First Visit

This part of Scotland was new to us. As we have a motorhome we like sites where you can leave the van on site and explore by foot or by bus and this site fits that bill. It has a lovely wooded surroundings which belies the fact that you are in an urban environment. As for facilities I think the toilet block is overdue for a refurbishment. Perfectly clean of course as you would expect but old fashioned. I particularly disliked the level of lighting and a small amount of investment it could be improved with the use of LED lights. Good to see an open grill motorhome waste point but surely the positioning at the very end of the layby could be better? We walked into the town a couple of times and also out to the seashore. We only discovered there were instructions on a short cut into town the second time! Ayr has a pretty good shopping centre and there are a couple of larger supermarkets nearby. You could take the train to Glasgow from Ayr as the station is not too far from the site.

Extremely impressive site

First time staying on this site and definitely will be back. Greeted by welcoming happy staff, who are so helpful, nothing is a bother. The park is well laid out and well presented . Toilets / Showers immaculate and thoroughly cleaned daily. Pitches are large. It is well positioned to walk into Ayr. Definitely will return. Thanks to the staff

First class staff and spotless

Stayed here for 3 nights and it was first class, spotless, the manager Mick and his staff could not do enough to help us out as we are new to motorhomeing. The site was great for everything from getting in and around Ayr as well as touring around. The site was spotlessly clean as were the grounds and all grass areas and flowers were well looked after. I big thank you to Mick and his team.

Our favourite site. Return every year!

This is our favourite club site mostly because of the location. Ideal site for guests with dogs. Great walks just off site along both sides of the river without having to go near a road and it’s an easy walk to town and the beach. Also great country parks such as Roselle, Eglington and Dean Country Parks all with great dog walks and within short drives. The wardens welcome you like old friends and never pass by you without a greeting. They keep the on-site facilities spotless however the toilet and shower blocks are long overdue modernisation. The site grounds are also well tended by them. Their check in process is the best! They meet you at the barrier with their list of bookings then you return to the office once you’ve chosen your pitch to make payment and collect barrier key. The on-site security is great as entry and exit are both barrier controlled. Ayr itself is rather run down but most towns are nowadays but there’s still all the main shops to browse. The beach is spotless with lots of free parking on the beach access road. We visit this site every year and will definitely continue to do so.

Ideal for exploring in and around Ayre

Stayed here in early April and cose to stay on pitch 72 which is at the far end of the site and found it to be a quiet spot. Pleasant site with just a short walk alongside the river into Ayre. We were almost put off staying here due to some reviews saying Ayre being run down and lots of homeless people on the streets. We found the opposite, no homeless people and the town was no more run down than many other town’s and cities around the country. Everyone we met was very friendly and Ayre itself had some fabulous architecture, monument’s and a wealth of history. We would be more than happy to visit again and explore more of the surrounding area.

Well run Site

Nicest friendliest and down to earth wardens we have ever met. Lots of suggestions on places of interest, walks from site & where the dog friendly pubs are located. Nothing too much trouble for Mick, Christine, Phil & Jackie.

Not sure I’ll hurry back.

Just similar to other reviews. Site is fine but the town centre is remarkably run down. Lot of homelessness, litter, so many closed shops and not a pleasant walk to get there either. Not a long walk to Morrisons if you need anything although you take your life in your hands on the road system getting there. No convenience store or take aways nearby that I could find. Quite noisy on site during the day, I couldn’t quite work out where the noise was coming from but a loud party on the estate across the road I think. For an overnight or as a base for further afield no issue.

Great site but getting somewhat tired

This is our 3rd visit to this site and it doesn’t disappoint. Great wardens and very clean and tidy site. The shower and toilet facilities need to be upgraded but this does not distract from the attraction of this site. The wardens do an excellent job with what they have to work with so hats off to them. Looking to be back soon and to soak up that sunshine on millionaires row.

Lovely but a little bit tired

We both like Ayr site a lot , wardens lovely, spotlessly clean our only negative is the toilets etc are now looking very tired. This would not put us off visiting again, and yes the town is very like most towns today, boarded up or closed but…. I will still visit!

Well kept site

This site was a stop gap for us as we were travelling around Scotland. The site itself is absolutely beautiful, very well kept and clean throughout. Couldn’t fault it. The staff were friendly and helpful. The facilities were as you would expect of a CAMC site, clean and well looked after, covid safe etc. The only downside was the city of Ayr, but this is most likely my personal opinion, the streets were dirty (dog mess & litter) it is clear there is a degree of poverty in the area, shops were boarded up and closed, again covid is to blame for this I guess. This has absolutely no bearing on the CAMC and this site at all, I just wanted to mention it because I’m being honest. The site is lovely and we would return to the site should we need to, however we would not leave site for sight seeing.
