  • Quiet dog-friendly site surrounded by the Ayrshire countryside
  • A 40-minute drive from Ayr beach; 45 minutes from Loch Bradan
  • Alpaca trekking and free use of a metal detector available on site
Away to Ayrshire for hiking-ready countryside, lochs, clear skies – and exotic neighbours? Then pack your bags for a stay at The Wee Caravan Park, a quiet dog-friendly site in the Ayrshire countryside, where you'll be sharing your space with a friendly herd of alpacas. From this spot just outside New Cumnock, you’ll be well based to break into Burns country, with Ayr beach 40 minutes’ drive away and Loch Bradan 45 minutes’ drive away. The South West 300 route is also a short drive away. Where will you be settling down? Well, the pitches are part of an area of land fenced off from Laneburn, with your woolly neighbours in the adjacent field and alpaca trekking and meet-and-greet activities available on site. Fresh water is provided and logs and kindling are available upon request; both barbecues and firepits are allowed. Dogs (on a lead) are welcome, and children too – so you won’t need to leave anyone behind. And it should be easy to fill your time with activities for all: there are lots of top spots for a picnic on site, hilly footpaths nearby and a free metal detector is available for budding treasure hunters. While things are peaceful around the site, there’s a little buzz down in New Cumnock. The town, five minutes’ drive away, has a food shop, Chinese and Indian takeaways (deliveries available to the site), a chemist, petrol station, outdoor swimming pool and bakery, so you won’t have too hard a task finding your essentials.

What customers say

Peaceful, simple spot on an alpaca farm. Praised for amazing country views & super-friendly hosts Craig & Kerry. Loved meeting & feeding the alpacas. Level pitches, fire pits for a chill vibe. Basic facilities, but guests would definitely return.

Unpowered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Stayed at the Wee Caravan Park for one night and could honestly say I wish I could have stayed longer. From arrival being greeted by the friendly owner was immediately made to feel welcome. Even got to feed the alpacas The site is perfect for getting away from every day hustle and bustle of every day life. Great country side views with alpacas as neighbours a real fire and a few beers for company while watching the stars it’s what life is all about
Highly recommended

Liked The views, the animals and the people here are exactly what you want for a great trip. This wee campsite is like wild camping with bells on. I say that because the campsite is an enclosed field surrounded by nature and beauty. They don’t have water/electric facilities but Craig and Kerry are so welcoming and kind that we didn’t even care! We were lucky enough to meet the alpacas in the morning. They were lovely but what struck me more was the care they had been given by Craig and Kerry. It’s glaringly obvious they care so deeply for all the animals around them. We would love to stay here again, if not for the beauty and character then for the peaceful night sleep.
I highly recommend if that isn’t already obvious

Liked Peaceful, great for the dogs and wonderful views. I've stayed a few times now and it never disappoints. Good sized pitches with a picnic table at each and use of a fire pit. Love seeing the herons at dusk and this time there were baby alpacas in the herd. Perfect place to relax and recharge.

Unpowered concrete and grass tent site

Liked Lovely peaceful location with alpacas in the next door field. Friendly and helpful owners. Interesting to learn about the alpacas and their wool from owner Kerry who creates beautiful textiles and warm hats, scarves and accessories from their herd. Incredible night skies when the clouds cleared and it was nice to be able to use an onsite fire pit to keep warm while stargazing.

Liked Great stay again at The Wee Caravan park, ideal location to get away from it all with countryside views and fire pit available. Children, 10,8 and 1 loved the Alpacas. Drinking water available and facilities as described. Good phone signal for hotspot. As their is no limit on pitch size, perfect for my first use of the inflatable, wood burning stove Holawild Machu Pichu tent.

Local attractions

Admiring Ayrshire’s dark skies is easy at the Loch Bradan (45 minutes’ drive) dark sky park, and classic seaside days can be had Ayr beach (40 minutes). As for Robert Burns fans, take yourself away to the Burns House Museum (25 minutes), the Highland Mary's Monument (25 minutes) and Bachelors' Club (half an hour), a 17th-century thatched cottage frequently visited by the man himself. Add a few historical sites into the mix, beginning with the 18th-century house and estate at Dumfries House (15 minutes) or steam train rides on the Leadhills and Wanlockhead Railway (45 minutes). There’s the Museum of Lead Mining (40 minutes) if you’re interested in the industrial side of things. Drumlanrig Castle (40 minutes) makes a splendid – and very original – setting for hiking and mountain biking too. Digger driver for the day? Blackstone Clydesdales (20 minutes) has digging experiences and horse riding activities. In New Cumnock (five minutes), there’s also an open-air swimming pool, a golf course and a heritage trail, as well as access to a walking path network where you can stroll as far and as wide as you like.
