Glamping

A small, quiet campsite in Shiskine on the west side of Arran, run by two owners who live on site. It has 15 pitches: hardstanding bays for vans and roof tents, and grass for tents of every size, including a cheap rate for hikers arriving without a vehicle.

Shower blocks are heated, there is a covered washing-up area, communal fridge-freezer for ice packs, free wifi, a small shop at reception and Calor gas exchange. A laundry and EV chargers arrived for 2026. Dogs stay free on the pitches.

A 19-foot yurt on a raised spot looks over Machrie Moor to Kintyre. Blackwaterfoot is a five-minute drive; the King's Caves and Machrie Moor standing stones are about two miles off. Open fires are not allowed, but raised barbecues are fine.
