Overlooking the banks of Loch Ken and offering a choice of luxurious waterfront holiday homes for hire plus pitches for tents and tourers, Loch Ken Holiday Park is an award-winning family-friendly park with so much to do.
From sailing and kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding and pedalos on Loch Ken, there is something for everyone including an on-site football pitch, a cricket green, a table tennis table, giant draughts and chess!
The nearby water-ski and wakeboard centre and activity centre with a waterpark offers archery, outdoor laser quest, zip-lining and climbing. Loch Ken Holiday Park also runs kids club activities in the busy summer months and for anyone just wanting to relax and eat amazing food, there is a park herb garden filled with savoury and aromatic herbs.

The park is close to the RSPB Ken-Dee Marshes bird reservation, however the jewel in the crown is definitely Galloway Forest Park. Galloway offers over 300 square miles of amazing scenery, from dense woodland to heather covered hills and rolling countryside. It also boasts a Dark sky park for amazing star gazing. Walking the park is a great experience, although mountain bike hire is available for those fit enough and who wish to take in the area at a faster pace.

Within Loch Ken Holiday Park, travellers can enjoy a range of activities, particularly those that take place on Loch Ken itself, such as fishing, kayaking, sailing and stand- up paddle boarding. There is a leading water-ski and wakeboard centre situated close-by, so those with a sense of adventure can learn a new skill during their stay.

The Galloway Activity Center, in addition, offers activities such as kayaking, sailing, archery, zip-line, water-park, outdoor laser quest and climbing.

Loch Ken also houses a grocery store, so those looking to stay on site throughout their stay are able to buy their essentials quickly and easily.

During Peak season we have an onsite catering van providing breakfast, lunch and scrumptious evening meals. You can also buy teas, coffees, hot-chocolates and cakes.

THE AREA :

Dumfries and Galloway covers an area of some 2,457 square miles. There are many different kinds of scenery found in the area - high hills, glens, woodlands, rivers, lochs and some 200 miles of coastline with many fine sandy beaches.

The region has a long and colourful history, is rich in archaeological sites, and has associations with many famous historic and literary figures. Within the region, the quiet country roads offer unhurried touring opportunities.

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.

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.

If you are coming with children there are plenty of nearby attractions to take them too, the Cream O' Galloway Ice Cream visitor Centre has ice cream tasting and indoor and outdoor activities for children, the Cocoabean Company where kids can make chocolate creations in interactive workshops or Mabie Farm Park that offers a fun day out for all the family.

Dumfries and Galloway also hosts several events throughout the year, there is the Big Burns Supper in January, the Wildlife Festival around Easter, DG Arts Festival in May - June, Spring Fling Art Festival in late May / early June and Flavour Fortnight in August / September just to name a few...
