(KA7 2XW) Ayr Beach Car Park

One of the worst places to spend a night (even on a Wednesday night), alongside with car boys, horns and loud motor show-offs. My recommendation, try to avoid this spot - which is a shame despite the good location right at the nice beach.

Belle vue sur la mer. Parking payant 10£ pour 24h, le parking n’est pas gratuit pour stationner uniquement la journée. Pas de vidange des eaux grise possible, pas d’eau pour rincer la vidange des eaux noires.

We came here after the Park Up in Troon was a bust with no Black Water Dump. Gorgeous view of the beach, and the lot is only for motorhomes. Only three others with in the middle of August. Pay as you enter. Plenty of trash cans around, also.

Actually had a decent night here. Yes there was people about…it is a car park on the beach front £10 for 24 hours

L endroit pourrait être très agréable mais le bruit est infernal. Bruits de moteurs qui pétaradent, dérapages .klaxons Musique à fond avec les basses pleins les oreilles. Nous aurions du mieux lire les avis, nous ne serions jamais venus ici ..... même gratuit

Can’t complain about the car park, nice and flat, location brilliant, right next to the beach. The payment of £10 was a little steep as there was nothing provided but we were tired

For £10 there should be a water tap especially as it’s a motorhome exclusive area, right on the beach though, it was flat and also gated off so that was great. Boy racers did however show up in the neighbouring car park from around 7pm onwards and as the car park cleared they started revving engines and racing around, luckily we have AirPods so put those in and actually slept really well.

sovraffollato e senza servizi di nessun tipo. I bidoni di cui scrivono sono stati bruciati. In tutta la costa non esistono servizi se non nei campeggi a pafamento.

We stayed here on Tuesday evening and planned to stay for a second night as we had some properties to view in the area and the location is great right by the sea and walking distance to everything you might need in town. The issues begin in the evening and we should have learnt from the first night as the location is plagued by boy racers using the space as a racetrack, doing doughnuts, honking horns and playing music until 3am! BE WARNED YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SLEEP HERE!!!

Absolutely not happy being charged £10.00 for nothing. There is a fabulous view but a motorist parked in front (without paying) and many motorist sped around There are car parks around for Non MH but yet they come through this one. The car park next to the restaurant would be perfect with toilets and a lovely coffee shop plus an excellent food store. The barrier was not closed.

great spot but unfortunately as a local authority charging £10 which price isnt the issue but the fact that they allow the boy/girl racers drive around with loud music and sounding their horns until 2am with no apparent police presence or restrictions it is advertised as a campervan stop so either stop this behaviour or at least make it free

Great location right on the front. £10 a night. Arrived about 3ish and several spaces available - when you pay it says expires 9am next day but signs state motorhomes don't need to leave at 9am. Max stay 3 nights. Elsan empty at back lhs as looking from the prom. No grey dump or fresh water.

Stayed here twice in April and it’s quiet after 10pm. No need to download app as you can pay with a card (tap) at the entrance and the same for the toilets - 50p. Toilets are clean and just a 5 minute walk. Don’t forget your card to pay 50p. Beautiful beach and a long path walk. There is a 22 mile cycle path from this location which makes it a great place to stop. (Path starts at the end of the beach, past toilets). Yes the car noise is annoying but it was quiet overnight. Thank you Council for proving this scenic location.

Perfect MH overnight stopover. Enter from the town centre entrance, not the public toilets entrance, as there is a large speed bump separating MH’s from the main car park. Boy racers mentioned did show up, but no where noisy as some found, dead quiet after 22:00. Cycled to Troon and decided to stay here a second night rather use the North Shore Rd car park - very uneven and beside a busy road.

stunning beach even in winter. You do still have to pay but you don't have to park in the actual carparks until April 1st. Location numbers can easily be found on the local council website. Deducted 2 stars for the antisocial behaviour report i filed at 1a.m.

