We stayed here after a long drive from Scotland. Site staff and owners very friendly and helpful - we had to change our booking date last minute and they were happy to facilitate. The location is great to explore Gretna and shops and restaurants within walking distance. It's not a remote campsite. Facilities clean and perfectly usable but felt shower/toilets are a little outdated vs some other places we stayed, but, as mentioned, very clean and usable.

What's not to love? Whichever border you are on going North or South, this is a little stop off/stay that ticks the boxes.
