 Great site with great location - ideal for a couple of days of staying put and just walking or whatever activity takes your fancy. Restaurant next door with BYOB policy - books up quickly though, as does campsite so booking ahead is recommended. Ideal for ferry to Kintyre. Small lounge area with oodles of info and a warm place to sit in if weather is inclement. Owner really knows what punters require for a site. Caters for all comers, which we love as clientele are then an eclectic bunch

Originally we were going to stay on the south of the island for a few days but decided to motor on up the west coast road to Lochranza - and it was definitely the right choice
The wardens were really helpful (owners away for the week), pitches easy to locate and the facilities excellent
Midges were a pain but they keep a stock of sprays in the camp office which actually work
There are plenty of showers, toilets and pot wash facs - always clean and tidy
Our pitch was hard standing, next to a hook up, water and grey waste, and well drained which was a boon after we had torrential rain overnight - there are deer which roam the site and a footpath takes you through the golf course to the bay - great for dog walking and great for walking the hills and coastline
There's a bus stop outside the site entrance which takes you to the main town Brodick and around the island
This site is excellent - we palnned stopping a couple of days and stopped four
We'll be back

A beautiful site in stunning, rugged surroundings, very close to Lochranza Bay. Let's get the midges dealt with first, because it's the only fly in the ointment (pun intended). They're just a feature of life. Everything else is superb. The owners are a lovely, helpful, friendly couple who work constantly to keep the site immaculate, even down to a daily round of deer poo disposal. Yes, really. That's dedication. All facilities are beyond any criticism. If you're towing, be aware that the road from Brodick is fairly narrow and winding in places and very bumpy. Slow and easy is the way to avoid getting caught out. The surroundings en route are well worth it, though. Also, dead slow into Lochranza so as not to miss the site entrance. If you do overshoot, you can turn with care in the Lochranza Castle approach road, but otherwise it's a long way to the next safe turning point. The golf course is part of the site if you're a golfer and the deer are fascinating. You'll need a torch at night to avoid coming face to face. We loved The Sandwich Station by the pier. Lovely people and real top notch food. We can't wait to return as soon as possible.

Booked this site as it was closest to the ferry and meant that we did not have to travel on the roads in Arran, which are not the smoothest or widest.
The site is great as previous reviewers have stated, midges - well it is Scotland so be prepared and they are no problem. Toilets spotless, showers hot and enough room to be comfortable. Lots of walking straight off the site and plenty to see a bit further afield. Loads of information available in the lounge.
Our only criticism was the deer. Although the owners cleaned droppings from the site each day the dogs still managed to find them. Both dogs treated with tick spot on but that only meant that the ticks dropped off in the caravan.
One dog became critically ill very soon after we returned home, our vet said it could have been caused by ticks.
So a great site but keep a close eye on your dog.
One star dropped for very poor drainage at the water points which were boggy and never drained away while we were there.

This site is an absolute gem!
Firstly the location - getting there from the ferry at Brodick is just the most spectacular road, along the coast where we were lucky enough to see seals in the bay near Brodick Castle, then up over the hills before final descending into Lochranza. There are beautiful walks aplenty - our border collie had a great time. Oh and just to add the site has its own nine hole golf course where you can walk the fairways alongside the resident deer herds! And the distillery is about 400 yards across the road.
The site has electric and non-electric tent pitches as well as hard standing and grass pitches for caravans and three 'pods'.
The toilets/showers and dishwashing facilities are always clean and tidy and there was always hot water. There's a room with washing and drying facilities and a lounge with all sorts of local information and details of everything you'd need to know about the island.
Our hosts Nigel and Kathy were fantastic - they always seemed to be on hand and have a wealth of local knowledge to share. When we arrived Nigel was just about to head for the pier to help the 'Waverley' paddle steamer dock.
We visited the site last year and were keen to return (this time with our 16 year old daughter who loved it!). Despite catching the tail end of Hurricane Bertha we still had a great time - can't wait to go back!

A fantastic campsite with fantastic owners. The owners couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. The facilities are clean and functional, and the toilets never ran out of toilet paper! There are lots of sinks for washing up under cover. I especially liked the camper's lounge and useful microwave and kettle. The fridge is quite small and we didn't use it, preferring to rely on your own coolbox. The lounge and reception area are full of information and useful wildlife id guides are available, while weather forecast are posted daily and information/suggestions about things to do are also updated daily. The surroundings are sublime apart from the dreaded midge, which is just a feature of Scottish camping that you have to accept (but take a head net or buy one from the shop in reception). Red deer are all around and often in the campsite. Golden eagles nest in the cargs above and can be seen soaring above the glen. Red squirrels are also often seen but we did not see any during the four days we were there. Good eating options in Lochranza hotel and the Arran distillery across the road. Fantastic walks right from the campsite.

