The road to Whittlieburn

  • Scenic family-run smallholding site 10 minutes' drive from Largs
  • Within 20 minutes' drive of ferries to Great Cumbrae and Bute
  • Collect and buy fresh eggs from the flock of free-range hens on site
Some will be making a swift stopover on a Scotland tour, others looking to settle in for a lengthier Largs-based break; South Whittlieburn Farm’s owner Katie is happy to welcome all sorts of guests at her family-run Ayrshire smallholding. Bag a spot here in the stunning Brisbane Glen to share the place with the horses and ponies that graze the surrounding fields, and a flock of free-range hens that generously provide fresh eggs for guests to collect and purchase for a farm breakfast. If your own animal pal fancies coming along for the ride, dogs are welcome here – the little farm track that runs by Noddsdale Water lends itself well to paw-stretching outings. Noted those stunning views from the site? (If not, skip off to flick through pics at this point…) They give you a bit of a clue that this is a most scenic area, whether facing inland towards the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park or out to sea and the Firth of Clyde. Getting down to the seaside is fairly straightforward, as the popular resort of Largs is a 10-minute drive away – home to lots of shops and places to eat as well as a viking centre, boat trips and a splendid seaview golf course.

What customers say

Friendly, family-run farm campsite in a peaceful rural spot near Largs. Guests love the welcoming hosts, clean modern facilities, and farm animals. Food van's a hit! Pitches are good, though mobile signal is weak. Some find parking tricky. Most highly recommend and plan to return.

Liked Lovely setting and owners. Really good toilet block which was clean. Pitch was easily accessible. Animals everywhere which the kids loved and were able to approach.

Disliked No logs available for fire but was easily sorted with a trip down the road.

Liked Great location, feels remote but close to Largs. Road in is very scenic!
Pitches are level and fresh water available. Facilities close by which is handy. Hosts very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend!
Lovely to do day trip over to Cumbrae (millport).

Disliked Signage can be a little confusing if coming in from scenic road. Looks like you should go down the hill, do not do this but park at farm house and reception is just beyond toilets.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked the humidity was quite high in late September. Even without rain, we had wet grass in the evening and some condensation inside the tent in the morning. But Such a quiet and peaceful place! The staff are so friendly, kind, and helpful with explaining everything. Honestly, this is the best toilet I've ever used—brand new and spotless. And the hot water shower? Better than my own home!
The donkey and cats were so sweet too. We will definitely be back!

Liked We loved our stay at Whittlebury farm. The owner, Katie, was very friendly. She was very accommodating with our dogs. The site itself was kept tidy and clean. It's a very relaxing place to stay. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking. Would definitely recommend this site to caravans, motor homes, tents ect...

Disliked Facilities could do with a bit of a spruce. The pitch we were allocated was very uneven with a mix of gravel, tar and concrete, not a great nights sleep

Local attractions

Got the urge to flex your golfing arms? As well as the course in Largs, there are several other courses along this stretch of coastline – Royal Troon, Prestwick and Gailes Links courses are all within an hour’s drive. If you’re more into watching sports than thwacking golf balls, aim for Ayr’s racecourse (an hour’s drive away). Sticking a little closer to home, plan a bit of time in Largs – wandering along the promenade, getting into the viking spirit at the Vikingar Centre or having a bit of splash time in the swimming pool. Just outside town (15 minutes’ drive from the site) is Kelburn Castle, a mural-adorned ancient pile whose estate has a waterfall to hike to, a sculpture trail to stroll along and (shhh…) a secret forest to seek out. Looking longingly beyond Largs? Board a ferry from the harbour to the island of Great Cumbrae for bike rides and watersports, or head to Wemyss Bay (20 minutes) for the boat to Bute. Either way, keep eyes out for seals and seabirds lounging along the shoreline.
