 This is a fantastic campsite, just what you expect from The Caravan and Camping Club, excellent staff, exceptionally clean toilets and showers, etc etc. This is a wonderful place for a family holiday. We holidayed with our 2 and 4 year old and stayed for 11 nights which was just perfect. The site is walking distance of Culzean Castle (National Trust) and you can walk (took a while with two little ones) or drive down in 5 minutes.
Highlights of the holiday were definitely visits to Port Carrick beach (within grounds of Culzean Castle) and Croy Shore beach (5 mins in car). We had the beaches to ourselves in beautiful weather, ourselves and our dog thought we were in paradise.
GORGEOUS! sunsets over the Isle of Arran each evening which were just stunning.
A day trip to Isle of Arran on the ferry are a must approx £8 for adults as foot passengers - our kids and the dog were free! We were face to face with a wild seal and saw dolphins playing just off shore which made my life never mind my holiday!
Ayr is a lovely town if you need the big shops, (huge Tescos there), Maybole and Girvan have Somerfields. Girvan isn't up to much really but has a leisure centre if you want to go swimming on those rainy days.
Peace, quiet, no queues, lovely weather, rockpools, wildlife, gorgeous Scottish folk, Irn Bru, if you like some or all of these you MUST go to Culzean Castle. Enjoy.

Have visited this site a number of times now and I could not fault it, the staff are great, the facilities clean and just what you would expect from the club. We are reasonably local, an hour can get us here so we don't do much exploring from the site.
The castle is the main reason to visit, with kids of 8 and 10 we can walk in and out of the castle from the site and if you take a picnic you will be there all day. There is a great park, lake and the beach too. There is also entertainment at weekends during the summer such as medieval jousting and battle reenactments which really involve the kids.
We even used the site for our sons 8th birthday, with 5 boys sleeping in the awning I apologise to other visitors that weekend late in June.
Great site , Great staff, Watch those midgies.

This is another one of our favourite sites, its within 30 miles of where we store our van so very quick to get to. Steve and Sue the site managers are fantastic, if you need something they will get it for you for the next morning
The facilities are all very clean and well maintained.
Our kids love this site and disappear the second we arrive there. They have made friends with other regulars and look forward to seeing them regularly.
Most pitches are reasonably level some are sloping. TV reception is good
We usually visit this site at least once a month

Having just returned from this site I needed to tell you all about the highs and low's of Culzean Campsite. It is situated in the most wonderful place I’ve been in Scotland. The views and sunset over the isle of Arran were breath taking. If you are thinking of going may suggest you go as early as you can as there is so much to do. Cost isn't too bad (foot passengers 2x ad 1x ch £23 ret). The country Park grounds are beautiful and I could have spent most of the day there.
The site it self clean and tidy, what you would expect from the C&CC. The wardens (Steve & sue) very helpful and friendly. I got attacked by corn fly’s as the local farmer was cutting the corn in the adjacent field. Between the two of them they managed to find me some mossie repellent and Steve even given us his last three weetabixs. Only disappointing thing to say about the site is it’s a sloping site and there is only two washing up sinks and one wasn’t working. All I would say to that is, just look at the scenery! The site is child friendly and all the kids on site were having a ball. They didn't mined it being a sloping site as they rolled down them. Even though it’s a four hour drive from Washington Tyne & Wear. I would definitely consider visiting again.
Lastly I’ve got to mention Jock’s Restaurant in Kirkmichael. The food is to die for the best steak pie ever! And reasonably priced.

I visited this site last year and had a great time, so decided to go back for a week this time, was fab.
The wardens are very friendly, even willing to help a single parent to put up her tent, cant say any better than that. They keep the toilets very clean and facilities are great even a little shop on site for fresh milk and rolls in the mornings.
The scenery is amazing and the sunsets are unbelievable.
I visited Stranraer too, beautiful scenery going there was really good watching the ferries too.
There is a place called the Heads of Ayr park for the kids you can spend the whole day there and they would love it.
There is also and adventure play park at the castle for the kids too which I think was free.
It's so peaceful here I'm going back again in couple of weeks time, cant wait.

Just returned form culzean after spending 4 nights at the site. What can I say , it was just heaven total peace and quiet, very friendly and helpful wardens and it was very child friendly as we have a 6 yr old and a 2 yr old. Very good play park and just loads of space for them to run about and make friends.
Would have stayed for another 4 nights if I could have, I have a funny feeling that we'll be going back sooner rather than later.

Lovely site with lovely views. The sunsets over Arran were beautiful. Plenty of space between pitches. Could spend a full day in the country park no bother (free entry if camping at the site). Great dog walk . Staff were very helpful and friendly. Will definitely return.

Lovely site, with fantastic view of Aaran and other islands. You can go and explore the expanse that is Culzean castle at no cost (except for the house). Fab walks there for people and dogs. Great views and some beaches.
Wardens were really friendly and helpful.site was busy but didn't appear crowded, plenty of facilities to go round! (altough the washing up sinks got really busy at peak times.there are only 2!)
Other things to do in the area depend on what you like doing and whether you have kids. There are nice drives up / down the coast, there's a train statiion in maybole so you can get to glasgow edinburgh easily, golfers will be spoiled by Turnerry which is just up the road!. Ayr isn't the most picturesque part of scotland but has some ok shopping.
Try not to underestimate how far it is to get here from preston it's 4 hrs mainly motorway, took us 4.5 coming home a different route in an attempt to cut some distance out.
All in all we had a good time here, the people we met were really friendly and welcoming (that's you tommy and agnes if you're reading this!), not sure if we'd go back, probably go further north next time.

As can be expected from a C&C Club site. A very good site, toilets and showers are clean and in good order with the added benefit of some private cubicles with wash basins. Hair driers in both mens and womens blocks 20p coins.Laundry room has two sinks for hand washing, a washing machine,spin drier and an iron and ironing board (iron takes 20p coins).Generally the site is level but some pitches are sloping.The site is well drained and coped well with several very heavy rainstorms. Best of all are the stunning views of the Isle of Arran and just visible beyond that is Kintyre, be prepared for some splendid sunsets.