What a waste!! Typical of the UK!! The most wonderful spot for mobile homes, walkers, cyclists etc. and all ruined by the Council not closing the gates as per signage and the resultant unpoliced boy and girl racers all night…. We moved to the harbour location which was 10 times quieter and a good nights’ sleep.

Great beach location with stunning views, but a few drawbacks. Boy/girl racers nearby made evenings noisy, and the worst issue was another camper emptying their toilet waste on the grass behind the spaces. A beautiful spot spoiled by disrespectful behaviour—could be 5★ with better visitor etiquette.

Nice parking area with great views. Beach lovely to walk the dog. Toilets are good. Loads of bins for waste. All ok until the sun went down and the local boy racers started playing fast and the furious round the car park. Barriers are suppose to close at 8pm but this didn’t happen, so sadly won’t be staying here again. Ayrshire council need to sort this before no one stays at this great place.

Stayed 1 night, late Aug this year. Pay by phone app or by card at entrance. Very busy but no problems getting a space. Lots of passing walkers on prom path, quite safe / secure. Cars pass thru this area to main car park, so lots of passing traffic. Black waste disposal at blue tank in corner but no water to flush out. Many litter bins. Marked pitches, wide spacing in-between. Well worth £10.00.

Für den Platz 5 Punkte! Das nächtliche Treiben geht gar nicht! Wenn sie nur mit den Autos rumfahren würden!? Aber letzte Nacht wollten sie an unser Wohnmobil pinkeln, bei anderen haben sie aus dem Auto heraus angeklopft, sind dann mit quietschenden Reifen davon gefahren. Die Polizei fuhr einmal über den Platz, es war 15 min Ruhe dann ging wieder los! Auf keinen Fall sollte man hier übernachten!

Op zicht een goed initiatief van de gemeente, echter zijn er nog wat uitdagingen. slagbomen bij de ingang zou vreemde auto,s meer buiten houden. het is een hele mooie plek, met veel regels. zwart water kan via de half ondergrondse blauwe container, staat ter plekke echter niet (meer) aangegeven. en dan de nacht, de in de ander commentaren aangeven boy racers zijn zeer actief tot laat in de nacht

It’s ok. Not worth £10.40 (have to pay online and there is a app charge for online) think storm floris kept the boy racers away lots of rules but the traveller community who rocked up in there works vans and 4x4 uts didn’t care. Was quiet enough though. No toilets or water facilities in though. Just a waste tank to empty cassettes.

Great beach and views. Easy to find and park. Toilets were a bit of a walk away. Only problem was in the carpark next to us. a few cars racing around wheel spins and revving engines. We thought it might stop by 10pm but still going around at midnight. I would not have parked here if I had known it was an ongoing issue. Toilet dump was not the easiest to use.

Danke an die Gemeinde für den tollen Platz. Leider waren bei uns sehr viele Einheimische mit ihren Van's und Dienstautos zum feiern. War nicht so Vertauensvoll. Jetzt ist es 23:30 Uhr und die Einheimischen fahren immer noch im Kreis um die Wohnmobile. Einfach nur Krank.

Excellent site. Lovely cafe and loos within 200m south along front. Barriers now go across at night to stop boy racers. £10 nightly and can stay free during day. Very large patches

Been to look at this site this morning on bike. Wardens where there and mixing with the 5 vans parked up. I mentioned the antisocial behaviour, and they where aware, and have blocked of access for the yobs, from 9pm. lovely area.

As previously mentioned, boy racers till Midnight but apart from that it’s a safe and sound park up, Police came round twice before we shut the curtains. £10 on the Pay by Phone App. (£10.20) Toilet waste empty in the corner. Would definitely stay again. Ideal for a stroll into the centre and watching the sunset. Thank you Ayrshire Council.

Managed to have a good night's sleep but took a while before boy racers went home. They are racing around the adjacent car park and sounding horns and revving engines up until around 23:00, The council are obviously trying to encourage visitors but seems they are not prepared to do anything about the anti-social behaviour of these drivers. It's a real shame because this beah front location is good

As noted before lots of boy racers until very late at night. Great view of the beach & found the waste disposal quickly. OK for a one night stop but quite expensive for the minimal facilities.

