  • Scenic family-run smallholding site 10 minutes' drive from Largs
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of ferries to Great Cumbrae and Bute
  • Collect and buy fresh eggs from the flock of free-range hens on site
Some will be making a swift stopover on a Scotland tour, others looking to settle in for a lengthier Largs-based break; South Whittlieburn Farm’s owner Katie is happy to welcome all sorts of guests at her family-run Ayrshire smallholding. Bag a spot here in the stunning Brisbane Glen to share the place with the horses and ponies that graze the surrounding fields, and a flock of free-range hens that generously provide fresh eggs for guests to collect and purchase for a farm breakfast. If your own animal pal fancies coming along for the ride, dogs are welcome here – the little farm track that runs by Noddsdale Water lends itself well to paw-stretching outings. Noted those stunning views from the site? (If not, skip off to flick through pics at this point…) They give you a bit of a clue that this is a most scenic area, whether facing inland towards the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park or out to sea and the Firth of Clyde. Getting down to the seaside is fairly straightforward, as the popular resort of Largs is a 10-minute drive away – home to lots of shops and places to eat as well as a viking centre, boat trips and a splendid seaview golf course.

What customers say

This friendly, family-run farm campsite offers a relaxed atmosphere with beautiful rural surroundings, a short drive from Largs. Guests loved the clean, modern facilities and interacting with the friendly farm animals, a hit with kids. The on-site food truck was popular. Most reviews were very positive, though some noted spotty cell service and minor issues with pitch allocation/washroom cleanliness during peak times.

Liked We liked all the farm animals especially the goats - all used to human company. This is a working farm, so one must expect a little dirt but there needs to be a dedicated cleaning team for the toilets and shower areas to get the underlying areas clean. The grass pitch areas were very nice and grass well tended and staff were nice and friendly.

Disliked We didn't like the motorhome area which is where we were, with it's large 35mm gravel. This was black and broken down by the motorhomes driving over it making it very dirty and not easy to walk on...had to bath the dog when we got home!
The farm is well out of Largs and one would certainly need some transport to get into town.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Location nice, farm animals wandering freely are enjoyed by the children.

Disliked All pitches are on a hill, we couldn't get remotely level even with the blocks under our motorhome wheels.

Toilets/showers were filthy - giving the impression they hadn't been properly cleaned for the whole season. We've been travelling around Scotland since July and these are by far the dirtiest facilities we've seen.

Shame, because this place has potential to be a nice little site.

Powered grass tent campsite (large)

Liked Amazing campsite just outside of Largs. Great if you are travelling with a young family because of all the animals on the farm. My two sons loved the horses, donkeys, chickens and Shetland Ponies. Katie and her family are really friendly and very helpful everything. Stunning location, surrounded by hills.

So peaceful and quiet throughout the entire stay. If you are there for a weekend, the food van is a must for breakfast and dinner.

Local attractions

Got the urge to flex your golfing arms? As well as the course in Largs, there are several other courses along this stretch of coastline – Royal Troon, Prestwick and Gailes Links courses are all within an hour’s drive. If you’re more into watching sports than thwacking golf balls, aim for Ayr’s racecourse (an hour’s drive away). Sticking a little closer to home, plan a bit of time in Largs – wandering along the promenade, getting into the viking spirit at the Vikingar Centre or having a bit of splash time in the swimming pool. Just outside town (15 minutes’ drive from the site) is Kelburn Castle, a mural-adorned ancient pile whose estate has a waterfall to hike to, a sculpture trail to stroll along and (shhh…) a secret forest to seek out. Looking longingly beyond Largs? Board a ferry from the harbour to the island of Great Cumbrae for bike rides and watersports, or head to Wemyss Bay (20 minutes) for the boat to Bute. Either way, keep eyes out for seals and seabirds lounging along the shoreline.
