I stayed here for 7 nights in October with my microcamper and awning set-up. Andrew the owner is a very helpful chap and showed me what was what.
I had the site pretty much to myself for the entire week and found the facilities clean and perfectly functional. The shower was good and hot, the concrete floor was a little disconcerting to start with but it’s clean and dries out quickly, so I can see why they went with it. There is a Belfast type sink for washing up, along with a washing machine for visitors to use.
Pitches are good sized, with mains hook-up up accessible from most.
The only downside, and these are very minor criticisms, is that the ground was very soft, it may be just my fault for coming up in a wet September, but by the end of the week my tent groundsheet was soaked through and covered in mud. The duck-board walkway across the grass from the toilets to the pitches got very slippery and I nearly ended up on my backside on more than one occasion in the dark, it could also do with repair where the slats have broken away.
There were also a lot of clippings off the Hawthorn bushes lying on the ground, be very wary if you’re walking round with thin soled shoes on as they will pierce the soles, as they did with my plimsolls, ouch!
Apart from those minor, and they are minor, niggles, it’s a great site in a lovely location. There is a lovely 3. 5 mile circuit walk through the woodlands just 200yd down the road, and the fascinating ruined village at Polmaddy is also very close by, with more woodland walks.
The Donkeys on site are also adorable and friendly.
I will definitely be coming back.

I have traveled for camping from lancastet to lochdoon for many years as born in ayrshire, have past hawsrigg on a few occasions and thought next to try there and me and my son did. I am glad we did
Could not find anything wrong. andrew took us to where we could set up and took us to the shower and toilet as i found out really clean and also had a washing machine
Altogether the place was clean quiet and peaceful, for that andrew I give you 10 out of 10
We will be back for first camp in march 2026

Lovely tidy site, quiet and friendly. Basic facilities but hot water and showers were good enough.
Good centre for 7 stanes mountain biking but a bit out the way for other amenities…
Andrew was friendly and helpful… weather let us down

I have just had a really enjoyable stay at Hawkrigg campsite. The site was easy to find and easy to park.
Andrew the owner was friendly and helpful telling me about local places to walk/visit.
The toilets & shower were clean and hot. The site wasn’t busy (good) and very peaceful. The dark skies of Galloway are amazing. The site gets both sunrise and sunset.
I went out every day hillwalking, visited Loch Doon castle and Pollmaddy.
Highly recommended.
And thank you Andrew.

Delighted to have found this campsite after a night unplugged in the beautiful Loch Doon area.
Really a perfect wee site with no airs and graces. Clean well stocked toilets and a basic shower facility. Automatic lights in facilities and instant hot water. Recycling point : fresh water point and chemical toilet disposal area. And open ALL year round.
Really no complaints.
Andrew seems to be a busy man on his site and he also enjoys a gab - not unlike ourselves :)
Worth a stay I reckon in the winter months too when the roads are a bit quieter. Take a carrot or two with you for their two rescue donkeys - Archie and Stanley.
St John’s of Dalry is a cracking wee friendly village too - I really recommend visiting the Charity Shop! Something for everyone with all moneys raised going straight back to the community. What’s not to love.

What a wonderful site. We arrived by bike and were immediately welcomed and shown around.
The basic facilities were all great. Lights in all the bathrooms, hot showers, small but adequate wash up area.
Great value for money.

Met by Andrew, lovely guy with loads of local knowledge which was great.
As others said, it's a short trek to the local shops, but you'll have seen that when you booked, so stock up on the way in.
Facilities are clean and tidy, washing machine was a godsend for my trip.
Quiet area, good views, yes there are power lines but there's a lot of hydro-electric generation here and the area is also surrounded by forest plantations but also very close to the forest park so low light pollution so enjoy the night views!
The area is fab, lots of heath and woodland to walk around, maybe I was lucky but it's easy to avoid the crowds - I normally travel by motorbike and there are some lovely roads up here to mooch around but even by car it's fab.
Big towns are a fair trek but again, you'll have seen where the site is and chosen accordingly!
A good, quiet, clean, and small site - I'll be back for sure!

Was easy to find. Met by owner and shown facilities. They were basic, but adequate.
Good access to forest walks for us to take our dogs.
This place is a bit of a drive from any shops, so stock up if you don't want to be driving for provisions.
Location suited us but may be too remote for many people and wouldn't suit folks with kids in my opinion.
