Glenearly
Caravan and Camping Park is situated in 100 acres of open countryside
just outside the town of Dalbeattie amid the magnificent scenery to be
found in Dumfries and Galloway and enjoys panoramic views taking in Long
Fell, Maidenpap and Barhill Forest.
The predominantly adult caravan and camping park is a haven of peace for statics, tourers, motorhomes and tents.
There is an abundance of wildlife on view - buzzards, yellow wagtails, woodpeckers and goldfinch being some of the varieties of birds and, of course, our resident red squirrels. You may also be lucky enough to spot a fox or a badger in one of the surrounding fields. There are also pet donkeys and ponies.
