  • Well-equipped holiday park among Ayr's 30+ castles
  • Indoor pool, solarium, wildlife trails and kids' clubs for ages 4-15
  • Entertainment venue, bar-restaurant and fish and chip shop
Hmmm, here’s a compelling conundrum for someone at Sundrum Castle Holiday Park: with more than 30 cracking castles tucked into the landscape around Ayr, which on earth should you visit first? And even if you stay on site, it’s decisions, decisions thanks to the packed programme of entertainment and activities at all hours of the day. Ditherers, you have been warned. Daytime choices include a splash about on the flume at the indoor pool, a relaxing session in the solarium, 10-pin bowling, a round of crazy golf, a deerstalking stroll around the wildlife trails, or a game of five-a-side or basketball. For kids, there’s a mind-boggling selection of fun sessions in the kids’ clubs for ages four to 15. As night falls, take your pick of competitions, live music, cabaret, dancing and comedy in the on-site entertainment venue. As for food, the Tam O’Shanter bar-restaurant has a comprehensive set of food and drink options including freshly brewed Costa Coffee, or you could just grab a bite from the fish and chip shop. So, if you’re after an unspoilt country setting close to fab beaches and some of Scotland’s top tourist attractions, Sundrum Castle Holiday Park may well be the spot. (Phew, at least that's one decision made…)

What customers say

Reviewers enjoyed friendly staff and good facilities, with families loving the entertainment. Downsides: grubby loos, pricey food/drink, dodgy Wi-Fi. Pitches were sometimes muddy, with noise a bother for some.

Unpowered grass tent site (no pets)

Liked I'm struggling to think of anything...

Disliked Stupid code for toilet block that nobody can remember... Hardly ideal for young children when camping. Facilities are pretty poor and rundown, litter everywhere, the camping grass is a bog and in a slope so not ideal... Also everyone seems so unfriendly. Staff all looked like they longed to be somewhere else.... And I don't really blame them. Groups of teenagers and adults with the roughest foul language all day long in the football pitch and in the bar.... It could be okay but nobody really seems that bothered that it's not.

Wouldn't advise this place for families of younger children unless you want them to learn lots of abysmal language before thier ready.. 'why does that dad keep calling his kid a dildo'? What's a dildo? One of several examples I'm keen to forget.

Liked They have a lot of things to do, nice camping for family’s.

Disliked The sanitary facilities were not clean et all. Most of the toilets weren’t working great anymore and were out of toilet paper. You would not expect this since 1 night costs more then 30 pounds.

Disliked Noisy. Pitches are too close to the bar and music at night was very loud. Emptying of bottles at night was loud and bar deliveries in the morning. Unable to camp as a group

Don't visit if you want a quiet relaxing time in a clean site.

Liked Nothing

Disliked Dirty. Toilet block wasn't checked the entire time we were there. Used sanitary towel on men's room floor for the duration, and no toilet roll. Swimming pool, we were only allowed 45mins on our first day, and no time on our check out day.

Local attractions

How to pick from the 30 or so castles close to Sundrum Castle Holiday Park? For sheer magnitude plus dramatic ocean views, try Culzean Castle, which sits in 600 acres a few miles south of Ayr. Those with kids in tow should head for Kelburn Castle, with its secret forest walkways, crocodile swamp, petting zoo and play barn; keen golfers meanwhile will appreciate the course at Rowallan Castle, which has an actual 19th hole (as well as the more traditional variety). Treat yourselves to a day at the races in nearby Ayr, also great for shopping and beaches, and home to Pirate Pete’s, where you’ll find Scotland’s biggest indoor play area, as well as outdoor rides, a laser zone and a cute traditional seafront café. Other popular day trips include a trip across the water to the stunning Isle of Arran; a pilgrimage to the Burns National Heritage Park to visit the Bard’s cottage and the neighbouring museum, and a cuddle-filled day out at the Heads of Ayr Farm Park.
