Kippford View Holiday Park is a small, privately-owned hillside park on the Dumfries and Galloway coast, overlooking the Urr estuary and a short walk from Palnackie village with its friendly local pub and popular community café.
Formerly known as Barlochan Caravan Park, Kippford View has been part of the Gillespie Leisure Group since 1982, over four decades as a well-kept, quietly-loved corner of the Solway coast.

Where Owners Return Year After Year
Holiday home ownership at Kippford View means a plot with an estuary outlook, neighbours who tend to return year after year, and a setting that puts Kippford village, Dalbeattie Forest and the wider Solway coast all within easy reach. Owners here tend to be the kind of people who'd rather walk down to the Glenisle in Palnackie for dinner than drive anywhere, and who come back as much for the view over the Urr out to Kippford as they do for the caravan.

A rolling selection of holiday caravans from manufacturers we trust, sited on the hillside and ready to take on. Two- and three-bedroom layouts, decking that makes the most of the slope, and pitches that either look out over the Urr estuary or sit back among the trees, whichever suits you better.
View Holiday Caravans For SaleKippford View has been charging site fees the same straightforward way for forty-plus years, one clear annual figure for your pitch, the upkeep of the park, and full use of everything on site. Nothing buried in small print, nothing that catches owners off guard at renewal. If you’ve owned at another park and been burned by creeping costs, the contrast will feel refreshing.
Climb the hill with us, catch the view down to the estuary, and meet a team whose roots on this site go back to 1982 when it was still Barlochan. Take as long as you like, most visits end with a cup of tea in the reception caravan and a proper chat about the park itself.
Arrange a Visit
Look over the current stock, online first, or straight on park if you'd rather. We'll help you figure out whether an estuary-facing plot or a more sheltered pitch further up the hill suits you best, and how the layouts compare once you're actually standing inside them.

The team looks after siting on your chosen plot, the paperwork, connections and handover. Your first night tends to be a low-key one, kettle on, windows open to the estuary air, and the keys quietly yours by the time the sun goes down over the Urr that evening.
