What customers say
Cracking views, especially Ailsa Craig, and handy for the beach. Staff are sound, the tea room’s grand. Facilities mostly clean, could do with a spruce. Main grumble is the road noise, can be a bit much. Still, a grand spot for a break or a base, lots would go back.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Really enjoyed the break
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Loved the location, everyone there was very friendly and helpful.
Disliked Maybe the owners could open a wee shop for basic groceries, as it was a half hour drive to the nearest asda.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Small site with a lovely cafe and right over the road from the beach. The covered area for use by campers is great.
The small field had level pitches, check in was very easy.
Disliked Showers needed a clean and road noise overnight

Balkenna is on
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great pitch looking over to Ailsa Craig. Carpark close to camping area is very convenient. Balkenna is on the south Ayrshire coast, the south Ayrshire coast is the best. Convenient for Cuzlean Counrty park, the Electric Brae, and great roads and locations to explore.

Well run and friendly business.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Staff were super helpful and down to earth. Had a good laugh. (Lyndsey)
Views over to Ailsa Craig were stunning.
The Cafe is brilliant, will be stopping by for sure.
Disliked Camping maybe a little too close to the road for most people’s comfort. Pack them earplugs.
Initial pitch (15) wasn’t the best, we moved to no.5 which was way better and next to shower block/ toilets.

A bit expensive charge for dogs nothing
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Site was nice and clean but very small
Disliked Payment of 45 pounds for my dogs. Nothing not even a dog field or dog shower. Felt it was quite expensive for what you got.
If you are going to charge for dogs you should at least have something for them