This park up has its good points, close to beach, cafe and toilets unfortunately the boy racers on a evening papping their horns and loud music is very annoying to say the least.

Close to the beach, concrete car park, no facilities, lots of small kids running around from some other caravans, drama with locals, peeping horns - but no where else to stay in Ayr

Stayed overnight on 12th April 2025, previous reports are indeed correct, boy racers revving engines, peeping horns and shouting at the camper van/motorhomes parked there to wake people up. In the morning we spoke to a couple of ladies who were in separate vans and they had youths banging on motorhomes in the middle of the night. Apart from that…..lovely location!

Would never stay here again - Could be a good park up but council need to do better to stop antisocial behaviour before charging us £10 - boy racers revving engines, loud music, even the cars parked up kept engines running right next to motorhomes. Supposedly cars not allowed in Motorhome section but kids in cars & motorbikes were constantly driving into the area, around the vans, then out again.

Excellent beach location. Although no hook-up option there are plenty of bins, there are public toilets at the far end of the carparks and there is a disposal point for grey & chemical waste - this is hard to spot as it's in a corner and was covered by sand. There was some noise at night from the "racers" but all quiet by 10pm. Would come again and recommend.

Wir standen hier alleine. Herrlich ruhig. Nebenan trifft sich die Jugend. Hat uns jetzt nicht gestört. Viel dichter am Wasser kann man nicht übernachten.

For foreigners, a lengthy parking fee payment system, the tank for the chemical toilet is full, I do not recommend this place.

Sadly we had cars pull up with LOUD exhausts right next to van until very late (as in HOURS of the same exhaust sound) A wonderful park up if they could get this under control paid £10 & left - such a shame as Ayr town is great & seafront free park up in day & out of season is incredible! We drove back today & heard last night was the worse so I would 100% avoid Fridays! (We had issues on Thurs)

Grauwasserentsorgung soll über den blauen Container erfolgen. Der sieht nicht vertrauenswürdig aus und erfordert auch, dass man einen Behälter oder langen Schlauch dabei hat.

Sorry don’t agree with the last comment. All well signposted for motorhomes to park. Very quiet all night. Car enthusiasts drive through and out but no different to anyone else. No revving of engines or bad behaviour experienced by ourselves on the few times we have stayed. It always goes quiet after 11pm. On the whole a great stop over.

Access to the large carpark past the MH parking has been stopped by the installation of railings but cars still enter the MH area, find they can't go further so drive round and out thus constant traffic. Racers gather in an evening in the spots and it's a 'free for all' at weekends as no traffic wardens on duty to ticket/move cars so many MHs couldn't even park up, not even for the night.

Eigentlich eine super Idee der Stadt - Eigentlich … Aber dann kommen am späten Nachmittag jugendliche Raser mit ihren Autos und rasen über die Parkplätze, üben Drifting, Hupen, parken zwischen den Wohnmobilen (obwohl verboten), machen laute Musik - bis nach Mitternacht. Also: Tagsüber gern mal halten und den Strand genießen - aber dann weg von diesem Ort.

Council trying but very basic spot for £10. Toilets need contactless payment only. Temperamental, you maybe waving your card a while. Curry house on site (didn't try) Concur with others, boy racers with not a lot else to do, find the car park a magnet, Colonel Bogey gets old quick.

Just avoid. Boy racers speeding up and down, music blaring, uncomfortable feeling. Not worth the £10. Zero facilities, I'll be leaving as soon as I can.

Currently here and the other reviews are correct as it’s extremely noisy and full of boy racers, how they haven’t caused an accident is a miracle. First thing tomorrow we will be leaving as I am already dreading if we will manage to get any sleep tonight.