Absolutely stunning location, friendly helpful staff nothing is too much trouble for them, very flexible as we didn't know how long we wanted to stay to be honest we didn't want to leave!
Amazing views with wild deer roaming the site.
Truly a heavenly place.
I would recommend this quiet site if you want a relaxing break in a lovely location.
Toilet block very clean everything you need really.

Brilliant peaceful site where red deer roam freely over the adjacent golf course. The campsite is reasonably level with some hard standings. We chose a pitch overlooking the golf course where we could watch the deer close up. The only downside was the heavy rain over one day which resulted in our breathable groundsheet allowing the rainwater through. A bit squelchy to say the least.
The toilet and shower facilities are spotlessly clean. There is a dish wash area outside the toilet block. You can observe the deer here too munching the grass only feet away from you. There is a walk round the edge of the golf course which leads to the bay where you will find Lochranza Castle. It is such a beautiful place. Golden Eagles are in the hills behind the distillery. We watched one soaring overhead for almost two hours. The cuckoos are never far away either.
Just outside the campsite is the Stag Pavilion Restaurant which serves up wonderful food throughout the day except Wednesday. It's so popular you have to book. Across the road is the distillery. What more could you ask for.
I wish we were still there.

This site sits adjacent to the golf course in one of the most beautiful places on Arran.
We were thrilled to see the deer on the site and the eagle up on the crags.
The site is quite basic. But what else do you need in such a location.
The toilet facilities and dish washing area were clean and tidy but at times we did felt as though we were being watched by the site warden.
The Stag's Restaurant adjacent to the site does good meals.

Really good site with friendly helpful staff.
Toilets and showers immaculate with lots of hot water.
The setting is spectacular, words just can't do it justice and as for the sunset over Lochranza Castle!
Deer roam through the village and golf course quite unperturbed and adding to the atmosphere.
On the adjacent immaculately maintained 9 hole golf course, green fees plus hire of clubs is £10. 00 for camp site customers, beat that!.
The restaurant on site was fully booked during our stay so can't comment but its popularity speaks volumes.
You must try the Sandwich Station opposite the Lochranza ferry slip for a huge and imaginative range of fillings and coffee.
Only caveat as with most of the West of Scotland at this time of year - take plenty of midge repellent.

First visit to this site and couldn't fault it. Very friendly, caring owners. All facilities first class and spotless whatever time of day it was. A very peaceful site, advertised as the quiet site and it was. The location is lovely, a stroll across the golf course to the bay. No local shop though for provisions so stock up before you go!

We came last year and found the new owners had already made considerable improvements to the site
The one thing we thought needed attention was the toilets and showers which were in sad need of replacement or refurbishment
Imagine our delight to see the new facilities this year. Beautifully designed and including heating
The site remains a lovely location regularly visited by the local deer. The owners are very good about checking the site is in good order but I have never seen a deer droppings patrol in operation until we visited this site!
The owners are a lovely couple who take great pride in the site
We made good use of the local bus this time as we stayed for a week which saved us moving the van when we wanted to go out. One driver even dropped us at the site gates!
A fantastic site and we will be back

One of the most wonderful places we had during the last twenty years touring in Scotland: the landlord and his wife were extremely friendly and helped us to find the right place for our tent, the facilities were very clean although it is a very busy place. The campsite is in an excellent condition, everything was perfect. We felt so comfortable there and will definitely return. Playing golf just beside the campsite was a great experience, too.

This is the third time we have visited this site and even went out of our way after landing at Oban from Outer Hebrides to visit the site to have a game of golf and a meal in the Stag Restaurant. The site is excellently run and facilities are A1 as always. The site deer are something else and what an attraction. The distillery across the road is worth a mention as well as it is a shopping paradise for presents.
Will be back again hopefully

An incredibly well run campsite set in a quiet and beautiful location on Arran. The owners are very friendly, take personal pride in their site and will go out of their way to ensure that your stay goes smoothly.
The facilities were clean and of a high standard, and there was a focus on detail e. G. Stickers and pen next to the fridge for labelling milk etc.
Pirnmill Village Stores was the nearest shop we found to the campsite, 6 miles away (which wasn't a problem - nice journey next to the coastline). However, basics such as milk and bread are available on site.
Locally, there is plenty to explore. I would recommend the Fairy Dell walk which is walkable from the site. This takes a few hours (with children) and follows the coastline down near the shore, and then rises up so you can take in some stunning views. If it is raining, you can head off to the nearby distillery.
Overall, a great site and we will definitely be visiting again.
