Overview

Auchenfranco CS is off the beaten track! Located off a 0.25mile private drive, this campsite is truly peaceful, your own little green haven. The pitches are spacious, have hedges, flowerbeds and trees amongst them to ensure youre not overlooked. We have spent a great deal of time enhancing the habitat, planting mainly native or wildlife friendly plants. Watch the sparrows, tits, siskins, willow warblers, goldfinches, woodpeckers, geese, red kites and buzzards - just to name a few visitors. We do not charge extra for awnings, gazebos, wind breaks or dogs. We also offer access to Lochrutton Loch, via our woodland and reedbeds, which we manage as a private nature reserve (around 10 acres), you are welcome to exercise your dog or just sit and watch the wildlife. We own the riparian rights to fish the Loch from our banks, which we offer at a small charge. Situated 7 miles from the county town of Dumfries, we are in easy reach of the Solway coast, to visit places such as Caerlaverock Castle and Mersehead Nature reserve both featured on BBC Springwatch/Autumnwatch, also the towns Castle Douglas - Food town, Wigtown - Book town.
Please contact the campsite directly if you have any questions about opening dates, facilities or additional measures at this campsite.

 

This is a Certificated Site (CS). These select sites are small, privately run campsites that operate under the Club’s jurisdiction and can only accommodate up to 5 caravans or motorhomes and up to 10 trailer tents or tents, unless express permission has been given by the Club to accommodate more. They range from secluded Hideaways to fully facilitated family friendly sites, and are often found in locations where larger commercial sites are prohibited so you could be camping close to a beach or in the National Park, for example.

 

Whilst the majority of Certificated Sites do permit children, please be aware that this site has chosen to be Adults Only.


To vote for your favourite CS, all you need to do is fill in the online form and select which category you would like to nominate the campsite for.

2 acres, level/part sloping.
