Due to the ongoing COVID restrictions and high demand on our facilities, we have temporarily closed our booking system for the rest of July and August. We will review this when the government lifts restrictions in Scotland. Please do not just turn up to camp if you do not have a booking.
Any deposits taken for a holiday which has to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 measures will be held for a future visit.
Our COVID-19 safety measures will remain in place until the Scottish Government advises us that they can be lifted.
Our safety measures:

The washrooms will be open but as 2 unisex blocks, only one social group may use either block at a time. Each block will have toilets and showers, however the hair dryers will not be in use.

May 2017:
"Lochranza Campsite does well securing the GOLD award at first grading attempt. Kathryn and Nigel have clearly put in a lot of effort to reduce some of the bigger potential impacts of the site, engage with other island organisations/charities, and also give a really green experience to guests."
