Hi All

I have been to Millport many times since childhood (now 40) and love the place, we have never been able to stay due to no campsite so didnt take caravan but now we have a MH we are thinking of going over for the weekend and just wondered if anyone had camped there. I have emailed the tourist office and they said its at my own risk which i totally understand but just wanted to know if any you guys had done it.

I know some will look at this post wondering where it is is a little island off the west coast of Scotland 10 minutes from Largs Ayrshire. Its a lovely place 10 miles round and loads of beaches and it hasn't changed since my gran took me there in the 70s.

Thanks for your replys and glad you agree that its a lovely island ans as far as im aware there is no offical camping places and on the offical websites it say ok to camp but at own risk and as long as you do no damage so i think we will give it a go if not we are thinking of the isle of bute another place my gran took me as a child and they have a campsite, but to be honest i do love Cumbrae just one of them childhood memories that stays with you and when you return its just as you remember it lol.

was over on sun and passed 3 vans parked up on the other side of the island one of them had an awning up ......

Gerry,

not sure if you are now aware but there is a caravan site in the town of Millport (Westbourne House I think) about 5 minutes walk up the hill from the town. Mainly for statics but they have a very small separate area for tourers/campervans only (no tents) and the couple that manage it are very decent so if you go again you could book in there!
