Very pleased with our fist camping trip in over 20 years

Aug 2026

Liked This was our first stay here. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The view we had of Ilsa Craig was amazing and the food in the cafe was lovely. We would def come back for another weekends stay.

Disliked The only downside would be the traffic noise, but this can’t be helped, as it is a busy main road.

From the manager: Thank you for choosing Balkenna for your first camping trip in more than 20 years. It is lovely to hear that the team made you feel welcome and that you enjoyed the view across to Ailsa Craig and the food in the tearoom. The coastal outlook is one of the things that makes the park special. We appreciate your fair comment about the road. The A77 is convenient for reaching us and exploring the Ayrshire coast, although traffic can sometimes be heard. Where availability allows, we are always happy to help guests find a position farther from the road. We are delighted that you would stay again and hope to welcome you back for another weekend.