Abends ist ein Kommen und Gehen von der Dorfjugend, sprich sehr viel Verkehr, sonst sehr schön, direkt am Strand. 10£ per App. Absolut fair.

je me suis arrêtée pour la vidange et la promenade des chiens autorisés sur la plage en face. la vidange eau grise et noire ce fait via un bac bleu semi enterré dans le sable a l'entrée du parking des bidons sont mis a disposition pour la vidange des eaux grises

Toilet block all boarded up. Couldn't find anywhere to empty black/grey waste. There is no parking for motorhomes this weekend as there is an event on. No parking for 7pm 3/04/2024 until 6/04/2024

A great spot by the beach for daytime parking. Chem drop and bins but no grey waste or water point. BEWARE At night it turns into a racetrack for boy racers, so not safe to stay overnight. Our kids were crying with fear and dogs howling with anxiety, so we had to leave. Council and police are aware of the ongoing problems at the site but have failed to find an effective solution.

Spoke with a council person who confirmed that both day and night are free to stay until April. Between April and Sept it is a paying site. However he also said that the hoons will keep us up doing dumb hoon stuff just like the other comments that have previously been made. We stayed during the day and made our way to the other end of the beach at night.

good wee spot. stayed there Friday night. good views and good for kids as very close to park and amusements etc. very good Indian at the end of parking area. waste disposal and bins which is good. public toilets are there at 30p to enter. bad points is speed bumps there MASSIVE. young team with there cars are loud didn't bother me tho, I still heard TV and slept.

Stayed last night. Free day parking & £10 from 6pm - 9am. Toilet waste facility in semi submerged blue tank in corner next to bins. Can use free if not staying overnight. Noise started 8pmish - car doing donuts far end of car park (away from our m/h!) cars coming and going - revving engines etc. One parked near us, music playing but no trouble. All went quiet 10pmish and had good night sleep.

Way too noisy with boy racers. Not recommended. Where is the Police allowing this?

to much money for nothing, yes for mad racing people...I will never come again.

Wonderful location looking straight across beach area. Pity it is ruined by the road immediately in front of parking area being used as a race track by boys racers with loud / nos exhausts banging out music from around 7 pm until well past midnight. On this basis I cannot recommend this location.

Well done Scotland. A fab stop over . Yes the local young men did scoot around in their cars , not fast or annoying , all in bed and gone by 9pm . Beautiful views and walks . A perfect night for £10 fee.

Not a place to stay if noisy cars & loud music bother you. Toilet tip out waste facility in N.E. corner of carpark next to recycle bins. Unmarked blue tank in ground. BE WARNED - only access this site from the north end entrance (Esplanade Rd). The other entrance has huge speed bumps that could ground a low motorhome.

Wunderbare Lage direkt am Meer, am Anfang eines großen Parkplatzes. Preiswert, aber ohne Einrichtung (Toilettenentleerung abgesperrt). Abends und Nachts leider Treffpunkt Jugendlicher, die trotz der Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzender Hubbel ihre Autos über den Parkplatz jagen..

It’s a long narrow carpark for over 400 cars. At The NORTH END there are parking bays for MoHo’s. It’s FREE during the day but £10 for overnight stays. There is a waste tank in the Northern corner but NO water tap as previously stated. There are huge 6-8” speed bumps all along the carpark but you won’t have to traverse these if you enter via the north entrance.

Boy racers . aviod ❗️had a terrible nights sleep , boy racers from 5 pm till 4 am up and down all night wizzing in and out of all the motor homes . Lovely beach but definitely not a recommended stop

Speed bumps from hell! We grounded our van on everyone. We met a lovely lady who advised us that she had the worse night ever due to the boy racers and advised us to move on.

Well, they tried. Problem is they've diverted the road through the middle of the overnight area so the local 'cruising' club (Corsas with no exhausts) drive past to get to their meet further down the beach. They're not aggressive (unlike similar situations in England) but still make sleep difficult before 11pm (and ditto bin waggons after 8am) Other than that, not a bad location, Amazing beach.

