Welcome to Bridgend Campsite, a quiet retreat on the west coast of Arran. We’ve kept our site small and simple, ensuring that when you come here to "get away from it all," you actually have the breathing room to enjoy it.
We are located in the heart of the newly designated Arran UNESCO Global Geopark, only 2 miles away from the legendary King`s Caves, the mystical Machrie Moor Standing Stones, and the world-renowned Shiskine Golf Club in Blackwaterfoot.From the jagged granite peaks of the north to the ancient monoliths of the west, you are staying in a landscape 600 million years in the making.
Your days can be as active or as peaceful as you choose. Spend an afternoon teeing off at one of Arran’s seven unique golf courses, hitting the trails at the Dyemill mountain bike park, or wandering down to the Kings Caves. Between adventures, immerse yourself in `Arran’s Food Journey`—a true taste of the island, from local farm produce and artisan cheeses to a quiet dram at our two world-class distilleries.
Proper Pitches: Our main pitches are generously sized and thoughtfully spaced, giving you plenty of privacy and peace for your tent, van, or motorhome. West Coast Sunsets: With our west-facing position, we have some of the best seats on the island for watching the sun dip into the horizon —the perfect end to an active day. Real Island Hospitality: We take real pride in our site and our home. We’re here to ensure you have a clean, comfortable, and truly memorable stay. The Vibe: Relaxed, picturesque, and authentically Scottish. The Best Part: We’re a short drive from everything Arran has to offer, but far enough away to feel like a true escape.
