Hardstanding and grass tent pitches with electric hookup

New

Adults-only pitches in a peaceful Ayrshire walled garden
Girvan beach and boat trips 15 minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Ayr
In a certified dark-skies area for excellent stargazing

Lovely views by day, fabulous dark skies by night – and a truly peaceful atmosphere at all hours. That’s the rather tempting offering at The Walled Garden Touring Park, an adults-only site in rural Ayrshire about 10 minutes’ drive from Maybole. As the name suggests, pitches here are set in an attractive walled garden that’s part of the historic Kilkerran Estate – a location that provides both shelter and some lovely greenery and trees as the backdrop for your stay. There’s an electric hookup for each pitch, and you’ll also have access to shared facilities including a laundry room, a washing-up area, a fridge and a freezer. Toilets and showers are provided, and there’s also a chemical disposal point for the tourers. There’s a very peaceful atmosphere at this park, so you should really be able to relax as you stoke your barbecue in the evening and wait for the stars to come out. This is a certified dark-skies area so you should be in for a treat (as long as the clouds behave…). By day, you may like to start with a short stroll to the nearby waterfall before heading out into the wider area for some time hiking, cycling or exploring the region’s castles. Ayr is about 20 minutes’ drive away for some town time, and it’s a 15-minute journey to Girvan for the beach, coast walks and boat trips to Ailsa Craig. Dogs are welcome at the park, so feel free to bring them along to help you explore this quiet corner of the Scottish countryside.

What customers say

This quiet adults-only spot's a gem in a beautiful walled garden. Guests rave about the helpful staff, big pitches, and spotless facilities. Great for relaxing with woodland walks nearby. Minor gripes: weak shower pressure, muddy paths when wet, and not much shade. Manager's working on upgrades.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful setting, pitches were large and the facilities immaculately clean and well maintained. The owners were friendly and helpful offering to give details of local walks etc. Would happily have stayed longer than the 2 nights we booked. Good location if catching a ferry to Arran.

Disliked It was quite a long walk to the facilities block, but it did get my steps totals up!

Electric hardstanding and grass touring caravan pitch

Liked Quiet and Wifi

Disliked Roads to campsite were very bumpy. The car & caravan ended up filthy. Site more for seasonal campers. A bit remote. Pitches poor, not level & not easy to pitch caravan. Also have to go over grass, even though hard pitch! Facilities were unique in appearance but not modern enough.

Local attractions

This part of the world is sometimes nicknamed the ‘Ayrshire Alps’, and it’s an excellent area for days of hiking and mountain biking – some of it pretty challenging, it should be said. There are gentler walks and bike rides to be had nearby too, along with other outdoor activities like horse riding, fishing and golf. The Galloway Forest Park (20 minutes’ drive) is a particularly good spot for some time spent among woodland and lake scenery – but don’t head home too early as this is also a Gold-Tier Dark Sky Park (the first in the UK to be designated as such, in fact). Bring your telescope or binoculars along, or see if any tours and events are being run by the Dark Sky Rangers. To take in some of the area’s heritage, head to places like Culzean Castle and Souter Johnnies Cottage or spend some time in Ayr, visiting the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum (all 20 minutes away). Over at the coast, Girvan’s sandy beach (15 minutes) is a nice place to visit, and there are boat trips to wildlife-rich Ailsa Craig.
