This is a summer like no other for us all. Holidays are good for body and soul but we all must think about every action we take so that we do not endanger ourselves or others.

If you are thinking of coming to stay at Lochranza Campsite this summer please read the following information carefully:-

 

Is Arran open? Yes, but some Arran cafes, restaurants and visitor attractions will not be opening this summer. Please check with VisitArran as to what is and isn’t open.  Food can be bought at Pirnmill Stores (7 miles from Lochranza) and the Co-op at Brodick. The island is still as beautiful as ever with lots of great walking to enjoy.

 

Our safety measures:

We will be cleaning the facilities that are open in accordance with government instructions. Please use your private facilities if possible.

We have halved the number of pitches available for booking to limit the numbers on site.

The following facilities will NOT be available: Basecamp, fridges, drying cupboard, outside cooking shelter.

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. If you do not have your own facilities we recommend bringing a portapotty in case of urgent need. This can be emptied in the chemical disposal point.

The following facilities are available: chemical disposal, hook-ups, bins, water, laundry.

 

Important points:

• Book your ferry ticket first. The Arran ferries have reduced capacity this year due to social distancing
• Social distancing (minimum 2m) on the campsite is essential at all times, please be very respectful of other guest's personal space
  
• A face covering or mask must be worn when booking in at reception, when talking to our staff and when using the laundry
  
• When you first arrive we will check you in using a safe payment screen. Bank card payments preferred, only one person in reception at any one time
  
• Handwashing facilities will be available. Please use them every time you have touched gates, door handles, light switches, taps, hook up points, outdoor tables and bins

If you develop signs of coronavirus you must self-isolate, seek a test, and if positive follow the instuctions for isolation.

Campsites are very friendly places and we are sorry that it will be essential for staff to keep face-to-face talking to a bare minimum this year. We are all living through uncharted waters and we must trust each other to take care of one another’s wellbeing whilst enjoying a great outdoors holiday.

A Quiet Site

The campsite in brief:
Tents, caravans and motor-homes welcome for holidays and short breaks.
Four camping pods for hire.

Lochranza Campsite is owned and managed by staff who are active campers and caravanners.

We also have dishwashing sinks, an outdoor cooking shelter and a chemical toilet disposal point.

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."
