Camping in Ayrshire

Camping in Ayrshire Ayrshire is a beautiful county situated on the south west coast of Scotland, on the shores of the Firth of Clyde, and is the ideal location for a short break, or even a longer family holiday. As well as being home to some of Scotland`s most breathtakingly beautiful scenery, Ayrshire is also one of the most historically rich counties in the country. Steeped in a long and fascinating history, this county is home to many beautiful castles (such as Culzean, said to be the pride of the Scottish National Trust), as well as ruins (such as Dundonald and Lochranza). This is also a great place for visitors seeking an adventure-filled holiday full of fun and interesting activities. Golf, fishing, kayaking, riding and helicopter hire are all things that Ayrshire has to offer, as well – of course – as the beautiful Ayrshire islands. Perhaps the best known island is the Isle of Arran, which has a fast growing reputation due to its stunning scenery, locally produced food, plethora of activities (everything from soap making to paragliding), and, of course, distillery! Many of those who visit Ayrshire choose to go camping or caravanning in the area, an unsurprising choice considering the excellent scenery. For those who enjoying camping or staying in a caravan, though still enjoy the idea of many onsite amenities and facilities, a holiday park is probably the best place to pitch up. The Sundrum Castle Holiday Park is a perfect example of such a park. Located not far from miles of Ayrshire beaches, this holiday park offers tent and caravan pitches for those bringing their own accommodation, as well as facilities and entertainment including an indoor pool, a clubhouse, crazy golf, ten-pin bowling, and a bar and restaurant – something to keep everyone happy! Alternatively, for those seeking a more close-to-nature camping experience, Ayrshire also has many great places for camping. Glen Rosa, for example, prides itself on providing a camping experience unlike any other in Scotland. Situated on the Isle of Arran, Glen Rosa is situated over an expansive area of natural ground, leading up to the Arran Hills, and offers a rustic, simple, yet tranquil time on the island. Notably there is no hot water and this site isn`t suitable for caravans, but for those who can cope with this, camping at Glen Rosa is a truly unique experience. For an experience still tranquil and rustic, though equipped with hot water and an onsite restaurant and shop, Lochranza Caravan and Camping site is the ideal spot. When camping in Scotland there are a few key items to remember, for example waterproofs, warm clothing, and a local map. A good idea is to draw up a camping checklist before you leave, making sure nothing is left behind. For those camping in tents, it`s crucial to have a good quality, durable tent, being a good example of such. For more information on Marmot Tents visit - http://www.crowdstorm.co.uk/c5_marmot_tents/