War ok für eine Pause am Meer… Grauwasserentsorgung nur schwer möglich, da dieser nicht im Boden eingelassen ist, sondern dort entsorgt wird wo das Schwarzwasser entsorgt wird. Gingen dann für die Nacht weiter…

Stayed for 1 night, lovely views! Short walk to the centre with lots of bars and restaurants. Very quiet, I would highly recommend.

Avoid if you want a quiet spot. Racers/ car meet up until after midnight on a Wednesday evening, playing loud music and driving ridiculously fast through the car park, my partner was nearly hit by a driver flying into the car park as he crossed over from the beach. The view is lovely but £10 to not be able to get some much needed rest after a long journey did not seem worth it .

Des emplacements corrects. Une belle vue de bord de mer. On a pas vu les réservoirs bleus?? 10£ pour la nuit, paiement par téléphone. Bruyant le soir car les jeunes font des courses de voiture. La police est passée mais sans résultat.

Grundsätzlich sehr schöner Platz am Meer für 10 Pfund. Uns war es zu voll und zu windig. Sind weiter gefahren.

Achtung: Toilettenentsorgung nicht möglich, da die Anlage nicht gewartet und wohl auch beschädigt.

Hi Folks, see below for an update from the council “Over the course of the summer of 2023 we will be introducing a new barrier system within the Esplanade Car Park, Ayr which will be used to control access to the car park. There will also be permanent waste management facilities installed to replace the temporary hired equipment.”

An extraordinary view over the beach to Arran and Northern Ireland on a clear day, perfect sunset views, however the car park is shared tonight by about 150 boy racers racing between the speed bumps, play loud music and blow their horns.5

Terrible place Boy Racers treating the car park as a race track till really late . Dangerous driving right through the motorhome parking . avoid the place . you can park on some of the side streets like we did. police not doing anything

Spent worst night of our camping experience here at the weekend.This could be a great spot for motorhomes/campervans.Great that Ayr council have gave this area.But they really need to make a stand with boy /girl racers just constantly going round and round vans.It is only a matter of time till an accident occurs.At the weekend it went on till 3am.Such a shame as it could be a great stopover.

Just had a wee day trip to Ayr Beach,the space,allotted for motorhomes is excellent, only down side all that space for one van but not allowed to roll out your canopy (it’s all to do with fire restriction) £10 per night to stay over max 3nights. there’s no facilities, although a short walk down the road are the public toilets 30p it takes card the motorhome bays are right next to beach brill

Last minute decision to stay and campsites were full so thought we'd give this a try. Arrived at about 10pm and there were still a couple of spaces. A few folk driving up and down the prom but things soon calmed down. Quiet night's sleep with the bonus of a swim for my wife pretty much straight out of bed.

great view spaces are very good, plenty bins but no services, I.e. no fresh water or waste disposal areas, boy racers waste the enjoyment of the view, council and police need to do more, there is going to be a serious accident before the police and local council do anything

Un bel endroit plat, face à la mer... Des sportifs, des promeneurs de chiens... MAIS des aller/retour de véhicules frimeurs et bruyants le soir... vu plusieurs patrouilles de police. Heureusement, cela a cessé vers minuit et le reste de la nuit a été calme. 10£

Great spot next to the beech and decent size pitches. The boy racers spoil it a bit though, think the council should invest in more speed bumps. Recommend Ayr India takeaway just down the road.

We parked here for the day to explore Ayr. It was perfect. No services. Toilets nearby and 20 minute walk into the centre.

We had a really calm night here. Payed over an application on the phone. Walked into town abd had dinner in a pub. Beautiful spot to wake up right next to the sea.

