A lovely location but this is a car park!
Largs Yacht Haven
This CL is in the corner of the car park with metal barriers and a plastic sign to indicate it is the CL. Be prepared for people to walk through the pitch areas on the site and sit on the benches in front of the van or to exercise their dogs on the grass. In all fairness, they probably don't realise it's a site, and a very expensive one too! Facilities are shared with the berth holders and are what you would expect an an average campsite. Each pitch is about 2.5 car widths with hatch markings between and is the length of a car space so vans overhang the rear. We drove onto the pitch and overhung the rear (we are a 6.4m van). One neighbour pitched sideways so was overhanging the hatch marking both front and rear, this meant he was 2.5 metres from our van and our neighbour on the other side was 3 metres from our van. As the C&MC stipulate there must be a 6 metre fire break on their main sites, I am surprised that this rule does not appear to apply to CLs. Yes, the view was lovely and so was the nearby Kelburn Estate, but £40.00 a night is excessive and is not a site we would use again.

Yes it's expensive but there's not much choice within walking distance of Largs
Largs Yacht Haven
Excellent location and as it's part of the Largs Yacht Haven you pay top dollar. It's efficent and you don't need to meet any staff however they are on site 24/7. All the facilities are clean, plus you have Scott's Restaurant and another cafe which is good for breakfasts all on site.
Staff are friendly and with ANPR you are free to come and go as you please. Its quiet and the site has all the amenities you need. I used my Wastemaster to trundle the grey waste over to the disposal point. There is a self service laundry on site - we used Cumbrae Laundry at Millport, £15 to wash and dry a load as we couldn't find anywhere in Largs to do a service wash.
Whilst there are marked bays you can literally choose how you park - nose in, reverse in or go sideways alongside the kerb to get the best view - subject to how the other motorhomes/campers have parked. We had no issues with our 7.2m van.
If you stay for a few days you could use the free spot round the corner and then pay for a night to dump your waste and use the other facilities.
Beautiful views but a tad expensive for a CL
Largs Yacht Haven
All automated arrival by ANPR so never saw a soul. It is just a tarmac car park with a couple of removal barriers and is really for small motorhomes/campervans as pitches were very small.
Toilet block facilities were very clean and shared with boating community but not very many showers so had to sit and wait - not sure what it would be like in peak season.
As stated before, the chemical and grey waste isn’t near and quite tight to manoeuvre over.
The views are fantastic. The walk into Largs is easy along a paved pathway with views all along the route. Easy ferry over to Cumbrae £4 return and £3.50 return for the bus to take you into Millport. We’ve taken the bikes and cycled around the island before - about 10 easy miles.
It is expensive for what it is.

UpIs this the most expensive CL ever?
Largs Yacht Haven
Stayed here for one night as a retired couple in a MoHo. Whilst I realised the site was expensive, I thought it would be OK for one night. Yes there is a view over the water but you are in effect parked in a car park.
The shower facilities are shared with the yachting people, they are clean and in very good condition. The grey water & chemical loo point are a bit of a distance from where the pitches are, as are the bins.
The car park in marked out with 5 bays for CMC use , but the bays are not really long enough for anything over 5M the rear of the vehicle sticks out well past the marked space.
The sit was not as quiet as it could be, we had a number of modified cars running up and down making quite a noise,
Scott Restaurant on site served very good food.
Overall it is just a pitch in a rather expensive car park, definitely NOT worth £40 a night. About 100m before the entrance barrier is another car park, where MoHo park up overnight for free!
1st Class but becoming expensive
Largs Yacht Haven
The pitches are located with a view over to the Isle of Cumbrae.
Seals are seen regularly, dolphins occassionally and last year, basking sharks.
Nice 20 minute stroll on a walkway in to Largs.
Good facilities including 2 onsite eateries.
2 observations: the price is becoming expensive, I mentioned this to 2 staff members.
The grey waste outlet is not well located and requires careful manouvering to access.
