Why stay here ...
A warm welcome awaits you on our family run tranquil site set within a traditional, stone-built small holding on the edge of the market town of Maybole, Ayrshire.
The site is open all year. We offer a choice of hard standing or well-drained level grass pitches (grass pitches are for stays of no longer than 7 days), surrounded by a patchwork of rolling green countryside attracting wildlife such as deer, grey heron and barn owls. Many previous guests have remarked on the immaculate condition of the site. All pitches have electric hook-up (16 amp) with access to a new toilet block with shower, toilet and wash basin. Adults and children are welcome as are well behaved dogs.
The local shop is found less than a mile into Maybole. Other amenities include a supermarket, cafes, pubs and restaurants which are found within the High Street running from the imposing town hall, built in 1887, to the equally impressive Maybole Castle.
Sporting opportunities include a swimming pool, a 9-hole golf course with splendid views across the Carrick Hills and scenic golf courses in Turnberry (8 miles) and Royal Troon (17miles). Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy the well-stocked trout pool in Loch Mochrum (3 miles). Culzean castle and country park (5.5 miles) is a National Trust property set in acres of woodland, including five kilometres of coastline, caves, rock pools and sand and shingle beaches. The castle is a remarkable vision of turrets and battlements and well worth a visit.
The local train and bus station (1 mile) offer easy access to other places of interest. The closest town to Maybole is Ayr (9 miles) with sandy beaches, excellent shopping facilities, theatres and restaurants. The village of Alloway(8 miles), the birth place of Robert Burns is a must for fans of the Scottish Bard. Further afield sits the vibrant city of Glasgow (40 miles) with its many museums and interesting architecture. There are many picturesque villages to be found in the area such as Straiton (6 miles), the beautiful little village of stone cottages where you can enjoy many fine walks and the idyllic harbour village of Dunure (7.5miles) with stunning views across the ruins of Dunure castle and out to the Ailsa Craig in the Clyde.
For an introduction to the world of Scotch whiskey visit the whiskey experience in the village of Kirkoswald (5 miles). In the summer months a boat excursion aboard the Waverly Paddle Steamer, the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world, allows you to explore the Lochs and Islands of the West coast of Scotland including the Isle of Arran otherwise known as “Scotland in Miniature”. Or head south towards Stranraer to board the Stenaline ferry to enjoy a day trip to Northern Ireland.
Whatever you decide to do during your visit we look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful part of South West Scotland and wish you a pleasant and memorable stay.

So Enjoyable
Auchenwynd
Stayed for one night on one of the few dry and sunny days of the year so far. What an excellent find.
The service facilities are immaculate (water, grey, black and rubbish disposal) and the toilet/ shower block clean.
Got a warm welcome on arrival and enjoyed a great peaceful stay in a lovely location.
If you're looking for a stopover in this area, make this your choice. Terrific.
Short stopover on route to Skye
Auchenwynd
Only stopped for one night on our way to Skye. Pleasantly surprised at the tidy ness, layout, peace and quiet of the site.
There is a toilet and shower if you don’t have your own facilities, they are clean and do a job.
The site is lovely, the pitches are large and well maintained, very quiet and within walking distance of the town of Maybole. We marked it 3 on access to places of interest as we weren’t there long enough to to find out.
Learnt that there are something called Indian Running ducks, who knew? They, along with the chickens, sheep and cows made this a really homely site.
Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Very lovely site
Auchenwynd
We spent a week here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Pitches are a good size and the 4 hard standing spaces are very level.
The shower and WC room is very good and clean.
The site is close to the beaches - we had lovely walks on Turnberry, Croy, Troon and Barassie, all dog friendly and plenty of space. We also had a wonderful walk in the Galloway Forest Park, from Stinchar Bridge - so beautiful and very quiet.
We enjoyed a good meal at The Greenside in Maybole - very nice pizzas and great service.
The Fox and Willow in Alloway was also delightful with great food and a very nice welcome.
Would definitely recommend this site.

perfect
Auchenwynd
We chose this site as a stop over on our way to the highlands and it did not disappoint. Perfectly level pitches, clean toilet and shower and an enclosed wild play area for children. No excuse for CL pitches to be rough when you see how well kept this place is.
Would i return? Absolutely
Lovely site
Auchenwynd
Lovely, well kept site with fabulous views. We've been here for a week and received a very warm welcome on arrival. There are both hard standing and grass pitches to choose from with plenty of room to spread out. The toilet/shower room has always been clean and we really can't recommend this site enough.
