Balkenna Caravan Park

Turnberry, Ayrshire, Scotland

Motorhome or campervan site
Powered grass caravan site

I cannot find fault with the place, absolutely 10/10

Sept 2026

Liked This was my first ever trip in my van, I chose this place as I’d been past it a few times in my lorry and liked the look of it, so thought it perfect to “break myself in” When I arrived, a delightful lady gave me a tour of the site and showed me to my pitch, she was extremely welcoming and seemed genuinely interested that this was my first trip. After I set up I sat for a few hours outside the van with a few beers, it was perfect. It’s quite exposed being so close to the shore, but, I knew this before I booked and loved the wind and rain against the side of the van while I was in bed. The shower and toilet block is absolutely immaculate! They also have a sink area for washing your dishes etc. I went into the tearoom the next morning for breakfast, again, this was outstanding. I can’t wait to come back.

Disliked Absolutely nothing.

From the manager: Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Tom. We’re delighted Balkenna was the setting for your first van trip and that our welcome, sea view, spotless facilities and tearoom breakfast all helped make it such a good one. Your kind words about the staff mean a great deal to the whole team. We can’t wait to welcome you back.