Spent one night here (29 October) & think it’s a great initiative by the council. Free to use as out of season, but would happily pay if in season. Basic CDP facility, but no tap for rinsing out. As an aside, we highly recommend The Fox & Willow for a meal (10 minute walk), it was fantastic

Schön hier, ja! Das mit den kleinen Jungs, die hier ihre getunten Popelkarren mal so richtig hochschrauben, ist einfach nur peinlich. Und dass die Gemeinde hier so viel Wirbel macht mit „bewerten Sie uns“ und zehn Pfund pro Nacht verlangt, da könnte man auch einfach mal ein paar Poller aufstellen, dass die Bubis hier nicht so durchrasen können.. Das Gute: vor Mitternacht war Schluss.

Stellplatz wie ist beschrieben. Vor allem das Thema Auto-Poser ist wie beschrieben eingetroffen. Allerdings findet die Raserei und der Motoren und Musiklärm hinter und vor dem Wohnmobil statt. Das Problem ist wenn auch andernorts häufig anzutreffen hier besonders schlimm. Dieser Platz ist definitiv deswegen nicht zu empfehlen.

A pretty beach location, unfortunately the car park is not very private or quiet. Lots of traffic and people speeding around the car park until late at night, even during the week.

Gut um rasch an den Strand zu gelangen - Nachteil ist der Durchgangsverkehr für hinteren Parkplatzteil - am 24 Uhr wird es ruhig -keine Ver- und Entsorgung

Right on the beach. Council run site for 12 motorhomes and there were around 6 spaces occupied. Around £10 per night. A short walk into Ayr. Chemical waste disposal nearby. A few boy racers at night but they left by around 10:30 and caused us no problem. Visit the Fox and Willow for fabulous cocktails nearby.

Direkt am Strand, nachts recht bald sehr ruhig. Toller Ausblick. Für 10£ völlig ok.

We parked for the first time here and what a great view! £10 pay by phone and all spaces filled by 8pm. Some boy racers but not all night or disruptive after 11. In fact very peaceful after reading reviews that made us a bit worried. Was great to see the sea & beach from bed! Walked along prom into town for tea. Be warned there are several VERY unforgiving high speed humps all along to get here.

Totally unsuitable to park for night. Checked tonight and boy racer’s literally racing around the car park as has been reported by others . No police to be seen. No motorhome parking signs all along sea front so motorhomes are forced to use this area local council should be ashamed. Does NOT deserve even 1 star

Hi, was there in may, didn't sleep for cars flying around most of the night, and banging on side of motorhome, did call the police, they said it's a hot spot for this. Emailed the council which offered free parking on a different site, thanks for this. But want use again. spoilt the weekend there.

It's £10 per night. Tried to update description but won't let me. It's ok, but there were boy racers until about 1am. Toilets lovely and clean, open 9.30am-9pm 30p a go. Other campers here makes it feel safe to leave van and nip into town if you wish (we wanted to watch the football) Defo not the nicest spot on West Coast but ok, safe and flat. Not worth a tenner in my opinion

No loo emptying until end April.

Very large spaces. stayed on a Friday night and there were lots of youngsters in motors but it is on a thouroufair, quieted down after about 10.30. didn't really bother us massively. great sea views with immediate access to the beach, great for the dog.

Von April bis September kostenpflichtig. kann nur per Mobile, oder anrufen bezahlt werden. Leider habe ich es nicht geschafft zu Zahlen, da die Ein- bzw. Angabe des Nummernschildes notwendig ist. Mein deutsches wurde vom System nicht akzeptiert. Die Autoposer waren auch schon um 17 Uhr vor Ort. Wir sind zum alternativen Stellplatz am Ende der Esplanade gefahren.

OMG! wee boys/girls need to go and get a life or an airstrip!! round and round they go! toot toot, music blaring! dump valves galore & intake squeals! do not go if you want to sleep... yes its free out of season but will definitely not be back in season or out of season !

Enjoyed our night but the boy racers are numerous, loud and annoying!

Stopped here 30/10/21 . Ideal stopover .No Waste disposal as it is only available between April and Sept . Lads in their cars driving around until about 22.30hrs but didn’t disturb us ( the rain did that) . Toilets and cafe at bottom end of car park .

