This is a lovely location, close to the nice resort of Largs, and with excellent views towards Largs and to Cumbrai right from your window. Each pitch has a bench site from which to admire the view in the sun. Each pitch also has a 16A EHU bollard and a water tap.
On site there is a good restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had dinner and it was good. There is a snack bar/takeaway and a chandlery, which can be good for bits for the outfit, but also has a good selection of clothes and waterproofs. Toilet/shower facilities are excellent.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
Access is direct on to the coastal promenade for walking or cycling into Largs. Largs is still a pleasant resort, with a number of attractions including a Viking Museum. Ferries to Cumbrai are every 15 minutes. On the other side there is a bus from the slipway to Millport, the only town. You can take your bikes and cycle all around the island.
You can go along the coast road to Wemyss Bay, another pleasant resort, or take the traditional "Doon the watter" trip on the ferry to Rothsay from here.
We will use this CL again.
My only negative is that the pitch makings are exactly the same length as a car parking space. Too short for most motorhomes. On pitches 1, 2, & 3, this is not a problem, as the overhang does not cause a problem. On pitches 4 & 5, it is a problem. This could be solved by removing the lamp post and changing the ground markings. We managed to get onto pitch 5 sideways with a 7.8m motorhome, which worked, but the pitches could be marked much better, and removal of the lamppost would make it work.
Too expensive for corner of a car park
Super views over to Cumbrae. Facilities very clean shared with yachts people. Pitches are to small for size of vans. No privacy with people walking through your pitch or in front of you van, couple feet away. Non yachting people helping themselves to empty pitch water supplies. Ok for night but now to expensive.

Excellent uninterrupted view to Cumbrae , £38 a night now a bit pricey couldn’t fault the place apart from pitches near turning access a bit tight
As is part of a one way system , we pulled as far forward as we could as had bikes on the back, nice walk into Largs got ferry £7.5O for two return to Cumbrae beautiful place £3.50 return on bus to pier it is 10 miles Round nice walks
The Scott’s restaurant at yacht club reasonable two courses £17.50 gets full quickly

Perfect location and views but pitches squeezed into a corner of the car park.
The marina is huge and the facilities were excellent with great bars and restaurants.
The showers and toilets are shared with the yachties so are not very close to the motorhome pitches .
The chemical point is at the back of reception.
The pitches are in the corner of the car park and it felt quite compact. Our motorhome stuck well outside the markings which made it difficult for others to get by us to the other pitches.
For the price of the pitches I was disappointed we weren’t given a slightly larger area to manoeuvre.
Fantastic site
Stayed for 3 nights - really good communication pre-arrival with details re directions & access etc. On arrival everything worked seamlessly- number plate recognition allowed us through barrier- got set up with EHU & water & wonderful view over the sea. Great facilities on site & loads to do locally. Will definitely return- can’t praise highly enough- great place.
Seaside splendour
CL is on designated area of quiet parking lot through the ANPR security barrier. Marina is staffed 24/7 by a really friendly and helpful team. Each pitch has water and EHU, a picnic bench and views to die for across to Cumbrae, Arran, Bute etc. Ferries, dinghy racing and passing shipping to watch as well as all the normal bustle and colour of a busy marina. Not cheap but facilities high quality (shared with the yachties). Also Scotts bar/restaurant and Bosun's Table on site offer meal options from brekky to dinner (both have dog-friendly space). Lots of nearby dog-walking and a an easy marked trail goes up into Largs for fish and chips, Nardini's ices and all the 'kiss me quick' paraphernalia as well as the ferry to Cumbrae. Walk the other way and you can easily get up to Kelburn Castle estate - full of picturesque woodland and river walks. A memorable stop.

Top Quality Destination
We stayed one night just to get a feel for future trips. The weather was terrible but the facilities and location are top class. 5 full service pitches with a lovely view over the water, we woke up to a sailing class taking place on Sunday morning. Beautiful toilet block, open 24 hours. Scotts restaurant and Bosun’s Table on site. Will definitely return.
Really good site to stay
I stayed for two nights 2nd 3rd Jan. 23 First class well worth the money, better than some Club sites I have stayed.
Arrived on a beautiful evening, the views were stunning. Weather turned to typical Scottish winter weather. Wind and
rain for 2 days. Hard stand does not make this a problem, which was one of the reasons I chose the site.
If you a traveling in winter months this is a good base for the lower western Isles.
Will come back later this year.
Great Site
Great site. We use it when visiting family in Largs. Facilities are excellent and clean. Scott’s bar recently is allowing dogs in which is great for eating out locally. Highly recommend.
Great stay
We stayed overnight here on our way to Arran. Fabulous pitch with wonderful views. Very helpful staff. Immaculate facilities. Ate at Scotts which made for a lovely evening. Lovely walk for the dogs just outside the marina. Will be back.
