Flat site covered with oak trees, bays separated by grass verges, entrance has some pot holes which can be muddy. Fab place, very quiet.

We got there round 4pm (mist entrance) when we drove in was bit muddy but ok in bays we were woken up with nuts fall off the trees and bang on the roof. Not a good place to stay at this time of year

Brilliant place to stop over.

Level area among trees and alongside a quiet road. After rain the ground is a bit muddy but a marvellous facility. Lovely short walk to the castle and in winter you will see the geese.

Good place to stop with walks but no views. Has a place to dump and fill with fresh water, please put a donation in the honesty box.

A really nice quiet nights stop in an enclosed wooded area, though a little muddy. Signposted as a campsite, so we initially drove past it but turned around at the car park next door. 3 other vans when we stayed. Nice walk through the woods. Good fillup point for water, waste water and waste toilet, but for motorhomes you need a hose to empty your water or buckets up a small slope.

Popular (9 last night), but great location and services. Don't forget to make your donation.

Great spot for a night, good amenities. 10 vans on 30th, but lots of room so OK. Bit muddy in places. Nice walk or cycle from the site. Castle just up the road worth a look. Donation box, needs support to keep such a special place available!

Stayed here on 28/8/20 brilliant site with loads of walks around it. drinking water and grey waste and chemical waste disposal, had a great night here.

Beautiful spot - the postcode takes you to the castle but the area is 2 mins away. Waste disposal and water area was spotless- glad to see people keeping it that way- the walks are beautiful too! Just hope people donate to keep it going.

Superschöner Stellplatz. Kostenlos, es wird um eine Spende gebeten. Entsorgung muss mit mobilem Abwassertank gemacht werden. Versorgung über einen langen Schlauch oder mit Gießkanne. Toilette lässt sich ebenfalls gut entsorgen. Plätze sind glatt. ich brauche keine Böcke zum aufbauen. extrem ruhig. 20m bis zu einem unglaublich schönen Blick ins Meer und Vogelschutzgebiet.

Site open. Stayed here two nights (moved off in between) and both nights it was really pleasant. Busy both nights, with maybe 6-7 vans present but everybody was friendly and had a nice community feel with people chatting.

Closed at present, so no update. the parking at Glencaple Quay is open for 5 vans.

July 2020 and site padlocked closed unsure if due to covid or permanent as no visible signs. Car park next door has height barrier. There are some small laybys that might be possible to stay in near by

Really great spot for any type of van, caravan or motor home. No charge for parking just an ho easy box for donations. There is a tap for drinking water. A wheelie bin. A waste disposal for toilets and a separate tap with hose pipe for cleaning. It was really flat and plenty of space of multiple vans The car park leads on to a really nice off road walk along the side of the estuary. It’s an ideal spot for dogs owners. Postcode works perfectly.

Quiet night. Flat level pitches well maintained. Unfortunately toilet emptying facilities were out of order and signed as such.

Peaceful spot. Short walk through the woods to the castle which is interesting and has a cafe and toilets. View through trees of Solway Firth and hills beyond. Ground is well maintained so no fear of getting stuck despite recent heavy rain.

Très bel endroit, calme plat beaucoup d'espace, petit sentier qui mène au château par la forêt. Super, on y a passé une nuit très tranquille.

Decent size carpark, with amenities , sheltered by tree's . Good views along the walks nearby.

Stayed 16/8, was very full, ground was wet but that didn’t stop anyone camping. Lone female felt very safe. Great facilities and an honesty box for the upkeep. Great nights sleep

Endroit très calme, avec possibilité de plein d'eau et de vidage wc, ce qui est plutôt rare dans ce pays. Oui c'est boueux quand il pleut, mais allez sur un parking bitumé vous n'aurez pas ce souci. N'oubliez pas la donation, je n'ai pas vu grand monde le faire !

Parfait . le sol absorbe peu l'eau ...mais les services compensent . on peut mettre au moins 8 camping car. voire plus. nuit très calme

4 stars only because I've arrived after a heavy rain, and it was muddy and full of huge puddles. good for 7-8 camper vans if parked wisely. unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to get a parking space - my potential neighbours appeared to be not so good parking-wise. 6 vans have occupied the whole space. good bits:free of charge and waste water dump/fresh water refill.

Great little spot with full water services. Busy but room for many vans. Lovely castle nearby.

Endlich -nach 2,5 Wochen in Schottland- eine Ver- und Entsorgungsstation. Netter, ruhiger Platz zum übernachten. Denkt daran etwas in die Spendendose neben der Entsorgungsstation zu werfen!

Great spot, please donate if you can! there was at least 10 campers with us last night. Quiet. clean drinking water tap and black water dump... a rare thing to have in the UK! Castle to visit nearby. thank you!

Great spot for a stop over Thanks... Water available. Grey waste disposal via a bucket down the grating at water point. Black waste disposal. as others have said not many of this type in the UK! Please leave a donation to keep it here.

Some grassy spots with shade for those wishing to pitch a tent, access to water, tables near the bay and the seaside walk which is beautiful.

Ein schöner Übernachtungsplatz mit Ver- und Entsorgung!!! Eine echte Seltenheit in Großbritannien. Achtung: Viele Zecken!!! Die erwünschte Spende sollte man unbedingt hinterlassen. Schließlich wünscht sich ja jeder Wohnmobilfahrer Stellplätze mit so einer Ausstattung!

Nice stopover with facilities. A real treat in UK.

Wunderschön gelegener kostenloser Platz. Ideal um einen Spaziergang zum Caeverlock Castle zu machen. In dem Caverlock Nature Reserve kann man lange Spaziergänge mit den Hunden unternehmen. Der Platz war recht voll, aber man hatte immer noch genug Platz. Es gibt zwar keine Toiletten und Duschen, aber mit Frischwasserversorgung, Grauwasserentleerung und chemische Toiletten Entleerung. Es wird um eine Spende gebeten.

Nice spot, quite busy with campers so it's better to come early to get a spot. Drinking water available, no toilets. 1 star less for the flies- we left early in the morning because we couldn't prepare breakfast.

Stayed one night. Nice flat area with facilities only asking for a donation. About 10 meters to walk way that takes you to the castle. No midges seen at all.

Gratuit, beaucoup de moustiques en arrivant, on est resté à l'intérieur. Très calme pendant la nuit. Possibilité de recharger de l'eau et de déverser les eaux grises, ainsi que la cassette toilettes. A recommander à 200%.

Très pratique, rare et gratuite. Le site est propre. Nous ne sommes pas restés dormir mais on entend que les oiseaux, pas de voiture, et merci à la commune pour ces services

Toller Spot, aber die Grauwasserentsorgung funktioniert nur über einen Eimer oder über einen Schlauch; beides müsste man aber selbst mitbringen.

Worth an overnight stop. View from the start of the nature reserve is fantastic. Water and waste facilities, thank you Caeverlock estate much appreciated.

Rare en Grande-Bretagne : une aire de services. Bon, c'est le minimum puisque il n'y a pas de grille de vidage pour les eaux grises. J'ai utilisé la K7 WC pour vider les miennes. Nuit calme sur ce parking plat. Un chemin part du parking voiture d'à côté qui accède au château en traversant le bois.
