Wake up to views over the Firth of Clyde and the Isle of Arran at Heads of Ayr Holiday Park, a friendly family-run site in southern Scotland. With a coastal location, a family-friendly feel and close proximity to a number of bays and beaches, it makes an excellent base for getting out and about on the Ayrshire coast. The site is just off the A719 coastal route, a handy location that makes it quick and easy to head south to Culzean Castle (20 minutes) or north to Ayr town centre (15 minutes), coastal golf courses (20 minutes) and Ardrossan (40 minutes), where you can catch ferries to the Isle of Arran or to the tip of the Kintyre Peninsula. Facilities here include toilets, showers, internet access, a food shop and a play area. Well-behaved dogs (on leads) are welcome. Away from base, more family-friendly entertainment is on hand a mile away at Heads of Ayr Farm Park, a fun park with boats, tractor rides, trampolines and lots of furry animals. When your mind turns to more practical matters, just head into Ayr for supermarkets, restaurants, takeaways and a railway station.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (large)

Liked: The site was excellent. Evwy pit h had its own electricity hookup, water and waste points. The site had free WiFi good enough to watch Netflix etc. The facilities were first class an the staff were so helpful and friendly. Excellent views of the coast and Arran when the weather was clear, and a 5 min walk from the beach.

Disliked: We fell unlucky with the weather, the wind was so strong, and the site isn't really very sheltered, but that isn't the fault of the site.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (large)

Liked: Excellent facilities, the staff are amazing but you HAVE to walk the short walk to Bracken Bay… the most peaceful, idyllic beach you’ve ever seen. A waterfall behind you, the gently lapping waves in front and absolutely no other sounds. West facing, so take some insect repellent, a drink and your camera…

Local attractions

Bracken Bay beach, a spacious sandy spot with shallow waters, is about a five-minute walk down a footpath from the site that's well worth visiting. Once here, it's easy to join the Ayrshire Coastal Path and head south to Dunure and its castle via quiet countryside along the clifftop (or you can drive there in about 10 minutes). To the north, the Victorian seaside resort of Ayr (15 minutes' drive) is well worth a visit for a stroll along the seafront and to stop for fish and chips (Marco's is particularly tasty). The area surrounding the town also has a racecourse (15 minutes) and the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum (10 minutes), where you can see the bard's cottage plus manuscripts, books and artwork. Day trips from Ardrossan ferry terminal (40 minutes) include jaunts to the Isle of Arran or the Kintyre Peninsula in Argyll, which feels very much like an island despite being attached to mainland Scotland. For a total change of scene, it's also possible to drive to Glasgow (an hour) for trips to fab free museums like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery or Riverside Museum and its hundreds of transport-related artefacts.
