  • Family-run holiday park with views of the Ayrshire coastline
  • A 15-minute drive from Ayr and walking distance to the beach
  • Pets welcome; on-site kids' play area and food shop available
Wake up to views over the Firth of Clyde and the Isle of Arran at Heads of Ayr Holiday Park, a friendly family-run site in southern Scotland. With a coastal location, a family-friendly feel and close proximity to a number of bays and beaches, it makes an excellent base for getting out and about on the Ayrshire coast. The site is just off the A719 coastal route, a handy location that makes it quick and easy to head south to Culzean Castle (20 minutes) or north to Ayr town centre (15 minutes), coastal golf courses (20 minutes) and Ardrossan (40 minutes), where you can catch ferries to the Isle of Arran or to the tip of the Kintyre Peninsula. Facilities here include toilets, showers, internet access, a food shop and a play area. Well-behaved dogs (on leads) are welcome. Away from base, more family-friendly entertainment is on hand a mile away at Heads of Ayr Farm Park, a fun park with boats, tractor rides, trampolines and lots of furry animals. When your mind turns to more practical matters, just head into Ayr for supermarkets, restaurants, takeaways and a railway station.

What customers say

Highly recommended, super clean & well-kept park with friendly, helpful staff. Guests rave about spotless facilities, good pitches & great views. Ideal for walks (scenic beach path!), with a handy bus route. Kids love the play park. Minor moans: muddy beach path after rain, some road noise.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We have used this campsite a couple of times on our way back from the Highlands and find it very nice. Quite at night, water and electric right next to the pitch. We noticed a large play area for children which is great for people with children. There is a really good bus service which runs every hour into Ayr perfect for us so we don't have you take our campervan and have to find parking.
The toilets and showers are kept very clean.
There is a couple of nice walks to the sea and the view is stunning.
Nothing at all to dislike.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (large)

Liked Very clean site toilets/ showers were the cleanest of any site I have been on

Disliked A bit picky but i took bicycles but the road was to busy but have to say it was the village of Dunure festival of the sea on so was understandably busy , i did attend the festival but had to take the car as the local bus just kept driving past as it was to full , why they didn’t put extra buses on I don’t know!

Local attractions

Bracken Bay beach, a spacious sandy spot with shallow waters, is about a five-minute walk down a footpath from the site that's well worth visiting. Once here, it's easy to join the Ayrshire Coastal Path and head south to Dunure and its castle via quiet countryside along the clifftop (or you can drive there in about 10 minutes). To the north, the Victorian seaside resort of Ayr (15 minutes' drive) is well worth a visit for a stroll along the seafront and to stop for fish and chips (Marco's is particularly tasty). The area surrounding the town also has a racecourse (15 minutes) and the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum (10 minutes), where you can see the bard's cottage plus manuscripts, books and artwork. Day trips from Ardrossan ferry terminal (40 minutes) include jaunts to the Isle of Arran or the Kintyre Peninsula in Argyll, which feels very much like an island despite being attached to mainland Scotland. For a total change of scene, it's also possible to drive to Glasgow (an hour) for trips to fab free museums like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery or Riverside Museum and its hundreds of transport-related artefacts.