Parked here. no problems whatsoever last night. Saw a few cars with young people pass us a few times but no bother whatsoever. I was more worried about parking large tag axel. All fitted in. All free but no CPD now. You need to approach from the North end and you will miss the big speed humps that do exist to the south. So ideal for a night or two.

Impassable speed humps. Chemical toilet disposal fenced off and no evidence of any means to empty. Absolutely rubbish. Did not stay cannot recommend. Thank you to Ayr council in principle but this needs to be thought through a whole lot better!

Lovely view but we didn’t stay. There is an area cordoned off with Heras fencing and a sign saying Chemical Waste with no facilities in sight and no water tap to be found. Plus we couldn’t get our van anywhere near due to a series of very vicious speed ramps. We would have grounded out. Maybe approaching from the North it may be better but we gave up and drove on.

Boy racer comment pretty accurate. but slept sound after 10 when they all took daddies car home. rang the council to confirm if we could overnight because it was after September.the signage is a bit vague. They did ring me back the day after when we were leaving!.just to confirm there was no parking charge. overall a good stop right on the beach. dog friendly chippy near the law courts.

Yes it’s a great place but the boy racers are running riot Even on a wet Tuesday night. The council and police know so if they cba avoid. Feral scum need stingering. Go spend your money sometime appreciated.

Nice big spaces for campervans, with a lovely view of the sea! If you can deal with a bit of car noise in the evening, it's a fine spot. Really well run by the council with plenty of recycling bins and waste disposal. Would stay again, worth the £5.

Would have given it more stars but the local boy racers spoil it on Friday night, luckily it was raining so it was quite after 10.30.

All quiet when we visited. Spoke to wardens who said good feedback so far. Maybe those who have had bad experiences could let council know as could be a great asset to town and motorhome community.

Stayed 13/09 overnight. Absolutely horrendously noisy until midnight. cars taking off from the road bumps and doing wheelies, also horns blaring. Such a shame that police make no effort to stop this nonsense. There is also a water tank but this is meant for cleaning cassettes but noticed other motorhome owner tanking up with drinking water using the same hose. Where do these people come from???

AVOID - Never felt so scared in all of my life. Paid £5.35 for 24 motorhome parking to be intimidated by boy/girl racers using the car park as a race track in between our motorhomes until 1am. Horns beeping, loud music playing, revving up and speeding up and down the esplanade. Well done to the Council for organising it but the night time behaviour needs to be stooped by the police.

Great views, friendly people but still noisy cars at night beeping horns.

Great initiative by the council with nice views and waste disposal and fresh water all for £5 totally spoilt by boy/girl racers who kept driving round in a loop with stereos blaring,tooting horns and shouting and screaming getting louder and louder as the night went on until about 12am had to make ear plugs up out of loo roll. The police need to get involved to sort this out . AVOID

The views are stunning. It was also a pleasant night sleep. There were some loud car noise but it didn’t really bother us, and it stopped around 22.30. Would stop here again.

Really nice place, beautiful views and easy to park. £5.15 for the night via ringgo app so easy to pay- and the following day is free to park until 6pm. As others have said - there were a few car enthusiasts in the car park so a bit of shouting / exhausts but nothing too bad. The toilets are quite far away down the other end of the beach and they are open 9am-9pm. Nice location and nice pub nearby

Has potential to be a great spot but was plagued by racers all night, reviving engines, screaming and shouting and loud music. We paid the £5 but after an hour of being there we cut our losses and moved further up the road.

Really great spot on the beach with amazing views of the unspoilt and quiet beach. unfortunately echoing what other reviewers have said they have a real issue with boy/girl racers, sped by so fast a stone flew up and hit the van and chipped the window (luckily we've got an old banger but something to bear in mind for nicer vans!)

