South Ayrshire

South Ayrshire is a beautiful and breezy part of Scotland’s southwest coast, where golden beaches, historic landmarks, and famous golf courses make it a top destination for a relaxed and scenic caravan holiday. Whether you’re following the footsteps of Robert Burns, enjoying a seafront stroll, or teeing off at world-class golf resorts, South Ayrshire offers a lovely balance of culture, coast, and countryside.

Caravan parks in this region often sit near the Ayrshire Coastal Path, with access to sandy shores, clifftop walks, and seaside towns like Ayr, Troon, and Girvan. You’ll find plenty of family-friendly attractions, historic castles, and peaceful parks — not to mention great ferry links for exploring the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig from nearby harbours. The region is also steeped in literary history, as the birthplace and heartland of Scotland’s national poet.

If you’re looking for sunsets over the sea, charming towns, and cultural depth, South Ayrshire is an excellent west coast retreat.
