Homeward bound

I honestly don’t think I can say much that’s not already been said. Terry and Stewart are doing there best to make the site a really nice place. They’ve moved the rubbish bins to one central place which I think is a good idea, and put flowers into where the bins used to be. The town is a run down place, we think it’s got worse over the past few years. But the campsite is in our opinion beautiful and peaceful.

First Time Here

This is the first time we have been here booked for two nights. No information was given when we booked in at reception. I picked a leaflet up of a table. The site is behind the university. Was not straight forward to find maybe some better signage? The toilet block needs a big upgrade. out of the four showers only two had a seat. The water from the showers sprayed out under the door and made the corridor very wet. If you were a little unsteady this could be off putting. Showers etc were clean, at one time you could see they had a shower curtain which is no longer there. Ayr itself is very run down I felt you had to be aware of where you were walking I would not have walked on my own. We did find the staff not as friendly as other sites we have stopped on. This is one site we will not be returning too.

Basic but well maintained grounds and good locatio

Craigie Gardens is situated in well maintained grounds, is a 10-minute walk into the town and there is a pleasant riverside walk nearby. Facilities block was clean but extremely dated and closed at an inconvenient time (10:30-12noon). With some vision, modernisation, a little more hospitality and the addition of fully serviced pitches, it wouldn't take much to transform this from an average to excellent site.

Enjoyable stay

We stayed on this site for 5 nights from May 22nd 2024. We were made very welcome by Kate when we arrived who gave us lots of excellent local information. The site was very clean and tidy and well organised and John was always out on site and friendly and smiling despite the pouring rain. The facilities were always very clean and tidy but agree with previous comments that they could do with a refurb. There is plenty to do in the area, Culzean Castle is a must. Nice walks from the site and Ayr is an easy walk in, Morrisons nearby for fuel and groceries. Pitches are well maintained as is the site in general. No problems with electricity on May 22nd as in previous comments. Overall pleasant stay on this excellent site with very friendly staff. We will be back on our next trip to Scotland M & L

Nice Site 10 minutes walk from town.

Had a 3 night stay at Craigie gardens, site is a good size with decent sized pitches and is well maintianed by the very friendly staff, as others have commented the toilet block is looking a bit dated but it was clean with hot showers with good water pressure, town is around a 10 minute walk if you cut through the university campus but sadly Ayr like a lot of small coastal towns has suffered years of neglect and is not what it used to be, very sad as all the people we spoke to we so friendly and welcoming, ate out at The Bistro on Sandgate and it was excellent and very busy even on a Sunday evening, well worth a try if you're staying at the site.

Very tired facilities

My husband and I were due to stay at this site for 4 nights but cut it down to 3. We got to the site to be told the electricity would be off for 5 days with no prior notice. The onus should be on the Caravan Club to let you know things like this. We had booked the site in December 2023. The showers and toilets were really tired. We used our own facilities. Ayr is a walk away but not very nice in fact I felt unsafe walking around there and I am a retired Police Officer. The members comment in the Caravan club book may have been true at some point but certainly isn’t now. I didn’t think that the walk along the river to the beach was lovely. Ayr is a very run down and deprived town as we were reminded by a notice in the laundry room asking for food donations for the local school. I wouldn’t knowingly choose a holiday destination in this area. I certainly wouldn’t return.

Not made welcome! Won't be back!

My wife and I have stayed at Ayr Craigie Gardens on numerous occasions in recent years, we had booked and paid for two nights on this recent visit, we stayed one night, made quick, alternative arrangements and left at our first opportunity. We have further decided to change our touring procedures and will not be using Ayr Craigie Gardens in the foreseeable future.

3 day visit

I had a three day visit while visiting friends in the locality. Site was clean and well organised. Showers and toilets were clean but perhaps beginning to get to the stage of needing a revamp. Although there was plenty space between the pitches it was a bigger and busier site than I would normally choose, that is the primary reason for my lower scores. Town centre was a fairly short walk away but is beginning to get a little run down. Having said that there are some nice bistros once you find them.

weekend visit

Stayed here for long weekend in early May, was greeted by our hosts for the weekend John and Kate very helpful, requested pitch near play park as we had the grand kids this was accommodated. Very helpful in giving us recommendations for restaurants and local amenities. Campsite very well maintained, toilet block spotless at all times even has a bath for the kids. Already rebooked for July.

Great stay

Stayed on site from the 18th until the 21st of April, found the site spotless and very colourful. Read earlier reviews regarding the toilet block, but found these unfounded as they were adequate for our needs and clean. Staff were friendly and professional. Would definitely return.
