Ayr Craigie Gardens Club Campsite

Log in to write a review
The campsite at Craigie gardens is good and well situated for the town and seafront. But I found the town itself to be quite run down and scruffy. Which is a shame. Good cycling along the promenade though and Belleisle park is to be recommended.
Peaceful haven close to centre of town
We stayed for 2 nights, to visit the local area and found this the perfect base. Quiet, despite being close to everything on offer in Ayr and it's seafront.
Facilities on site were sufficient, clean and tidy.
You may wish to avoid driving through Ayr's rush hour traffic.
Fantastic Ayr club site
We stayed here for four days from 15th to 19th July, from the moment we pulled up Mick was there to greet us, he was so welcoming and helpful.
We found a lovely pitch and went to reception to tell Christine which pitch, yet another friendly encounter.
In the past three months we have visited eight club sites and met some nice wardens, but Mick and Christine were the best ever, Mick would be out working before eight in the morning keeping the site in pristine condition.
The site is a leisurely 15 minute walk to the centre of Ayr, Mark gives easy directions.
The only thing I would mention is the toilet block could do with some Tlc having said that they were spotlessly clean, this has been mentioned in other reviews.
Well done Mick and Christine, we will be back
Loved it just needs some TLC
We spent five days at this site and loved it. The wardens were lovely and very helpful when the RAC man needed to attend top our vehicle. Its a pleasant walk into Ayr provided you follow the river and cross over the second bridge down, the walk up the river is stunning. Facilities were limited due to Covid 19 and although we knew how to use the band system on the toilets etc we felt other members just ignored them this was a pity.
All in all a lovely stay which would benefit from a small investment by the CAMH Club.

Facilities in need of updating and a simpler map into town.
A lovely site, but as with many club sites the toilet and shower block needs updating. One minor point is the map to town took us through a very run down part of Ayr. If they had told us to go along the river it would have been more pleasant and direct.

May / June 2021
As always, Ayr Craigie Gardens is a very peaceful site where we stay every year.
This year we stayed for 3 weeks in May and another 3 weeks in June (2021).
The Wardens this year (Micheal,Christine,Rob and Jenny) really made our stay very enjoyable. Micheal has a really good sense of humour, they all work hard to maintain the site in pristine condition even working outside their normal hours.
The site is a 20 minute walk along the river Ayr to town centre and it is good for cycling and dog walks.
We will definitely be returning again very soon this year.
Hope we have the same Wardens next year

Nice clean site with friendly staff
Although covid restrictions are getting us all down this site complied with all rules but without being over the top. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the site was very clean and tidy. Unfortunately I was just passing through so can only base my review on one night. Ayr itself is nothing to write home about but there are some lovely places around about. Great for cycling. I can’t base an opinion on the children’s facilities available because I was traveling alone.
Lovely tidy site and friendly wardens in a well situated site
This site is well laid out, nice pitches and we had the benefit of great weather.
The wardens are magnificient, even although I was caught going the wrong way up the one way system I was reprimanded hilariously. Their Covid practices made you feel secure.
We had a very pleasant stay and the site is well located for walking into town, also well served by taxis. The facilities may be a little dated but everything is spotlessly clean and the grounds and gardens are immaculatly manicured. The wardens never stopped working, literally all the time, yet still time for a chat.
It may be 60 years since I was last here as a child but as approaching retirement now, we found it very handy for town, beach etc and will be back soon. Thank You!
Excellent site
Stayed here for one night on 3/6 2021. Site is handy for the centre of Ayr. Used the satnav which took us into the university so need to be careful. Nice and handy for the centre of Ayr and supermarkets.
One of our favourite club sites
We visit this site at least once a year. It’s definitely one of our favourites. The site location is great for easy access to the town, beach, supermarkets, country parks. It is well maintained and the facilities are spotless. Dog walks just off site are excellent and it’s an easy walk into the town and the beach. There are plenty supermarkets within a short drive. We can also recommend Marcos fish and chip shop and you can sit and eat them in nearby Wellington Square weather permitting! One beach worth visiting as well as Ayr beach itself is Irvine beach. Both have plenty free parking and are dog friendly. Country parks within an easy drive are Roselle, Eglington and Dean country park. Great for a casual walk especially if you have dogs.
