- Description
- Set in the heart of Dumfries & Galloway, Loch Ken Holiday Park is a fantastic caravan and camping destination. Ideally positioned on the shores of Loch Ken in the beautiful Galloway Hills, in an area of outstanding yet uncrowded beauty, you will love this small well sheltered park renowned for its friendliness and cleanliness.
The Bryson family invite you to stay beside the loch for a short break, a long holiday or even the opportunity to own your own holiday home.
In addition to all the watersports; swimming, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, the Loch is renowned for its coarse fishing, especially huge pike.
There is a well stocked shop, newly refurbished toilet and shower block including family rooms. 24 hour laundry facilities. Luxury caravans to let, boats, pedalos, canoes & mountain bikes for hire.

- Other recreation
- Adjacent to the park are the RSPB bird reservation, the “Galloway Kite Trail” and the Galloway Forest Park which offers our visitors many opportunities to walk, climb, cycle and bird watch.
The fishing is excellent, many fishermen return each year to catch the famous Loch Ken pike, roach, bream and perch. Parton is in the centre of Galloway with the delightful market "food town" of Castle Douglas, seven miles away, and the "art town" of Kirkcudbright fifteen miles away.
The Dumfries and Galloway Tourist Guide lists 115 places of special interest. Included are the early Christian 'Whithorn Excavations', Priory and Museum' - the site of the first Christian church in Scotland; Sweetheart Abbey, nineteen castles, including Drumlanrig, the home of The Duke of Buccleuch; and eight gardens including the National Trust Garden at Threave, Castle Douglas.
There are a number of bird sanctuaries, 'open' farms, countryside parks and forest walks, plus many museums, craft workshops, galleries and other attractions. Robert Burns spent the last years of his life in Dumfries. He is buried in St Michael's churchyard in the town and the Burns centre beside the River Nith in Dumfries is worth visiting.
