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

This family-run farm campsite near Largs earns praise for friendly hosts and a peaceful setting. Guests love the roaming animals, clean facilities, and level pitches. The food truck is a hit. Some note limited amenities, occasional weekend noise, and poor cell signal. Facilities have improved.

Liked This is a lovely little site set in beautiful countryside. Nice flat fields for campers , Facalities excellent like having your own bathroom, clean and well maintained. We have a motorhome,pitch was fine, we walked into Largs from site as there is no public transport. The family who own the farm are lovely. Big plus food van on site which is excellent. Food is as good as any restaurant and well presented. Well done to the budding chef.

Liked Site was in a good location, staff very friendly during check in and the animals on site were good fun

Disliked Showers/facilities were very tired and needing some TLC. No hot water in kitchen during our stay.

Quiet hours were not enforced - my husband had to ask another tent to stop playing guitar and singing at 1am

Liked If you are looking for a campsite to just slow down and relax then you will be delighted with South Whittlieburn Farm.
There is absolutely nothing to do at South Whittlieburn Farm but to unwind and enjoy the beautiful view of the farm lands.
There is even a shiny silver retro caravan parked up that serves some really delicious food so you don't even have to cooked.
It is also close enough to the town centre if you feel like an ice-cream and a walk along the promenade.
The toilets are clean and the water pressure in the showers are amazing, it's even better than my shower at home.
My daughter enjoyed walking around the farm and loved spending time with the horses.
The owners are friendly and welcoming.

Disliked Midges. Just pack midgie spray and you will be sorted.

Liked We came with our 2 daughters (19&13) and mum, and also our big dog Awesome couple of days, owners and staff very friendly. Very clean. We loved every minute of our stay
So calming and peaceful apart from the rooster 🐓 waking everyone up 😆 but it's part of farm life we loved it and thought it was so funny. Can't wait to book next year.

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.
