Another fantastic stay at Garlieston Lodge, the tenth stay this year! This camp-site is a peaceful and relaxing place, the grounds are immaculate, and the on-site lake is stocked with large trout.
The stream running through the site has a resident kingfisher, which I saw several times, along with a cuckoo in the mature trees (first time I've seen one).
Along with other local produce, there is a wide range of delicious home-grown pork and other meats to buy on-site, perfect for a BBQ! We will be returning in two weeks time, this site is one of the best kept secrets in the south west of Scotland.
Thanks to Christine, Rusty and Darren for making our stay so wonderful.

We really enjoyed a very nice and peaceful stay at Garlieston. Darren gave us a very nice warm reception and terrific help with the loan of a hook up cable.
A real pleasure to have met you Darren, you enjoy a wonderful job in a wonderful place, not many people are able to do that. Everything nice and clean and tidy, great peaceful atmosphere....very good. Keep doing what you are doing! We'll see you again.

Can't thank you enough Rusty, we had a wonderful two weeks with you.
The site is a total credit to you and all the hard work you put in.
Lovely, picturesque,quiet,peaceful,what more can one ask of a place.
The shy pig is a place for all to enjoy conversation and good company, and share a glass or two.
We can't wait to get back next year,(make sure the pigs are back for Julie's sake) What a great place!! (But don't tell anybody else let's keep it to ourselves) David & Julie

Probably the best place we've stayed in our short time as motorhome owners. The site is idyllic and pitches are large. We overlooked the fishing pond from which mummy duck and her 7 babies came to visit us every day. Rusty can't do enough for everyone. He even got us a lobster to take home with us and Rusty it was fabulous. We were sad to leave but will be back as soon as we can. Met so many lovely people in the Shy Pig where all our dogs were off lead and got on together.
Ps. Don't tell everyone about this site as it's something special xxxx

Okay, seems like someone has let the cat out of the bag regarding this particular site and why not, we sold our Motorhome eventually, but prior to that we spent our Christmases here and fell in love with the place.
Rusty, Christine & Darren always made us welcome, and even though we no longer have the Motorhome we intend to pay a visit, the site was truly a place where the weight of the world definitely stayed at the wrought iron gate, we miss it but will see you soon. Thanks for the memories and good times.

Another superb stay at Garlieston Lodge (6th stay this year!). This secluded camp site is very relaxed, and a wonderful place to enjoy a holiday as it promotes deep relaxation. Weather has been hot and sunny for all six visits, and the local wildlife never fails to impress along the many miles of stunning coastal walks. Thanks to Rusty and Darren for making us so welcome, we will be back again soon!

September 2017 : Caravan
We enjoyed four nights here in mid September 2017; we had visited years ago and always wanted to return but circumstances prevented this. We were not disappointed by our return trip. Rusty and his son Darren greeted us and literally positioned the caravan for us on the plot; first class service. This way we got the best views from our lounge. The pitch was level with a gravel base and immaculately kept. The toilet/shower facilities were great and well kept. A large selection of books and DVD's were available FOC and many useful information leaflets on the local area to help us enjoy our stay outside the campsite.
The other campers were really friendly and there was a very large cabin/summerhouse where most of them met nightly for a wee drink before your evening meal (bring your own)... good opportunity to catch up on the days activities or just have a good natter.
Certainly I'd say the best kept small site we have visited. The really comprehensive website tells you all you need to know about eggs / meat for sale on site and local amenities... take a browse!!

What a find absolutely brilliant. From the moment you drive through the gates you will fall in love with this place. We where met by Darren who showed us to our pitch and helped un hitch the van and put it in position we knew we where somewhere special. It is one of the best sites if not the best we have been to. So quiet and tranquil we stayed for 8 nights and wish it had been longer. The peace and quiet was so relaxing. The information given by Darren and Rusty was always first class as to where to go and what to see. We will definitely be returning if we are lucky enough to get booked in. Thank you.

They always make you welcome,as do the other friends we have met from staying here,most of which we managed to see this time around. The eggs,sausage,bacon,honey and haggis are very tasty and well worth a try. We cannot wait for our next visit. Thanks again all of you,and tight lines Darren for that big Bass.

What a fantastic wee site, a warm welcome from Rusty. The pitch is a great size, even for our unusual set up. The beautiful blue fresh eggs from the lavender hens were delicious, as was the sausages and bacon from their own black pigs Toilet and shower kept beautifully clean and the ingenious light system that is seen from most pitches is a great idea. We will definitely be back to this gem of a site. We especially liked our view of the fishing lake from our pitch Thank you to Darren and Rusty see you soon.

Stayed for 11 nights and what a fantastic site this is compared to that soulless Caravan Club Site next door. It is the best site we have been on and we have been caravanning for 45 years! Rusty and Darren put our caravan into the exact spot we wanted, no mover required lol. A Doctor’s appointment was sorted for me when I had an accident. We acquired some crabs and Rusty boiled them for us and what a size they were. Later Rusty got some more, so cheap and massive. We will be back. Also recommended the site to all of our friends and relatives. Thanks Rusty, Chris, Darren and Darren’s faithful companion Jack.

