Pam and Adrian would like to welcome you to Port Logan Caravan Site, in the beautiful Rhins of Galloway. Port Logan is a wee, tranquil village, immortalised in the BBC series, ‘2000 Acres of Sky’. A bus service from the village, takes you to Stranaer or Drummore. Situated on Muldaddie hill, our adults only site provides; electric hookup points, WC and basin(cold water only), and chemical disposal
point. The site is a grassy, sloping field, so levelling blocks may be needed, and it can get quite blustery on occasions. A hard standing is available for larger outfits or motorhomes. Our pitches enjoy spectacular views over the bay, and across to Northern Ireland. On a clear night, the lights of Belfast, and the brightly lit ferries in the North Channel are visible. Officially a ‘dark sky’ region, our night skies are inky black so bring binoculars/telescope. Also, the sunsets at Port Logan are legendary….so bring your camera! The vistas from your pitch are ever changing; watch boats in the bay, gannets fishing, swallows swooping for insects, and hares boxing…all this without leaving your sofa! If you are patient, you might spot a sea otter on the rocky shoreline. If you wish to explore, there are many things locally to see and do. Garden enthusiasts are spoilt for choice. On the doorstep, visit sub tropical Logan Botanic Gardens to see rare trees and plants from the Southern Hemisphere (plus a super café). Also, Logan House Gardens with spring displays of rhododendrons and a monkey puzzle avenue. Further a-field are Glenwhan, and Castle Kennedy gardens. Across the bay is the Logan Fishpond, a unique opportunity to see fish in a natural environment. If it’s birdlife that you want to see, visit the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse, where puffins, kittiwakes, and guillemots nest on spectacular cliffs more than 100 metres high. When nesting, watch the peregrine swooping in for lunch! From your pitch, expect to see; oyster catchers, curlews, sparrow hawks, kestrels, buzzards and many other species. For active types, bring walking boots and bicycles. There are miles of quiet lanes and coastal walks to explore, plus the recently opened Drummore to Stranraer footpath. The area is renowned for fishing. From the pier or shore, expect to catch numerous species including bass and flat fish. Watercraft can be launched directly from the beach, and charter boats are available from Drummore and Portpatrick. For golfers, a choice of courses are available within driving distance. It is also possible to visit Northern Ireland using the ferry from Cairnryan. The nearest shop (most Southerly in Scotland) and pubs, are 4 miles away in Drummore. There are three pubs, all of which serve food, and one that serves cask real ale. There are cafes at Sandhead, Drummore and the Mull of Galloway, and pub/restaurants in Portpatrick and Sandhead. Stranraer is the nearest town with supermarkets, banks and chemists, plus museums, a cinema and leisure centre.
