and hand sanitizer.
Our only criticism is the approach road to the site has many deep potholes which gives you a very bumpy ride.

This is a fantastic site Scott & Lorraine (Site Wardens) were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.
The amenities were top class and very clean and the views were to die for.
There are some excellent walks which we appreciated as We took our two scottie dogs who thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
We most certainly will return.

We spent 5 lovely days here on a pitch with a great sea view.
The facilities were spotless, everyone was very friendly and the location of the site is great for walking.
We would really recommend it!
The only little thing that was lacking were recycling facilities.

Had a fab time at castle Point campsite.
Owners so lovely and helpful and the facilities are spotless and cleaned regularly throughout the day.
Showers better than ours at home.
All areas of the site have amazing views and very peaceful and relaxing.
Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved this site and wanted to stay longer but it was booked up. The wardens were welcoming and very helpful.
Lots of walks in the area and the beach nearby. Saw lots of wildlife, badgers, foxes, deer, red squirrels.
We will definitely return.

This site is amazing! Lorraine, Scott and the team work tirelessly to keep this site immaculate at all times. Set in a stunning location, having to book, ensures the site isnt cramped. There is a large freezer and fridge available to campers.
The facilities building is modern and the bins area is kept secure, unlike my bread that the badger came into the tent for, lesson learnt, keep food off the tent floor!
This is a wonderful site in one of the most stunning locations southern Scotland has to offer, but be sure to book in plenty of time, its a very popular site.

This was a first time visit to Dumfries and Galloway and we really enjoyed our stay. The campsite is a little bit off the beaten track but was worth it,
The welcome was a little brief maybe could have been given more written info instead of verbal which I found hard to take in all at once,
The site itself was very clean and well kept and the showers were the best I’ve ever come across well done.
All in all a good well run clean site
Will definitely stay again if in the area.

We had a lovely peaceful few days here last week. As always, the views are to die for whatever the weather.
Walks along the shore and coastal path with the dog are blissful, and we were very appreciative of the work by National Trust and local community volunteers to cut back the undergrowth to keep the paths clear.
On site the new wardens here are certainly making their mark, with improvements to showers and keeping the site looking at its best. They are very welcoming and work hard to keep the facilities sparkling and safe in the current pandemic.
This has always been a favourite site for us for a few days break close to home and we'll certainly be back.

Lovely site. Simple, very well maintained, and clean. We hired a static caravan for 4 of us and despite a very mixed bag weather wise, we had a great week.
The caravan was immaculate, the view was fabulous, it’s a simple, largely unspoiled area with things to do in both good and bad weather.
There was plenty of room for all of us and places for the kids to hang out with others.
Highly recommended

A lovely campsite in a beautifully quiet part of South West Scotland.
We were in the area signposted 'tents' but were mainly surrounded by other camper vans. The view from our prime position at the top of the field was amazing, especially when we saw the rainbow over the estuary below us.
The toilets and showers were ample and clean although a little more power and temperature consistency wouldn't go amiss.
Rockcliffe itself was handy for a few walks either along the cliffs to Sandyhills (you can walk or bus it back) or through the forest to Dalbeattie (again, walk back or catch the bus).
A return trip is definitely on the cards.

This was our second outing with our new caravan and we were very impressed with the site.
The location overlooking the sea is stunning as are the sunsets.
The site is accessed by a narrow Lane which being new to caravanning, I found rather daunting as there is little room for passing other vehicles especially as you approach the site.
The site is very well laid out and reasonably flat. There is ample space for each pitch and room for the towing vehicle too.
The site staff were friendly and keep the place immaculate. The toilets and showers were spotless for the duration of our stay.
The village of Rockcliffe is accessed by a footpath from the site and is a very pleasant 15min walk. The views from the coastal footpath going away from the village are spectacular.
There are plenty of activities to do locally including mountain bike trails at nearby Dalbeatie forest, the deer sanctuary and sailing.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would return in future. We fully recommend this site if you like a quiet break away from the hustle and bustle.
