It is strongly recommended that accommodation is booked for each night, particularly if there are more than two in your party, or if you are planning to walk in the height of the summer season or at bank holidays (remember that some bank holidays are different in Scotland from those in England – it is best to check on this before setting out). An official SUW Accommodation Guide, produced by the SUW Ranger Services, can be found on the SUW website at www.southernuplandway.gov.uk. This contains details of hotel, B&B, hostel, campsite and self-catering accommodation on or in the vicinity of the SUW, including those that offer crucial pick-ups and drop-offs from remote road crossings along the Way. Local Tourist Information Centres (see Appendix D) will provide more information on accommodation possibilities and book accommodation, if required.

There are campsites with facilities on or close to the SUW at Portpatrick (Stage 1), Bargrennan (Glentrool Holiday Park – Stage 3), Beattock (Craigielands – Stage 8), Moffat (Stage 9), Innerleithen (Stage 10) and Lauder (Thirlestane Campsite – Stage 12). Tibbie Shiels Inn (Stage 9) may allow camping on their land, and ‘no facilities’ camping is normally available in Dalry (Stage 5). Note that Caldons Campsite, Loch Trool (Stage 4) is now permanently closed. Details of other places where there are campsites with facilities, or where it is permitted to camp, are usually given in the SUW website.
