We have just returned from our first family camping trip - me, my OH, 7 year old son and 1 year old spaniel.  Although looking forward to it, last week I suddenly became more anxious - kept thinking about what weather would be like, did I have everything, have we made good choice with site, etc, etc.  Well...... what a fab weekend.  We went to Walled Garden Caravan & Camping Site in Ayrshire - beautiful, well maintained site with friendly and very helpful staff/proprieters on site.  Facilities were spotless and site was busy - glad we booked in advance!  Site was nice and quiet in the evenings.  Was also in a great location - a bit out of the way, but not too far either.  We went to Girvan and travelled back up the coast via Turnberry and Maidens, both of which were really nice. Couldn't have asked for better!  And of course, weather was great too.  Can't wait to arrange out next trip - will be somewhere different - but would definitely recommend this site.

Hi Karen

Well  done on your first camping trip. Now you've caught the bug you'll be counting the days til the next one.

Good luck

Hiya, glad you enjoyed it, I love Ayrshire - stayed in a run down old cottage years ago then went to Arran - been back there since love Lochranza.

Anyway I am another newbie here but i love camping!

Take care

that's it now you will want to go camping all the time(and weather like this makes camping better) mind you camping in any weather is good camping weather

welcome and hope you have many more enjoyable trips> We love camping in scotland and have been away with our two 2 and 4 since the first one was very young.  Can i ask how did you find the walled garden  ?  and secondly how was it tempreature wise during the night and the morning at this time of year

Just thought I'd say Hi.  We are about to embark on our first camping trip ( as soon as we buy the tent that is!) lol.

I'm from just down the road from you, originally a bankie girl but now living in Alexandria.

Off to read your review as looking for a nice site not too far away for our first expedition!

Hi Catherine - I'm still learning too!  Only been one trip, after all!  We bought a really good tent from the Towsure Website - Oggie Tanami 6 Person Tent.  Very spacious - plenty of room for the 3 of us plus the dog.  Depends what you're looking for though.  Let me know how you get on.

we hoping to head away this weekend comming all going to plan. Considered visitng brother in troon so thought this site could be good.   Just a wee bit wary of tempreatures at mo, but then again, our two are usually wrapped up well enough. If you ever require any advice on sites in scotland feel free to ask. We also sometimes use the chatroom on this site so maybe see you in there some time. welcome to a very addictive hobby and website lol

cheers again 

Thanks Karen and will do!
