Campsite suggestions in Dumfries and Galloway

[craig614]

Hi
Anyone got suggestions for campsites (with a nearby boozer) in Dumfries and Galloway. I've done New Galloway and Castle Douglas recently, I'm looking for a change.
Thanks in advance

Glen Trool?

Not the big one full of plebs in wobbblyboxes/pikey vans and with screaming kids - the small one back up the road a bit.

Can't be more specific as it was about 12 years since we were there, but I liked the site - small and basic.

(edit: there was apub within staggering distance)

There's a bar of sorts at the wooden lodge place at Sandyhills, and there's a campsite there, or was last time I stayed at Barend.

Lovely part of the world, my mother's family came from Dalbeattie and I spent many a holiday there as a kid.

Garlieston

Ok, a wee bit to the south but wonderful quiet roads and a good base for circular routes.

Homely wee pub.
