Boat Registration
Loch Ken is the ideal place to enjoy all water sports – windsurfing, sailing, rowing and canoeing. The loch is zoned for the different activities. A system of registration for all motorised craft is in force by Dumfries and Galloway council, who require the rules and conditions concerning zoning to be observed at all times.
The public access slipway for Loch Ken is conveniently located directly neighbouring the holiday park entrance meaning access is readily available to all guests making use of boats.
Please note all motorised boats must be registered before launching. This can be done at LOCH KEN HOLIDAY PARK 01644 470282

Great stay in our motor home, friendly staff, modern, clean facilities, plenty to do on site, play parks, fishing, boat hire, and a well stocked shop. An ideal base for touring the Galloway Forrest Park. We'll definitely return!

First stop on our motor home trip around Scotland and it set the standard for the rest of our camp site visits. A beautifully laid out site, quality amenities and great hosts, with a Loch-side position, it can't get much better!
