  • Dog-friendly, peaceful rural caravan park 15 minutes’ drive from Ayr
  • Royal Troon Golf Club 20 minutes’ drive; Culzean Castle 25 minutes
  • Modern facilities block; shops, cafés and pubs 15 minutes’ walk away
If you’re after a well-serviced spot to park up for the night, or are looking to stick around and explore stunning Ayrshire, you’ve hit upon the right place. Garton Caravan Park is a traditional park with tree-sheltered caravan pitches and a smart modern facilities block, set in peaceful countryside just 15 minutes’ drive from Ayr. There are woodland walks surrounding the pitches for exercising yourselves (and any furry companions of course), but if you’d rather have a stroll with a purpose attached to it, the renowned links course at Royal Troon Golf Club is 20 minutes’ drive away. Coylton village (five minutes’ drive/15 minutes’ walk) has handy shops, cafés, takeaways and pubs, while lively Ayr is a sure-fire bet for picking up food or any other bits and bobs you’ve left at home. If you’re having a break from the stove, take your pick of cosy pubs, organic cafés and restaurants serving local Scottish produce while you’re there. If the weather is behaving, there’s a sandy beach too – it’s backed by Pirate Pete’s Scotland amusement arcade for days when the sun refuses to appear.

Hollie K. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Lovely quiet site with friendly people and staff. All offered assistance and words of wisdom for us “neebies”. Although the toilet/ shower room looked a little daunting at first once opening the door we found lovely clean, modern facilities, with good water pressure and hot water.

Disliked: Main road a little noisy but can not be helped. Needs a better sign as hard to spot for such a sharp turn at last minute.
