Campsites with fishing in Ayrshire guide
Where to go
Ayr
Home to a beautiful stretch of beach and esplanade, Ayr is best known for its association with Robert Burns, who was born in Alloway just outside the town. Visitors can see his birthplace and explore the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. Here you can pitch a tent in a country estate, close to the beach.
Isle of Arran
An easy trip from Ardrossan, Arran is often referred to as “Scotland in Miniature” for its diversity of landscapes, which include rugged mountains and glens in the north and a gentler landscape with golden beaches in the south. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking, kayaking, mountain biking and wildlife spotting and camping options include pitching a tent surrounded by mountainous landscapes to glamping-style yurts.
Largs
One of Scotland’s most classic holiday resort towns, Largs charms with its Victorian promenade and is particularly famed for its art deco ice cream parlour. The town also has a strong Viking history to be explored and a unique graffiti-covered castle, the grounds of which you can camp in.
Isle of Cumbrae
A short ferry trip from Largs, the little island of Cumbrae is the perfect setting for a bike ride. A 10-mile (16-kilometre) circular loop leads cyclists all the way around the island, offering views of the North Ayrshire coast and Isle of Bute along the way. Limited camping options on Cumbrae include a holiday park close to the main settlement of Millport.
