A Warm Community

We love our great owner community on the park. We also love our local community and try to support local businesses and charities wherever we can.

We have a varied demographic on our park, from retired couples to young families and everything in between.  It won’t take you long to get to know your neighbours at Sandgreen and we all help each other out when needed.  Our park community brings a wealth of people together from all over the country and creates friendships that extend out with holidays at Sandgreen.

It is important to us that our team members are also part of our park community with everyone knowing our names and faces, and stopping for a chat when we are out and about on the park.

On Your Doorstep

Sandgreen is a beautiful, family-owned park sitting on its own private sandy beach on the Solway Coast with the nearest town being Gatehouse of Fleet. Sandgreen is the ideal place for families to make special memories. From good old-fashioned playing on the beach, building sandcastles and rock pooling, to the many kid’s activity centres just a short drive from the park, there is ample for kids to enjoy. Adults can wander around the many varied market and harbour towns enjoying the independent shops and sampling some of Scotland’s best produce in the local cafes and restaurants.

Sandgreen is also a great base if you enjoy all things outdoors. We are just a short journey to several of the 7Stanes mountain bike centres and we are surrounded by many stunning lochs and hillwalking attractions including Cairnsmore of Fleet, Dow Craig Hill, Culcaigrie Loch and Loch Whinyeon. Of course, we have our own private beach if you prefer water sports.

Within the surrounding local area, we are very lucky to have several tourist towns and villages offering something for everyone to enjoy while holidaying at Sandgreen.  Whether arts, crafts and museums are your thing, or you enjoy golf, birdwatching, historical buildings and history, or simply enjoying some good food – Dumfries and Galloway is a little gem that can offer this and much much more.

No Luggage Allowance

Unlike holidaying abroad – we may not be able to guarantee the weather – but we can guarantee a beautiful location which you can easily reach by car and the best part – no luggage allowance, security or passport checks to endure! 

One of the best parts of owning a holiday home at Sandgreen is you can enjoy spur of the moment escapes, at the drop of a hat, whenever you fancy!  Had a rather taxing week at work?  Clock out on a Friday evening and you can be in your Happy Place at Sandgreen within a few hours and enjoy a stress free, relaxing weekend to revive yourself, ready for a busy Monday morning at work.  Pack a bag with what you need, and the rest is waiting for you here.  Our customers quite often have items, clothing, etc they leave in their holiday home here to use when they holiday to reduce, even further, any small amount of packing you may need to do.

Stunning Beach

Our beach at Sandgreen is one of the best in the region.  Our sandy beach is kept clean, is very flat, and has a gradual shore meaning there are no big drop offs when you are enjoying a swim in the sea and you can still enjoy a paddle in water even when the tide is not in, if you are happy to walk out a little. 

Our beach is a hive of activity in the summer with customers enjoying swimming, sailing, paddleboarding, canoeing and kayaking.  As we have a range of different activities happening on our beach at the one time, for everyone’s safety, our beach is split into three lanes; one for motorboats; one for sailing, canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding; and one for swimming only. 

If you are not into water sports, our beach still has more than enough to offer you!  Grab a beach towel, a good book and a picnic and wile away the hours relaxing, listening to the waves lap up onto the shore. 

For our four-legged friends, our beach is a dog’s heaven!  Whether it be finding a stick or driftwood, to digging their best hole yet or having a swim or paddle in the sea, our doggy customers highly recommend Sandgreen beach!  We do ask that dogs are kept on the lead through the day to protect everyone else on the beach, and also to protect your dog, however, you can let your dog off the lead for a good run around the beach between the hours of 9pm and 8am.

Relax & Unwind

Sandgreen is a very special holiday park.  Where we do not offer any evening entertainment, club houses, or bars; our customers come here for peace, quiet and to truly relax. 

The only noisy neighbours you may have on an occasion is an owl, pheasant, badger or fox. 

Sandgreen is the place you come to escape the ordinary life, switch off from work or home worries or stresses, and take time for and look after yourself. 

The children who come to Sandgreen are shown a different life and social life to sitting in their bedrooms on games consoles, or chatting with friends on social media; they come and meet new friends from all over the country, enjoy good old fashioned kids’ fun.  Whether that be building sandcastles, playing at the park, or having races on their bicycles, Sandgreen is the place to take it all back to basics and enjoy the “good old life”.