I have been home now for 10 days since my last visit to Garlieston Lodge. October and November is a beautiful time to visit this site, watching the leaves turn and seeing the Robins and Blackbirds mooching in the leaves for food and pottering around the site and my awning ! AND little or NO fireworks , even at this time of year, peace and quiet is the norm for this site but I miss the sound of the owl now I am home.The new addition to our pack, Maddie (20 week old rescue puppy) has enjoyed socialising with all the four legged visitors to the site and all the cuddles , thanks to Jack for being so patient with her, she has been spoilt. I have made new friends and acquaintances this year and met old friends ?? ??. Thanks to Rusty, Darren , Christine and Jack for many fab times during my visits this year. Now I have booked for next year I don't mind saying if you haven't visited this site , then if you like peace and quiet and lovely surroundings with nature all around you , then you must visit. I look forward to seeing in the new year at Garlieston Lodge but will miss not being there on Christmas Day ?

The site is well maintained and facilicities good. Wifi, for those who want it, at a small cost. All in all a great site with a short walk to the harbour. A nice pub nearby and also a PO within walking distance.
Loved it!

I wish we lived nearer. This site is lovely. Trees surround the lake. Ducks and moor hens wander around the pond but do not make a mess. A lovely summerhouse to sit and watch the lake or meet up with other caravaners. Just a short walk past the pond, the pigs sleeping in the sun, and you are on the lane which leads to the nearby harbour. We didn't get the best of weather but still enjoyed our visit. We would definitely visit again if we come back to Scotland.

First time camping in a tent at this site. Weather could have been better, but great that the other campers on site look out for one another. Rusty and Darren are excellent hosts who keep a clean and tidy site and nothing is too much trouble. This is one of our favorite campsites and definitely wins hands down as a secluded paradise to chill and relax. The evening get together in lakeside lodge for a few drinks is an added bonus.

It's a long way from here but so well worth it. The most relaxing fortnight's holiday we've ever had. Waking up naturally at about 9am to the sound of the most joyous birdsong is amazing when for the rest of the year we're out of the house by 6am for work most days. Rusty and his family are incredibly welcoming and obliging but the other 'guests' are so friendly too. It felt like one big family. Thank you to everyone. X

What an idillic setting and so peaceful and friendly. Have stayed several times at the Caravan Club site but this was more personal. Tried my hand at fly fishing under Darren's guidance, an experience you are unlikely to get in many campsites. The meat sold on site was very tasty and the visiting fish van had a good choice of quality fish. Have already booked a further trip in our motorhome in the Autumn and a tent trip next summer. Excellent light system for when toilet/shower engaged. Lovely walks along the coast.

Just got back from a great 15 night stay,and we are missing it already. Rusty,Christine,and Darren are really friendly.It was our first time at Garlieston Lodge,and we will go back again. We normally run around all over on our hols,but the site is so relaxing,we really did chill out and recharged our batteries. It is such a peaceful place,well kept, and the facilities are spotless. Grahame enjoyed his 3 days fly fishing,and our dog Yogi,loved his walks from the site,being a puppy he couldn't go far,but he loved to chill out by the water under the shade of the trees,and also going to see the pigs which he was fascinated by. I enjoyed catching up with my reading,and just watching the world go by. We met some lovely people at the site,most of whom are regulars. All were very friendly, and really helpful. Special thanks to Lynn for the loan of her sticker( she will know who I mean). We tried the lovely local honey,and the bacon,sausage and eggs which are all from the site and taste so much better than the same bought from the supermarket. The haggis is a must as well. Thank you to Rusty,and some fellow campers who helped to turn our van around when the motor mover failed,we couldn't have done it otherwise. We look forward to our next stay.

Rusty and Darren and Christine are always on hand for any eventuality and could not be more friendly. Husband enjoyed his 3 days fishing on a very well maintained large pond. Spent most evenings under the gazebo by the pond with a drink in hand. The site and facilities are very well maintained. The pork which is sold on site is lovely and wish we had brought some home. Garlieston lodge is a little slice of heaven and will defiantly be back.

We have stayed at this site quite a few times now over the last couple of years and its one of our favourites. The site is beautifully maintained by Rusty, his wife and son and we love the way the pitches are arranged around the large pond. Dogs are welcome but children are not, as it is at the local pub and restaurant in the village. So if you're a dog owner who is looking for a friendly small and peaceful well kept site without children running around this is the place to go. We are members of the Caravan club that has a site just across the river from Garlieston Lodge but we much prefer to stay at Rustys.

Rusty and Christine are really friendly and from the minute we drove through the gate we felt welcome and at home. Everywhere is kept pristine and it is so relaxing sitting looking across the pond. The location is superb with excellent walks straight from the gate, the dogs loved it too they are all looking very glum tonight as they've missed their walk on the beach.

We've stayed several times before and as usual we were not disappointed. Some great walks to Rigg Bay and Gallawoy House Gardens as well as nearby Garlieston Harbour and Beach. During evening great pub Harbour Inn, good beer and friendly locals. The site boasted interesting wildlife, kingfishers, buzzards, rare breed pigs, heron and many others. Rusty and Christine make very good hosts and as usual answered any of our queries. We think the best way to describe our stay here is one big chill out, once parked everything is on your doorstep - post office, pub and store. I strongly recommend you try whatever the time of year.

Another fab visit to Garlieston Lodge. The site seems to attract really friendly people whom are always willing to pass the time of day . Great area for walking the dogs or having a nice meal and a pint or glass of wine in the dog friendly harbour inn. On this visit i really
enjoyed the wildlife . I loved watching the deer near the wood in the field next to the site from my van window or on the walk to Rigg bay and the pheasant whom got great pleasure in annoying my two westies. I must say hello to Bob and the girls ( the pigs ) whom no matter how sunny it is or how asleep they appear to be , will always wake up if you offer them some apples or carrots . Thanks To Rusty and Chris , Meg and Jack. See you soon on my next visit .
