Welcome

• Quiet, family-friendly holiday park 10 minutes’ drive from Dumfries

• New Abbey or Drumlanrig Castle and Gardens 20 minutes’ drive

• Modern showers; shop five minutes’ walk away

​

If you’re after a well-serviced spot to park up for the night or are looking to stick around and explore stunning Dumfries and Galloway, you’ve hit upon the right spot. Newbridge Country Park is a modern holiday park that handily suits both purposes, being half an hour’s drive from the M74 (for journey to the Highlands or south to the Lakes) and about the same distance from beaches and historic castles.

​

Set in several acres of countryside, the holiday park has spectacular views over the hills of Galloway Forest Park (half an hour’s drive), where you can soon be out exploring on foot or by bike. Anglers can cast for brown trout at Alderneuk Fishery or fly fish for salmon (in season) on the River Nith (both 15 minutes), and there are a couple of golf courses within 15 minutes’ drive too.

The lively town of Dumfries (10 minutes) is a sure-fire bet for picking up food or any other bits and bobs. If you’re having a break from the stove, take your pick of cosy pubs, organic cafés and restaurants serving local Scottish produce while you’re there. There's another shop five minutes' walk from the site.

Back at base camp, all the pitches are neatly landscaped, and spotless facilities on the site include a shower block with wet rooms and a laundry room, plus chemical disposal.