Seafront £5 per night with waste disposal & water refill. Be aware of speed bumps as our MH “hit” the bumps every time we went through and there’s one MH broke it’s grey water pipe due to the bumps. Btw there’s no water pipe connection so a bucket is needed to refill the water. And we noticed that the water was bit yellowish so we didn’t refill it for drinking water. The tank shows “water only”.

Great spot with lovely views, unfortunately spoilt by boy racers reving cars beeping horns and shouting from car windows. could be a great spot if the council did something to counteract this. shame really.

Brilliant views and great pricing but the boy/girl racers are shocking. Revving of the engines, shrieking out the window and music blasting. Not the quiet sea front experience I expected. Will not be returning. Council needs to sort this if this is going to be a long term plan.

Great potential however if the council did something about the boy racers it would be a fantastic spot to stay

Lovely views but a “rat run” for boy racers, circling the area, revving their engines, hooting, loud music and speeding.No beach patrol to notify. We were forced to leave as the noise was intolerable. Wasted £5.15. It states £5 to stay but there is an undisclosed admin fee.

Lovely spot for £5 from 6pm to 9am, Free in the day time. Gorgeous sunset. Can be a bit noisy in the evening because of the racer boys. The tanks in the corner are excellent, well done to the council for providing them instead of not allowing motorhomes to stay overnight. Just needed drinking water as well.

Good spot right on beach, 5 pound for the night enter by North entrance as large road humps on south entrance making the south entrance not sutable for motor homes as will ground out. The spaces are large with a slight down hill slop toward beach...5 pound Overnight is from 6pm till 9am with no return in 24 hours

It is great that rather than banning motorhomes they're embracing them in this way. Yes there are boy racers here in the evenings so bring a pair of earplugs if you're an early/light sleeper. The tanks in the corner are excellent, well done to the council for providing them. However I would ward people off from using the water as a potable water source as it's so close to the black water.

Right on the front 11 moterhomes tonight. sat 26thjune. easy to pay by phone. down side the boy/girl racers and motorbikes. went on till about 1.30am the police did come and go. so if you think this will bother you dont go. the council emptied the bins about 6.30am. I think this is a great thing to council are doing for £5 a night.

Lovey place, personally felt it was worth the £5 for a safe park up and right next to the beach. We stayed on a Saturday night June 2021 and noticed there was a waste disposal tank set up in corner for campers to use. As noted in other comments there was a "car meet" but we enjoyed seeing the pimped up cars, police regular patrolled the car park and everyone seemed to dissappear by 11ish.

Stpped 10th June for the night . lots of history to see in the town . Kids driving in and out of the carpark are only a problem if you let them be , we are parking in their carpark, let them have their fun . we where all young once. On the morning of the 12th , two , 1000 litre waste tank were installed and a fresh water bowser. Not operational at the minute but won't be long .

Its a boy recers race track...bad during the week, stopped there 2nd June..didnt quieten down till after midnight....I imagine it would be much worse at the weekend. Police were about, done nothing. Keep your £5 25p. and park in one of the quiet side streets. Honestly, it was a terrible night. Even paying the fee was a nightmare..automated service which kept noting the wrong reg no. Never again.

Great initiative by South Ayrshire council spoilt by putting the facility where the local youth enjoy racing their cars with ear shattering exhausts. Bikers similarly. I do not believe that someone in the planning process did not know the problem existed. As these boy racers appear endemic in Ayr - a wonderful town, so good I stayed a week (not on this Aire though).

Terrible noise from driversplease ring 101 to complain to both the council and local police

Nice place shame about the kids in cars constantly driving threw. If you are going to stay then come in the right way (without speed ramps... north entrance) as these will easily damage lower vans.

Good idea Ayrshire council has stayed 28/05/21 but boy racers all nite roaring past tooting horn the Motorhome square should be blocked off barrier system I won’t be staying again

Teenagers parking cars in motorhome bays, revving engines and shouting until midnight last night. Paid £5 for the pleasure of it. Couldn't move our van as we had to stay in the designated area for motorhomes. Toilets 30p, you need change. Definitely wouldn't stay again.
