About Bridgend Campsite
On the west coast of Arran, Bridgend Campsite delivers the full island package: perfectly flat pitches framing mountain and sea views, spotless facilities with powerful hot showers, and friendly staff who share local tips along with a warm welcome. The Arran Coastal Way passes nearby, Machrie Moor's standing stones lie five minutes away by car, and wild swimming beckons at sandy Blackwaterfoot Beach or Drumadoon Bay. Golfers have Shiskine's dramatic links on their doorstep, while families appreciate the playground's swings and mini adventure course.
The on-site shop stocks local cheeses and chutneys alongside camping basics, and reasonable prices add to the appeal. Some pitches sit on gravel or slightly uneven ground, but most campers find the trade-off worthwhile for those sunset vistas. A communal fridge-freezer, ice-pack freezing and charging points round out the amenities. Whether you're here to climb peaks, trace ancient history or simply soak up Arran's spectacular scenery, this peaceful spot makes an excellent base.

What visitors say
Staying here for 2 nights. Arrived with the sun shining down on us. (February 26) We were greeted by Pamela and Kevin the sites owners. Very friendly & helpful with where to walk our dogs and buses, which you can catch outside the site itself. Where the facilities were etc. Lovely little site, which is very clean. Beautiful views of the mountains and sea. Never been to a smaller site before, so was a little nervous, but we are so impressed we would certainly come back again. They are continuously improving the site, even an electric car charging point. The showers are powerful with plentiful of hot water sink & loo all together. Little park area for small children. Look forward to returning. Thank you!😊 Jo, Alan, Teddy🦮 & Cassie🐩 Had some fabulous walks with amazing views.

A beautiful campsite nestled in the natural surroundings of the Isle of Arran. Pamela and Kevin are incredibly friendly and helpful, and they take wonderful care of the site. The sanitary facilities are clean and well-maintained. The small shop sells fresh milk and ice cream from a local Arran supplier – absolutely delicious. The peace and quiet are equally exceptional for relaxation. I would give this campsite 7 stars. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality, Pam and Kev. Bert from Hamburg

Pamela and Kev will give you a warm welcome when you arrive. Check-in simple, open the gate and view the board. We booked many months in advance and landed pitch 8 which was brilliant. Two sheds house the facilities which are rustic and clean. There is a freezer and fridge for use. Bus stop right outside the site which enables you to access the whole island albeit we drove. It’s just a Short bus trip to Blackwaterfoot, which has a great convenience store near the petrol station and another hardware / food store over the bridge, the brilliant Arran butcher is a must, they may have limited opening hours and close early but open later in Brodick just 10 miles away. Kinloch Hotel had a great bar and lounge has a view over the sea, beer garden is great too, welcoming to all visitors. Highly recommend and would definitely come again.

A very lovely little campsite, peaceful and well hosted by Pamela and Kev. Facilities were well kept. EV chargers had recently been installed which was ideal for us in our all electric EV camper. Fabulous on site shop with fresh Arran milk and many useful items. Look forward to our return.
