Kelburn Campsite

Largs

2026 Open Date

1st March - 30th September

Quick Read Campsite Summary

Kelburn Campsite occupies the grounds of the historic Kelburn Estate near Largs, with the castle’s colourful graffiti artwork giving the setting a distinctive character. There is a large grass area for tents, a limited number of hardstanding campervan pitches and bell tents for those who prefer accommodation already set up. Toilets, showers and scattered fire pits cover the camping essentials. Dogs are welcome with campers, although not in the bell tents.

Much of the interest lies within the estate itself, which has woodland walks, waterfalls, gardens, play areas, a café and a small shop. The Short Glen Walk follows a sculpture trail featuring wooden animals, birds and fish, adding a particular focus for a family wander. For a longer exploration, the Middle Glen Walk crosses the burn at Three Falls Bridge and passes a grassy plateau of beech trees before offering several ways back towards the castle and gardens. These are estate routes rather than walks described as starting at your pitch.

Fairlie is a short walk away, with a railway station offering direct trains to Glasgow, while the coastal path provides a longer outing towards Largs. From Largs, the ferry crosses to Cumbrae Slip, rather than landing in Millport itself. A connecting island bus provides the onward link, with Millport four miles from the slipway—a useful distinction when planning an island day out without a car.

About Kelburn Campsite

Kelburn Campsite Is located on a historic Kelburn Estate which includes a Castle that dates back to the 13th century painted in a unique and unmistakably way. The campsite sits on the grounds of the castle with a large grass area dedicated to tents, limited number of hard standing pitches for campervans and a selection of bell tents for those looking for a more luxurious camping experience. There are various fire pits scattered through the site and dogs are welcome with all campers except for those staying in a bell tent. There is a toilet and shower block available for campers use and the site opens between March and September each year. The estate offers plenty to keep you busy, with various events, café, small shop, waterfalls (where wild swimming is possible), horse rising centre, woodland walks, adventure park and much, much more. A short walk away you will find the village of Fairlie which has a direct train link to Glasgow. You will also find The Village Inn pub which serves up cold beer and food. Further afield is Largs Yacht Haven which has a bar & restaurant (25min walk) and the town of Largs (1 hr walk along a coastal path) which has a ferry service to Milport of the Isle of Cumbrae (rent a bike and explore the island in a day). With so much to do within the estate and locally this is a great place for families, couples and friends and especially for those traveling on foot.
